Members of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences may have shot themselves in the foot with their selection of top Oscar nominees on Thursday, the Chicago Tribune suggested today (Friday). The newspaper observed that by selecting so many relatively obscure movies, the Academy seems to have guaranteed another low-rated Oscars ceremony. Entertainment writer Marc Caro noted that The Dark Knight, which took in $531 million at the domestic box office last year also garnered 94 positive reviews on the Rotten Tomatoes website, compared with 60 percent for The Reader, which has grossed only $7.9 million. "Yet The Reader is a best picture (and director) nominee, and The Dark Knight is not," Caro observed. Mediaweek analyst Marc Berman added: "The problem with the films this year is none of them are huge, mass-appeal hits." Caro concluded that by denying recognition to films like Knight and Wall-e, the movie academy "risks confirming the suspicions of those who think it has grown out of touch with mainstream tastes."


I AGREE, ALSO, The Wresler nu e la best film si regie ! si Clint !

Cameo Enzo Castellari in Inglorious B...

daca nu era Castellari, cum facea Tara.. his "guys on a mission" flick ? Questo Maledeto treno Blindato, despre care am scris la filme-cult in 2007, unul din filmele preferate ale copilariei mele (si nu numai, QT had one too...)

Franz Ferdinand-TONIGHT

albumul nr 2 interesant pe 2009 (primul fiind "Working on a Dream "al lui The Boss, care oficial apare pe 27 ian. si are pe el THE WRESTLER (huo AMPAS again) l-am descoperit azi pe myspace music,
scotienii de la Franz Ferdinand continua linia de pe anteriorul "You Could Have It So Much Better" (2005), cu acest TONIGHT,

energetic, happy-go-lucky dar si tasteful. Nu stiu de ce, imi aduc aminte de fISCHER Z, cu care de altfel nu au nici o legatura.

Basterds begins in German-occupied France, where Shosanna Dreyfus (Mélanie Laurent) witnesses the execution of her family at the hand of Nazi Colonel Hans Landa (Christoph Waltz). Shosanna narrowly escapes and flees to Paris, where she forges a new identity as the owner and operator of a cinema.

Elsewhere in Europe, Lieutenant Aldo Raine (Brad Pitt) organizes a group of Jewish soldiers to engage in targeted acts of retribution.
