The Oscars: 84th Academy Award Nominations

Sandy Schaefer — Tue, 24 Jan 2012 15:34:03 +0000

Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences President Tom Sherak and Oscar-nominated actress Jennifer Lawrence (Winter’s Bone, The Hunger Games) jointly announced the nominations for the 84th Academy Awards this morning, on Tuesday January 24th. The actual 2012 Oscar ceremony will take place next month, on February 26th at the Kodak theater – with Billy Crystal serving as host, for the ninth time in his career.

In the aftermath of the 2012 Golden Globes ceremony, Hollywood “in-crowd” types like George Clooney and Meryl Streep are favored to take home the gold for acting, while multiple Globe-winning films such as The Artist and The Descendants are considered heavyweight contenders for the coveted Best Picture Oscar.

Martin Scorsese’s Hugo led the way with eleven nominations, stacking up many a nod in the technical categories, while ...

DVD/Blu-ray Breakdown: August 19, 2011

Last week the home video selection was practically designed for the stoner crowd. This week is a little more balanced, but definitely gives the period piece a chance to shine. It’s not a fantastic week in DVD and Blu-ray, but it is one that should provide at least one worthy release for most home video fans.

More importantly, this week brings The Big Lebowski to Blu-ray. It includes a handful of retrospective featurettes that make it a worthy addition to any home video collection and enhances the video and audio of the film tenfold.

Also out this week are Marley & Me: The Puppy Years and The Bang Bang Club. While the former is an unnecessary straight-to-DVD sequel, the latter is an intriguing movie that gained some traction at film festivals, but never caught on. ...

Jane Eyre Trailer is a Dark and Moody Classic

Paul Young — Thu, 11 Nov 2010 23:56:43 +0000

Since 1910, twenty-one different versions of Jane Eyre have graced the big and small screen. The story about a girl growing up in the Victorian era by 19th Century novelist Charlotte Bronte is a classic tale that speaks to the morality of right and wrong – and provides a criticism on society that still ring true today.

Today, we’ve got a new trailer for the twenty-second interpretation of Jane Eyre – which features an especially dark and moody take on the story.

Next spring, director Cary Fukunaga (Sin Nombre) – whose filmography includes mostly short and indie films up to this point – teams up with Mia Wasikowska (Alice in Wonderland) and Michael Fassbender (X-Men: First Class) to try his hand at retelling the timeless story.

Bronte’s novel was originally in five acts – ...
