TWO-SENTENCE REVIEW: Although Darren Aronofsky's biblical epic has been shrouded with controversy, the visionary director was able to walk a very thin line to please both the religious and the regular movie goer. Bolstered by strong performances by the entire cast, strong visuals, and a filled out script, "Noah" may be one of the better biblical…
SPOILER! If you haven't watched this week's episode of The Good Wife stop now! Seriously. MVP: Josh Charles Television has hit an odd age. It's not the Golden Age of television that we hear so often, but the "Dark Ages" (I came up with that one). This year alone we have experienced countless…
Who will take the top prize in Hollywood? Find out tonight on the 86th Academy Awards I will be live blogging my reactions to the 86th Academy Awards. Refresh this page for my latest thoughts (and frustrations) on winners, the ceremony, and all things Oscar. Check out my predictions here to…
"The Great Beauty" is the frontrunner for Best Foreign Language film I feel really bad about this category. Not because it's a weak category, or because there is a lack of competition. Mostly because I haven't watched the majority of the nominees. Either way, I must trudge on and attempt to…
Will "Inside Llewyn Davis" follow in the footsteps of musical films like "Les Miserables" and "Dreamgirls" and win Best Sound Mixing? This category is pretty much locked up. "Gravity" probably will and deserves to win. Even I, a complete idiot when it comes to sound design, can tell that the sound mixing is…
Will the Academy spread the love and award "Captain Phillips"? I am no expert in Sound Design, but I see an upset brewing in this category. "Gravity" is expected to sweep 6-7 awards, possibly up to 8 if it wins Best Picture. However, I think that "Captain Phillips" has a good chance…
Could a film with "Jackass" in the title actually win an Oscar? This is an interesting category. All the nominees are very understated, but there is one that stands out. Usually the general rule of thumb is if you're nominated for Best Picture, then you have an advantage in any given…
There is no way "Gravity" is losing this award. I'm going to keep this short and sweet: if "Gravity" loses, it will be the single greatest upset in the history of the Academy Awards. Check out the rest of my Oscar predictions here! Will Win: "Gravity" Could Win: Hehe... no Should Win: That movie…
The high production value of the recreated 1920s sets of "The Great Gatsby" could be the spoiler in this tight race. Part of my reasoning for my prediction in this category is my confidence, or at least until recently, in the Best Picture category. If "12 Years a Slave" wins Best…
Will Roger Deakins finally lose his title as Oscars biggest loser in the Best Cinematography category? I think that many pundits are overestimated that lock that Emmanuel Lubezki for "Gravity" is in this race. While I agree that he is pretty much the frontrunner, I do think that there is room for an…
