State Of The Art Ghost Town To Be Built In New Mexico
The construction of a new high-tech town costing near enough $1 billion in New Mexico is about to begin. It will be fitted with state of the art technology, as well as having all the things you’d expect your average town to contain – running water, electricity, a sewage system. Everything, that is, except people [...]

It is still true that the director is the star of the Best Picture race. And that will be true even if there is a Picture/Director split. Avatar is now the frontrunner in all respects — it doesn’t have that crucial SAG ensemble nod, but perhaps no one expected it to. Titanic was nominated for [...]

At the end of this week, several key moments in the Oscar race will lift off: The Los Angeles Film Critics and Online Film Critics (Sunday), the New York Film Critics (Monday), the Golden Globe nominations (Tuesday) and the SAG nominations (Wednesday). I dare say this will be the tightest week of the whole season, [...]

Like them or not, the National Board of Review is first out of the gate with the top ten films of the year. Even though they have been criticized over the years for being “not real critics” and a “bought and paid for” critics groups — none of that has seemed to matter. In the [...]

It’s a funny season. It’s a quiet season. There are a lot of gun-shy studios it feels like to me. There are a lot of people playing it safe, hedging their bets, not trying to plunge in so soon. Is that because everyone is afraid of looking like “the frontrunner” too soon? Or is that [...]

Take Paul Abbott’s award-winning British teleplay, hand it over to two of Hollywood’s hottest screenwriters (Tony Gilroy, Michael Matthew Carnahan), and this is the best nugget of dialogue you can find to kick off the trailer? Reporter: I heard about _____. Cop: Who told you that? Reporter: You just did. With that, and lines like, [...]

Probably a great many of you will disagree with me when I say that I thought Nikki Finke’s coverage of the Globes last night was funny (though I only agreed with some of it) – you have to check all seriousness at the door, she began her coverage this way: It’s a completely meaningless awards [...]

The Dark Knight Score Disqualified Rejecting the Hans Zimmer and James Newton Howard score for The Dark Knight is nothing new per the Academy’s usual protocol. Anyone with high hopes of bringing home Oscar gold often makes sure their ducks are lined up in a row. But if the film is a bit of a [...]

Asides 
It’s been another great year at Cannes. When the sun finally came out it was like waking up from a dream. There are many things I will miss but I’m glad to be getting back home. Unfortunately I won’t be seeing David Cronenberg’s Cosmopolis, Walter Salles’ On the Road, Lee Daniels’ The Paperboy or Jeff Nichols’ Mud. You don’t plan your trip around the screening schedule, but I don’t know that I could have done it differently anyway. C’est la vie.
Until next time, here are a few departing shots.
