For Your Consideration 2013: Labor Day

As far as “Labor Day” goes, I’ve heard literally nothing about the film. With a late start date and no reviews surfacing yet, the only thing we have to go on is those involved their history with the Oscars. Director Jason Reitman has been to Oscars twice with four total nominations between “Juno” and “Up In The Air”.

For Your Consideration 2013: Nebraska

Alexander Payne has won 2 Oscars for his writing work (“Sideways” & “The Descendants”). His latest film, “Nebraska”, it does not appear that he has had any hand in the writing, which could fail to grab this film a nomination for writing. That being said, Bruce Dern’s performance is being raved about from the few critics that have seen it. Being apart of Cannes … Read More For Your Consideration 2013: Nebraska

For Your Consideration 2012: Not Fade Away

Although I have not yet seen this film, I am fairly certain it will not gain enough traction by awards season.

Look at Demian Bichir in “A Better Life”, nominated for Best Actor last year. … Read More For Your Consideration 2012: Not Fade Away

Movie Review: The Dictator (2012)

THE DICTATOR BY CHRISTOPHER HASKELLMAY 20, 2012 Sacha Baron Cohen continues to coin his unique brand of comedy. Yet why wasn’t I laughing? “The Dictator” takes a step away from Cohen’s typical shockumentary formula and becomes a fully realized cinematic story with no natural elements. With that step, Cohen loses me completely, creating a political satire on the state of our world and the … Read More Movie Review: The Dictator (2012)
