For Your Consideration 2013: Stories We Tell

by Christopher Haskell

For a documentary that I had absolutely no interest in seeing back in May, I’ve heard enough about it and seen it pop up in enough places to where my interest is peaked. Sarah Polley investigating her family to find truth to their stories, the film is a personal look into a creative woman’s family. Polley is also no stranger to the Oscars, having … Read More For Your Consideration 2013: Stories We Tell

For Your Consideration 2013: Mud

by Christopher Haskell

Will he go from being under-appreciated to having two nominations this year? I might be pulling for it. Matthew McConaughey is a force to be reckoned with and delivering two absolutely astounding performances this year, we’ll not only see him in the critics’ awards circle, but I have a feeling we’ll see his name, not just once, but possibly twice in up for contention. … Read More For Your Consideration 2013: Mud

For Your Consideration 2011: “Margin Call”

by Christopher Haskell

Being considered one of the most underrated films of the year, “Margin Call”, though it is being considered for all the right nominations to make it a big player simply will not register at this year’s Oscars. Filled with acting considerations, I highly doubt any of them will actually come through on the big night, though I will be holding out for the screenplay … Read More For Your Consideration 2011: “Margin Call”

For starters, Glenn Close actually played this role in 1982 in a stage production of “Albert Nobbs”. After trying to get the play produced into a film for all these years, she finally found director István Szabó, a Hungarian filmmaker. Now imagine this, before the film was recast following a delay in production, the supporting roles were supposed to be played by Amanda Seyfried … Read More For Your Consideration 2011: “Albert Nobbs”

Movie Review: Shrink (2009)

by Christopher Haskell

SHRINK BY CHRISTOPHER HASKELLJULY 30, 2010 The mass majority of Americans have issues, including myself. After viewing “Shrink,” however, my issues pale in comparison to those of Henry Carter’s. Drugs and death surround “Shrink” and its characters, creating the subsequential theme of the film. Every character in the film suffers from some sort of addiction or disorder. Normally it would be professionals like Henry … Read More Movie Review: Shrink (2009)
