Re: 12 Years a Slave reviews
I saw my old college roommate last week, and he volunteered that the movie that’s disappointed him most all year is 12 Years. This is a guy with perfectly good taste, and he didn’t dislike the movie: he just thought it fell well short of what he’d been promised -- and what most the Oscar bloggers c...

Re: Best Films I saw in 2013 not from 2013 (or 2012)
Setting goals is certainly the way to explore cinema of the past. And it is fun tracking down all the stuff you want to see. It's also frustrating not been able to see films one longs to see. I have the goal to watch all films nominated for best picture and acting categories. I've been able to get ...

Re: 12 Years a Slave reviews
- If Lupita Nyongo' wins the oscar for this it will go down in my book as one of the most ridiculous wins ever. She has two scenes of which one of them is just screaming at being whipped. Interesting. I hadn't heard such a facile reading of her performance until now. (She has more than "two sc...

Re: 12 Years a Slave reviews
Well, probably my expectations were too high, but this turned out to be one of the biggest dissapointments of the year. Few thoughts: - Pretty uneven plot and script structure. Actually one might only feel that 12 years have gone by after Solomon is reunited with his family (and the terrible make-up...

Re: National Society of Film Critics
I think Oscar Isaac and Adele Exarchopolous have a better shot at winning Oscars this year than Jennifer Lawrence has of repeating so soon. Damn. That means Lupita will win for 12 Years a Slave for a performance that basically consisted of screaming on cue each time the whip hit her. Not a good ome...

Re: American Hustle reviews
I've seen American Hustle and I had a great time, but I don't feel I came out of it with a sense that this was a great film. It doesn't have any high-minded principle to make a statement about. I cannot think of a film since perhaps The Sting that actually won the Oscar without being about anything...
