5 Favorites #56: 5 Favorite Child Actors
Every week, we’ll pose a new “five favorites” question. You just list your five favorites that fit in that category (preferably in preference order) and you’re welcome to discuss and debate the selections and see just how much you do or do not have in common with others. If you want to take a look…

The DVD Report #234
New This Week Not since Steel Magnolias more than twenty years ago has there been a film in which the women are all strong and the men, for the most part, all weak as in The Help. Maybe it’s a Southern thing as both films are set in the Deep South. Granted, the main thrust…

Precursor: 17th Broadcast Film Critics Nominations (2011)
The Broadcast Film Critics Association, who call themselves the “Critics’ Choice” despite only representing a fraction of working critics, have announced their annual Oscar predictions…I mean award nominations. As expected, The Artist, Hugo and The Help were among the most nominated with Drive doing much better than I would have expected from this group. Each…

Precursor: 16th San Diego Film Critics Society Nominations (2011)
Although the San Diego critics have been giving out awards for sixteen years now, their first nomination set was revealed only in 2010, which means we have no way of knowing their impact. The Artist continues its dominance and Drive is showing surprising resilience. In addition to the nominees and/or winners listed below, this year,…

Precursor: 3rd Indiana Film Critics (2011)
Not much can be said about this group whose two prior years have barely given us enough information to know much of anything except that their director and foreign film choices in the past haven’t been Oscar nominees. They are at least going to break their dismal record in Best Director this year, though Paul…

Trailer Watch: Titanic (3D re-release)
You’d be surprised how good it actually looks. I don’t remember how many times I saw it originally in the theater (enough to feel a bit fanboyish), but that just suggests that I’ll have no qualms about seeing it again in the theater. Titanic (3D re-release) Plot Summary: In time for the 100th anniversary of…

The Morning After: December 12, 2011
Welcome to The Morning After, where I share with you what I’ve seen over the past week either in film or television. On the film side, if I have written a full length review already, I will post a link to that review. Otherwise, I’ll give a brief snippet of my thoughts on the film…

Precursor: 10th San Francisco Film Critics (2011)
The Tree of Life was the big winner with the San Francisco critics and Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy managed to enter the game as did Vanessa Redgrave for Coriolanus. In addition to the nominees and/or winners listed below, this year, we’re giving you a quick background on each individual precursor including founding year, first awards…

Precursor: 5th Houston Film Critics Society Nominations (2011)
Another big group going for The Artist which picked up seven nominations, two more than its nearest competitor. This is also the first sighting of Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close, which could be a fluke or the start of a trend (after all, it was screened late for critics). In addition to the nominees and/or…

Precursor: 5th Detroit Film Critics Society Nominations (2011)
Taking more than just a place to hole up against the weather, Take Shelter takes a surprising lead in the Detroit critics nominations. The Artist and The Help had strong tallies as well while The Descendants is proving to be the best film of the year whose director isn’t thought of as such. In addition…

Precursor: 10th New York Online Film Critics (2011)
The New York Online Film Critics have also embraced The Artist this year and gave it three prizes while Bridesmaids picks up two by itself and Take Shelter and The Tree of Life both earn two, but one they each earned for supporting actress Jessica Chastain, who appeared in both films, picking up the breakthrough…

Precursor: 11th American Film Institute List (2011)
The American Film Institute has chosen its annual list of the ten best American films of the year. In years past, they have had varying success at getting Oscar nominations with a record 9 of 10 last year, but considering how many prominent foreign films are in competition this year, that number is sure to…
