The Coen Brothers lead the charge last night at the 80th Academy Awards, topping the lists with four wins for No Country For Old Men, including Best Director(s), Best Film, Best Supporting Actor for Javier Bardem and Best Adapted Screenplay. Coming in second was not There WIll Be Blood or Atonement but rather The Bourne Ultimatum, which sneaked in with a trio of technical awards for Editing, Sound Mixing and Sound Editing.
PT Anderson's effort didn't go unrewarded though, taking cinematography, while Daniel Day Lewis surprised precisely no one by bagging Best Actor. Marion Cotillard did raise a few eyebrows, edging out favourite Cate Blanchett and snatching Best Actress for La Vie En Rose, while Tilda Swinton managed a similarly unexpected winwith Best Supporting Actress for Michael Clayton.
Religious leaders let out a collective sigh of relief as Norbit lost out on Best Make-Up, having declared that such an event would usher in the last days and form the final sign of the apocalypse.
to my post above.
i]were e of positve reviews on imdb around lunchtime but they've been removed. The LucasLawyers must be rattling thier lightsabers. If so though they're not just removing anything negative. Make of that what you will.

If Indiana Jones spent 9 hours walking across New Zealand and back I'd still love it.
It's Indiana or crying our loud.
I can't wait despite what that fat ginger bloke says.

Cheers Scruffybobby, you made my day.
mine.
It's going to be going back to an old school way of making an action film. It wouldn't work if they made it like they make action films today. It wouldn't be an Indiana Jones film. I remember reading Lucas himself was worried over people expecting "the second coming" when all it is is another Indiana Jones adventure.
It's going to be great fun just like the others. I'm confident in that. ... Read More
Cheers Scruffybobby, you made my day.
Back on topic, I'm encouraged by the fairly uninspiring trailers. It means that there's loads of shots that Spielberg's keeping up his sleeve. Also, I'm sure Spielberg's films never get many preview screenings. Everyone was worried that War of the Worlds was a turkey because no-one reviewed it up until about 2 days before release, and while it was no classic, it certainly wasn't shit.
I predict 4 stars across the board (although that w... Read More
Once again my avatar drags a thread off topic.. just type "Reon Kadena ipod" into youtube and enjoy.
Back on topic there's 2 reviews on IMDB by people who have claimed to see the film early and they are both very positive. The only thing to do is see the film yourself and fuck what anyone else thinks. That's what the majority of the public are goung to do anyway. I doubt your average punter has ever heard of aintitcool let alone cares what they think about anyt... Read More

be a solid film geared towards 'milking' the younger audience and not made for the older generations who saw them first time round.i]With shifts in this direction there is always dissapointment, sit, watch, enjoy, it's the only way.ote]

You know what will be more entertaining than watching a new Indy movie?
Seeing this forum if Empire doesn't give the film at least 4 stars. ote]
or if it gets three stars....cue 20 odd pages of "i cant believe empire only gave Indy 3 stars!! it deserves at least 4.3 stars....empire are so biased!! how dare they have an opinion that doesn't concur with mine!!" etc etc it'll be just like the speed racer and iron man review thread... Read More

What gets me about all this is that it's now being reported in newspapers (it was in the sodding Metro today) and the only quotes pulled are from the 2 - that's right, 2 - negative reviews and no one is even mentioning the 2 positive reviews. It's an even split right now and it would be just as easy to spin an article about how Indy is being well received as it is to write on saying how it's being slammed. Jesus, the Metro caption to the photo was that the film is a flop! Based on quotes pulled... Read More
According to that locked thread on Musings, some more negative reviews are out.
I take it Empire are locking any threads that bad mouth Indy (kidding). p;
Still seeing it though - as I keep having to say not to look like a troll. ... Read More
This is probably old news that i've stumbled across later than everyone else, but what is exactly is '2009: a true story'? I've watched all the online episodes so far, and i'm presuming its meant to get us excited for some cloverfield-style new film, but it could easily be a taster for a tv series or just a short online series in itself (in which case i apologise for putting this entry into this movie news forum). I'm not hugely impressed by the look of it, but its an interesting idea. Has... Read More
The only thing that will ruin it for me is if that god-awful oneliner we saw in the first teaser is left in the film ... You know the one, he swings, misses the back of the car and falls on his arse in the cab of the truck...
"Damn, that looked closer!"
NO NEED!
If thats still in the film, I will be sorely disappointed! Other than that, I'm gonna see it, probably gonna enjoy it, but I'm not giddy as anything about it yet! ... Read More
I'll be there opening day. I've just checked my local Cineworld and they have 15 showings on opening day! The first one is at 10:30am which I'll probably make. If it's decent I'll probably see it twice incase I miss something first time. ... Read More
