For Your Consideration: John Hawkes In “Winter’s Bone”
Last year I concentrated my efforts on getting a Best Picture nomination for The Hangover. Clearly, that campaign failed. Regardless, I am rallying around one dark horse contender again: John Hawkes in Winter’s Bone for Best Supporting Actor. Hawkes is probably best known for his role as Sol Star on HBO’s Deadwood and star of the 2005’s indie flick Me and You and Everyone We Know. This year, however, he made waves opposite new-comer Jennifer Lawrence in one of the year’s most critically acclaimed films – Winter’s Bone. This film currently holds a 94% rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
“The Social Network” Coming To DVD and BluRay January 11th
According to RopeOfSilicon we have just over a month to wait to own what seems to be the “movie of the year” on DVD. Really loving this DVD cover. You can pre-order it here.
“Winter’s Bone” Named Best Film By San Diego Film Critics
This is the first critic group to name Winter’s Bone best film over The Social Network. They also named Jennifer Lawrence Best Actress and John Hawkes Best Supporting Actor. Also Colin Farrell was named Best Actor for Ondine, one of my favorite films of the year.
Best Film –
- WINTER’S BONE
83 Screencaps From Terrence Malick’s “The Tree of Life” Trailer
This trailer was everything I wanted it to be and more. Emmanuel Lubezki’s cinematography is as lush and beautiful as ever. If this trailer is any sign of what this film is going to be like, Malick seems to be at his philosophical best. Here’s a gallery of some beautiful screencaps from the trailer.

Movie Quote of the Day – 13 Going On 30, 2004 (dir. Gary Winick)
Matt: Jenna, what are you… Why are you here?
Jenna: Matty, I told you – something really weird is happening. Yesterday was my 13th birthday and then, and then today I woke up and I’m this, and you, I mean – you’re that! You get it?
Matt: [long pause] Are you high? You been smoking pot? Doing X? Fallen into a K-Hole? You doing drugs?
Another Bland Poster For “The King’s Speech”
For one of the top contenders in this year’s Best Picture race, whoever is in charge of making posters for the film sure is dropping the ball.
