From the trailer alone, I want to root for Joaquin Phoenix and his role in “Her” as a man looking for connection and finding it in the robotic voice that becomes his personal assistant.

Having been nominated three times for his acting work in different … Read More For Your Consideration 2013: Her
Never say never. The Academy loves to nominate Roger Deakins without awarding him and this year could be no different and “Prisoners” is the Oscar caliber film that could go either way, meaning it could either grab a few nominations and no one would be surprised, or it could totally be forgotten and that wouldn’t effect many people either. With multiple Academy Award nominees … Read More For Your Consideration 2013: Prisoners
Expect about the same showing, or even less, from this year’s “The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug”.

Get out your pen and paper because “Gravity” will be kicking ass and taking names at this year’s Oscars, becoming one of the biggest box office successes and most critically acclaimed films of the year.

Falling in the same boat as fellow Warner Brothers film “Man Of Steel”, the same sort of guidelines apply to “Pacific Rim”. Backed by a major studio award contender as of late, more attention can be placed on films under the umbrella, but with “Pacific Rim” not bringing in the greatest numbers or critical acclaim, the film could easily fall on the wayside. It … Read More For Your Consideration 2013: Pacific Rim
With Warner Brothers backing it and the Christopher Nolan factor at play, “Man Of Steel” could make a slightly bigger impact at the Oscars than one would expect.

Having supposed to released before last year’s Academy Awards, it would have been interesting to see what this film could have done.

Before seeing “42” in April, I would have strongly guessed this film would garner tons of Oscar attention.

Not only did Roger Ebert name “Argo” the frontrunner for Best Picture at this year’s Toronto International Film Festival, but tons of critics are following suit, also stating that Ben Affleck could be in the standings to win Best Director.

“Cloud Atlas” is quite the ambitious undertaking, but I’m afraid most of these categories will be overlooked when thinking of the film.

Never count out Best Film Editing, Best Makeup, … Read More For Your Consideration 2012: Cloud Atlas
Not your everyday film about strippers, “Magic Mike” is kept in-line by director Steven Soderbergh.

Considering that the Best Picture rules were changed because of the backlash towards “The Dark Knight” not being recognized at the 2009 Academy Awards, it would be pressing to say that “The Dark Knight Rises” doesn’t at least have a chance of making the final cut.

CRAZY, STUPID, LOVE.

One of the eighteen animated feature films up for consideration for Best Animated Feature, I really hope “Happy Feet Two” is not nominated because I really do not want to watch it.

However, contrary to popularity, the … Read More For Your Consideration 2011: “Happy Feet Two”
Winning an Oscar at a prior Academy Awards ceremony definitely puts an actor/actress in the driver’s seat when it comes to getting nominated again. Sandra Bullock has enough steam to be another front-runner at this year’s Oscars and, though I have yet to see the film, “Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close” appears like “The Blind Side” of 2011, with family values and strong emotion. … Read More For Your Consideration 2011: “Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close”
One look at “Splice” and you realize it bears a striking resemblance to the 1995 science fiction horror film “Species”. From the trailers, I anticipated a “Species” remake without actually being a remake and replacing the alien with a genetically engineered “species”. What I got was exactly that, almost to the “T” (or “S” since there really is no “T” in the word “species”).
SHERLOCK HOLMES BY CHRISTOPHER HASKELLDECEMBER 25, 2009 Sherlock Holmes was never so bad ass. Great performances all around.

I almost wish he could have been in something a little more serious … Read More Movie Review: Sherlock Holmes (2009)
