the 85th Academy Award nominees
With links to my reviews. I’ll be adding reviews of the last few films I haven’t yet covered between now and the Oscars.
Hugh Jackman
QOTD: Which iconic (or imaginary) actor pairings would be fun to reverse?
Like how Russell Crowe and Hugh Jackman could have swapped roles in Les Misérables and it would have worked just as well…
question of the day: What’s the most inexplicable appearance by a big star in a crappy movie?
Inspired by Movie 43, which distinguishes itself in this regard merely by the sheer number of incomprehensible movie-star appearances in a single film…
Movie 43 movie review
It is so cute what this flick thinks is “dangerous” and “offensive”!
question of the day: What films best celebrate dignity at the end of life?
Inspired by that powerful final scene of Les Misérables…
question of the day: What do you think of the Golden Globe winners (and losers)?
Feel free to talk about the TV side as well, if you like…
Les Misérables (review)
There’s an alchemy here that brings together the best of screen and the best of stage…
Rise of the Guardians (review)
There’s genuine magic here. Dark magic, even. That’s a good thing.
Rise of the Guardians (trailer)
Hugh Jackman as a badass Easter Bunny? I love this already.
Les Misérables (trailer)
I really like Anne Hathaway’s sad take on “The Dream I Dreamed”…
