Quick Review: The Monuments Men (2014)

by

THE MONUMENTS MEN BY CHRISTOPHER HASKELLMAY 17, 2014 On the surface, “The Monuments Men” looks like an Oscar-worthy World War II drama. Directed by George Clooney, he has already proven to be a successful director on previous films like “Confessions Of A Dangerous Mind,” “The Ides Of March,” and the Academy Award-nominated “Good Night, and Good Luck.” Along with an impressive ensemble cast, including … Read More Quick Review: The Monuments Men (2014)

Quick Review: Gravity (2013)

by

GRAVITY BY CHRISTOPHER HASKELLOCTOBER 19, 2013 “Gravity” is many things, all of which are outstanding. “Gravity” is the best use of 3D to date, dealing on a layer of superb cinematography and directorial forethought to allow for things such as an extremely long take to open the film. “Gravity” produces the best performance of Sandra Bullock’s career, as Dr. Ryan Stone, a doctor and … Read More Quick Review: Gravity (2013)

Quick Review: Confessions Of A Dangerous Mind (2003)

by

CONFESSIONS OF A DANGEROUS MIND BY CHRISTOPHER HASKELLSEPTEMBER 7, 2013 Sam Rockwell has a way with flawed anti-heroes, and his performance in “Confessions of a Dangerous Mind” is a prime example of that. Directed by and starring George Clooney, “Confessions” follows the autobiographical (and somewhat contested) true-to-life story of Chuck Barris, best known for developing the concept for The Dating Game and The Newlywed … Read More Quick Review: Confessions Of A Dangerous Mind (2003)

2012 Oscars Challenge: [39] The Ides Of March & Adapted Screenplay

by

[7 OUT OF 46 FILMS REMAINING]-[6 DAYS TO OSCARS] “The Ides Of March” gaining this nomination was enough of an honor, being one of my favorite films of 2011. In my opinion, this is the most well-rounded category compared to any other this year at the Academy Awards. It is unlikely “Ides” will win over “The Descendants” or “Moneyball”, but the competition in this … Read More 2012 Oscars Challenge: [39] The Ides Of March & Adapted Screenplay

[11 OUT OF 46 FILMS REMAINING]-[9 DAYS TO OSCARS] As much as I loved this film, I just do not see it beating out “The Artist”. Though it is positioned just right to win the Best Picture category, with all the major awards at its fingertips (Best Directing, Best Actor in a Leading Role, and Best Adapted Screenplay) if any film were to upset … Read More 2012 Oscars Challenge: [35] The Descendants & 5 Nominations

Movie Review: The Ides Of March (2011)

by

THE IDES OF MARCH BY CHRISTOPHER HASKELLJANUARY 22, 2012 Talk to me about primaries, polls, and politics, and I will respond to you with a blank stare. However, divulge that Senators are making backhanded deals, Governors are exploiting their power, and journalists are blackmailing affiliates, and I will engage in the conversation. “The Ides Of March” does just that and is one of the … Read More Movie Review: The Ides Of March (2011)

For Your Consideration 2011: “The Descendants”

by

Every year there are films that simply scream Academy Awards. Though I have yet to see this one, “The Descendants” looks to epitomize what an Oscar nominated film is made of. George Clooney alone is practically locked as a nomination for Best Actor. Also, the screenplay should just about be locked as well, with such an original and passionate story. I would even go … Read More For Your Consideration 2011: “The Descendants”

For Your Consideration 2011: “The Ides of March”

by

One of my favorite films of the year (thus far), there is no surprise that “The Ides of March” is being considered for all categories of the Academy Awards. I have a strong feeling that this might be Ryan Gosling’s year, if not to win an Oscar than to at least be nominated. Having George Clooney star and direct may give Clooney an edge … Read More For Your Consideration 2011: “The Ides of March”
