Will These Women Ever Win Oscars?
:: The Playlist :: —
Authority: 701
Continuing in our series of actors who have been nominated for an acting Academy Award but have never won, it’s now the ladies’ turn. Of course, had we done this a year before, Kate Winslet would have been the obvious standout, losing five times before finally winning last year for “The Reader.” Now that she ...6 days ago -
30 Days of Christmas: Modern Classics...
My Life, Made Possible By Pop Culture... —
Authority: 135
I spoke earlier of my love of all movies airport, and that extends much further than just kids running loose in an airport. In fact, it is probably what immediately endeared me to todays (first) Modern Classic pick: Love Actually . But the meet-cute gimmick location was just a quick entry to an extremely well put ...1 week ago -

2005 was the year of Heath Ledger’s beautiful, moving performance in “Brokeback Mountain,” which I saw for the first time in Toronto. It instantly became the talk of the festival, and the film became the one to beat for the Academy Award. Ledger was astonishing as the taciturn cowboy who is more surprised ...1 week ago -

The Great Performances: 2004

In Alexander Payne’s “Sideways,” Paul Giamatti gave the best performance by an actor in 2004, so said the New York Film Critics Circle, and how right they were. So why, why, why was the actor denied an Oscar nomination? Granted, it was a strong year, but his work was at the top of that heap and that snub ...2 weeks ago -

( If you haven’t already, please be sure to check out Filmmaker Reflections - The 2000s: Vol. 1 for a series explanation and to read the first batch of reflections.) Filmmaker Reflections - The 2000s: Vol. 2 It’s hard for me to think of any other than recent movies to reflect on, so how about a film ...2 weeks ago -

My (and only my) best movies of the decade: The 2007 edition
Reel Fanatic —
Authority: 122
Before I get into any of that, it seems there may actually be a good baseball movie in the works, an increasing rarity thats certainly reason to rejoice. Michael Lewis "Moneyball: The Art of Winning an Unfair Game" has already had more than a bit of a tortured past. Steven Soderbergh had been attached to direct the ...3 weeks ago -

There is little doubt in my mind I am going to take some heat this week, so let’s kick it off right away with my belief that Sean Penn deserved his Best Actor Oscar for “Mystic River,” a performance of overwhelming ferocity and staggering emotional power. Yes, I too loved Bill Murray in “Lost in ...3 weeks ago -
My (and only my) best movies of the decade: The 2005 edition
Reel Fanatic —
Authority: 122
Its kind of amazing (at least to me) and - depending on how you look at it - perhaps kind of depressing that Ive been actually been doing this since 2005, but I still like writing it and I hope at least a few people enjoy reading it. So I, of course, did a Top 10 for that year at the time, but have decided not to ...3 weeks ago -

Authority: 146
Here’s something I’ll bet a lot of you wouldn’t have guessed: once upon a time, when my pants were short and my South African accent heavy, I was a very good Oscar pundit. I won every pool going. I beat the lame TV critics’ guesses and laughed in their televised faces. When that got old, I entered a radio ...3 weeks ago -

Movieline went and was awesome again and posted the complete Sundance lineup for this January. And I should preface this by saying that I generally end up loving a lot of Sundance movies, and if you follow that link you can see the actors/directors/writers associated with the movies, who go a long way towards making ...3 weeks ago -
"The Chapstick Prophecies" or "The Mothman Slummeth"
A Talent for Idleness —
Authority: 106
A recent Twitter conversation reminded me that it’s lip balm season in the upper Midwest, which naturally got me thinking about one of the great moments of unintentional movie comedy in the past decade. The Mothman Prophecies is a justly forgotten 2002 supernatural thriller based on the allegedly true story of a ...3 weeks ago -

Monday: Heroes When the dust settles and Heroes gets rightfully canceled (expect this to happen in the spring), it will be remembered as the Creed to Lost s Pearl Jam; this is a show that has degenerated so quickly into tedium, we find it hard to imagine Heroes was ever taken seriously by the geek sect. Weve ...5 weeks ago
