My 2012 Oscar Predictions As Of Monday, February 20th
I put out an Oscar prediction blog posting back when the nominees were announced but a lot has happened since then, i.e. the Golden Globes, SAG awards and the BAFTA Awards. I still know and feel that “The Artist” will win best picture but a couple of my predictions have changed. I put two versions of my predictions up; what will win and what should win.
Biggest upsets:
1) “Drive” not getting a Best Picture nomination
2) Ryan Gosling not getting a Best Actor nomination for “Drive”
3) Andy Serkis not getting a Best Actor nomination for “Rise of the Planet of the Apes”
4) “Warrior” not getting a Best Picture nomination
5) “The Adventures of Tin Tin” not getting a Best Animated Feature nomination
6) Elizabeth Olson not getting a Best Actress nomination for “Martha Marcy May Marlene
7) Michael Fassbender not getting a Best Actor nomination for “Shame” Check Out My Predictions

One Of My Most Anticipated Films Of 2012 (NSFW)
The first time I saw this trailer I was literally blown back in my chair. The combination of Mike Shinoda’s (Linkin Park) music with the non-stop brutal action violence just blew my mind. The trailer below is a red band trailer so it’s not safe for work. It’s essentially like watching an R-Rated version of the film. The trailer takes me back to the old school days of John Woo. Films like “The Killer” and “Hard Boiled” were obviously a huge influence here! Watch the Trailer
Oscar Nominations 2012: Still Out Of Touch – My Thoughts And Predictions
I think Matt Damon said it best when he said that the Academy Awards shouldn’t consider a film for a nomination until 10 years after it’s release.
On the evening of March 21st, 1999, I lost faith in the Academy Awards. I would pay money to see video footage of every person watching the Oscars that night. Wouldn’t it be awesome to see a montage of jaws dropping when “Shakespeare In Love” beat “Saving Private Ryan” for best picture? Is there anyone out there that truly thinks “Shakespeare In Love” is a better film? “Saving Private Ryan” could have been shut off after the first twenty minutes and still been a better film than “Shakespeare in Love.” Throughout the years, more crazy decisions like that began to occur. Do you remember when “The Reader” received a best picture nomination over “The Dark Knight”? Or when Christopher Nolan didn’t receive a Best Director nomination for the game-changing flick “Inception”? Or how about last year’s winner for Best Picture being “The King’s Speech”? No one talks about “The Kings Speech” anymore. It was a solid film that is forgotten and left to sit on DVD shelves. Who is going to wake up one a Saturday afternoon and say, “Man, I really feel like watching “The King’s Speech” today?” Audiences are still trying to wrap their minds around “Inception” and discussing Fincher’s “The Social Network”, which are signs of films that deserve more attention from the Academy.

Best & Worst Movies of 2011
Hey everyone. I just wanted to say thank you so much for visiting the new site. Here you will find my listings for top 10 best and top 10 worst flicks of 2011. There’s always a difference between “best” and “favorite” so I went ahead a mixed a couple of both in to the list.
One of the films I left off my top 10 best of the year is “Transformers: Dark of the Moon.” Much like “Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol”, it was a film that had to be seen in theatres. There are films out there that might necessarily have the greatest scripts of all time but are just fun to see in a theatre. Michael Bay did a fantastic job with the 3D and creating a high-octane action film.
The same can be said for “Fast Five”, which is one of the best times I’ve had in a theatre in an long time. So if I had an honorable mention list, it would be “Transformers: Dark of the Moon”, “Fast Five” and “Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol.” Those are three absolutely incredible action films!

Your Mission: Not Be Ripped Off With Fake IMAX!
Image Credit: lfexaminer.com
To this day (even after Aziz Ansari’s famous blog/rant about fake IMAX), it still amazes me that theatre chains like AMC and REGAL get away with calling their slightly larger than normal theaters, IMAX screens. Sure, the IMAX name is on the outside of the theatre but is it truly IMAX? The short answer is hell no! The only “real” IMAX screen that I’ve personally seen that is associated with AMC is the Lincoln Square theatre in New York City. The screen is 8 stories tall and uses a 70mm film projector. The majority of the IMAX screen partnerships with AMC, Regal, etc are IMAX DIGITAL; meaning the 70mm film used to shoot the movie was shot on, is converted down to a digital format to be projected on a smaller screen.

Top Original Films
There hasn’t been a single original film that I’ve reviewed in the last two weeks. Last week, I reviewed a prequel (“Paranormal Activity 3″), a remake (“The Three Musketeers”) and a sequel (“Johnny English”). The week before that I reviewed a prequel to a remake (“The Thing”), a film based on a book (“The Big Year”) and another remake (“Footloose”). I mean, that is just absurd!

Are Trailers Ruining Movies?
And the award for crazy lawsuit of the day goes to the women who is suing the film studio, Film District, because she claims she was misled by the trailer she saw for “Drive.” The Hollywood Reporter reports that Sarah Deming charges that the trailer for the Ryan Gosling flick, “promoted the film “Drive” as very similar to “Fast and Furious”…”. When it wasn’t even close to her expectations, she filed suit for false advertising. So, Are Trailers Ruining Movies?
