It may be premature to speculate on this, but everyone else is doing it, so why not me? 2008 is already looking like another one of those years where the top category's a hard-fought battle between a cold, cerebral, subtle, (god forbid) "thinky" technical marvel, and a more overtly ...

David Poland has declared , and Kris Tapley backs him up in the comments section, that Slumdog Millionaire is now the frontrunner of the 2008/2009 Oscar race. All of this worked out in a somewhat rushed negative review of Benjamin Button where Poland also says that the Brad Pitt film ...

A few episodes ago, we talked about Danny Boyle ’s Slumdog Millionaire . We had a few bones to pick with hyper-paced indie romance, some of which caused us to question the value of Boyle’s cannon. As we should have expected, a few listeners were not happy with us dogging the ...

Confession time. David Fincher is my favorite living director, I grew up loving F. Scott Fitzgerald’s work (specifically his short stories), and I love Cate Blanchett in pretty much everything she’s ever been in. And that even goes for her Hepburning out in The Aviator . Oh, and ...

One reader on our sight keeps accusing us of being partisan towards David Fincher 's " The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button ." It's vaguely infuriating because a) we're mostly big Fincher fans, b) have posted about it ad nauseum and c) because more and more it is looking like 'Benjamin Button' ...

Paramount has released a new trailer for The Curious Case of Benjamin Button , David Fincher's film about a man who was born in his eighties and ages backwards. It has a lot of new footage, but sadly doesn't touch on the part where Revlon scientists kidnap Benjamin Button and dissect him ...
