Year in Review – Top Ten Films of 2008
Posted by Dan Stasiewski on January 25th, 2009
One of the problems with living in a place like Cleveland (or Erie, Pa. before this) and not in NYC or LA is that you don’t get to see all the movies of 2008 until it’s 2009. I’ve always given myself an extra month to catch up. Considering the lackluster year it’s been for movies, [...]

Posted by Dan Stasiewski on January 11th, 2009
Slumdog may have took top prize, but Kate Winslet was the queen of the Golden Globes. That long-overdue Winselt Oscar looks like a real possibility. The winners: Best Picture – Drama Slumdog Millionaire Best Actor – Drama Mickey Rourke – The Wrestler Best Actress – Drama Kate Winslet – Revolutionary Road Best Picture – Comedy/Musical [...]

Posted by Dan Stasiewski on January 8th, 2009
No real surprise as Slumdog Millionaire takes top prize (and 4 others) at the BFCA Critics’ Choice Awards. (Sorry, The Dark Knight fans.) All signs continue to point to Slumdog as the Best Picture favorite. Damn me for not having cable television. I’d would have liked to seen some of these acceptance speeches, especially Kate [...]

Posted by Dan Stasiewski on December 9th, 2008
Disney/Pixar’s WALL-E nabbed the Los Angeles Film Critics Association award for Best Picture today. In the past 25 years, 4/5 of the picture that received the prize went on to get an Oscar nomination for Best Picture. My initial guess is that WALL-E will join the ranks of those nomination-less winners of years past. But this [...]

Posted by Dan Stasiewski on October 9th, 2008
Mark your calendars. The second-highest grossing film of all time (domestic) and biggest superhero film ever is coming to a store near you on Dec. 9. Amazon.com is taking pre-orders for the incomparable Batman Begins sequel, The Dark Knight, as I type this. (It’s also available on Blu-ray Disc and as a Two-Disc Special Edition.) The [...]

Posted by Dan Stasiewski on October 9th, 2008
The amazingly accurate Latino Review is reporting that Warner Bros. wants Ryan Gosling to be their Hal Jordan. Let the fanboy revolt commence. Gosling doesn’t look like the guy you’d cast as the Green Lantern, but he fits Warner’s grand vision for their superhero franchises. He’s a deeply emotional actor, whose turn in Half Nelson [...]
Two-Face is Dead, So Says Harvey Dent
Posted by Dan Stasiewski on September 3rd, 2008
When you’re doing press for one movie and people keep asking about another, how do you shut them up? “No. I’m dead. ” Aaron Eckhart attempted to quash rumors of a Two-Face return in the next Batman movie in at least two published interviews tonight, here and here. He’s out promoting the upcoming Alan Ball [...]

Heath Ledger in Doctor Parnassus
Austrian website DVD-forum.at nabbed four stills from Terry Gilliam’s upcoming feature The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus, a.k.a. Heath Ledger’s last film. The film will premiere at Cannes, but the production company behind Parnassus has been seeking a distribution deal ahead of the French fest. You’d think major buyers would be fighting over the property, but [...]
