Follow the Car
After watching the underwhelming Golden Globes telecast, I naturally turned to what’s been a major constant for me this season: Bennett Miller’s Moneyball. No, Brad Pitt didn’t win Best Actor, and no, the Aaron Sorkin-Steven Zaillian duo didn’t take home … Continue reading
Polanski’s Landmark ‘Chinatown’ Will Finally Hit Blu-ray in April
Forget the film’s lousy, toothless script for a moment — perhaps the main reason I was so disappointed by Roman Polanski’s Carnage is because it was a frustrating shocker of a letdown to see the directorial voice of Chinatown, one … Continue reading
DGA Surprises, Nominates Allen, Fincher
Well, at least Tate Taylor didn’t get in. I’ll take David Fincher — even so-so Fincher, like The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo — over the soap-brand flavoring of The Help any day of the week. That said, there were … Continue reading
Extended Trailer for David Fincher’s ‘The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo’
My anticipation for David Fincher’s The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo has already hit a fever pitch, largely because I consider the director’s earlier work in the crime genre — namely Seven and Zodiac — to be two of the … Continue reading

Three Decades of Brad Pitt
I was glancing through some of the early TIFF reactions to Bennett Miller’s Moneyball — most of which were positive, by the way — and it really got me thinking about how interesting Brad Pitt’s choices as an actor tend … Continue reading

2011 Oscars: Recap
Note: I went 16/24 on my predictions. Sunday night’s Academy Awards ran just a hair over three hours, and that was one of the evening’s few pleasant surprises. Others included Billy Crystal, whose brief commemoration of Bob Hope was one … Continue reading

Golden Globes 2011: Recap
Last night’s Golden Globe Awards was an exercise in predictability, at least with respect to the 14 film categories I predicted — the only one I didn’t foresee accurately was a win for Susanne Bier’s In a Better World, though … Continue reading

Oscar Predictions: Critics Awards Beginning to Surface
It’s been quite a while since I last updated my Oscar predictions. As I’ve mentioned, the fall months of a senior year in high school can be rather hectic, but I’ve found some time here and I really want to … Continue reading
