I prefer Gigi to An American in Paris but both are incredibly slight pictures. An American in Paris dwelled way too long on many of the dance numbers, dragging them beyond what was tolerable. They feel just as important to the plot as the montages in The Great Ziegfeld. Though beautiful to look at,...

Stanley Kubrick has long been one of my favorite directors. I made it my mission to watch every Kubrick film I could get my hands on. I have almost done so. I have his three oldest films (The Killing, Spartacus, and Paths of Glory left to watch). I was also very close to finishing the Quentin Taran...

Missed Gods and Monsters. But it still doesn't materially alter the situation as two of 40 is still not good odds. And Borat is based on a sketch comedy character. How can a film based on such not be considered sketch comedy? Wayne's World, Blues Brothers and all of the other SNL movies would be co...

PAN'S LABYRINTH SPOILER I was discussing the Fairy Tale vs. Hallucinations issue with some friends, and one who is adamently pro-fairy tale pointed out that the Captain finds the mandrake under the bed, and it wouldn't have been there if it was just Ofelia's imagination. SPOILER Correction. He foun...

Pan's Spoilers Contained I think there's a different meaning to be derived from the film. First of all, we are given the clue that it's just a child's imagination when, in the scene when they are searching through her room at the end, you see a chalk outline on the wall. I also tend to believe that...

I'll disagree Precious. I know Anonymous has it right. This was discussed the year it won and it was clear that the Academy was honoring it because it couldn't recognize the film in other, heftier categories. In the past 10 to 20 years, the Academy has had a tendency towards recognizing every Best ...
