Blu Review: Lincoln

6 April 2013 12:00 PM, PDT | Cinelinx | See recent Cinelinx news »

Cinelinx takes in Steven Spielberg's outstanding Lincoln Blu-ray!

The Set-up

The final months of Abraham Lincoln's life are chronicled, including his efforts to pass the 13th Amendent and end slavery, as well as end the Civil War. Based on Doris Kearns Goodwin's book "Team of Rivals." Stars Daniel Day Lewis, Sally Field, and Tommy Lee Jones.

Directed by Steven Spielberg

The Delivery

Steven Spielberg's evolution as a director continues with the outstanding bio pic Lincoln, a film that will likely be remembered as a talky but riveting political drama with an iconic performance by Daniel Day Lewis. Rather than providing a rousing theatrical drama or a historical tale intertwined with the sorrow of war, Spielberg takes a very smart approach to bring Lincoln to life. Using the book "Team of Rivals" as a basis, we see a very human Lincoln through a series of personal and political interactions. »

Blu Review: Lincoln

25 March 2013 12:19 PM, PDT | Cinelinx | See recent Cinelinx news »

I've been fascinated by Abraham Lincoln my entire life. I'm sure it has to do with the fact that he was assassinated and there's quite a bit of mystery and intrigue surrounding his presidency and personal life. He did so much in his terms in office and changed our nation for the better while overcoming all sorts of political opposition. I knew I would need to see Steven Spielberg's Lincoln as soon as it was announced in production.

Lincoln focuses on the man's obsession with getting the 13th Amendment pushed through Congress before the Civil War ended. Abe was honest, but would see his mission of obliterating slavery accomplished by any means necessary. His drive and the toll it took on his family life are explored in great detail.

Director Steven Spielberg takes what could have been a disastrously boring two and a half hours of non-stop dialogue and »

Blu-ray Review: Steven Spielberg’s Timeless ‘Schindler’s List’ Makes HD Debut

20 March 2013 12:49 PM, PDT | HollywoodChicago.com | See recent HollywoodChicago.com news »

Chicago – It’s been 20 years since “Schindler’s List” became a critical and commercial phenomenon, winning Best Picture and Best Director for the first time in the legendary career of its beloved filmmaker, Steven Spielberg. Since then, it’s become something more divisive in certain critical communities, with many writers choosing to hold it up as an example of Spielberg’s weaknesses in terms of sentimentality and cinematic manipulation. Watching it again, on Blu-ray for the first time, those charges seem even more cynically stupid. This is an incredible film, beautifully shot by Columbia College grad Janusz Kaminski, containing some of the best performances in the careers of its multi-talented cast, and timeless in its themes of how humanity can survive even the purest representation of evil.

Rating: 5.0/5.0

The Blu-ray, 20th anniversary limited edition is tastefully designed in that it’s not weighed down with special features. In fact, the »

Famed Cinematographer: 'Life Of Pi' 'F--king Piece Of Sh-t'

14 March 2013 8:50 AM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »

Fun fact: "Life of Pi" won the most Oscars at the 85th annual Academy Awards on Feb. 24 with four total, one more than Best Picture winner "Argo." Which isn't to say everyone in Hollywood was a fan. Take cinematographer Christopher Doyle, the man famous for shooting films by Wong Kar-Wai, who called the Best Cinematography Oscar won by "Life of Pi" "a f--king insult to cinematography."

In an interview with Blouin, Doyle went off on the Academy Award win by Claudio Miranda, in part because "Life of Pi" was created with so many visual effects. (Ang Lee's film also won the Best Visual Effects Oscar.)

"I'm sure he's a wonderful guy and I'm sure he cares so much, but since 97 percent of the film is not under his control, what the f--k are you talking about cinematography," Doyle said. "I'm sorry. I have to be blunt and I don’t care, »

Review: Schindler’s List

3 March 2013 11:58 AM, PST | Comicmix.com | See recent Comicmix news »

History is far more than facts and figures, especially since the text books tend to get watered down by committee or skew to a particular point of view. Instead, history is really the stories of mankind. Who did what, and what drove them to commit those acts? Every era has its known heroes and as historians do their work, it’s also clear there are the lesser known players whose efforts remain equally valuable and their stories worthy of being told. Few events have spawned more tales of heroism than perhaps World War II. We know of the Axis and Allied generals who made bold moves to change the tide of the conflict and of the American scientists who raced their German counterparts to split the atom and harness their power. Since the 1970s or so, more and more stories have been discovered and told, many about those who endured »

2013 Academy Award Winners

25 February 2013 6:39 AM, PST | FilmJunk | See recent FilmJunk news »

If you didn't tune in for the Academy Awards last night, here's a short breakdown of what you missed: William Shatner showed up from the future, Jennifer Lawrence tripped and fell, and Michelle Obama co-presented the award for Best Picture. It was kind of a weird night, but for the most part, the hardware was handed out to all of the expected parties. Argo won Best Picture, Daniel Day-Lewis won Best Actor and Jennifer Lawrence won Best Actress. If there was a surprise, it was that Life of Pi walked away with the most awards (4) including Best Director for Ang Lee. Zero Dark Thirty got shut out of everything except for Best Sound Editing (in a rare tie with Skyfall). Quentin Tarantino was also a pleasant surprise for Best Original Screenplay. What did you think of this year's Oscars? What was the highlight of the night? How would you rate Seth McFarlane as host? »

