The list announcements unfortunately starts with the best and most expected prize ending with the "less important". The last on this list, Maggie Smith, is not the less important. We appreciate her in "Downton Abbey", and we appraised her in The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel. The results are taken from imdb.com and I know I'm not the only one borrowing them. I would comment on the votes, when I shall have more data in my possession. As you'll see, my hopes on The Best Film in a Foreign Language … [Read more...]

This year's Globes were … [Read more...]
The Social Network
With all the incredible sympathy feeling The Social Network movie awoke in me, I still don't have a Facebook account. But I want to make a correction. Of course not all the movies nominated for Oscars deserve the nomination. They cheapened this fact widening the number, for the second year in a row. By "they", I mean "the Academy". So the winner will be greater. With the SAG Award now as another push in the morale, the production team for The King's Speech feels closer to the award than ever. … [Read more...]

Darkness and other predictions
I have to say that I am not a fan of Darren Aronofsky’s films or visions, or whatever. There are different ways to express alienations and passion and love. What did I say? Love? Where had Darren Aronofsky showed love? In The Fountain ? So gloomy, so distant… love.

These movies had all a great deal of artistry but they left me with a very sour taste, sad, irreversibly … [Read more...]
