Backstage Spotlight: The Overlapping Themes of Hugo, The Artist, and Midnight in Paris
Having finally seen Hugo this past weekend, I was once again brought into France via the movies–this time, a Parisian world, namely a train station, built by Martin Scorsese. After seeing it, I noticed that Midnight in Paris, Hugo, and The Artist all share some overlapping themes that made 2011 film feel very full circle for me. These are the similar ideas/themes […]
Oscar Chatter with Kristin and Matt: Best Picture
Kristin: Out of the nine films nominated, I’ve seen all but War Horse, Hugo, and Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close. The good news is that I don’t believe out of those three films, that any stand a chance of winning. The most likely of them is Hugo, but even then, I see Hugo vying more for Best Director than Best Picture. […]
Oscar Chatter with Matt and Kristin: Best of Writing, Cinematography, and Art
Kristin: I’m still fighting off this unnerved frustration of seeing 50/50‘s Will Reiser being denied a nomination, but here’s what I think considering the nominees: It’s a tough call in this category, because most of the contenders are strong. I have not seen A Separation, so I cannot comment on Asghar Farhadi’s script, but I was very […]
Oscar Chatter with Matt and Kristin: Best Director
Hi all! I’ve been MIA since last Friday, so apologies for being gone so long. The Oscars are right around the corner, and now I’m back with some Oscar discussion between me and my movie friend, Matt. Today we’ll be talking about Best Director. Stay tuned for more Oscar discussion in the next couple days. […]
AEOS Review: The Artist
Unfortunately, I was unable to post yesterday, so today will be a double header. Up first is my review on The Artist, which also happens to be my number one pick of favorite movies for 2011. The first silent film I saw was Diary of a Lost Girl, a 1929 film made by a German filmmaker […]
Top Ten Favorite Movies of 2011
The time has come for me to finally make this list. I haven’t seen Tree of Life or Drive yet, so I feel like this list could possibly be adjusted after a viewing of either, but despite those exceptions, I still had a difficult time compiling this list. Without further ado, here are my top […]
Yes, I’m Going to Talk about the Golden Globes
And the nominees are . . . Not going to be listed here. But if you’d like to see a list, they’re just about anywhere else. Like Fandango, or Rotten Tomatoes, where it lists the movies with their RT rating. Kinda nifty. Unfortunately, I haven’t see all of the films/performances that are up for awards […]
Little Less Known Up and Coming Movies
I boggled my mind to come up with a decent title for this post, but as you just read, it doesn’t really fit what I’m trying to describe. There’s a few movies that haven’t been marketed to death in our theater previews, TV commercials, and various billboards outside. These movies, however, are some of the […]
