Quick note about The King's Speech...
Whatever you opinion may be about this film, you have to admit that it does not have the best ensemble. I’m not saying that just because I love The Social Network but because it is the truth. The Social Network, The Fighter and even The Kids Are All Right have a better ensemble than The King’s Speech. But The King’s Speech won (unfairly) and there’s nothing I can do about...

The King’s Speech Set to Sweep Oscars →
This article right here is scaring the hell out of me. The website from which this article is taking from is a website dedicated to the awards race, to analyzing why some films win the Oscar while others do not, etc. Much like the woman who runs the website, I too thought (still think actually) that The Social Network was going to win most of the major awards come Oscar time. That however is no...

A First Impressions Anecdote of: The Rite.
I think that in the realm of scary films, the ones about exorcism have the most difficulty. Why? Because once you’ve seen a film about exorcism, you’ve seen them all. There isn’t much they can do besides showing you a priest in conflict with his faith, a girl doing odd things with her limbs and speaking in a creepy deep voice, and weird images of demonic stuff. But the main...

A First Impressions Anecdote of: RED.
A couple of days I started watching RED and I really couldn’t get into it. I wasn’t sober at the time so I had no idea what was going in the film, it all seemed too confusing. But after re-watching it today, sober, I must say that I’m surprised as to how fun, funny and good RED is. I now understand why the film was such a box office hit and why it was nominated for Best Picture...

WatchJames Franco disses The Social Network.
Why James Franco? Why are you making me hate you? First it’s your overbearing voice in all the Actor’s Roundtable that makes you look so full of yourself, and now you’re totally dissing on The Social Network? While I agree that the story in The Social Network is not innovative in any sort of way, do no tell me that 127 Hours is better....

WatchNewsweek Actor’s Roundtable.
Annette Benning discusses being pregnant during the Oscars.
Let me just say that I am in love with this woman. I love her voice, there’s such an elegance and grace to it.
P.S. Love the last bit about James Franco.

WatchNewsweek Actor’s Roundtable.
“Michelle Williams, James Franco and Nicole Kidman on playing real people.”
I absolutely love how Michelle Williams and Nicole Kidman discuss/describe playing Marilyn Monroe and Virgina Wolf. So fascinating to me.
P.S. The less we talk about James Franco the better. I still don’t understand why he always screams at the microphone. Dude, we...

A First Impressions Anecdote of: Harry Brown.
Harry Brown has been labelled as the British response to Clint Eastwood’s Gan Torino. While that is an accurate comparison, there are of course some very predominant differences between the two. The main one is the lead actors, Clint Eastwood gives a very intimidating and unapologetic vibe to the film whereas Michael Cane establishes a more intimate, serious and threatening mood. Which one...

A First Impressions Anecdote of: Exit Through The...
I’ve always said that if there’s one true thing about documentaries is that they are interesting. Whether you end up liking them is a whole different matter. I use to believe that there couldn’t be a documentary I wouldn’t like, especially one that deals with street art. The common misconception about Exit Through The Gift Shop is that it is a film about the famous street...

Oscar Nominations: The Reactions...
I’m so disappointed that Andrew Garfield wasn’t nominated for Best Supporting Actor. Why is Jeremy Renner even in there? Garfield gave the better performance.
While I’m one of those people who knows for sure that Inception won’t win in any of the major categories, I’m really surprised that he was snubbed from the Best Director category. I don’t understand why...

Why ‘Tron 3′ Already Sounds Off to a Good Start →
While I didn’t hate Tron: Legacy (it is what it is) I am really excited for the 3rd one if they’re going this route. Maybe the fact that Tron: Legacy’s plot didn’t make any sense was done purposely with the intention of explaining everything in the next film. Not a very good move, but I guess it sort of makes sense.

Double Review: Roger Dodger and Please Give.
Roger Doger.
On a visit to New York City for a university interview, Nick (Jesse Eisenberg) visits his uncle Roger (Campbell Scott) for some help. Nick has a difficulty with women in the sense that he has absolutely no idea how to speak to them, which is why he is still a virgin. After revealing this to Roger, Roger takes him through the ropes of how to check out ladies, of the ways one can...
