This is the true story of the Duke of York, also the current Queen Elizabeth II's father, Albert (Colin Firth, A Single Man; Love Actually), or Bertie as his family calls him. In 1930s England, Albert has an important job where public speaking is a huge part of his career. The only problem is he has a stammer, causing him to stutter a lot when speaking, publicly or privately. After trying many doctors to cure him, his wife, Elizabeth (Helena Bonham Carter aka Mrs. Tim Burton; in every one of his films and other films such as Fight Club and Harry Potter) takes it upon herself to find him a speech therapist. She finds Lionel Logue (Geoffrey Rush; Pirate of the Caribbean, Shakespeare in Love) who, even though she's told has unorthodox ways of teaching, decides he's the best man to cure her husband. Logue tries a method of putting headphones on the Duke and having him listen to music as he recites Shakespeare. After listening to himself not stammer, Duke Albert decides to continue with Logue's services. Soon after his father, King George V (Michael Gambon; Also of Harry Potter fame) dies, Albert's older brother David becomes King Edward VIII (Guy Pearce; The Hurt Locker, Momento, and way to young to play Firth's older brother). That doesn't last long, however, because King Edward VIII wants to marry Wallis Simpson (Eve Best; Nurse Jackie) who is a twice divorced woman. The Church of England does not recognize divorce and will not allow the King to be married to her because the King heads the Church. Because of his love for Mrs. Simpson, David steps down making way for his brother Albert. Albert becomes King George VI causing him to want to work harder to correct his stammer. Upon his coronation at the Church of England, Archbishop Cosmo Lang (Derek Jacobi; The Golden Compass, Gladiator) finds out the King's speech therapist isn't a doctor and never had any real training for his career. Logue states that Bertie was the one who gave him the name Dr. Logue when he had rather be called Lionel. He also states that the name on his door doesn't say Dr or have any letters after it. Bertie continues with Lionel's services. In 1939, Lionel helps King George VI through his first war speech that totals 9 minutes and must be announced across the world via radio, and is there throughout the rest of his war speeches.
The King's Speech has the most Oscar nominations, ringing in a total of 12 noms. Two more than Coen brother's True Grit, and not surprisingly Inception and the Social Network are tied with 8 noms. This is the third highest nomination, making the highest 1997's Titantic and 1950s All About Eve with 14 nominations. Now here's the part where I go over the nominations. (1) It's nominated for Best Picture, and has a pretty good chance of winning, but it's going to be really close with True Grit. (2) Art Direction. Well its up against Alice in Wonderland, Harry Potter, and Inception, which were all pretty artsy (or so I guess since I didn't see the first 2) so it's chances aren't very good. (3) Cinematography. I didn't like it too much. Logue's room where he met with his patients bothered me, and that first scene when Bertie and Lionel meet, I know the DP was trying to be creative with the space between the wall and Colin Firth, but to me it was just annoying, besides if Inception is going to win any Oscars, it better be for Cinematography. (4) Costume Design. I thought the costumes were beautiful and really showed the time period well, but this is up against Alice in Wonderland, and Tim Burton always gets creative with costumes and makeup. You don't have to see a Tim Burton film to know what I'm talking about because it's pretty much the same for all. I haven't seen any TIm Burton film since he started putting Johnny Depp in all of them (who scares me) but I have seen previews and pictures and it will be hard to beat. (5) Best Directing. Tom Hopper directed the King's Speech and he's done mostly TV series. He's had 15 nominations ever, and the only film's that got nominated were the King's Speech and Red Dust, but he's had one Emmy win and several TV series of his have been nominated. He's up against Darren Aronofsky who's won 19 out of 32 nominations ever, mostly for Best Director; David O. Russell who's been nominated for an award 12 times, but only won best director twice (for Three Kings and The Fighter) he's mostly won for Best Screenplay, David Fincher who's won 15 awards for Best Director, mostly for the Social Network, and Joel and Ethan Coen who pretty much win every award. (6) Film Editing. It was nothing spectacular. Everything flowed together perfectly but of course you can't release a movie with crappy editing. (7) Music Original Score. I don't really remember the music so it couldn't have been that amazing. (8) Sound Mixing. Again, I think it has a chance of winning a lot, but Inception had really good sound and cinematography so I think it's going to have a hard time going up against that, but I could be wrong. (9) Best Performance by Actor in a Leading Role (Colin Firth) I honestly believe Colin Firth is going to win this. He did an incredible job and played a really convincing King George VI. I think the role took a lot out of him, and he deserves to win it. He did fantastic. Fantastic! (10) Best Performance by Actor in a Supporting Role (Geoffrey Rush). Now Rush did a good job too, he was funny, it was nice. He has a good chance of winning, but I have this feeling that Christian Bale's going to take home the Oscar for The Fighter. Geoffrey Rush was good, but Christian Bale was better, and he had a harder role. (11) Best Performance by an Actress in a Supporting Role (Helena Bonham Carter) Again, this one's going to the Fighter. I don't feel like Helena Bonham Carter's role was big enough to win Best Supporting Actress, I don't think it challenged her enough. Melissa Leo's getting that one. (12) Finally, Best Writing (Original Screenplay) I thought the writing was good. I mean, the stuff that happened, you can't make up because it was based on a true story, but the writer (David Seidler; Quest for Camelot, The King and I ) did a really good job of writing the screenplay. Most of Seidler's nominations came from The King's Speech, and I think he's got a good chance of winning this. He did a good job of bringing the story back and portraying it on the big screen. He made it easier for me to understand what was going on. And back to Colin Firth's acting, I hope he gets the Oscar because he was so believable he almost had me in tears at times. I felt bad for him.
