Chop Shop
A little slight but nice diversion. Interesting milieu.

what film strikes you as an obvious candidate for the NY Critics’ Award? I dunno - I thought Rachel Getting Married was a strong candidate from that group. Mister Tee, is EW pushing Taraji P. Henson? If so, she was in Hustle and Flow as well, and has been the blogosphere's choice for quite some tim...

A victory by Shue, Streep or Sarandon would've been one of the best victories. Sarandon's victory is probably my favourite though. Supporting Actor? No passes, no Spacey, and I would've considered it. I'm not quite sure how this film became the de facto hipster film of 1995, nor am I sure how it we...

Go see 'Let the Right One In' right now before it is overrated to the point of absurdity. Yes. This is a nice little movie that, judging by its IMDB rating already, is likely to be oversold to a ludicrous degree. But as a modest, Scandinavian-cold-n-stoic twist on the vampire myth, it's pretty intr...

Of course over at other message boards, everyone was predicting this for Picture/Director/Actor/Supporting Actor/Screenplay, and so on, not having learned their lesson from falling on their faces with every other previous Ed Zwick movie. Heh. That's totally me. Blame Blood Diamond for getting a nom...

I think Kung Fu Panda is a near lock for a nod. It's actually quite a solidly acclaimed film and had a great run at the box office, whereas Bashir has some serious detractors, in terms of both actual animation and storytelling. Additionally, I think The Tales of Despereaux is just the film that cou...

I was gonna replace Hepburn or Neal, but Hepburn's performance is probably the only time she actually deserved the win, so left her alone. Ignoring the fact that The Battle of Algiers was on no one's radar at the time, I think the Criterion release pretty much conclusively proves that it's a master...

That's a weird thought - but of all her leading nominations, only one has come from a film with a corresponding lead actor nod, if my memory is working (Jack Nicholson for Ironweed ). On the other hand, all her supporting work has been nominated alongside other supporting performers from the same f...
