QOTD: Are the Academy Awards making a good move by rebranding as “the Oscars”?

There may be some things about the Academy Awards that need fixing, but this didn’t seem to be it.

question of the day: What Star Wars stories do you want to see in Episodes VII, VIII, and IX?

Thu, Nov 01, 2012

Some speculation has it that the next films will revolve around an older Luke Skywalker, but I’m not so sure that’s a great idea…

question of the day: Should we applaud successful movie marketing when the movie being marketed is a stinker?

Mon, Jan 09, 2012

I’m angry as a filmgoer, and on behalf of all those filmgoers who plunked down for a ticket to The Devil Inside this weekend and then felt like they’d been ripped off.

question of the day: Has Hollywood abandoned young men?

Tue, Nov 15, 2011

Transformers, Pirates of the Caribbean, Thor, Green Lantern, X-Men, Captain America, etc. This is what 2011 looks like at the movies. In what way can it be construed that young men are “endangered” at the box office?

question of the day: What do you think of Eddie Murphy as an Oscar host?

Thu, Sep 08, 2011

There’s a long tradition of comedians and comic actors hosting the Oscars. But can Murphy pull it off?

question of the day: Is there any chance in Hades that ‘Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2’ could get an Oscar nom for Best Picture?

I think it’s so remote a possibility as to be preposterous. And no, the Return of the King sweep is not an apt comparison.

the last episode of Oprah Winfrey’s show airs today

Wed, May 25, 2011

Have I ever watched a single episode of The Oprah Winfrey Show? I don’t think so… maybe accidentally, some day in 1993 when I was home sick from work and lolling on the sofa and too miserable to change the TV channel…

Is the upcoming American fall TV season going to be awesome and original, or repetitive and trite? Depends who you ask…
