2013 Spring Preview: Introduction
There’s a lot of reason to be disappointed in this slate of Spring releases. While this is how I typically see the Spring, prior years have seen a few pleasant surprises and a few brazen openings; however, looking over this list, I don’t seem to see a single film that I’m truly excited to see.…

Precursor: 19th Screen Actors Guild Nominations (2012)
Apart from the surprise inclusion of Nicole Kidman in the critically lambasted The Paperboy, these results are largely what we expected. Some noteworthy exclusions: Joaquin Phoenix failed to enter the race for Best Actor, making him seem like the most vulnerable of this year’s competitors. SAG went for Marion Cotillard in Rust and Bone, but…

Precursor: 17th San Diego Film Critics (2012)
This is the kind of list I like to see. Other than a couple of names, there are no duplicates with other critics groups. Argo‘s dominance is heartening as is the double win for The Perks of Being a Wallflower. Sadly, I don’t think San Diego, one of the oldest critics groups that began proliferating…

Precursor: 18th Broadcast Film Critics Nominations (2012)
There’s something almost self-destructive about adding categories to your awards like acting in comedy or action films and then adding a category for sci-fi. While it’s nice to recognize the different aspects of filmmaking, especially in light of the sequestration of the Best Picture category to mainly dramatic pictures, the organization risks looking like a…

The DVD Report #286
New This Week It’s been a long time since I’ve seen a new action/adventure film that didn’t fall short of the hype. After a long dry spell there’s The Dark Knight Rises, Christopher Nolan’s final installment in his Batman trilogy. The trilogy began auspiciously with 2005’s aptly named Batman Begins bringing authority and awe to…

Precursor: 12th American Film Institute (2012)
It’s hard to know what films will qualify for the American Institute honor and which won’t. They have a strict U.S. only selection process, which eliminates films like Amour, but the New Zealand-based The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey could be eligible, but was it too foreign for them? The original trilogy was on their list,…
