Mix it up, mix it up for an entertaining Road to the Oscar… After Avatar’s win at the Globes (crazy!), Basterds’ win at the SAG on Saturday, and Locker’s win at the Producers Guild Award on Sunday… who’s gonna win? It only looks like it’s a sure thing for Up as this year’s Best Animated Feature (okay…), and The Cove as this year’s Documentary (best? I doubt).

Let’s see… just saw New York, I Love You.
as far as my expectations, I was disappointed… I did like two of the shorts. I was entertained by Brett Ratner’s segment (Olivia Thirlby and Anton Yelchin), but my favorite has to be Joshua Marston’s segment with Cloris Leachman.
Natalie Portman’s segment was okay… but her acting segment was kind of weak — plus, the bald cap she used (coz that was a bald cap, right?) bothered me a little because we know how her shaved head looks like.
Because I wanted to see something new by Shunji Iwai, I had high expectations and was let down. Nothing really wrong with it. Christina Ricci is okay, and I guess Orlando Bloom is okay… but did it have to be him?

I also got my screener for Precious, which I have seen already… but it’s nice to get to watch it on my DVD player. I’m getting ready to vote for Independet Spirit Awards ^^ Second time around!

Amazon hasn’t published my DVD Review of Linda Linda… why is that? It was a perfectly fine constructive critic that would have made Linda Linda a better release. If they don’t publish it this week, I will publish it here.

I’m almost done re-watching Pushing Daisies…
These are my last DVD buys:
Sorry, I couldn’t blog the SAG live…
my internet connection died on me at 8pm, and just got it back.
I was kind of Okay-ish with my predictions xD
And Yay for Michael C. Hall! And Yay for Glee!!
A little boo for Toni Collette not winning though…
And Yay Star Trek Stunts! xD
Bridges, Monique and Waltz become the almost factual winners of the Oscar by now with these wins, which only leaves just a few days before nominations are announced xD
Biggest “I Saw that Coming” Moment was Sandra Bullock possibly winning a Best Actress at the Oscar. I mean, seriously. Really??? I love Sandra Bullock, she’s funny… but get real!
Now, it’s my turn!

Seems like a good Nakashima-san project.
I’m excited for it xD can’t wait for it…
And that Masaki Okada, he seems to be everywhere, eh!?
Check out the trailer via NipponCinema.
Tomorrow’s the SAG Awards, so these are my predictions… with some explanations. I think some of my winning picks are a bit not logical, and this is why I’m explaining xD
Yay for Moon! Yay District 9!
Yay Let the Right One In!! xD
And I’m glad there’s some love for The Road. And Parnassus!
The rest of nominees are your usual suspects…

I saw it yesterday in the morning, and I was very surprise to actually find out it was going to get release here. I was already getting used to the idea of watching it on DVD or cable.
What the title says~
From the 65 eligible foreign films, the top9 have been chosen~ I’m being positive here, instead of saying films have been cut. xD Anyway, as a surprise (to many?) Claudia Llosa’s The Milk of Sorrow (aka. La Teta Asustada) made the Top9, alongside:
At the moment, The White Ribbon and Un Prophete are lock-ins… it seems, so that leaves 3 more spots to fill. Which films will they be? I’ve seen The Milk of Sorrow and commented on them a year ago when the film won the top prize at the Berlinale. For a short review, and an article about the original title of the film plus other Peruvian films check out YAM003.
