Playing Catch Up: Dallas Buyers Club & Enough Said

I went to the movies this weekend! Well.. sorta

Enough Said and Dallas Buyers Club are 2 films that had been alluding me for quite some time (both were never playing in my area when I finally had the time to sit down and watch them), but luckily, I was able to catch up with them both in a sort of double feature. Of the 2, Dallas Buyers Club is the one with the chances at Oscar glory; the film itself, Matthew McConaughey, Jared Leto, and possibly other [deserving facets] will get nominated.

Enough Said, however, is a film that deserves much more acclaim than it has won (and it's won quite a bunch). It isn't easy territory, but the trio of director/screenwriter Nicole Holofcener, and stars Julia Louis Dreyfus and James Gandolfini elevate what could have very well been a simple "rom com" to a greatly touching, memorable and mature film.
