Missed the Oscars Sunday night? Or having a hard time deciding what the best moments were? Allow us to be of service. Jimmy Kimmel took aim at Harvey Weinstein, gave away a jet ski and popped into a movie theater with some famous friends. Emma Stone supported Greta Gerwig. Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway redeemed themselves, and Guillermo Del Toro double-checked that the envelope in fact declared “The Shape of Water” as the […]
'The Shape of Water' took home the top prize, while Gary Oldman and Frances McDormand claimed wins in the lead acting categories. The favorites prevailed at the Dolby Theatre during the 90th Academy Awards ceremony on Sunday, with Fox Searchlight's The Shape of Water winning best picture. In the top categories, Guillermo Del Toro claimed the honor for best director for The Shape of Water, while Gary Oldman nabbed best actor for Darkest Hour and […]
Well its awards season, but sometimes you don’t always want to be named a winner. The winners for the 2018 Golden Raspberry Awards also known as the ‘Razzies’ were handed out on Saturday, March 3. The Razzies are known for putting a spotlight on some of the worst films of the year and with so many contenders this past year, who would have known an animated flick would reign supreme. […]
The upcoming Marvel Studios crossover film Avengers: Infinity War is set to change the MCU forever, and it will include some major moments and aspects from the comics that fans have been clamoring to see. Ever since the Iron Spider suit was teased at the end of Spider-Man: Homecoming, fans have been curious about what Tony Stark's latest upgrade will include and if it will be similar to the suit from the Civil War comics. A new […]
As I noted in my end-of-the-year movie wrap-up (which in addition to my top-10 list included such idiosyncratic awards as “Best Letter Writer” and “Most Successful Mushroom Recipe”), 2017 was an excellent year for film. And, for the most part, I think the Academy did a good job when it came to Oscar nominations. Four of my top five movies of the year were nominated for Best Picture, and of them I […]
The Light Phone is a cellphone that was released last year with an interesting premise: strip away all the extraneous, distracting pieces of modern smartphones — like internet, texting, email, and photography — to leave the distilled essence of a phone. It could make calls and store nine phone numbers, but that was about it. It was an interesting idea, promising a life where you could remove the distractions of a […]
Well, this isn't going to make Dwayne Johnson very happy. Walt Disney and Marvel just announced that Avengers: Infinity War will be opening everywhere, all over the world, on April 27, 2018. That's about when it was going to open in much of the world in a standard MCU overseas rollout, but the change means that North American audiences get it a week early as well. That's horrible news for A) Dwayne […]
It turns out, one of Facebook’s biggest News Feed experiments last year only made the service worse. Last October, the Guardian reported that Facebook was testing significant changes to its News Feed. For users in six countries, Facebook moved nearly all non-promoted posts from pages and publishers out of the main News Feed into a secondary feed, called the Explore Feed. Predictably, people didn’t want to have to bounce between two feeds, […]
After less than eight years of stardom, Jennifer Lawrence’s career is studded with comic triumphs and depictions of epic suffering. (Her suffering in “Winter’s Bone,” her first starring role, was stirring for being understated, unlike the spectacular trials she endured as Katniss Everdeen in “The Hunger Games” series.) No one can touch her when her gift for sparkling comedy intersects with great material, as in two of the three films she […]
