I'm sick today. This is slightly more sensible at this point than Oscar prognostication. Best Dramatic Picture Inception The King's Speech The Social Network The Town True Grit (sixth - The Fighter) Best Comedic or Musical Picture Alice in Wonderland How Do You Know? The Kids Are All Right Love and...

Best Adapted Screenplay is a strong lineup. The End of the Affair, Eyes Wide Shut, Fight Club, The Talented Mr. Ripley, and Toy Story 2. All very good films. Election isn't just a great movie, it's a great adaptation of a very funny book. Fight Club is a better adaptation of a better book, but I th...

(The Original BJ @ Nov. 08 2010,4:01) Man, we also snubbed Being John Malkovich in Best Picture!!! I think that Being John Malkovich is the second best film of 1999, behind Fight Club. I think American Beauty, Eyes Wide Shut, The Sixth Sense, and The Talented Mr. Ripley are all very good films, and...

Stone (John Curran) This is the weekend of under-reaching narratives. John Curran's Stone is adapted from Angus MacLachlan's play, and it feels that way. On the stage, this might be slightly more scintillating stuff. I could see it as a two man show very easily. Through reasonably shrewd sleight of...

Time to make the donuts... GROUP I Fight Club replaces The Cider House Rules in the category of Best Picture. GROUP IIa Fight Club replaces The Talented Mr. Ripley in the category of Best Adapted Screenplay. GROUP IIb Carter Burwell's beautifully lilting score for Being John Malkovich replaces John...

I already reviewed it on the Review Thread. I think this film is going to get quite a few nominations and a lot of it will be good will stemming from James Franco's outstanding performance, which is undercut by Danny Boyle at all times. Nominations for: Best Picture Best Director Best Actor - James...

/Topsy-Turvy/ (Mike Leigh) - 8.5/10 Watched this one for the first time in at least a decade. It doesn't quite hold up as I had hoped. Oddly, the film's first hour is the strongest as the collaboration between Gilbert and Sullivan nears decay, and the suddenly and most unexpectedly inspiration hits...

1995 was the first year I paid attention to the Academy Awards. I hadn't seen close to all the films but I was very much paying attention to who was nominated for what. The Screen Actor's Guild nominated Susan Sarandon, Elisabeth Shue, Meryl Streep, Emma Thompson, and Joan Allen for Nixon for Best ...

Take a moment and watch the trailer. I know how that sounds but hear me out. The straight-forward self-accusation that James Franco delivers to his handicap juxtaposed with the hopeless imagery set to Band of Horses' The Funeral conveys such a beautiful sense of humanity. And like all trailers affo...

My choice would be Elodie Bouchez for Wild Reeds, probably the best film to be released in America in 1995. Judging from the nominees, one would assume this to be a barren wasteland for nominees. What's the difference between Georgia and Smoke or The Crossing Guard? All three had Miramax behind the...

/Jungle Fever/ (Spike Lee) - 6/10 Sometimes it's difficult not to review the film that wasn't made. I was ten when this film was released but I'm reasonably sure it was criticized in some circles for not truly creating a portrait of the central interracial relationship. This film is a mess in conce...
