The nominees for the 2009 Oscar for Short Film (Animated) is as weak a group as I’ve seen in many years.
There are no tears, happy or otherwise, in this total clunker.
The setting is 1954, at an institution for the criminally insane where there has been an escape, in what might be Martin Scorsese’s most uneven film.
It’s 1970 in North Carolina, a black man has been murdered, and it’s an all-white jury. Guess what happens.
Once again, Joe tries his hand at picking this year’s Oscar winners.
The great French film star, Sylvie Testud, stars in this examination of whether or not a miracle can occur if you pray hard enough, or not at all.
An interesting take on the young hero saga, made eye-rollingly tedious by the ham-handed direction of Chris Columbus.
Our friends at YesButNoButYes give Hollywood a do-over with this list of films ripe for remaking.
This been-there-mauled-that monster movie gets points for being loud and rather bloody, but it still hasn’t found a way to make werewolves interesting.
