  • Full Cycle YAM – 007

    Congrats, Amy! You’ve made it a year!
    Now please, get to work on that website you’ve been talking about all this time.

    Yeah, where is Nate? Yeah, that. Nate and I are working on something else, which is nothing at the moment… just a random gig, which will hopefully fuel our bank accounts a bit and let us work on YAM fully for a month or two…

  • 15th Critics Choice Awards Nominations

    More nominations. Are you keeping up?

    These nominations seem like a pretty random bunch. Especially considering Nine has had little to no love until now… with 10 nominations (a big WEEEE for Marion!!), and also finally some love true for Inglourious Basterds~

  • More Love for Hurt Locker from New York

    The New York Film Critics also revealed their choices for this year, and Hurt Locker is already a lock for a Best Picture coming newer nominations, which would mean a serious female director for the win… finally.

    Also, more snubs for Carey Mulligan, and mixes for Best Actor. But Supporting are locks.

    Winners after the break.

  • Hurt Locker gets LA and Boston Critics Awards

    Woah. Really? I really liked Hurt Locker, but I’m still surprised at how these awards are starting. We will have to wait for Golden Globe (this Tuesday) and SAG nominations (this Thursday) to find out.

    More surprises? In the actor and actress category~~~

  • Natalie Portman + Elizabeth Bennet + Zombies?

    What?

    Seems like that rumor wasn’t really a rumor.

    Variety (hence, also NP.com) is reporting that the adaptation of Pride and Prejudice and Zombies is a go, and that Natalie will be playing Elizabeth Bennet with zombies running around. Maybe it’s like Pride and Prejudice (Keira Knightley version) mixed with Fido.

    To be perfectly honest, though… I think I got into reading too late, as I do not appreciate Jane Austen as I should. This is the part when Julz gasps in emotional distress. Yes, there are books that should be read when you’re younger, so they make the perfect impact… like The Diary of Anne Frank.

    So I’m so on the fence for this project.

  • Disney Princes Doing the Sexy

    OMG. This is so bizarre. Someone took the time to make these illustrations of Disney’s famous (or not so famous) princes (or even not truly princes). A series which include Aladdin, Eric (from The Little Mermaid), David (from Lilo & Stitch), Hercules, John Smith, Prince Phillip, Tarzan… many more and…

    Prince Edward? Omg, it’s James Marsden! LOL

  • Hana & Alice – Kit Kat Vol. 1 & 2

    Found these ;P I think most of us know that Hana & Alice was expanded from the Kit Kat Anniversary CMs. xD Some cute moments here and there… if you haven’t seen the film, what are you waiting for?

  • National Board of Review 2009 Winners

    I think Julz is going to be VERY happy.

    The National Board of Review named Up in the Air as the best film of the year. And like the Examiner mentions on its article… is this backlash against Mo’Nique’s refusal to promote the film and piss on her Oscar chances? Woah, that’s like a mafia. LOL

    Clint Eastwood was named Best Director for Invictus, but like The Envelope says… Eastwood is a NBR fave. It really IS like a mafia~~~

    Top10 Films of 2009
    – An Education
    – (500) Days of Summer
    – The Hurt Locker
    – Inglourious Basterds
    – Invictus
    – The Messenger

    – Star Trek

  • Grammy 2010 Nominations

    Well, I certainly don’t keep track with Grammy Awards anymore, so should I be adding the event to my Award Season calendar? Or should I just wait to run into it when it’s airing?

    Grammy nominations were announced last night, and I’m glad I’m not the only one wondering why are the Grammy nominations so similar to MTV, the AMA and every other music-related award show? Just take a look at the General Field nominees to see what I’m talking about.
