2011 Oscar Nominees for Short Film (Live Action) Review
The nominees are all good even if there isn’t a star that far outshines the rest.
The nominees are all good even if there isn’t a star that far outshines the rest.
The cow fails to jump over the moon in this slight indie that focuses on a two young folks who have been recently dumped by their respective partners.
Denzel Washington and Ryan Reynolds bring their "A" game to this relentless, knock-down-drag-out action flick.
A female soldier returns from war to find that her views of her life and town have changed. Other than a swap of typical film gender roles, the film offers very little.
Some movies cry out for sequels. Others make you cry when you find out they’re getting a sequel.
It’s the end of the world as we know it, and I feel bored.
When an angry young man becomes and angry young superhero, this mildly clever action flick devolves into silliness.
Part horror story, part survival tale and part group therapy session, it’s as much about the beast within as the one lurking in the shadows.
This thriller’s twisty, predictable plot can’t sustain its one-trick premise.
It’s reaction time. Lexi gauges the 2012 Academy Award nominations.
