They honor achievements in Adapted Screenplays. District 9 is an adaptation of a short film. Right now, it's not an unlikely possibility. Last year they picked Benjamin Button, Iron Man, The Reader, Revolutionary Road, and gave it to Slumdog. The year before they picked Atonement, Into the Wild, Th...

Damn Josh, you have developed into such a wonderful and lively writer on film. You'd be like Pauline Kael had Kael ever evinced any intelligence. Gosh. That's quite a compliment. Thank you. You cite Vera Farmiga. Given that Rachel Weisz and Edith Scob have zero chance of being nominated, I'd be mor...

I feel bad for A Serious Man. It's not my favorite movie but it really deserves far better than this. I'd like to see Inglourious Basterds and District 9 again before I can claim to love or even like them. Right now I think they're both quality films, which is more than I can say for An Education o...

Just pointing out that the hyperbole around Cameron's film is not quite as big as some would like to think it is...

It/he is.

Spielberg still shits on Cameron as far as the popularity of his films go in North America. Adjusted, Cameron has only 2 films (soon to be 3) in the top 100 of all time (in today's dollars) Oh, calm down! Cameron's going to have three films in the all-time high-grossers club compared to Spielberg's...

/Where the Wild Things Are/ (dir. Spike Jonze) - 7.5/10

Third act still myopic, lacking.

/Where the Wild Things Are/ My ballot for Best Supporting Actor is split between two egomaniacal monsters: Christian McKay for Me and Orson Welles and James Gandolfini for Where the Wild Things Are. I'm still hoping that McKay makes a surprise showing at the Oscars because it's such a glorious show...

Good for Paul Schneider and the Coen Brothers. And Jeremy Renner, I guess.

I now know how the Dark Knight-haters on this board felt last year. And I like Avatar.

I don't know if I liked this movie more or less than I thought I would. I thought it was going to be a pretty conventional film about Ben Foster's illicit relationship with Samantha Morton, but it's not. It's about the soldier mentality, contrasting being of use abroad with being useless even while...

I have not dragged myself to see Debra Winger in Shadowlands just yet. It looks like such a chore. How much of a sure bet was Stockard Channing for a nomination? I agree with Damien that Channing is as devastating as Hunter in a less showy role, but Holly Hunter's performance is just so iconic. Is ...
