DVD Playhouse—April 2009

By

Allen Gardner

Milk (Universal) Sean Penn deservedly captured his second Best Actor Oscar (and Dustin Lance Black a statuette for his original screenplay) in director Gus Van Sant’s portrait of San Francisco Supervisor Harvey Milk, the first openly gay man to hold public office in the U.S. Alternately heartbreaking, infuriating and very funny, a film that both captures a bygone era and is still very timely. Fine support from Josh Brolin, Victor Garber, James Franco and Emile Hirsch. Also available on Blu-ray disc. Bonuses: Three featurettes. Widescreen. Dolby and DTS 5.1 surround.

Slumdog Millionaire (20th Century Fox) The Best Picture of 2008 is a kinetic, clever audience-pleaser about a determined lad (Dev Patel) from the slums of Mumbai, who has his chance at literal and financial redemption as a contestant on India’s version of Who Wants to be a Millionaire. Best Director Danny Boyle dazzles »

Kate Keeps the Berlin Film Fun Going Before the Oscars

6 February 2009 4:00 PM, PST | Popsugar.com | See recent Popsugar news »

Kate Winslet waved to her fans earlier today on her way into a photo call for The Reader during the Berlin Film Festival. After posing for pictures, she sat down with her costars for a press conference and then got fancy to hit the premiere alongside Ralph Fiennes. Kate's up for an Oscar for her role in the WWII drama, but she's pragmatic about the odds of winning since she's been nominated five times before but never has won. She said, "I'm so used to it, having gone through it before and having lost so many times. Being in that losing state is something I'm much more comfortable in, in a funny kind of a way." Kate's wise not to get her hopes too high, but after all her award season success so far, her sixth time might be lucky. You could be too - fill out your ballot and »

Darn the Academy! "The Dark Knight" Snubbed! How Accurate Was My Oscar Nominations Prediction?

22 January 2009 5:57 AM, PST | Manny the Movie Guy | See recent Manny the Movie Guy news »

I woke up early, did a live report for our morning show, was very excited about "The Dark Knight," and then...

Nothing...

The Academy continued the long-standing tradition of snubbing action-oriented flicks, even though "The Dark Knight" was beloved by critics and fans alike!

But my second favorite film of the year, "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" led the Oscar nominations with 13 nods including Best Picture, Director, Actor, and Supporting Actress.

I'll post the full list of nominees in a little while, but first, let's see how I did with my prediction.

Hhhmmmm...yeah, I only missed categories where I was pushing for "The Dark Knight" such as Best Picture and Best Director.

Heath Ledger, as predicted, received a Best Supporting Oscar nomination, and it's pretty safe to say, he'll win!

Let's scroll down on my prediction I posted yesterday:

Best Picture

"The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button," Kathleen Kennedy & Frank Marshall, »

Cinema release inspirations including The Spirit

2 January 2009 1:57 AM, PST | Boxwish.com | See recent BoxWish news »

And so as the festivities die down and Christmas feels like it was simply ages ago, we enter into a new year. Sure, you’re broke after over-spending on presents, feeling heavy after too much Christmas pud and dreading the dark mornings minus the glow of the twinkling fairy lights but Happy New Year! For many this will mean a return to work on Monday as the weekly slog starts over again, however before you get glum at the prospect there are just a few days of fun to be had and so spend them wisely. Might we suggest a trip to the cinema? There’s something for everyone with stylised comic book action, provocative drama and a historical biopic. How’s about that for dispelling those post-Xmas blues?

If you see… The Spirit, a comic book crime caper starring Gabriel Macht as a cop that comes back from the »
