Check out below to see what else is new on DVD this week…
Surprise Surprise! Slumdog Millionaire SWEPT the Oscars with eight wins, including the highly anticipated award for Best Picture. With it’s outstanding ensemble cast, kick-ass soundtrack, and obviously genius direction by Danny Boyle, Slumdog Millionaire just put India on the map!
It’s been an incredible year in story-telling. Every single Best Picture nominee (The Curious Case of Bemjamin Button, Slumdog Millionaire, The Reader, Frost/Nixon, and Milk) was endearing and had incredibly relevant themes – each bringing something completely fresh to the table. In fact, any of these five films seem worthy of the award in my book.
Bravo to another brilliant year in film. And let’s start counting down ’til next February!
This year’s categories for Best Actor and Actress are, without a doubt, comprised of Hollywood’s elite. Despite predictions, with such an outstanding group of artists – how do you decide who’s performance merits the award every actor dreams of?
Kate Winslet, Anne Hathaway, Meryl Streep, Melissa Leo, and Angelina Jolie represent some of the most powerful women in the film industry. But with an incredibly successful year starring in both Revolutionary Road AND The Reader, from her bathroom mirror with a shampoo bottle in place of a golden statue, to the stage at the Kodak Theatre in Los Angeles…
The MUCH deserved Oscars goes to: Kate Winslet!
So many awards! It’s hard to keep track of who is winning what! But here is the skinny…
With all this talk about Kate Winslet in line to win an Oscar for The Reader a film about the Holocaust, I suddenly remembered Kate on “Extras” talking about how to win an Oscar, where I recalled her saying “I don’t think we really need another film about the Holocaust do we. It’s like how many have there been? You know, we get it. It was grim. Move on.”
You have to wait until about 3:45 minutes into it until she gets into the Oscar stuff, but trust me she’ll keep you entertained until then. And make sure you watch the end where she gives you one final tip on another good way to win an Oscar….
You’ve got Doubt, The Reader, and Gran Torino. Talk about pulling out the big guns. You’ve got some of the top actors of all time, all giving amazing performances in well known, books, plays, etc. Then there is, Wendy and Lucy, it looks a tad slow, but everyone who has seen it says it’s amazing. I know you’ll all be at an IMAX seeing The Day the Earth Stood Still, but make it a double. Something to feed the eyes and your brain.
Here are this weeks movie releases:
Trailers below…
I was absolutely blown away by this film. There have been so many films with promise this year, but this is the first film I’ve seen that actually achieves all it sets out to do.
Even though this is a film that deals with a topic that has been discussed before many times in cinema, everything about The Reader was refreshing. The director, Stephen Daldry, appeared to let the actors take risks and create something new and inspiring. The scenes played out effortlessly, almost without the words or dare I say against the words. This film makes you feel so many complex emotions all at once. The Reader is a rare piece of art that helps you find compassion for the things we were taught to hate without question.
