Crossing my fingers

The Oscar nominees are announced in a week or two and hopefully a surprise nod will go to the great Laurent. Damnd Weinstein who first campaigned her at the leading category then later the supporting causing confusion!

Mo'Nique oscar tactic?

In the last couple of week Mo'Nique has got a little "backlash" why?
Because she isn't campaigning, her decision not to show up at the NYFCC ceremony, her reason was something with her family to do, so it will probably not hurt her chances. But also that she asked former Oscar nominees what and Oscar does financially.

Well I think all these things are a campaign in it's own way, remember George C. Scott. He said that he didn't want the award, which led to more publicity and after all an Oscar, maybe he actually wanted the Oscar?

Now It's Official:

vs.

Who's the best?

Godmorgon!

Nu tänkte jag tips er om en komedi!

The proposal
& den handlar om..
Margaret Tate (Sandra Bullock)som är en tuff chef som ingen rår på. Eftersom hon är från Kanada kommer myndigheterna henne på spåren, och hon måste deporteras tillbaka till sitt hemland. Enda lösningen på problemet är att hon gifter sig, och eftersom hennes assistent Andrew (Ryan Reynolds) finns nära till hands, råkar det bli honom. Det nyblivna paret utsätts för många prövningar, bland annat ett besök hos Andrews familj i Alaska...
mer säger jag inte, än att ni bör kolla in den =D
vi hörs!

Bright Star

I REALLY want to see it! This seems like one of these movies critics will revalue in 50 years and then call it a masterpiece.

Highly Recommended

If you feel that this weeks releases was quite uninspiring or not just good enough. Then I recommend you this french piece of gem. Summer Hours. It evokes the exactly right emotions. Edith Scob and Juliette Binoche is splendid in their roles and fully deserving of award attention, though the won't get any... :(

Natt bloggning!

Inte länge sen sist ju :)

Tänkte tipsa er om en film jag såg för drygt 3 veckor sen.
Nämligen Paranormal activity, som får en riktigt rädd.

Den handlar om...
Katie och Mica, som tycker att dom upplever underligga saker i huset.
Så som knarrande dörrar, fot steg i trappan, och andra ljud.
Till en början tror Mica att det är barnen i huset brevid som håller på och skrämmer Katie..
Så en dag beslöt han sig för att köpa en videokamera fast besluten om att dokumentera spöket, demonen, inbillningarna eller vad det nu kan vara. Så dom sätter upp kameran i sovrummet.
Mica resonerar att ''I videokameran kommer verkligheten att synas och det är först när man har koll på den som man kan göra något åt saken''

Värt att ge filmen en chans, iaf för dom som kan sova sen efter ;)

Animated Short - The Cat Piano

Since the shortlist for Best Animated Short was revealed I decided to watch on of the listed "The Cat Piano", you can all watch it at Youtube.

It's an incredible piece of work that would work greatly as an animated motion picture. The animation was also splendid.

Many extra points for the voiceover... loved it.

News New News

Today it was announced that Winona Ryder and Barbara Hershey will star together in "Black Swan". The Film where Natalie Portman and Mila Kunis is portraying ballerinas. The Film is directed by Darren Aronofsky.

Cannot Wait! :D

Then to a sad new, that was announced around last week as that Joe Wright (Atonement) WILL NOT direct "My Fair Lady" it was just a rumour :(. It also makes me worry if Knightley also is a rumour (Hope Not!)

Then to another good new. The Role Charlize Theron (Monster) dropped out of in "The Danish Girl" is now taking over by Gwyneth Paltrow (Shakespeare in Love). Cannot wait for this picture neither both Kidman (Moulin Rouge!) AND Paltrow will be juicy.

Everlasting Moments

To everyone, it's only 2 months til all yours end-year list will be made and finished. Please watch Everlasting Moments before you do it, it's a wonderful film deserving of everyones recognition.

Julie & Julia

Yesterday I watched Julie & Julia. It was a very enjoyable movie, maybe not a masterpiece but still a wholesome and fun movie. Meryl Streep truly was Julia Child and gave probably one of the best female leading performance of the year (still haven't decided if she's better than Gainsbourg). Stanley Tucci had his own while playing against Streep and was a lot better than he was in "The Devil Wears Prada". Amy Adams gave a pretty safe and charming turn, but nothing we haven't seen from her before. Also the score was superb!

Be Italian!

Penélope Cruz

Remember for some years ago when nobody likes Cruz, now it all suddenly changed. EVERYONE loves Cruz. Her year in 2008 was great, and so will the rest of 2009 also be. She was very good in "Broken Embraces", not "Vicky Cristina" great but still very good.

Well she's currently the front-runner for almost everyones sexpot of the year award :P

Avatar: Movie of the Decade?

Avatar will be released in December. I JUST CAN't WAIT ANYMORE! The second trailer made me believe this would be a masterpiece. It's the movie event of the decade easily, name any other movie that has been as hyped in this whole decade! The Lord of the Rings is the only close to this!

Top 10 so far
