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 2nd, 2008
Film Independent announced the nominations for the 24th annual Independent Spirit Awards today, and Oscar-hopeful Rachel Getting Married got a lot of attention. The film tied smaller indies including the Melissa Leo-starrer Frozen River and my favorite film so far this year Ballast (a film that I’m sure you won’t hear about in the Oscar race) with [...]
2008′s Creative Dearth
Posted by Dan Stasiewski on October 27th, 2008
As someone who fancies himself a bit of a film critic, I try to manage my own expectations despite my genuine love of cinema. (That sound pretentious, but bear with me.) Before this year, I would generally see anything that was thrown in front of me because I would rather watch a bad movie than [...]
