5 May DVD Titles You Should Know About Including '1900,' 'Castle In The Sky' & 'Flareup'
3 May 2012 9:03 AM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
Well we're back again with the bumper crop of must-have DVDs and Blu-rays for the month of May – from historic Italian epics to underground American sensations to a chilly, expressionistic film noir to movies where Raquel Welch plays a Vegas showgirl fleeing a murderer – we’ve got them all hear for you. So look on below to see what's worth your money this month....
"1900" (1976) Blu-ray
Why You Should Care: At the time of its release, Bernardo Bertolucci's historical epic was said to be the most expensive (requiring the financial commitment of three major studios – 20th Century Fox, Paramount, and United Artists) and ambitious ever mounted in Italy. It's a tale of two friends (played by Robert De Niro and Gerard Depardieu), born on the same day at the dawn of the 20th century, and the way that their lives crisscross, intersect, and diverge wildly over the rocky course of history. »

War Horse Blu-Ray 4-Disc Combo Pack Review And Giveaway
3 April 2012 8:22 AM, PDT | AreYouScreening.com | See recent AreYouScreening news »
War Horse is a tricky film when it comes to analyzing the overall critical consensus. It was nominated for a host of awards, but if we’re honest, it isn’t hard to see that – Spielberg made a movie, it’s about war, here’s a picture – is all you need for that to be an unavoidable result. Critics loved it, especially those who have been around film long enough for it to remind them of the early war films it mirrors with many scenes, but those who didn’t love it, really didn’t love it.
I ultimately had to give it 3.5/5 stars (my War Horse review here), almost exclusively on technical merit, and the odd bit of fun, despite the fact that the film actually kind of pisses me off. Meanwhile, Christopher Lominac put it at number two on his list of the best of the year.

War Horse Blu-ray Review!

The Movie Pool whispers to the War Horse Blu-ray!
The Set-up
The perils of World War I takes a horse on a remarkable journey, where he touches the lives of a number of people. Based on the novel and Broadway play.
Directed by Steven Spielberg
The Delivery
War Horse was lost in the crush of epics and indie favorites in late 2011, but its release on Blu-ray will likely give it the recognition it deserves. It seems odd that a Steven Spielberg film was not treated with more fanfare, and perhaps that is because this is not a typical Spielberg picture.
The man who brought us box office hits like Jaws, Raiders, and Jurassic Park has matured with time, and with him his approach to moviemaking. War Horse does not exactly fit the expected Spielberg formula: it is neither a summer blockbuster or an epic tale of the human spirit conquering long odds. »

The Horror! The Horror! Must-See War Films
1 March 2012 2:56 PM, PST | Moviefone | See recent Moviefone news »
You can't show war as it really is on the screen, with all the blood and gore. Perhaps it would be better if you could fire real shots over the audience's head every night, you know, and have actual casualties in the theater. -- Sam Fuller, film director and author
War is a grisly business, a horror of epic proportions. In terms of human carnage alone, war's devastation is staggering. For example, it is estimated that approximately 231 million people died worldwide during the wars of the 20th century. However, this figure does not take into account the walking wounded -- both physically and psychologically -- who "survive" war. Eventually, war will be our undoing. As Pulitzer Prize-winning war correspondent and author Chris Hedges observes: War is like a poison. And just as a cancer patient must at times ingest a poison to fight off a disease, so there are times »

The 84th Annual Academy Award Winners
27 February 2012 8:00 AM, PST | GeekTyrant | See recent GeekTyrant news »
The 84th Annual Academy Awards ended up being one of the most entertaining Academy Award shows that I've seen in years, even though films I wanted to win didn't. I was rooting for Martin Scorsese and Hugo this year, but I knew that The Artist would end up taking home a majority of the big awards. In the end, each one of these films took home 5 Awards, Hugo took home the more technical ones though. I think it was a pretty easy year to predict the winners.
It was great to see Billy Crystal back up on stage; he really did a great job bringing light, fun entertainment that everyone could enjoy. Crystal was awesome and one of the best parts of the show. The guy is classic comedy. He helped bring back everything that the Oscars should be.
Here's the full list of nominees with the winners in bold. »

The Artist and Hugo Dominate at the 2012 Academy Awards
27 February 2012 6:51 AM, PST | FilmJunk | See recent FilmJunk news »
If, for some crazy reason, you weren't glued to your TV last night watching the Oscars, here's a quick rundown of what you missed: not much. As expected, The Artist ended up winning most of the major awards including Best Picture, Best Director and Best Actor, although Hugo managed to snag a lot of the technical awards. In the end, they finished in a tie with 5 wins a piece. The only real surprise of the night was Meryl Streep's Best Actress win over Viola Davis for her performance in The Iron Lady. Other than that, it was somewhat a yawn-inducing show, with Billy Crystal doing a serviceable but unremarkable job as host. I think the clear highlight of the night came on the red carpet where Sacha Baron Cohen "accidentally" spilled Kim Jong-Il's ashes on Ryan Seacrest. Were you happy with this year's Academy Award winners? What did you think of the show overall? »

84th Academy Awards Winners – The Artist Takes Best Picture

Crowded House said it best in the lyrics “Hey now, hey now, don’t dream its over.” Yes, the awards season officialy came to an end tonight at the Hollywood and Highland Center in Hollywood, CA. Tears, jubilation, substance and style were all memorable moments at the 84th Academy Awards hosted by Billy Crystal. With Sacha Baron Cohen’s shenanigans earlier on the red carpet and no huge upsets, Cirque du Soleil’s performance was the highlight of the evening.
The Oscar for Best Motion Picture of the Year went to “The Artist” produced by Thomas Langmann and Michel Hazanavicius won for Achievement in Directing. The movie becomes the first silent film to take the gold since the original Oscar ceremony 83 years ago when Wings won.

"The Artist," "Hugo" Win Big at the 2012 Oscars! See Complete List of Winners of the 84th Annual Academy Awards aka Tribute to French Cinema!
26 February 2012 5:51 PM, PST | Manny the Movie Guy | See recent Manny the Movie Guy news »
The 84th Annual Academy Awards became a rightful homage to French cinema! "The Artist," distributed by The Weinstein company but the creative team is composed mostly of French folks, took home the big prize, the Best Picture award! "The Artist" won a total of 5 Oscars including Jean Dujardin for Best Actor, Michel Hazanavicius for Best Director, Best Costume Design, and Best Original Score.
But "Hugo" also won 5 Oscars, mostly technical and artistic merits, such as Best Art Direction, Cinematography, Sound Editing, Sound Mixing, and Visual Effects.
"Hugo," of course, was itself an homage to George Melies, the French illusionist who gave us the trippy "A Trip to the Moon."
Both "The Artist" and "Hugo" led the Oscar nominations with 10 and 11 nods respectively.
There was really no "oh gosh what a surprise" moment of the evening except for Meryl Streep taking home the Best Actress Oscar from the perceived surefire winner Viola Davis of "The Help. »
