Much like Precious: Based on the Novel Push by Sapphire, Samson & Delilah proves to be an endurance test in misery due to poverty and marginalization. That is not to say that the journey is not worth taking. It is. The naturalistic presence of non-actors, Rowan ...

Nice nod to Greg Toland’s legendary lensing. If we haven’t assessed Dion Beebe chances to win his second Oscar for Best Cinematography, it’s probably high time we start.

Click the Taji’s close-up to consider his thoughts on the Thanksgiving Food Chain . This little storyboard might be a metaphor for Oscar season. The squirrel represents bloggers, Taji portrays studio execs, and the nuggets of corn are press junkets.

David Ansen at Newsweek has put out his first review of Clint Eastwood Invictus, a film I think is one of the best of 2009. We were under embargo but since Ansen has already published his review, I do believe all bets are off. For me, it’s all good. I have a feeling that the way ...

The Gurus of Gold have laid it down after screening many of the Oscar contenders — most of them have seen Nine, Invictus, Up in the Air — most have not seen The Lovely Bones nor Avatar. Interestingly, Anne Thompson sped Invictus right to number one. It is impossible, I can tell you, ...

I was invited by the kindly folks at Disney to catch The Princess and the Frog at Disney studios for their new movie and event. If you’ve never been to one of these, they generally have them at the El Capitan in Hollywood, charge a pretty penny for your kids to see the movie and then ...

It’s all happening! The awards season is finally off. Next week, the National Board of Review will announce their winners and the films that they name will have an automatic head start. Does that mean they’ll be a close match with Oscar? Probably not. With five Best Pic ...

During the 60’s, 70’s and 80’s Argentina endured a multitude of military coups d’état (minus the short Perón period that lasted a few months in 1973-1974). Under the stronghold of the military junta, corruption was rife, no more so than in the ...

Maybe not as artfully stark as the pair of monochrome teasers we saw in September, and there’s probably more color popping in these two posters than there is in the entire metallic-palette movie. But this isn’t the yellow of a VW van. It’s jaundice. ...

Pressing things right to the line is Lee Daniels’ controversial film, Precious. The New York Times’ Felicia Lee has written a fair-minded (in my lily-white opinion) account of both sides. There is Armond White on one side, Oprah on the other, and a whole bunch of people with ...
