OSCARS NIGHT 2012 | The Ranking

BEGINNERS > The cos­tume party scene = most roman­tic pick-up ever. Arthur, the sub-title talk­ing dog, as funny as Jon Hamm’s uncred­ited Ted. Con­tinue read­ing

OSCAR NIGHT 2011 | 127 Hours

I expected a large por­tion of the screen time to be in set up (get­ting to the point of being stuck) and a sig­nif­i­cant amount of scenes of what was hap­pen­ing in the real world when they finally learned he was miss­ing. Nope. Con­tinue read­ing

OSCAR NIGHT 2011 | The King’s Speech

I could han­dle Bel­la­trix as Queen Eliz­a­beth, and Dum­b­le­dore as King George V seemed quite nat­ural, but I just couldn’t get past Worm­tail as Churchill. Con­tinue read­ing

OSCAR NIGHT 2011 | The Social Network

The Social Net­work is filled with sev­eral char­ac­ters, based on real peo­ple, who have some fairly strong inten­tions. The dia­log is sharp, fast-paced, and witty. A lot like The West Wing. The open­ing scene where Zuckerberg’s girl­friend dumps him is a cut­ting ver­bal melee of sar­cas­tic jabs and assaults. Con­tinue read­ing

OSCAR NIGHT 2011 | The Fighter

Another under­dog sports story inspired by a true story. Think Rocky, Rudy, or Invin­ci­ble (which also starred Mark Wahlberg). The movie is uplift­ing and worth two hours, but also pre­dictable and for­mu­laic. The plot also serves up three sup­port­ing role nom­i­nees. Con­tinue read­ing

OSCAR NIGHT 2011 | Black Swan

Thomas Leroy, artis­tic direc­tor of a New York City bal­let com­pany, sets the stage for their open­ing pro­duc­tion of Swan Lake. Nina, played by Natalie Port­man who is nom­i­nated for Best Actress in a Lead­ing Role, lands the lead role and strug­gles to over­come her uptight, unre­al­is­tic stan­dards for per­fec­tion and her over­bear­ing, over con­trol­ling mommy dear­est.

OSCAR NIGHT 2011 | The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo

The girl with the dragon tat­too, Lis­beth, is also an inves­ti­ga­tor, only not an elite-news-magazine-reporter kind of snoop like Mikael, but more like a Wik­iLeaks hacker-who-knows-all-your-passwords kind of snoop. The two join forces to find the decades-old killer and make a intrigu­ing odd cou­ple, mainly because of Mikael’s gen­er­ous uncon­di­tional awe for Lis­beth. Con­tinue read­ing
