Posted on January 25, 2011 by | Leave a comment

Let’s just get this out of the way up front: Great job, Academy ! That the AMPAS found room for everything from Winter’s Bone to Toy Story 3 to the ferocious performance given by Movieline favorite Jacki Weaver means they deserve a bit of kudos. (If you’re one of those, “Yawn, I’m too cool for the Oscars!” people, just go back to bed today.) Of course that doesn’t mean many, many deserving nominees were left out in the cold this morning. Ahead, the six biggest from the major categories.

DVD: Twelve Keeps the Our-Youth-Are-Doomed Genre Alive

Posted on December 29, 2010 by | Leave a comment

You’ve probably heard this quote from eighth century BC philosopher Hesiod in some high school valedictorian’s speech: “I see no hope for the future of our people if they are dependent on frivolous youth of today, for certainly all youth are reckless beyond words… When I was young, we were taught to be discreet and respectful of elders, but the present youth are exceedingly [disrespectful] and impatient of restraint.” And so it goes, with each generation bemoaning the horrors of the new brats snapping at their heels.

Broadway Stars Not Very Pleased with Julie Taymor’s ‘Steaming Pile of Actor Crippling Sh*t’

Posted on December 22, 2010 by | Comments Off on Broadway Stars Not Very Pleased with Julie Taymor’s ‘Steaming Pile of Actor Crippling Sh*t’

Wondering what other Broadway actors think of the rash of injuries that have occurred during preview performances of Julie Taymor’s seemingly cursed Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark ? “They should put Julie Taymor in jail for assault!” wrote Rent star Adam Pascal on his Facebook page. “I know what its like to fall and get hurt in front of 2,000 people. It’s no fun, but at least it was the one time it happened. I hope whoever was hurt is ok and sues the sh*t out of Julie, Bono, Edge and every other a*shole who invested in that steaming pile of actor crippling sh*t!” Well, then.

Oscar Index: When SAG Things Happen to Good Actors

Posted on December 22, 2010 by | Comments Off on Oscar Index: When SAG Things Happen to Good Actors

Three months down, one to go as Movieline’s redoubtable Oscar Index tracks the cutthroat dynamics, strategies, tea-leaf analyses and total flukes leading up to the 83rd Academy Award nominations. This week’s SAG Award nominations and continued critics prizes led to an blippy array of movements, with most occurring (perhaps obviously) in the increasingly competitive actors categories. Let’s break it down.

Ryan Gosling on Blue Valentine, Bleeding Nipples and No Longer Being a Pornographer

Posted on December 10, 2010 by | Comments Off on Ryan Gosling on Blue Valentine, Bleeding Nipples and No Longer Being a Pornographer

The Blue Valentine awards show freight train pulled into the Kips Bay AMC in New York City on Thursday night and the perpetually stoic stars of the film, Ryan Gosling and Michelle Williams, got downright hysterical. In the span of just ten minutes the prettier-than-thou duo were retelling stories of nipple bleeding, the recent overturn of their film’s controversial rating and the rumored trysts of Marilyn Monroe. Are these two joking their way to (deserved) Oscar nominations?

REVIEW: True Love (and Good Filmmaking) Goes Awry in All Good Things

Posted on December 2, 2010 by | Comments Off on REVIEW: True Love (and Good Filmmaking) Goes Awry in All Good Things

All Good Things , Andrew Jarecki’s feature follow-up to his dark family scrapbook Capturing the Friedmans , has got a whopper story, two magnetic leads, and a killer case of the directorial bends. Where Friedmans , a documentary, derived athletic momentum from its balance of gold mine material and Jarecki’s skillful dedication to ambiguity, All Good Things seems to cast around inside its story of a rebel heir and the bluebloody tragedy his life becomes. It tries on this angle and that tempo, but never finds a confident design for its content or its characters. I want to say it’s the kind of thing a director can miss by a millimeter, but Jarecki’s telling of the Robert Durst story flails too far off course, too often, to retain the viewer’s good faith.
