Precursor: 18th Screen Actors Guild Nominations (2011)
The 18th annual Screen Actors Guild Awards have been announced and the nominees are mostly names we’ve heard before with the exception of Demian Bichir for A Better Life and Jonah Hill for Moneyball. There are few major surprises here, though it’s worth noting that The Artist is not only secured an Oscar nomination, but…

Precursor: 15th Toronto Film Critics Association (2011)
The Toronto critics have proclaimed their best of the year without a single film really emerging as a surprise. This group is not good at predicting with Animated Feature and Supporting Actor each earning three prizes in the last five years. Though, they are better at getting nominees with Animated Feature (The Adventures of Tintin),…

The DVD Report #234
New This Week Not since Steel Magnolias more than twenty years ago has there been a film in which the women are all strong and the men, for the most part, all weak as in The Help. Maybe it’s a Southern thing as both films are set in the Deep South. Granted, the main thrust…

Precursor: 17th Broadcast Film Critics Nominations (2011)
The Broadcast Film Critics Association, who call themselves the “Critics’ Choice” despite only representing a fraction of working critics, have announced their annual Oscar predictions…I mean award nominations. As expected, The Artist, Hugo and The Help were among the most nominated with Drive doing much better than I would have expected from this group. Each…

Precursor: 16th San Diego Film Critics Society Nominations (2011)
Although the San Diego critics have been giving out awards for sixteen years now, their first nomination set was revealed only in 2010, which means we have no way of knowing their impact. The Artist continues its dominance and Drive is showing surprising resilience. In addition to the nominees and/or winners listed below, this year,…

Precursor: 3rd Indiana Film Critics (2011)
Not much can be said about this group whose two prior years have barely given us enough information to know much of anything except that their director and foreign film choices in the past haven’t been Oscar nominees. They are at least going to break their dismal record in Best Director this year, though Paul…

Trailer Watch: Titanic (3D re-release)
You’d be surprised how good it actually looks. I don’t remember how many times I saw it originally in the theater (enough to feel a bit fanboyish), but that just suggests that I’ll have no qualms about seeing it again in the theater. Titanic (3D re-release) Plot Summary: In time for the 100th anniversary of…
