Oscars
Oscar Nominated Animated Shorts (85th Academy Awards) (review)
“Paperman” might be the most romantic movie of the year…
Flight (review)
Appears to poke, and not kindly, at how our society enables abusers of drugs and alcohol… until it stops being that interesting.
No (trailer)
This might be the best movie I saw at the London Film Festival last year…
Oscar Nominated Live-Action Shorts (85th Academy Awards) (review)
My favorite of the lot is the French-Belgian “Death of a Shadow,” a steampunkish science fantasy…
Amour (review)
There have been other stories about longstanding love and the devotion it inspires, but none with quite the wallop of this one…
War Witch (trailer)
One of only a very few Oscar nominees I haven’t yet seen…
Hollywood’s *real* bias (and other adventures in social networking)
Stuff my followers on Facebook, Twitter, and Google+ saw today…

Stuff my followers on Facebook, Twitter, and Google+ saw today…