So The King's Speech, the most Oscar nominations this year, and it's worth the money to see it. I only paid 6 bucks but I was very satisfied. I highly recommend it, there's never a dull moment. A great time will be had by all if you see it. Good luck at the Oscars Colin.
Winter's Bone
Thursday, February 10, 2011
Winter's Bone has an interesting story line. A young girl, Jennifer Lawrence (Medium) is forced to take care of her younger siblings and her sick mother while her father disappears. Her father is under suspicion by the authorities for manufacturing crystal meth. When he jumps bail, the sheriff informs Ree (Lawrence) that her father has put the house and the surrounding land up as collateral for his bail, and she will lose it all if her father doesn't show up for his trial the following week. In an effort not to lose her home, Ree goes on a hunt for her father.
Unfortunately, this movie was pretty boring. I was hoping for something like Wild America where she goes on all these crazy adventures to different places. But no. She stays in her own hick town asking around for her father and finding no answers. Also, everyone in the town happens to be related to her and her father, which proves the small town discrimination of everyone being everyone's cousin. And these people have never heard of Southern hospitality. They're not very nice to the poor girl; they even beat her up for poking her nose around. She doesn't care that you guys make drugs, she just wants to find her dad so she doesn't lose the house or kids. I did feel bad for her though, bad that she lives this boring life in the mountains where everyone's related to her. You can't afford to take care of your brother and sister, give them to someone that can. You are all related after all so they'll be with blood. This was a pretty sucky movie. The first one I've seen in a while.
However, apparently my opinion doesn't matter because Winter's Bone is nominated for 4 Oscars. Best Picture of the Year (which it definitely doesn't deserve), Best Performance by Actor in a Supporting Role (John Hawkes; S. Darko, Wristcutters: A Love Story), Best Performance by Actress in a Leading Role (Jennifer Lawrence), and Best Writing (Adapted Screenplay).
Ok so Hawkes was born in rural Minnesota so he knows how to play a hick. I mean, how hard is it to talk in a Southern accent, not speak proper English, and threaten to slap women around in your bare feet. I mean that's my stepdad to a T, maybe he should get the Oscar. Sorry John, but the performance wasn't that great. I mean you were in S. Darko so how good of an actor can you be? Really? That's a no for the Supporting Actor Role Oscar.
Again, born in Kentucky, knows how to play the part. I guess Hollywood is amazed when a young person plays an important role. Well her character was 17, she's 20. She's not a child that can act in an important role, she's an adult that can act in an important role, and we have plenty of those. Come on, are we going to start giving Dakota Fanning Oscars now? Is Lawrence Leading Lady Material? No.
Best Writing? Hmm, well this movie made me NOT want to read the book.
I really thought I would enjoy it like every other Oscar movie I've seen so far, and I gave it a chance, but after a half hour of it grabbed my computer to play Farmville while watching. Sorry, but if I'm not totally into a movie, then it's not great. So I highly recommend you don't see this movie. It's completely up to you, but I'd make sure you see it for free because I'm extremely glad I did.