2013 Oscars: Winners, Surprises, Upsets and Commentary

24 February 2013 9:17 PM, PST | Rope of Silicon | See recent Rope Of Silicon news »

What a night! Seriously, the 2013 Oscars had its share of ups and downs and I'm sure plenty of hatred will be thrown the way of host Seth MacFarlane whose joke selection was all over the place from great to terrible to tasteless to tame, but I'm actually talking about the way tonight's Oscars shared the wealth so evenly. Twelve films won Oscars tonight, 15 if you count the shorts. Argo took home Best Picture, Film Editing and Adapted Screenplay, but in the end it was Life of Pi with the most awards, including the upset over Steven Spielberg (Lincoln). The Oscars often give us plenty to discuss in terms of taste and we all may disagree on many of the overall winners, but I have a much harder time disagreeing when there is no kind of consensus. After all, how often does one single film, over the span of 365 days nail »

Oscars 2013 Live: Winners & Losers Listed In Full

24 February 2013 9:02 PM, PST | Obsessed with Film | See recent Obsessed with Film news »

This evening’s Oscar ceremony is now over, and with the dust settling on the biggest awards ceremony of the entire year, and the winners and losers celebrating and commiserating together, we’ve put together a full list of the winners (as well as the beaten nominees) for this year’s awards.

Jennifer Lawrence and Jessica Chastain nailed the red carpet, apparently, and Sandra Bullock did wonderful things with a diamond hair-clip, while Bradley Cooper and Chris Pine both proved that beards are very much the hot thing right now. But the big events were yet to happen inside the La venue, as the audience sat ready to receive host Seth MacFarlane, and his inevitably cutting humour.

For the most part, MacFarlane was reserved, though a few barbs did land before the end of the night. He played his part also in the excellent musical staging throughout the ceremony, whose highlights featured Shirley Bassey, »

The Oscars 2013 Winners

24 February 2013 6:05 PM, PST | HeyUGuys.co.uk | See recent HeyUGuys news »

It’s the biggest night in Hollywoodland and we’re along for the crazy, caffeine-fueled night. Whether it’ll be Lincoln’s night or a wider net of awards there’ll be plenty to talk about for weeks to come.

If you’re on Twitter then follow us tweet the night away over at @heyuguys and you can keep abreast of all the winners as they are announced right here.

Ang Lee’s Life of Pi took home the most awards, with four statues to its name for Best Director, Best Original Score, Best Cinematography, and Best Visual Effects.

Ben Affleck’s Argo and Tom Hooper’s Les Misérables were next, taking three apiece. Affleck’s third feature took the most coveted award of the evening, very much deservedly winning him, George Clooney, and Grant Heslov the Best Picture award, as well as taking home the Best Film Editing and »

"Argo" Tops 85th Academy Awards! Argo F*&k Yourself!

24 February 2013 6:01 PM, PST | Manny the Movie Guy | See recent Manny the Movie Guy news »

And in the end, it was the movie with a snubbed director that took the top prize. Ben Affleck's "Argo" rocked the Academy Awards by winning the Best Picture of the year award. The biggest surprise for me was Ang Lee who went home with the Best Director trophy for "Life of Pi" while Steven Spielberg went home empty handed. His "Lincoln" still won two Academy Awards, one for Best Actor for the great Daniel Day-Lewis' fine performance as our beloved 16th President, and the other for production design.

Just as I predicted to the lovely Anne Hathaway three months ago, she went home with the Best Supporting Actress trophy for her brilliant performance as Fantine in "Les Miserables." This sort of is a blessing from the Academy as well for turning in a memorable Catwoman performance in Christopher Nolan's "The Dark Knight Rises."

Oscars 2013: Snubs and Surprises

24 February 2013 5:27 PM, PST | Moviefone | See recent Moviefone news »

Let's face it: we actually like it when Oscar night provides us with snubs and surprises. They add suspense to what is often a predictable show, they remind us that the conventional wisdom is not always right, they sometimes result in someone worthy beating someone popular, or they allow us to seethe with righteous indignation as we take to our Twitter soapboxes to proclaim our shock and dismay at the injustice. Alas, Sunday night's Oscars offered precious few snubs and only mild surprises. The biggest outrages had already happened with the nominations, with the omissions of Ben Affleck ("Argo") and Kathryn Bigelow ("Zero Dark Thirty") from the Best Director category. After that, it was a foregone conclusion that "Zdt" would get shafted (indeed, it took home just one prize, for Sound Editing), while it also quickly became a foregone conclusion that "Argo" would win Best Picture despite the Affleck snub »
