So as everyone among the film community know, it is Oscar time babyyyyy!!! So that means get ready for some of the biggest upsets, wins, and probably tearful moments of the year. It was a great year in the film, and this is what has all come down to it people. The big night, and here are my predictions, I hope I do well.…

Hello to the 4 people that are going to read this blog. I just thought I'd participate in the tradition of putting my opinion on the internet. In this blog, I'm going to reveal my predictions for the Academy Awards.

 

The films that are bolded are the films I believe will win the award.

The films that are underlined are the films I would pick if I was giving out…

10. The Fighter

Since the plot of The Fighter is, admittedly, nothing earth-shattering for the genre, the two elements of this film that cause it to stand out are the stellar performances from the entire cast and the authentic sense of place.…

Hey guys! Long time no see!



First off, I know that it’s been a long time since I’ve posted anything on here, and I am also filly aware of the fact that this list may seem kind of late due to the fact that the major portion of award season is already underway. However, this is a list that I have been wanting to do for quite a while, and I have seeing as many films as I can to make it a great one to post it up.



Secondly, I’d like to point that while I have seen quite a bit… Continue

Hello and welcome to another review, this time we'll be having a look at the critically acclaimed Black Swan; the most recent venture of Darren Aronofsky. 

 

 

An opening word- I fucking love Darren Aronofsky.  Everything the man touches gold.  A good artsy/philosophical movie is always enjoyable.  Aaaand on with the…

Alright 2010 is just about over, and since everyone else is doing it, I might as well make a Top Ten list of my personal favorite movies of 2010. Now, while I haven't seen everything this year, this list is based on the movies I enjoyed the most this year atleast from what I've seen this year. So enough rambling, let's get started

Well, another year is reaching its end, and I think now marks a good opportunity to reflect on the great bounty that the cinematic realm has brought us, the viewers who keep the medium alive. Now, as I am not a professional critic (though I may some day be- let's see how the rest of University plays out), it would be highly pompous and egotistical for me to call my top 10 the end-all, be-all of top 10 lists this year. Heck, there are still several films this year that I still wish to see,…

Has anyone else noticed all of the critical darlings this year? Do they look like they have anything in common? Well, to me it seems like 2010 was a great year for young Hollywood!

Let's start off with the most critically praised movie of the year "The Social Network." It's a film dominated by young actor's, most of which are still under 30. It's starting off to be a favorite for best picture at the Oscars, plus a well deserved best actor nod for Jesse…

Well, its that time again when I swarm all you innocent civilians with my thoughts and inputs on what's going on in the world of music, movies, television, and gaming. I am not sure why I said 'again' since this is my first attempt at a podcast through spill.com. Just FYI it will also be posted on my private blog as well, which I will not advertise here for courtesy reasons.

In any case, it is a little rugged around the edges as my mic is not the best and also my programs kept…

So browsing through IMDB, the front page had a very interesting list from Hitflix detailing 19 directors who could very well be nominated for an Academy Award this year. Their front page describes 2010 as the "year of the auteur", and who could blame them? This has been a year chock full of long-in-the-making pet projects from several of these directors. Some of which are works of love, others have proven to be… Continue

I was on IMPAwards (Internet Movie Poster Awards) and found a (what I am guessing official, as they don't upload unofficial ones) poster for the new Twilight movie "New Moon".



The poster Features...

Kristen Stewart who plays Bella Swan

Robert Pattinson who plays Edward Cullen

and

Taylor Lautner who plays Jacob Black

In the lead-up to this movie's release, I often wondered what the big deal was all about. Now that I've seen the movie (and looked into the source material), I'm still not clear on what makes this poorly written schlock so appealing. I mean, I know that teenage girls often go for older guys, but to even think that a 108 yr. old has never truly been in love before you came along would make you one of the most egotistical idiots on the face of the planet.



I won't bother going into how… Continue