The Fighter
Tuesday, February 8, 2011
The Fighter, based on a true story, is about two boxing legends, "Irish" Micky Ward (Mark Wahlberg; Boogie Nights, The Happening) and his older brother Dicky Eklund (Christian Bale; Batman). I don't particularly care for films about sports, but this was a pretty great movie. The majority of it didn't even show the boxing matches, leaving more time to focus on the actual story at hand. Dicky and Micky were professional boxers Lowell, Massachusetts. Dicky was even known as "The Pride of Lowell" at one point. Eklund's boxing career spanned from 1975-1985. His most famous fight, which he speaks of a lot in the film, was in 1978 when he knocked down Sugar Ray Leonard. Dicky went on to train his half-brother Micky Ward, who went pro in 1985, went on a hiatus 5 years later. Ward's manager was his mother Alice (Melissa Leo; Welcome to the Rileys), who had seven other children (all women, Dicky and Micky were the only boys). Micky soon meets bartender Charlene Fleming (Amy Adams; Enchanted, Julie & Julia) and falls in love. Dicky is also dealing with a crack addiction, and while trying to raise money so his brother can train year round, Dicky soon gets arrested for impersonating a police officer and resisting arrest, among many other crimes causing him to go to jail. Micky soon starts training with local sergeant Micky O'Keefe (played by himself) and his father, George Ward (Jack McGee; Crash, 21) hires friend and businessman Sal Lanano(Frank Renzulli; producer of The Sopranos) as Micky's manager. Micky is told by O'Keefe, his father, and Charlene that he can no longer work with Dicky or Alice, however. Micky must decided whether or not to continue working with his family despite trouble they cause and drama they bring along with them.
The Fighter is nominated for 7 Oscars, Best Picture, Best Directing (David O. Russell; Three Kings, I Heart Huckckabees), Best Editing, Best Performance by an Actor in a Supporting Role (Christian Bale), Best Performance by Actress in a Supporting Role (Amy Adams and Melissa Leo), and Best Writing (Original Screenplay). OK first, I want to get one thing out, Christian Bale playing the older brother to Mark Wahlberg did not work for me. One reason being, Wahlberg is slightly older, born in 1971 and Bale was born in 1974. You can put all the make up on him, make him lose all the weight and hair you need him to lose, but Christian Bale still doesn't look older than Marky Mark. I'm sorry, but that was the one thing that bothered me, although they both did a pretty good job on their roles. Bale does a magnificent scumbag, so much so he reminds me of someone with whom I work who is probably also addicted to crack. I guess I can let the age difference slide. He might have a good chance of winning Best Supporting Actor. As for the two ladies, my vote is for Melissa Leo. Amy Adams did do a wonderful job though, she's come a long way from her sweet days on the Office and in Enchanted, but Leo's character as Alice was great. She was so funny in so many ways. They both let me see that Massachusetts women don't mess around, but the scene where Leo has to throw the pan at McGee was terrific. I felt her pain and betrayal. I almost feel bad for her.
As for Best Picture, it's a tough call being up against Black Swan and the overrated Social Network, but at least it got the publicity it deserved. I also think it was well written because it wasn't just simply a sport's movie to me. There were times when I almost forgot I was watching a boxing movie. The audience was in laughing a lot more than I expected. The realness of the family drama was portrayed well on the screen. For not being familiar with the story or the boxing brothers, I felt the film laid out a good story so I had a better understanding of everything.
On another note, why does Hollywood have this obsession with hotness? I admit there have been times when recreating stories that Hollywood has been right on with casting (i.e. Jesse Eisenberg as Mark Zuckerburg and Kristen Stewart as Joan Jett) but usually they just try to make the characters look super hott compared to the real people. They showed the real Dicky and Micky during the end credits, and Christian and Marky Mark look nothing like them. They should have at least gotten people in their 40s to make it more realistic. All I'm saying is I hope Meghan Fox plays me in my life story.
Oh yeah, I wanted to add one more thing. I'm glad The Fighter isn't nominated for Cinematography because some of those close up scenes where tops of heads and chins were cut off (for instance in the hotel room when they're trying to convince Micky to box a guy 20 pounds heavier than him) was, I found, quite annoying and awkward at times. I know the D.P. is trying to be all artistic and stuff, but this isn't an artsy movie so please be consistent. Also, another thing I noticed was this film was produced by Darren Aronofsky who, as you may know, was the director for Black Swan. Hmmm, maybe its chances of winning just got better.

