PGA Awards ‘Artist,’ ‘Beats,’ ‘Tintin’
The Producers Guild of America (PGA) announced their three winners today and, in the biggest category of them all, The Artist banked another key victory en route to its all-but-sealed Best Picture Oscar. I still think there’s the slimmest chance … Continue reading
Recapping the Largely Uneventful Golden Globes: A Toned-Down Gervais Still the Highlight
When Ricky Gervais is on auto-pilot mode and he’s still the most watchable element of the Golden Globes, then you know it was a rocky broadcast. (“Rocky” meaning, well, boring.) Alright, maybe he wasn’t the absolute best part. Sidney Poitier’s … 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

‘The Artist,’ ‘Moneyball,’ ‘Tree of Life’ Earn Multiple Citations from NYFCC
As irksome as the New York Film Critics Circle’s desire to shoot the first bullet of this year’s awards season often was — they didn’t even bother to see Stephen Daldry’s Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close prior to the vote … Continue reading

Movie Review: ‘The Artist’ (2011)
One of the more discussion-piquing results of contemporary cinema’s ever-increasing implementation of technological advancements is the way these innovations can often distort the essential quality of a film. James Cameron’s Avatar is a perfectly applicable and illustrative, if over-referenced, example … Continue reading
Diving into the Parodic World of ‘OSS 177′
Yesterday morning, on a semi-whim — ever since seeing The Artist, I’d been meaning to dive into the earlier work of the director-star combo of Michel Hazanavicius and Jean Dujardin, and this recent tip-off from Brad Brevet provided the necessary … Continue reading
Oscar Predictions: ‘J. Edgar’ Opens to Intriguingly Cryptic Response
