Savages is an Oliver Stone 2012 movie release with a nice 6.5 imdb rating. I wish I read the novel, but now it's too late, I've already seen what's about and there are better things to do than that. It seems my computer problems I had in the last week affected a lot of things, if it's not another imdb glitch (one of the 40 Yiddish words everybody should know) not letting me log into my account. Environmentalist in his soul and philanthropist Ben (Aaron Taylor-Johnson) and his buddy Chon … [Read more...]
Who Deserves to Win?
With this essay post I have separated a new sub category on this blog, the Awards, which will be as you already guess, the Motion Pictures specialized talk. Everything I know related to Oscars, Globes, Emmy, SAG, and such, will be part from this new sub category. Tonight, the Oscars ceremony will take place and I feel compelled to say a few words about it. I don't feel there were many mistakes this year. Ben Affleck and Quentin Tarantino think they were robbed by Best Director nominations, … [Read more...]
Argo
I like Argo a lot. It took awards after awards, I was sure they have a reason, and after I saw the movie, I understood why. The movie is flawless and it is a good movie.

The Master
There are five nominations for Best Actor in a Leading Role and one of them is my favorite, Joaquin Phoenix for his performance in The Master.

It is strange and dark, it is filmed by a compatriot of mine, Mihai Mălaimare Jr., it is directed by Tom Cruise's friend, Paul Thomas Anderson of Magnolia fame. By the way, the premiere was at the Venice Film Festival in … [Read more...]
Beasts of the Southern Wild
The Oscar Night Awards is approaching and this year, nine movies have been nominated for Best Picture. I hope to have the time (and the mood, as a matter of fact) to review them all here. When I started this blog, I thought at old, indie, artie, not box office. That was true until The Hunger Games. After talking my mind a little, I continued with all kind of movies. I said in previous post that I haven't seen Argo, yet. I've seen the Best Picture nominees and more. There are some movies I'm not … [Read more...]
