The critics who have been blasting last night’s Oscar show as the “worst Oscarcast” in history have selective amnesia. Yes, the show was a bore but then it’s always a bore unless something remarkable–like an upset–happens. Plus, now that the stupid Oscar team has excised probably the most moving part of the show, the Irving [...]
For tonight’s Oscars, I don’t expect we’re going to see any huge surprises in the top categories. Pretty much who we expect to win (Colin Firth, Natalie Portman, Christian Bale, Aaron Sorkin for the screenplay of The Social Network) will win. There may be surprises/upsets in the following categories though: Best Picture: Though The King’s [...]
Oy…Yesterday the 201o Razzies (they’re the anti-Oscars) announced their winners. And it looks like Sex and The City 2 “won” big with “honors” in the following category: Best Actress (entire cast), Best Screen Ensemble and Worst Prequel, Remake, Rip-Off or Sequel. I think I read somewhere that Sarah Jessica Parker wants there to be a [...]
Yesterday (on Oscars eve), the 2011 Independent Spirit Awards gave out its awards for the year. Top honors went to Darren Aronofsky (Best Director) for Black Swan, Oscar frontrunner Natalie Portman (Best Actress) and Best Feature (Black Swan). Oscars co-host James Franco (and recurring soap actor) won for Best Actor for his work in 127 [...]
Okay, we’re barely into 2011 but after seeing the cinematic atrocity that is Just Go With It this past weekend, I think I may have found the year’s worst film so far. I’m sure there will be scores of contenders for this title by year’s end but make no mistake about it: This film is [...]
Honestly, it’s only February 2011 and so far, this movie has my vote as the WORST of the year. Horrendous. Jennifer Aniston: Please fire your agent! Review (god help me) to come soon.
Initially, I thought she would make a great Catwoman but Anne Hathaway is now playing that role in the upcoming sequel to The Dark Knight. I thought Cotillard’s pregnancy (she’s due in April according to People.com) took her out of the running, which is why I’m so surprised to read that she is indeed joining [...]
Marlon Brando’s co-star in Last Tango in Paris has died at the age of 58 after a long bout with cancer. I’m very sorry to hear this. I remember going to see Last Tango at the Bleeker Street Cinema (or was it Cinema Village), a once popular movie revival house that has long closed its [...]
Vanity Fair’s annual Hollywood issue is out with the March edition. And true to past precedent, the magazine has a glossy cover (or rather gatefold) with some of Tinseltown’s most “exciting” (they say) up and coming stars. As you can see on the front panel is (left to right) Ryan Reynolds, Jake Gyllenhaal, Anne Hathaway [...]
