Roger Ebert on the Oscar Nominations

Over at the Chicago Sun-Times, Roger Ebert talks about the Oscar nominations and some of the actors and films he thought should have been nominated but weren't. He makes a good case for Vera Farmiga (instead of Glenn Close or Meryl Streep), but is glad that Demián Bichir and Melissa McCarthy were nominated. As always, Ebert is a good read.

We're preparing a series of posts related to the Oscar nominees in these and other categories.

Oscars

Carl Bialik at The Wall Street Journal wrote an article about the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences' new nominating procedures. Among the changes: votes will be weighted by preference, so films with a small but passionate support have a better chance of getting nominated; and there will no longer be a set number of nominees in the Best Picture category--in order to be nominated, a film must have a certain amount of support, but the number of nominees will range from five to ten.

Read the article here.

Together We Heal

CoyoteMoon Films' Steve Bayless worked on a documentary for the Tucson/Southern Arizona PBS station about the January 8th shooting and its survivors. The program was called "Together We Heal," and it was narrated by the Today show's Savannah Guthrie, a Tucson native.

You can watch it here.

Robert Mac

To anyone who is in Tucson this Sunday, CoyoteMoon Films' friend Robert Mac will be performing at Laffs Comedy Cafe (2900 E. Broadway) on Sunday at 5pm. The show, which is called the Comedy-Magic-Comedy Benefit for Gooder Skools, will benefit the PTA of Lineweaver Elementary School.

Tickets are $10 each, so call Laffs at 32-FUNNY to reserve yours. There is also a two-item minimum.

NYT: Tilda Swinton

The New York Times has a nice interview with Oscar-winner Tilda Swinton. Here's a sample:

“Starting to imagine or to notice how inscrutable we all are to one another, that’s where my interest in wanting to be a performer came from,” she says. Referring to the central incident in “We Need to Talk About Kevin,” and perhaps to many another contemporary horror, she continues: “People perpetrate atrocities and other people say, ‘We didn’t see it coming.’ The idea that people actually wear themselves on their faces seems to me to be less real than what life actually is, which is a series of concealments and containments.

“These surfaces and veils exist,” she continues, warming to her theme. “We take off one for one person, and several for another. But there is always a difference between what you show to others and what you show to yourself in the mirror.”

Three Christmas Movies

I recently watched the 1988 cult classic Christmas movie Scrooged. I had been wanting to see it for many years, but simply never had the chance to actually sit down and watch it fully. Everyone I spoke to told me it was one of the funniest Christmas movies and one of Bill Murray's best films. I agree on both counts. The plot is basically the same plot as A Christmas Carol with a bit of a twist. The story follows the protagonist, Frank Cross, through his past, present, and future. Bill Murray was quite funny though I felt that Carol Kane stole the show in the comedy department. Her portrayal of an abusive Ghost of Christmas Present really made the film. In the end Bill Murray continues to deliver as the lovable jerk. This one will certainly be going on my list of favorite Christmas classics.

When it comes to my generation's idea of Christmas classics, nothing compares to 1990's Home Alone. Macaulay Culkin lived out every child's dream as the rambunctious Kevin McCallister, who is left behind when his family leaves for a family Christmas vacation. Kevin gets into every sort of mischievous thing that an 8 year old boy left to his own devices could get into. Of course the plot thickens when two house robbers stake out his house as their next conquest. Leave it to Kevin McCalliser to make those guys wish they had never set foot on his doorstep. In traditional John Hughes fashion this film is both funny and heartfelt. I can't think of a better movie to watch at Christmas or on any other day of the year.

2003's Love Actually was the perfect homage to classic Christmas romances. It follows eight completely different people through their last month before Christmas in London, England. When it comes to ensemble casts, this one is perfection. There isn't s single actor that I would recast in this film. Alan Rickman gives one of his best performances as the confused husband of Emma Thompson. For Colin Firth, this was the best possible career decision as his follow up romantic comedy to Bridget Jone's Diary. No romantic comedy set in England would be complete without the illustrious Hugh Grant. Hugh did what Hugh does best and he delivered it with spectacular charm. I can't say enough good things about this movie and of course it is a film that graces my personal collection.

Review: The Family Stone

The Family Stone (2005) explores the complicated relationships of family members during a Christmas week when Everett (Dermot Mulroney) brings his girlfriend Meredith (Sarah Jessica Parker) home to meet his eccentric and opinionated family with the intention of proposing. Meredith, who seems confident in the opening sequence in New York, loses any semblance of self-assuredness in the presence of Everett’s family. She calls her sister Julie (Claire Danes) to help her get through the holiday.

The family is headed by Kelly (Craig T. Nelson) and Sibyl (Diane Keaton). Sibyl has promised her mother’s wedding ring to the woman Everett marries, but she disapproves of his choice and reneges on the promise. Youngest sister Amy (Rachel McAdams) also disapproves and makes no attempt to hide her antipathy for Meredith. Thad, the deaf gay son, and his partner Patrick seem willing to give the newcomer a chance, if only because of the hard time Amy had initially given Patrick. Luke Wilson plays Ben, the brother who seems to appreciate and understand Meredith in ways that elude Everett.

The characters make astute observations about each other that suggest a level of insight not usually allowed characters in ensembles in romantic comedies. Ben instantly recognizes that Everett doesn’t love Meredith. Kelly realizes that Meredith’s insecurity suggests that Everett lacks self-awareness.

There are some nice visual parallels in the movie. Ben sees Meredith at the top of the stairs and is instantly smitten; later, Everett sees Julie at the top of the (much shorter) stairs in the bus and is similarly smitten.

When The Family Stone was originally released, a number of reviews expressed the opinion that the Stones were awful people while Meredith was the only well-behaved one. Kelly makes a similar observation about Meredith’s manners in a private scene with Sibyl, who shoots back that anyone can have manners if adequately trained (the actual line is funnier... and crude).

But Meredith’s manners are far from perfect. She justifies Amy’s complaint that she talks incessantly, giving no one else a chance to speak. During a dinner conversation, she makes comments that would be considered politically incorrect under normal circumstances, but which wander into the realm of rudeness with Thad and Patrick at the table. It’s left to Ben to humanize her, and Wilson is perfect in this role. He is nowhere near the best actor in the cast, but he has the right brand of charm to make the character perfectly imperfect.

The main nod to tired movie tropes in The Family Stone is Meredith’s hair, tightly wound into a bun in the beginning of the film and remaining that way until after Ben gets her to drink a few beers. Her hair is let down, and she loosens up. Perhaps it’s expected, but most of the rest of the movie seems to expect the audience to be smarter than that.

This is not a movie for young children, and even some older children may be bored by some of the scenes. Teenagers and adults who like movies about complicated relationships may find this a welcome addition to their Christmas movie traditions.
