  • Play in the Gray

    I’m always for diversity… but when that diversity gets done by diversity, it gets seen by diversity, and in the end… the people that need diversity the most [straight white people, I suppose in America?] never get to watch these films.

    Other than that… I hope I ran into a copy of this — legally, or not so legally… depending on distribution. *hint nudge* online distribution *cough cough* it’s always important to make people watch. Otherwise, how else who other people learn about diversity? Right?

    don’t wanna mark this off as a trailer because I don’t have a graphic…

  • The Killing of a Chinese Cookie

    I haven’t had a Fortune Cookie in forever~~~

    Take a look at The Killing of a Chinese Cookie, for a short documentary that talks about the history of this pop culture icon that is not so Chinese… or Japanese. It’s interesting and funny! Favorite part was the judge’s cookie~

  • 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~~~

  • 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~~~

  • More Academy Awards 2009-2010 Updates

    89 documentary films have been reduced to 15 films. On the race? The Don’t-Kill-the-Dolphins documentary The Cove, which created a fuzz when the Tokyo Film Festival didn’t let them open the event.

    But you know, dolphins are cute this is why it deserves a documentary (and it will probably win an Oscar for it if the cuteness continues).

    I really want to be wrong on this one.

    Food, Inc. is also on the race. I learned something from this one, must admit.

    Check out the 15 titles here.

  • That Was It for This Is It

    I’m an MJ fan, I really am. I bought my copy of HIStory when I was around 10 — the first ever album I received as a birthday gift from my parents — and I’ve been fascinated as a kid since I saw him vanished as golden sand on the Remember the Time music video.

    I was a bit hesitant to watch this because I knew tickets had been on pre-sale for a month, and I’m not the type to compete for tickets. After all, they did advertise “for two weeks only.” I checked schedule online only to find the 11pm shows listed ONLY, so I was pissed. I thought that they were not showing this for two weeks only, but also showing it on midnight shows ONLY, so I went to the theater to watch District 9 instead… to find out there were other times for This Is It — so I watched both.
