Oscar Predictions 2013

It’s the middle of February and we’re still talking about awards season. Are you tired of hearing about Ben Affleck’s Oscar nomination snub as much as me? Here were my thoughts over a year ago about how moving up the date of the Academy Awards would do a great service to all movie fans. Nevertheless, I’ve written out my thoughts on the upcoming Oscars ceremony this weekend.

Zero Dark Thirty

 

(2012 – Director: Kathryn Bigelow   Cast: Jessica Chastain, Jason Clarke)

Zero Dark Thirty is a film that tests your patience. But that’s the point.

Top Ten Movies of 2012

Due to me being a man of limited means and time, I’ve come up far short of seeing every 2012 movie I wanted to. With that being said, here are my top ten films I saw in the year 2012.

Argo

 

(2012 – Director: Ben Affleck   Cast: Ben Affleck, Bryan Cranston, John Goodman)

What we have with Argo is a surgically precise film done with care and thoughtfulness, but ultimately lacks the deeper connection that makes people talk about the film afterwards.
