The Inbox (Mar. 1-7, 2014)

Every week, I get several press releases, screening invitations and other notifications from a handful of studio contacts. While I won't be sharing any information regarding my screening invites, some of the press releases might be of interest to my readers, so I thought I'd start sharing them in toto with all of you. These could include new image galleries for various films or important updates to upcoming releases from various smaller studios and art house production companies.

Film Preview: Shirin in Love (2014)

Poster


Trailer Link

Release Date:

March 14, 2014

Synopsis:

From IMDb: "Love has no borders and therein lies the premise of the charming, new Iranian-American romantic comedy "Shirin in Love." Nazanin Boniadi plays Shirin, an absent-minded, young Iranian-American living in "Tehrangeles" (the large Iranian community in Los Angeles) with her overbearing mother and empathetic father. Despite being engaged for years to a successful Iranian plastic surgeon in Beverly Hills, Shirin finds herself breaking loyalty and tradition when she falls in love with a mysterious young man who lives in a lighthouse in northern California. As her secret unravels and cultures clash, Shirin discovers what it ultimately means to be true to herself."

Poster: C+

Review: A neat concept of a poster, though it tells a different story than the trailer does. Once you see the trailer, the reflective concept makes a different kind of sense, which may be a bit misleading.

Trailer: C-

Review: A confusing, convoluted trailer for a film with a relatively simple premise. I'm not sure why making a trailer that takes half its running time trying to make things hard to follow is a wise decision.

Oscar Prospects:

None.

Film Preview: Le Week-End (2014)

Poster

Additional posters can be found below.

Trailer Link

Release Date:

March 14, 2014

Synopsis:

From IMDb: "A British couple return to Paris many years after their honeymoon there in an attempt to rejuvenate their marriage."

Poster: C+ / C- / C+

Review: There differing designs that are equally unimpressive. The first is more traditional, the third is more inventive and the middle one is more bland and unoriginal. Neither will do a particularly good job selling the film.

Trailer: B-

Review: There are some amusing elements in the trailer and I'd like to say that having a charming cast will make the film better, but as the trailer progresses, you have to guess that a lot of old romantic chestnuts about aging marriages will be trotted out without giving the audience something new or insightful.

Oscar Prospects:

None.

Film Preview: The Art of the Steal (2014)

Poster


Trailer Link

Release Date:

March 14, 2014

Synopsis:

From IMDb: "A third-rate motorcycle daredevil and part-time art thief teams up with his snaky brother to steal one of the most valuable books in the world."

Poster: D

Review: A bland, unoriginal design showing off the actors in poses that aren't very inspiring and definitely not very exciting.

Trailer: C+

Review: You've seen it before. MANY times. The need to rehash the same plot with only modest new twists seems unnecessary, yet here it is. That's not to say that the trailer doesn't present some charming bits of humor and some fun actors, but will anyone really care to see yet another retread of Oceans 11?

Oscar Prospects:

None.

Film Preview: Under the Skin (2014)

Poster


Trailer Link

Release Date:

April 4, 2014

Synopsis:

From IMDb: "An alien seductress preys upon hitchhikers in Scotland."

Poster: C+

Review: I would say that it's uninteresting, but it doesn't seem to be all that enthused with selling tickets either.

Trailer: C+

Review: This confusing mess of a trailer tries to establish itself as some sort of twisted story with an unusual premise, but you cannot figure out what's going on and by the end, you aren't quite sure if you care.

Oscar Prospects:

There may be some push for a nomination for Scarlett Johansson, but I doubt it.

Oscar in Box Office History (Week 10, 2014)

Every week, we'll take a look back 5, 10, 15, 20, 25 and 30 years into the box office past to explore how Oscar's nominees were doing at the box office that weekend historically. All data is taken from Box Office Mojo. The first section under each year is the positioning of all Oscar nominees during that weekend at the box office. The second section is an alphabetical list of those films and the categories in which they were nominated. And to start each week off, we'll be looking at the films releasing over the weekend that have the best chance of getting Oscar nominations and specifying the categories where we think they have the best chance at this stage of the game. Please let us know if you like our new feature or if you want to see more information and we'll see what we can do!

The NEW Friday Face-Off #31

We started over at the beginning of August 2013, but with a new, more streamlined methodology to collecting votes. Just choose one selection in each of the ten categories below. Our first few weeks will be to select winners in cases of ties or in years where multiple categories existed for each discipline. After that, we'll go into the full face-off contest where each winner will then move on to a second round to face off against others.

Here is this week's ten face-offs. So, let's get started.
