Weekend Watch: Beasts of the Southern Wild/ 12 Years a Slave

This weekend, I took the time out of my "oh so busy" schedule
and indulged in two wonderfully made films.
The first, which is the most recent, would be "12 Years a Slave".
No, I'm not "Director Literate", but I can pretend to be
soooooo......bravo to Steve McQueen and his intricate view on the truth!!!
For those of you who have not seen this movie, which is based on a true story about a free man who was brought into slavery, dont forget your Kleenex.
You might also want to save them for "Beasts of the Southern Wild".
My second feature stars the very adorable and brave Quvenzhané Wallis.
Not only did she make me cry, but she made me laugh, love and find my inner beast.
It is ironic though that she lived in a bayou named "The Bathtub", but was absolutely filthy.
Have you ever just wanted to give a child a bath and comb their hair?
All in all, both wonderful films.
