With the Internet, it is no longer necessary to go to a theater to see the must-see coming attraction, and I genuinely miss the days when I would watch Entertainment Tonight hoping for a sneak peak at a major preview.

The fact that it is considered preposterous for a writer to not dismiss Bay's work in the most vehement of terms points up a dramatic disconnect between the critical community and the movie-going audience.

The Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences and ABC announced today that the Oscars will expand its Best Picture list to 10 films for next year's ceremony.

As much as I enjoyed Star Trek, it was a guilty pleasure. Here was yet another movie that was devoted to selling us something we already had.

Unfortunately, most of that which intrigues one intellectually and moves one emotionally is missing in the fourth entry in the franchise, X-Men Origins: Wolverine.

There has been a lot of press about audiences seeing the movie more than once, but that would really only reward aesthetes and those who found the basic plot incomprehensible the first time.

Watchmen lays out and alternate America in a stunning opening sequence that presents the 20th century as a relentless slog of war and murder. If hope is on the menu, it's in short supply.
Scott Mendelson | Posted 04.04.2009 | Entertainment
The production is handsome, the acting is exceptional, and the special effects are mostly effective. But, at the end of the day, Watchmen is not an exciting story.

Could we just keep Tina Fey and Steve Martin, and send everyone else home? "Don't fall in love with me," said Martin. Sorry, Steve. You're 35 years too late.

If for some reason any of the other actors win Best-Supporting Actor, they'll be viewed as that A-hole who deprived Heath of the posthumous honor.

Based on one of the most collected and memorable comic book runs in history, the movie Watchmen tries to be all things cosmic and ambiguously moral to all of us.

It's been fairly easy to predict the Oscars over the past few years. Sadly, this year's contest seems to be no different.

To a psychologist -- like a film critic -- it's praiseworthy when someone is able to balance positives and negatives in the same emotional scene.

Why would anyone live in Gotham City? Well for one thing, for The Theater. The low melanoma rate. The restaurants are legendary. And you can still find a reliable butler.

Let me put this is as simply as possible: The Dark Knight was not a great movie. It was only half a good movie.

Melissa Leo is now an Academy Award-nominated actress. Ladies and gents, Melissa Leo, who has struggled to find decent roles in the past ten years now has an Oscar nomination.

If you don't agree with my "Forgotscars" nominees, add your own. Vote by February 21, the day before the real Oscars, and let the Academy know they're not the only show in town.
