Not Best Picture: The Curious Case of Benjamin Button Not Best Picture: The Curious Case of Benjamin Button
Cross posted here. You’ve already heard my complaints about Ben Button, so it’s really no surprise that I don’t think it deserves to win Best Picture. I’ve already called this movie an “emotional molestation,” the kind of movie that forces you into a corner where...

Cross-posted at Filmicism For the next week, let’s do a little hateratin’ on the best picture nominees, shall we? I’m going backwards in ranking (worst to first), so let’s start with the bottom spot on my list, Frost/Nixon. I’ve been pretty open about my love for Frost/Nixon....

Hippies, Liberals, and Young Progressives Flood DC! Hippies, Liberals, and Young Progressives Flood DC!

Waltz With Bashir [movies] Waltz With Bashir [movies]
It’s pointless for me to laud Waltz With Bashir in a review. The simple truth is that this movie should honestly be seen by everyone. The documentary is a self-reflection of filmmaker Ari Folman’s experiences as a young man in the Israeli army and the events that unfolded in the 1982 Lebanon...
