The Oscar Statuette | Academy Awards | Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences
2 recommendations
"A lovely Art Deco design from 1929. So sought after, many are not allowed to write the name of this thing in print. Not an easy Statue to buy, like the lottery, you have to win it, well ok, some times you can find one for sale, but, it's better if Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences engraves your name on it."
Dog Day Afternoon
1 recommendation
"I've never found movies from the 70s particularly appealing...all that machismo and political intrigue. But I absolutely loved Dog Day Afternoon. Back in 1975 this was shocking, thought-provoking and intense but today is pretty much exactly what we see at least once a week on the evening news. Part of the appeal of Dog Day Afternoon is that nostalgia or charming innocence of a time when things wer..."
Atonement
4 recommendations
"Stunning, haunting, romantic, heartbreaking and compelling. This is an epic romantic drama that isn't bodice-swellingly annoying or forgotten as soon as you leave the theatre (or switch on the lamp next to the couch). The cinematography perfectly conveys the hazy, hot summer days in the English countryside, then the stark, cold clarity of World War II. James McAvoy, one of the most exciting yo..."

There Will Be Blood
5 recommendations
"I love movies. I love good movies. I love bad movies. I love loud bad movies. This is an ASTOUNDING, quiet movie. The best movie I saw this year. Action heads, slow your roll and switch gears because its time for some food for thought. Daniel Day Lewis cannot be challenged. He's the master of his craft as a sociopathic oil tycoon who will go through anyone who gets in his way. His nemesis, a youn..."
Ray

"It's roles like this that define an actor and Jamie Foxx nailed it. This film is a perfect depiction of the music legend and is brilliant by all definitions of the word. There wasn't just Oscar hubbub surrounding it when it first came out, I have a feeling people will be talking about this film for a very long time."

March of the Penguins
3 recommendations
"Really, it's one of the better documentaries in recent years. I know, penguins walking, how much fun could that be? A lot, actually. It's truly heartfelt and, at times, heart breaking. But, in the end, it is nothing short of magnificent."
Cabaret

"I love Liza in this movie. She is every bit as tragic as in New York, New York, but the film itself is much more entertaining and avoids the doom and gloom."

The film traces the course of their relationship from their first meeting, and serves as an interesting historical document about love in the 1970s.

"Joe Gillis (William Holden), bankrupt screenwriter, hides from car repossessors in the garage of a deserted-looking mansion which proves to be the grotesque home of Norma Desmond (Gloria Swanson), retired silent screen star. Joe takes refuge there, with a nominal job of rewriting Norma's hopeless 'comeback' screenplay. Weeks pass; feeling more and more like a kept man, Joe grasps at reality in the..."

City of Men (DVD)
1 recommendation
"This is the stellar sequel to the Academy Award nominated City of God which is a true-to-life story of two youths immersed in the gang warfare and violence of Rio de Janeiro's dangerous slums. It's an inspiring, highly emotional drama. What's cool is that's based off of a television series with the same actors that's been running for the past few years, so all of the flashbacks are convincing sinc..."
There Will Be Blood - Widescreen DVD
3 recommendations
"Daniel Day Lewis puts on an absolutely stunning performance in There Will Be Blood. On very few occasions have I ever seen "evil" personified this well and this artfully on film. I just never thought you could wrap an exciting plot around oil prospecting, but There Will Be Blood proved me wrong."
