Return of the King stuff |
Yes, I know it's 7 months off, and that people are currently busy
fussing over XMen and Matrix sequels, but I found loads of pictures!
It's the last Lord of the Rings film! (possibly ever)
:-)
Waiting for The Return of the
King.

Blah |

Haven't been to the movies in ages. Probably due to the fact that I live
20 miles from the nearest cinema. Missed loads of good films, too. Lousy
life.

BAFTAs |
|
Since the BAFTAs were moved to February a few years ago, you could be
forgiven for thinking the British Academy are just trying to predict how
things will happen across the water. And this year's nominations were
almost identical to the Oscar noms. The winners, on the other hand, will
probably not all be repeated come march. Best Film went to "The
Pianist" (with Polanski doing well with Best Director too), while
"Chicago" is almost a sure bet for the Oscars. Daniel Day Lewis and
Nicole
Kidman picked up best actor and actress respectively (but I think the
American Academy may go with Jack Nicholson and Kidman). Interestingly,
the two films with the most nominations (12), "Chicago" and "Gangs of
New York" only won two prizes each. So not as predictable as you might
think, which can't really be said for the Oscars.

Empire Awards |
|
Much as I hate "Empire" magazine (for reasons I can't go into here for
fear of being branded "sexist". Damn I've said too much), the annual
awards they give out (voted for by readers *lol*) have grown in
popularity, and now with big brother Sky Movies on board (as well as a
plethora of other sponsors) they're on tv. And worth watching, if only
for all the foul language. Nearly all of which came from Dustin Hoffman
in a half hour acceptance speech for his lifetime acheivement
award, during which he admitted that he's never heard of the magazine,
and when he heard that he'd got an "Empire Lifetime Acheivement Award"
he thought the British Empire were honouring him.

predictable: About Schmidt, Gangs of New York, The Hours, The Two
Towers, and The Pianist. Ceremony takes place on the 19th. The
Oscars,
this year hosted by Steve Martin for the 2nd time, will be on
March 23rd.

Oscar nominees
|
|
Yeah, it's that time of year again, and Lord of the
Rings tops the bunch with 13 nominations. The ceremony takes place on
Sunday, March 24th, but until then, see the complete nominee list and my
thoughts as to who will win, and vote in the poll for best film, all
here.

7 Feb 2002 - Resident Evil
|
Wow this film looks bad. I mean, I liked the game
(for about a day) even though it was incredibly frustrating to play, but
how on earth could they make a movie from it? Just watch the
trailer
(Quicktime 5, apple.com),
and remember, trailers traditionally show the best bits from a
film...
