I think I've been a bit too contrary in some of these choices, but I'm hoping for a few upsets to make the night a bit interesting... Picture: The Social Network (The King's Speech) Actor: Colin Firth (Jessie Eisenberg) Actress: Annette Benning (Natalie Portman) Supporting Actor: Geoffrey Rush (Chr...

I will say that I’m not voting for The Social Network. Good movie, but definitely not Best Picture. I’m so happy that it got shut out of the last few awards. Enough of certain organizations, like critics groups, trying to act cool and hip by voting for it. And besides, it peaked too early.” Apart f...

The King's Speech is a reasonably well-acted film, which is to say that Hoo/pper is conscientious of Colin Firth who is very good, Geoffrey Rush who is very average, and Helena Bonham Carter who is barely there. hmmm...I thought Geoffrey Rush was the standout in the King's Speech and had far more s...

Thanks Damien. I thought the war setting bordered on being incidential. As I pointed out in another thread, it reminded me a little bit of Requiem for a Dream; in the way the structure of the film mirrored the good-highs/bad-lows/paranoia of an addict. Only the Hurt Locker seemed even more depressi...

Finally saw it last week. I think the film worked ok as a study of addictiveness. The structure seemed to mirror the highs and lows of an addict's life...the big hit adrenaline rush followed by the long down periods; the inevitable, drawn-out, bad high (the scenes in the desert) and the paranoia (b...

I think one of the reasons THE HURT LOCKER is different from most war movies celebrated by Hollywood is that it is not about soldiers who kill. This movie focuses on three soldiers who diffuse bombs. They save lives. They save the lives of their fellow soldiers and they save the lives of the innoce...
