And finally, the last eight categories: MAKEUP Nominees: La Vie en Rose Norbit Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End I've seen only Pirates here. WILL WIN: Hmmm. I can't believe Norbit was nominated for anything, even if it did have good makeup. I mean, seriously. "Academy Award-nominated Norbit"...
Not to kill the suspense, but really, I was pretty much okay with everyone who won an Academy Award last night...with a few slight exceptions. No, I didn't actually watch the show (I went to an evening show of Be Kind, Rewind and then watched The Guns of Navarone throughout the remainder of the...
Okay, continuing the last post, eight more pointless Oscar predictions! ORIGINAL SCORE Nominees: Atonement The Kite Runner Michael Clayton Ratatouille 3:10 to Yuma Okay. Of these, I've seen ... four! Atonement, Michael Clayton, Ratatouille and Yuma. And I have no idea which score was best. I do...
One thing that I love about Portland is all the movie theaters. I love going to the movies. Portland is a great city for movies because there are a lot of people that love movies here and a lot of theaters. That means that lots of movies come here. I am going to do two things here. First I am going...
Waking up without jackhammers at my head is still a novel experience. I refer of course to horrible road noise at my former digs that went on and on and on and on and on and on and on. Much like that sentence. No wonder I was a total wreck. Speaking of wrecks, one of my coworkers, the most immature...
The Academy Award or the Oscars, as it is prevalently known, is the most watched and highly anticipated event that gives homage to the best of the best in the film industry each year. Now on its 80th year, the ceremony will be held on February 24 with Comedy Central’s Jon Stewart as host. So who...
If you've spent any significant amount of time around Dabysan, you have no doubt heard him offer the (often unsolicited) opinion that Oscar's snub of Martin Scorsese and "GoodFellas" is the greatest injustice in the history of the Academy Awards. He's wrong, of course. Not so much about the...
Last night were the Oscars I saw many of the winning events. I missed the best picture, best male actor, best director cause it was late and I had to wake up early [damn it after seen the whole show I missed the important part... *sigh*]. The winners were: Best Picture: No Country for Old Man Best...
The Academy Awards is the biggest celebrity back patting event out there but everybody seems to actually care about it, so here are my picks: Best Picture: No Country for Old Men The only movie nominated that I have not seen is Atonement because I think it looks pretty boring. I think it should be a...

I am going to boldly predict how the Oscar's will turn out. This usually means I will fail miserably and this will be on the Internet forever to my eternal shame and embarassment. BEST PICTURE Who will win: No Country for Old Men Who should win: Juno Dark Horse: Michael Clayton. I personally think...

The day I left for the beach, I wandered down to my local bookstore for a crossword magazine. As I stood in front of the periodicals, I noticed that the latest issue of Rolling Stone had a blurb on the cover about one of the greatest motion pictures of all time. I thought about buying a copy, but...
2008 OSCARS - NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN BIG WINNER Results at the Oscars were as predicted by experts where 'dark' themed movies conquered most of the awards, with No Country For Old Men leading. The movie won Achievement In Directing (Joel & Ethan Coen), Best Adapted Screenplay and ultimately the...
Here is a quick round-up of movies I've seen in the past week or thereabouts. I am lazy, and so I'm cleaning the slate with this entry that's made up of little more than notes. No Country For Old Men (Joel Coen and Ethan Coen, 2007)A lot funnier than I expected it to be. Best dog chase in cinema...
Watched the Oscars on Sunday. Most years, I've seen several of the nominated films. This year, I've seen only two: La Vie en Rose and No Country for Old Men. I loved the former, and was certain, despite the long odds, that Marion Cotillard would win the best actress award. She was absolutely...
Sean opines... Joel and Ethan Coen are one of the best director/writer teams ever. Their films have become ones that everyone remembers even though not always universally celebrated. Raising Arizona caught my attention first. "Son, you got a panty on your head." and "Now you take that diaper off...
Two (okay, technically three) artists whose work I enjoy and respect immensely originally hail from Minnesota. It's possible you are not aware of their roots, though, because they don't come across as total doofuses. Most of the time. They have their moments, though, and while I won't say the...
