He's not black. I think his wife is though.

Yes, I do prefer Siskel to Roeper.

It´s funny. We share the same character.

That was a mistake. I changed it.

I think the best comparison is not Johnny Depp '03 but Jamie Lee Curtis '03: a family film performance everyone agreed was terrific, but in a film Oscar wouldn't take seriously enough.

Just wait until the theatre queens get their claws out . . .

Oh, I don't know. People over at BroadwayWorld website are largely positive.

Just because Johnny doesn't sound like George or Len, it doesn't mean that he's bad.

I wouldn't consider Anne Frank Remembered to be the same stylistically as The Diary of Anne Frank. They both tell the same story. One through a matter-of-fact manner using interviews and archive footage. The other through actors and recreated sets/dialogue for dramatic effect. Just like Cocteau's L...

Here's my proposal: Film eligibility: 01. Film should be at least 10 minutes in length. 02. Documentaries should be eligible. If your reasoning that documentaries shouldn't be eligible because "they operate on different rules than that of regular feature films" then animated films should ...
