Academy Debuts Official Poster for the 84th Academy Awards
Posted on Wednesday, December 28, 2011 at 9:45 pm by Danny King in the Awards categoryMy Hypothetical Oscar Ballot
Posted on Wednesday, December 28, 2011 at 3:23 pm by Danny King in the Awards categoryOn the heels of completing my Top 10 list on Monday, I’ve decided to now offer up my hypothetical Oscar ballot for the 2011 year in film.

Oscar Predictions: Spielberg’s ‘War Horse’ Trying to Build Late-Year Momentum
Posted on Tuesday, December 27, 2011 at 5:17 pm by Danny King in the Awards categoryWith both The Adventures of Tintin and War Horse hitting theaters this holiday season, Steven Spielberg will undoubtedly be the focus of much year-end movie discussion, both Oscar- and box-office-related. His inflated stage adaptation, without question, is the more major … Continue reading
Movie Review: ‘Pariah’ (2011)
Posted on Tuesday, December 27, 2011 at 3:38 pm by Danny King in the Reviews categoryIf Lee Daniels’ Precious made for a heightened, melodramatic, and mostly satisfying expression of the external trials — poverty, an abusive mother, a runaway father — plaguing a New York City-based African-American teenager, then Dee Rees’ Pariah takes a similar … Continue reading
The Best Films of 2011
Posted on Monday, December 26, 2011 at 9:45 pm by Danny King in the Top Tens categoryIn terms of depth, the cinematic year of 2011 may have been somewhat slim — indeed, I noticed myself stretching just a bit when thinking of ten worthy honorable mentions — but, at the tip of the iceberg, it managed … Continue reading
Movie Review: ‘We Need to Talk About Kevin’ (2011)
Posted on Friday, December 23, 2011 at 8:36 pm by Danny King in the Reviews categoryWe Need to Talk About Kevin represents an immensely exciting piece of filmmaking from Lynne Ramsay (Morvern Callar, Ratcatcher). That might seem like an odd label for this adaptation of Lionel Shriver’s best-selling novel, considering the relentlessly harrowing subject matter … Continue reading
Movie Review: ‘In the Land of Blood and Honey’ (2011)
Posted on Friday, December 23, 2011 at 3:05 pm by Danny King in the Reviews categoryIn the Land of Blood and Honey marks a violent, promising directorial debut for mega-star Angelina Jolie. This is a hard-R look at a hopeful relationship that’s challenged to suffocating lengths against the backdrop of the Bosnian War. Danijel (Goran … Continue reading
Trailer for Ridley Scott’s ‘Prometheus’
Posted on Thursday, December 22, 2011 at 6:31 pm by Danny King in the Videos categoryDespite being an ardent admirer of Ridley Scott’s Alien, I haven’t been able to drum up much interest in his upcoming actioner, Prometheus. That’s partly because of Scott’s slag output as of late, but more so because I just don’t … Continue reading

Top Ten Most Anticipated Movies of 2012
Posted on Monday, December 19, 2011 at 1:35 am by Danny King in the Top Tens categoryWith the end of the semester in sight, I’ve been swamped with school work during the past few days — final-exam preparation, putting together final essays, etc. That’s why I haven’t posted anything since Thursday. But things will be back … Continue reading
