Oscars 2012
After some much-needed help from the Best Picture Showcase, I am finally ready to make my selections from the Oscar ballot. It should be noted, that although I made a valiant effort I still haven’t seen all the films I would have liked to. That being said, I will note in each category the films that I have not seen and, therefore, cannot fairly judge. Also, even though I am tempted to do so,...

Best Picture Showcase, Day Two
Second round of Best Picture nominees is over. Time for me to weigh in, and later today I’ll post my selections from the Oscar ballot. Hugo (Martin Scorsese): This is 3D technology as it should be used. Not as a cheap visual thrill (*ahem* James Cameron) or an excuse to re-release older films (*ahem* George Lucas AND James Cameron), but as a means of deepening the film’s...

Best Picture Showcase, Day One
Just got back from the first day of AMC’s Best Picture Showcase, and instead of writing tedious reviews for each of the films, I’m just going to write a quick blurb about each one. I’ll do the same thing next week and post my personal Oscar winners before the ceremony next Sunday. Let’s get to work… War Horse (Steven Spielberg): Already seen it, already loved it, but...

Why Choose This...
hitchedat22: When you could have THIS? Why does it matter?! Do I like my big collection of physical books? Absolutely. Do I also enjoy the collection of books I have on my Kindle? Definitely.

2011 in Review
It’s that time again, time for me to look back on my favorite films of 2011. These films don’t earn their slots on this list because they are universally praised (some on this list weren’t). I chose these films because they were the ones I enjoyed the most at the theater this year. I haven’t ranked these films in any particular order (though I do have a single favorite film...
