Muriels Best Supporting: A no-brainer and a surprise

It should come as no surprise to anyone that Christoph Waltz took the Best Supporting Actor Muriel award for his performance in Inglourious Basterds yesterday, but I have to say I didn’t see today’s Vera Farmiga win in the Supporting Actress category for Up in the Air coming at all. I’m not against it and [...]

Review: Up in the Air (2009) ****

Review of Jason Reitman’s UP IN THE AIR starring George Clooney, Vera Farmiga, Anna Kendrick and Jason Bateman.

Trailer #3 TV Spot: Up in the Air

Another month, another trailer for Jason Reitman’s Up in the Air courtesy of Apple (Update: ok, factually this is a TV spot that ran during the season finale of Mad Men, but clocking in at 2 minutes it still feels like a trailer to me). I’ve liked each successive trailer for this thing less and [...]

Here’s the first official, non-crappy, non-iPhone snapped, non-Cinexpo teaser poster for the comedy written and directed by Jason Reitman (director of Juno), starring George Clooney as a traveling corporate downsizing expert who himself is downsized just as he’s approaching his [...]

‘Slumdog’ Awards Heat Grows with BIFA Wins

Slumdog Millionaire, Danny Boyle’s winning story of the impoverished Indian teen who has a chance to take the top prize on a popular television game show, won three prizes of its own on Sunday when it snagged a handful of British Independent Film Awards including best British independent film, best director for Boyle and most [...]

Trailer: Nothing But the Truth

Here’s the trailer to Rod Lurie’s upcoming Nothing But the Truth starring Kate Beckinsale and Vera Farmiga.

I haven’t really looked at the big picture to see how crowded the actress categories are so far this year, but I think Beckinsale will surprise people who only think of her as a pretty face. Farmiga continues to [...]

The Holocaust – You know, for kids

99% of the stuff I bring to LiC is initiated by me and is filtered through my own interests and my own vision of what LiC should be. From time to time, a publicist will bring something to my attention and I’m happy to pass it along if it fits within the bounds of what [...]
