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

‘Midnight in Paris’ Headlines Quentin Tarantino’s Top 11 of 2011
Quentin Tarantino’s annual assortment of the year’s best films has arrived online today, and the number-three slotting of Moneyball — as well as a Best Director mention for Bennett Miller — obviously earned my affection with ease. I’m less on … 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
‘Dragon Tattoo,’ ‘Young Adult’ Slide in with the WGA
In the wake of the PGA nominations announced yesterday, the Writers Guild of America has spoken up with their correlation of Original, Adapted, and Documentary Screenplay nominees. The flood of ineligibilities — The Artist, a conceivable Best Original Screenplay frontrunner … Continue reading
The Best Films of 2011
In 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

Oscar Predictions: ‘J. Edgar’ Opens to Intriguingly Cryptic Response

Movie Review: Higher Ground (2011)
Films like Vera Farmiga’s Higher Ground just aren’t made that often these days. It’s a real thought-provoker, for one thing, and its subject matter — the religious trajectory of a woman from childhood to adulthood — isn’t one that studios … Continue reading
Oscar Predictions: Diving in Before the Festivals

First-Half Contenders: Terrence Malick’s ‘The Tree of Life’
While Woody Allen’s Midnight in Paris — whose Oscar prospects I delved into just the other day — may be a more consensus critical favorite than The Tree of Life, Terrence Malick’s film is without a doubt the more polarizing … Continue reading
