BEST PICTURE PREDICTIONS 2010!

Well it's finally time to make the last set of predictions for the biggest award in the Oscar ceremony; Best Picture. I had to wait until the Golden Globe and Critic's Choice Awards weekend was over to make my final decisions, but I think these will be pretty accurate.

-The Social Network
-The Kids Are All Right
-The King's Speech
-The Fighter
-The Town
-Toy Story 3
-True Grit
-Black Swan
-Inception
-Winter's Bone

Since "127 Hours" has not been getting much love from the critics, I believe the almost unknown indie "Winter's Bone" will pull off a nomination. Other choices might include the films:
-Blue Valentine
-Rabbit Hole
-Another Year

I am very much awaiting the nominations on January 25th and will (hopefully) post them on Tito's Topics!

THOUGHTS ON MICHAEL CLARKE DUNCAN

Image
Reporting on every celebrity death would be tireless, constant work I don't know that I could do.  News anchors have to report on it, journalists...but I'm not sure I could do it.  The sadness and confusion of a celebrity death can unite people (see Michael Jackson's death) in mourning of that person, and that's what I think is really important to do now.  Sadly people will forget about Mr. Duncan's passing in a week, consumed with other news being shoved down their throat.  But the beautiful thing about an actor passing is that their legacy can always be carried on in the films they appear in, and that will never end. Oscar/Golden Globe nominee Michael Clarke Duncan died on September 3, 2012.  I turned on the TV to CNN to find this news, and it just broke me.  Being a movie critic means you get crucified if you haven't seen a certain movie in popular favor.  I hate when I tell people I'm a movie fan, and follow it up with "Oh, but I haven't see...

THOUGHTS ON TOM HARDY

When things become a sucess, I don't know, I feel like I missed them, I blink, and all of a sudden they're a huge success.  Like the TV show "Modern Family."  I decided I'd give it a chance because I love Ed O'Neil from "Married...with Children," and of course the pilot killed.  By the end of the first season people were declaring it one of the best sitcoms ever, it had enormous Emmy buzz...and I just feel like I missed the moment where "Modern Family" became this massive success.  I love the show though, it's one of the few new things on TV I watch nowadays.  That's why I feel accomplished when I'm able to see a superstar being born in Tom Hardy when I watched "The Dark Knight Rises" last week.  "Inception" already made him a breakout star back in 2010, but his performance as Bane really cemented his celebrity status.  I don't even like that word "celebrity," it cemented his status as a gifted,...

REVIEW: OZ THE GREAT AND POWERFUL

It's been a while since we've seen old James Franco in something big.  I tried to think back....and flashbacks of the Oscars, ones that I've tried to suppress for going on three years now.  After a bit of crying and some warm milk I felt better and thought of what movies he'd been in; "Rise of the Planet of the Apes."  He and the girl from "Slumdog Millionaire" were perfectly fine in that...but they were both completely upstaged by the main ape that ignited the revolution: Andy Serkis as Caesar.  I'm sad to report, ladies and gentleman, that James Franco has once again been upstaged by a motion-capture monkey, this time voiced by Zach Braff. Franco better realize this trend before he signs up to do a "King Kong" remake, and perhaps take some lessons on how to be less of a stiff when the cameras roll.  We all can recall the charismatic showman who appeared behind the curtain at the end of the 1939's "The Wizard of Oz."  H...
