The 2011 Oscar ceremony is actually shaping up to be quite an exciting event. Six months ago, I would have predicted an easy victory for The Social Network. I still expect it to do well, but The King’s Speech (which … Continue reading →

My Predictions for the 2011 Academy Awards

Posted on February 27, 2011 by pred3000

If there is one thing that marks this Academy Awards ceremony, it is unpredictability. I honestly have no idea what will win some of the bigger categories. My mind is divided by the strong candidates. This is a good thing … Continue reading →

A Review of Catfish

Posted on February 25, 2011 by pred3000

Many say that this film is about social networks and how it has caused people to become better liars and invent people out of whole cloth. That may be true, but I do not feel that this is what the … Continue reading →

Posted on February 20, 2011 by pred3000

A Review of The Warriors

Posted on February 12, 2011 by pred3000

The thing that impresses me most about The Warriors is how its gritty, pre-Gulliani New York becomes almost a sort of fantasy world. The setting of The Warriors is not the same New York that Taxi Driver takes place in. … Continue reading →

Posted on February 9, 2011 by pred3000

A Review of Let Me In

Posted on February 5, 2011 by pred3000

If you will recall, one of the first reviews I have ever done was a review of the original Swedish language Let the Right One In. I thought it one of the best vampire films I had ever seen. It … Continue reading → Continue reading →

A Review of Machete

Posted on February 2, 2011 by pred3000

I simply don’t get it. This film has absolutely none of the charisma and charm I was expecting after the delightful Grindhouse project. It’s like a joke that stops being funny long before the punchline is reached. Why? Because Rodriguez … Continue reading →
