Tomorrow night, the Academy Awards® will be handed out for the 85th time. Despite doomsayers, 2012 was a very good year for film – from blockbusters to the tiniest indies. I don’t like predicting Oscar® recipients and I’m not that good at figuring out what the Academy will honor (despite being in demographic of the […]

Catching Fire: Propaganda Posters From The Hunger Games Sequel!
It makes a weird kind of sense for the first character-centric art from The Hunger Games: Catching Fire to be propaganda posters celebrating the winners of the 74th Hunger Games. Poster #2 follows the jump.
Michelle’s Oscar Predictions!
For some reason I’m just not into this year’s Oscar race. But then I rarely am. Overall I think this year’s choices are miles better than last year, but out of all the really strong films last year the Academy could not have come up with a more predictable, bland selection of films. Not that […]
Michelle’s Bookcase! FilmCraft: Producing By Geoffrey Macnab & Sharon Swart
Contrary to popular belief, I do no how to read and sometimes I like to read. Sometimes I don’t just watch movies. I like learning how they are made or discover books that I think may become movies some day. So every couple of weeks I will give you a couple of books that film […]
Travel By Bubble–OZ Clip Is Nifty Beyond Words!

New Trailer: Monsters University!
Mike & Sully: The Early Days. ‘Nuff said!
Trailer: The Internship–Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson Poke at Google!
Two unemployed salesmen – Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson – try to finagle their way into an internship at Google in hopes of it leading to real jobs. I’m not sure if this is sad or what – but it is funny! The question is whether it will lead to another Wedding Crashers or just […]
It’s a Good Day to Kill a Franchise!
As a fan of even the fourth entry in the Die Hard franchise, which introduced John McClane’s estranged daughter Lucy, it is my sad duty to announce that A Good Day to Die Hard is not just the worst entry in the series, but one of the worst movies I’ve seen over the last few […]
The Blue Umbrella–Now Even Shorts Get Their Own Posters!
It is just another evening commute until the rain starts to fall, and the city comes alive to the sound of dripping rain pipes, whistling awnings and gurgling gutters. And in the midst, two umbrellas—one blue, one not—fall eternally in love. The Blue Umbrella is the Pixar short that will precede Monsters University when it […]
Side Effects Is Typically Twisty Soderbergh!
If Steven Soderbergh has really left filmmaking for good, he is definitely going out on a high note. Side Effects is a twisty piece of fun that swerves from apparent satire – about our heavily medicated culture – to thriller without missing a beat or ever losing its psychological edge.
Identity Theft Suffers Identity Crisis!
Identity Theft takes a comedic look at one of the most frightening possibilities of the computer age. While it’s an odd choice of subject for a movie, let alone a comedy, the combination of the straight man’s straight man, Jason Bateman, with one of the hotter comedic talents in recent years, Melissa McCarthy, is inspired […]
