In recent years, there have been a fair share of "favorite nominees" -- those ladies who have proven to be generally much more popular among the blogosphere and Oscar/film freaks in their respective years. These performances were either considered "robbed" of the award, or they just simply have a huge, devoted fan base...and in 2001 one nominee (more than the others) fits under this coveted "general favorites" category, -- one that Andrew has proudly...

When I was a kid I enjoyed watching Annie on VHS over and over again, just loving every minute of the big, lavish musical and having the time of my life. I remember having the clamshell video and always watching it with friends and family -- even buying the soundtrack which somehow was not yet out of print. Then in 1999 when Disney released their maudlin and horridly uninspired version I would endlessly compare and contrast the two (at the time I...

I thought up an idea to honor those especially favorite characters that you just love watching over and over in movies, whether they be heroes/villains to fun sidekicks and everything in between. If you want to join in on the fun, all you have to do is for each day pick a new character to post about in separate posts that just gives a little background on why they are favorites of yours and maybe a description of the character. It's not really like a meme where your restricted by some criteria -- just do it how you want. I'll of course be doing...
So I was checking StinkyLulu's blog and I soon discovered his very last post.I read it, and I was stunned to be honest. In this thought out post, he explains how a culmination of several different factors caused him to shut down and block his passion and drive for continuing his totally and utterly amazing blog. It is incredibly sad for me and every other devoted fan and reader in the film blogosphere who just couldn't wait for what 'ol StinkyLulu would come up with next. Like many others, StinkyLulu's blog was the main reasons about why I...
....Camp Rock 2: The Final Jam (2010)I'm here to report that the Disney movie sequel is actually, surprisingly very well done...even for a TV movie. I caught it on demand, and after hearing endless amount of hype, I thought this would be an interesting watch (Note -- I don't watch the seriously unfunny crap on Disney, but after witnessing the tiring cliched original one I was wondering if the House of Mouse could redeem themselves, and...

With a legendary reputation such as those Dames which came before and after her, this next nominee stands among over a dozen cast members, but has an uncanny ability (like a Whitty or a Dench) to stand out above the rest with barely having to "actively" do much. But this Grand Dame never just sits back and wallows, she jumps above expectations and continuously surprises with all sorts of goodies - so its no surprise that with tea at four, dinner...

This decade's winners have been spotty in terms of quality ranging from respectable but flawed to flat-out awful -- but some have found have found a spot smack dab in the middle of this erratic ten years of Supporting Actressing. One of those someones has suffered the "curse" of Oscar by following her career in a disappointing nose dive towards medioracy from which she has yet to escape. She won the Best Supporting Actress trophy when her film hit...
