Believe the hype. Creed is a great movie and I believe we will see a Best Supporting Actor Oscar nomination for Sylvester Stallone. Thank you, thank you, thank Ryan Coogler and Michael B. Jordan for infusing the franchise with a completely fresh take. BTW, rumors now have Ryan Coogler directing the new Marvel Black Panther […]
Once again we have an Oscar season embroiled in controversy; progress is slow in Hollywood. I am interested to see how Chris Rock approaches this, I believe it will be fun to watch. This could be the year where Leo wins his first Oscar. It seems like the Best Actor category is stacked in his […]
Overall we did pretty well on our predictions this year.
Here are the things we got right:
* Grand Budapest Hotel Art & Production Departments – lived on stage (easy ones really)
* Innaritu wins Best Director (many had Linklater here)
* Moore wins Actress (easy)
* Arquette wins Supporting Actress […]
Last year we did pretty well on predictions, but last year was easier. This year has been tough to make out. The biggest theme of this year’s Oscars is #OscarsSoWhite. I completely agree, the nominations will be the most memorable thing about the awards this year, […]
“Guardians of the Galaxy OBLITERATES August Record” – that headline is accurate – the huge opening of Guardians and the no doubt huge box office that will follow both domestically and around the world – has proven a big bet by Marvel has paid off. With the meteoric, and surprising success of […]
Kurt Russell, is a great actor. The guy just flat out delivers every time, and when Kurt needs to dial up the drama he is able to call upon the muscles in his cheek to deliver this “quivering” or “shaking” effect – usually the result of extreme effort being exerted. He has done […]
Where do we put Road House? Released 25 years ago today, Road House is one of those movies that we don’t have a category for. Is it a “Great movie?” I am going to argue that it is. Below are the top 5 reasons why this movie is great. If you haven’t seen Road House, […]
Gravity won the most Oscar’s this year, and though it didn’t win Best Picture – I think it was the best picture from many different perspectives. It is rare to see a movie sweep the technical categories the way that this movie did. 12 Years a Slave was a deserved best picture winner […]
When those PWC guys walk up to the podium, with those award winners at the Kodak Theater – you know you are putting the previous year in the books. 2013 was a good year in movies – box office was big again and there were some really solid films.
The Movieraiders had […]
I saw Iron Man 3 this summer– and I enjoyed it. It is very clear that Robert Downey Jr. (RDJ) is Tony Stark. He owns that character and that persona in a way that I don’t think anyone will be able to top. It would be stupid of me to say that there will […]
So The Wolverine recently came out and it creates the appropriate opportunity to dig into the continued craze of comic book movies.
I loved reading comic books as a kid and was a big fan of X-Men and Spider Man. And overall, I think it has been great seeing […]
