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 [...]

NY Film Critics pick Milk
Posted by Dan Stasiewski on December 10th, 2008
It’s not an out-of-left-field choice like LAFCA’s WALL-E pick, but the NYFCC solidifies Milk‘s position as a serious contender in the Best Picture race. It’s also worth noting that Penelope Cruz is sweeping the Supporting Actress awards so far this season. She’s 3 for 3 at with her NBR, LAFCA, and NYFCC wins. Best Picture [...]
LA Film Critics pick WALL-E
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 November 17th, 2008
You know, that title would have you think that I have news here. But I don’t. Neither did Sarah Vowell when she spoke at the Cleveland Public Library yesterday. After reading from her books and what I presume is an unpublished essay (she read it from a printed document), Ms. Vowell answered audience questions. [...]

Year in Review – Top Ten Films of 2008
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, [...]
