6th-Jan-2010 06:14 am - 25 Favorite Films I Saw in/of 2009
[info]erdbeermund
[info]moviebuffs
There are some things I haven't seen yet which I will probably like, The White Ribbon in particular, but as it stands this is my Top 25 list, roughly ranked with Summer Hours at or near number one.

Summer Hours
A Woman's Way (Strella)
Raging Sun, Raging Sky
Cherry Blossoms
Who's Afraid of the Wolf ( Read more... )

Most overrated would be The Hurt Locker, with A Single Man and Star Trek right up there and a nod toward Inglourious Basterds.

This is my complete list of the 2009 movies I've seen, broken up by whether and to which degree I liked them.

I have never seen this movie.

True story. I have heard that its WAY more fun to see in a theater, but since there arent any showing it anymore, should I just break down and add it to my Netflix, or keep waiting?
6th-Jan-2010 10:27 am - PGA nominees
[info]wellslud
[info]moviebuffs
Here are the nominees from the Producer's Guild of America. These often reflect about 80% of the nominees (and have cracked 100% a few times, but that was with 5 nominees) for Oscar Best Picture. So to those who said to my predictions a month ago that STAR TREK had no chance of getting in.... nyahhh, nyahhh. ;-)  (I'm not saying it's a definite - in fact, I removed it from my predictions about a fortnight ago (but will now reconsider), but it has a very good chance - if it doesn't make it, it would be one of the two or three just outside the ten). Anyway, the nominees are:

AVATAR
Producers: James Cameron, Jon Landau

DISTRICT 9
Producers: Carolynne Cunningham, Peter Jackson

AN EDUCATION
Producers: Finola Dwyer, Amanda Posey

THE HURT LOCKER
Producer(s): Awaiting final credit determination.

INGLOURIOUS BASTERDS
Producer: Lawrence Bender

INVICTUS
Producers: Clint Eastwood, Rob Lorenz, Lori McCreary , Mace Neufeld

PRECIOUS: BASED ON THE NOVEL PUSH BY SAPPHIRE
Producers: Lee Daniels, Gary Magness, Sarah Siegel-Magness

STAR TREK
Producers: J.J. Abrams, Damon Lindelof

UP
Producer: Jonas Rivera

UP IN THE AIR
Producer(s): Awaiting final credit determination.

I've copied and pasted today's blog entry, which is about a six-hour marathon of bad movies and jokes, courtesy of the creators of Mystery Science Theater 3000. This version is trimmed a little, to focus on the show itself rather than all the color of the evening. If you're interested in the original post, you can find it in its entirety here.

4th-Jan-2010 10:00 pm - Where The Wild Things Are
[info]shaved_ape
[info]moviebuffs
This movie really wasnt what I was expecting - but in a good way. It portrayed brilliantly the kind of things that kids (particularly boys) of that age find thrilling and want to do all the time. It also (and this was the bit I wasnt expecting) had a very strong idea of things kids find difficult. The film captured fantastically the moment when kids realise that their families are a maze of conflicting desires and emotions and sometimes there isnt a way to make everyone happy all of the time, so finding the best possible way is a constant battle and nobody can have all the answers. (sometimes people get things wrong). The film does this and also manages to balance an enormous sense of rowdy fun. I like this film a lot, maybe not more than I expected I would - but in a different way.

2010 Movie Project #4 - The Untouchables (De Palma, 1987)

"They pull a knife, you pull a gun. He sends one of yours to the hospital, you send one of his to the morgue! That's the Chicago way!"

Director: Brian De Palma
Writer: David Mamet
Starring: Kevin Coster, Sean Connery, Robert De Niro

Kevin Costner is slowly joining a list of actors I once hated, but have now come to respect. Granted, it's a list of two (the other being Denzel Washington), so it may not hold that much weight, but it's still pretty much a glowing reference to Costner's ability, at least from me. After Mr Brooks, in which even Dane Cook gives a good turn, Costner slowly started creeping up the rankings. After the Untouchables, that slow creep turned into a massive leap.

Review: IT'S COMPLICATED

 When the credits rolled on IT'S COMPLICATED, a thought came to my mind. It's the same thought I've been having every Thursday night at 10pm for the last three and a half years...

When the hell did Alec Baldwin get so friggin' good???