Toy Story 3
Wednesday, February 2, 2011
I'm not a huge fan of sequels unless a film is made from a book (i.e. The Twilight Saga, Harry Potter) or if it was originally written in multiple parts like the Saw movies. There are times, however, where a series of sequels help continue telling the story. My personal favorite being the Shrek series. I wasn't too sure what to think about Toy Story 3, especially since Disney has a reputation for making not so great sequels. (Anyone see The Little Mermaid 2 or Cinderella 2? Yeah neither did I.) I was especially skeptic seeing as the original Toy Story was released 15 years before, and Toy Story 2 was released over ten years ago. Still, seeing as it's a Disney and Pixar classic (back when Disney movies were good) and it's nominated for 5 Oscars, I decided to give it a chance, and I'm glad I did.
A quick summary on Toy Story 3. Andy's leaving for college, and the toys worry about their future. His mother gives him the option to take stuff to college with him or put it in the attic. Everything else will get thrown out. Deciding to take Woody with him, being his oldest doll, he puts all the other toys in the attic. Of course being a guy, he puts those toys in a trash bag which accidentally gets sent to the curb for the garbage truck to pick it up. Some how those crazy toys wind up on their way to daycare where their nightmare begins. After reprogramming Buzz, a delicious smelling bear, Lotso (Ned Beatty, Otis from Superman and 2) traps the toys in a makeshift jail, not letting them out. Woody tries to get back to Andy, but is picked up by a little girl, Bonnie, and taken home. Bonnie's toys help him get back to the daycare to save the other toys. The rest of the film is about the toys' adventure out of the daycare, and the dangers they face getting back to Andy.
Toy Story 3 is the classic tale of everyone's favorite toys, the cowboy Woody (Tom Hanks), his partner and best friend Jessie (Joan Cusack), and the spaceman Buzz Lightyear (Tim Allen). Along with their sidekicks Mr. and Mrs. Potato Head (Don Rickles and Estelle Harris; which all you Disney fans know her from the Suite Life of Zack and Cody), Rex (Wallace Shawn; Clueless {the movie} and Gossip Girl), Hamm (John Ratzenberger; everyone's favorite mailman on Cheers), and Slinky Dog (Blake Clark) along with many others. What sets this sequel apart from many others is the fact that the film has the same celebrity voices as the original. So many times I've seen a film (animated or live action) ruined because they couldn't or didn't keep the same cast. No matter how famous or busy Hanks and Allen were (which they probably have been pretty free lately) they still took the time out to voice their lovable characters. Even John Morris has played the voice of Andy for all three movies. (By the way, I've seen his picture and now I know why he does cartoons only. Good choice John). And because of this, I can honestly believe that Andy has grown up.
Lee Unkrich(Finding Nemo, Monster, Inc.) directed Toy Story 3, and he also directed Toy Story 2 keeping with the consistency of both films. I think it's important to keep the director for all films unless there's good reason to change it up (i.e, all three Twilight films have a different director. It's not a coincidence that the acting is improving). Of course it's not that hard to direct carton characters, so let's give the writers some credit for staying with the storyline. Wondering why this Toy Story was funnier than the others? That's probably because the screenplay was written by Michael Arndt who also wrote Little Miss Sunshine. Toy Story 3 has been nominated for Best Writing (Adapted Screenplay).
Toy Story 3 has also been nominated for Best Picture, a title also held by Up in 2009 and Beauty in the Beast in 199, and Best Animated Feature Film. Beauty and the Beast was actually the only animated film to ever be nominated for an Academy Award before 2001. Then in 2001 the category "Best Animated Feature" was added to the Oscar lineup. Toy Story 3 is only the third animated film to be nominated for Best Picture. Will Toy Story 3 be the first animated film to win the Oscar for Best Picture? Probably not, but that doesn't mean it won't win Best Animated Film
This is Randy Newman's third Oscar nomination for Best Original Song for Toy Story. He's done the music for all three Toy Story films and has been nominated every time. He hasn't won, however, so it's unlikely he'll win again. His song "We Belong Together" is up against songs from Country Strong, Tangled, and 127 Hours.
The fifth nomination for Toy Story 3 is Sound Editing which to me is just random.
On a side note: I forgot to mention before that the lovely Anne Hathaway and handsome James Franco will be hosting the Academy Awards this year. Does Franco's hosting risk his chances of winning? Who knows? We'll find out in 25 days.
