2015 Oscars Challenge: [12] The Grand Budapest Hotel – Best Picture

by

“The Grand Budapest Hotel” is like your favorite rock band. You probably started off going to their shows at intimate venues with hardly any crowds and the next thing you know, they’re selling out the Staples Center and winning Grammys. Everyone is listening to them now and tickets that used to cost $10-$20 are more like $80-$100 or more. That’s what I feel like … Read More 2015 Oscars Challenge: [12] The Grand Budapest Hotel – Best Picture

Some love for “American Sniper” late in the game from Denver, with a Best Picture win and a tied win for Best Actor. The rest is pretty much by the book at this point. Here is the official list for the Denver Film Critics Society Awards: Best Picture: “American Sniper” Best Director: Richard Linklater, “Boyhood” Best Actor: (tie) Ralph Fiennes, “The Grand Budapest Hotel,” … Read More Oscars Watch: 2014 Denver Film Critics Society Awards

Oscars Watch: 2014 Indiana Film Critics Association Awards

by

The big question everyone is asking is: “can Boyhood win when it counts?” which is at the Oscars. Yes, it has been cleaning up through the film critics awards, but they love their independent darlings. Oscar, on the hand, is a mixed bag. Personally, I am hoping for a “Birdman” win on the big night, but most people that I know are in the … Read More Oscars Watch: 2014 Indiana Film Critics Association Awards

Movie Review: The Invisible Woman (2013)

by

THE INVISIBLE WOMAN BY CHRISTOPHER HASKELLMARCH 4, 2014 Charles Dickens was a selfish man. “The Invisible Woman” depicts his true story courting of his mistress Ellen “Nelly” Ternan in 1857 while still married to his wife Catherine. With twenty-seven years separating the two of them, the film depicts the relationship as heavily one-sided, placing Ellen in the predicament of always being the “other” woman, … Read More Movie Review: The Invisible Woman (2013)

2014 Oscars Challenge: [23] The Invisible Woman – One Nomination

by

Michael O’Connor To be completely honest, I was surprised to see “The Invisible Woman” get any nominations. Not because it isn’t good, because it really is, but because of the competition this year. An unheard of film directed by and starring Ralph Fiennes sees Charles Dickens and the story behind he and his much younger mistress, played by one of my favorites, Felicity Jones. … Read More 2014 Oscars Challenge: [23] The Invisible Woman – One Nomination

Ralph Fiennes plays brooding lead man Michael Berg, whose thoughtful performance bookends the film, as the rest of the story is told through flashbacks of his life, … Read More Quick Review: The Reader (2008)

Movie Review: Great Expectations (2013)

by

GREAT EXPECTATIONS (2013) BY CHRISTOPHER HASKELLNOVEMBER 24, 2013 Truth must be faced when dealing with an age-old tale like “Great Expectations,” you cannot change Charles Dickens. No matter how much you want to make a current adaptation or a period piece that expands on the 1860’s novel, if you were to tamper with the material, you would face a backlash that you’d never escape. … Read More Movie Review: Great Expectations (2013)

New Trailer: Skyfall – Official Trailer #1

by

SKYFALL / Punchy and erotic, the newest 007 trailer gives very little away while remaining completely action-packed and visually stunning. Though probably not as theatrically sound as last year’s Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol, Skyfall will still pack a heavy punch, I am sure of it. With Daniel Craig continuing his stellar role as James Bond, after knocking out his previous dramatic thriller role in … Read More New Trailer: Skyfall – Official Trailer #1

For Your Consideration 2011: “Coriolanus”

by

Based on the Shakespearian tragedy of the same title, it is hard to justify why “Coriolanus” would not get an Adapted Screenplay nomination. However, marking Ralph Fiennes directorial debut, the rest of the film may end up empty-handed (talk of Vanessa Redgrave gaining a nomination is stirring though). BEST PICTURE Produced by Ralph Fiennes, Colin Vaines, John Logan, Gabrielle Tana, Julia Taylor-Stanle BEST DIRECTING … Read More For Your Consideration 2011: “Coriolanus”

CLASH OF THE TITANS BY CHRISTOPHER HASKELLJUNE 22, 2010 Right off the bat, let me make it clear that I have yet to view the original (not from a lack of effort, however). From what I hear, the original is not that great. Sam Worthington has made quite the action-adventure run in the last year with “Terminator: Salvation,” “Avatar,” and now “Clash of the … Read More Movie Review: Clash Of The Titans (2010)
