The New Academy Darlings
I posted like crazy in the past 5 days, so I’ll be keeping it short today. Obviously, the Oscars were last night and most of the results did not come as a surprise to many of us. I’m thrilled to say that my top 4 picks won (Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Director, Best Picture) […]
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. […]
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 […]
Judy Greer: Once a Supporting Actress, Always a Supporting Actress?
After a one-day break from being sick, I’m back (and still sick), but happy to post nonetheless. Today’s post is one I have been thinking about for ages, yet never took the time until now to starting writing about. And yes, of all the posts to be musing about, it is all about Judy Greer, […]
Twelve Months of Movies, 2011 Ed.
Instead of picking the best or the most interesting or even my top 12 movies of the year, I decided that with Christmas being this month, I would do my own segment of the “Twelve Months of Movies” — and choose my favorite film, a runner-up, my pick for worst movie, and if applicable, movies […]
Mini-Reviews: The Muppets and The Descendants
I’m back after the hiatus with a double-mini review on the latest Muppets movie to hit theaters and the latest of George Clooney in The Descendants. First, let’s start with The Muppets. OK, let me just say that Jason Segel is a little bit of a genius. The fun, quirky songs, the back story of how all […]
