Shhh.... Do You Hear The Turkeys?
Thanksgiving has arrived quickly this year... not sure why. Maybe it was the beach weather we were still having into late October around here. Yet, Toronto seems like eons ago already. The only extremely active people in town seem to be the UPS and FedEx men and women, who are just getting ...

Marc Shaiman @ The Oscars
The announcement of Marc Shaiman to be Musical Director for The Oscars is not much of a surprise, given the relationship with Adam Shankman and his years of being around the Oscars, especially in the Billy Crystal era, when he worked with Crystal on all of those show opening numbers. What is ...

Super Movie Friends 8
I was thrilled to welcome Quentin Tarantino's editor, Sally Menke, Michael Haneke's cinematographer, Christian Berger, and the editor of Tom Ford's directorial debut, A Single Man (and longtime Menke collaborator), Joan Sobel to the table to talk about their work. A really fun and ...

Review - The Blind Side
I knew the material that is the source of The Blind Side since I had quickly consumed the Michael Lewis book when it was released. I was late to the cult of Moneyball and had caught up with his work. The thing about The Blind Side was that it was fascinating on some levels and completely ...

Weekend Box Office by Klady (Vampire)
An estimated $258.8 million worldwide - we can discuss how absurd it is for the LAT or any other journalistic organization to be sending out corrections for an estimate 4% different than the first published estimate later - is very impressive. A summer number for a top franchise in ...

Who Says Gossip Doesn't Pay
When writers, particularly on the web, are accused of quid pro quo on ad sales, I don't like it... unless there seems to be a clear correlation. After all, having an ad sales division is quite unusual for websites that aren't under major corporate ownership and everyone needs to eat. But ...

Not Sure Why, But...

20 Weeks To Oscar - 17 Weeks To Go
The Drip, Drip, Drip The main variation in the 2009/10 Oscar season that keeps getting discussed is the change to 10 nominees. And it's not insignificant. But as the Chinese curse goes, "May you live in interesting times." As the Academy made this change, the economy of the film ...

Screen It 2k+9
I don't want to start reporting every DVD that hits the porch as though it is news, but with WB, Focus, Sony, Fox Searchlight, Sony Classics, and Magnolia landing with Academy members so far, it is interesting, I think, that WB decided not to ship The Hangover , though there will be Globes ...
