What a year, huh? Check out what I recommend watching ahead of next week's Oscar nominations!

An original yet old-school update to the sci-fi genre from one of our freshest filmmakers: Looper (2012)

A gritty, character-driven sports movie that still delivers on the thrills: Warrior (2011)

The first "Sleeper Rec" is here: Martin Scorsese's criminally overlooked work of psychologically thrilling art: Shutter Island (2010)
