The Oscars: Final Predictions
By Christian DiMartino The Oscar nominations are coming out on Tuesday, February 8th. As we might know, this is always a subject that I find myself getting really invested in. Even though over time I’ve grown to realize more and more that they’re a load of crap. What do I mean? Well they just seem…

Review: Don’t Look Up
In Forgetting Sarah Marshall, you might remember Russell Brand’s Aldous Snow sang a Grammy-bait song called “We Gotta Do Something,” about saving the world and what not. That seems to be the message that Adam McKay (or, sorry, Academy Award winner Adam McKay, lord knows he wants that known)is selling with his new comedy, Don’t…

Great Movies: Inception
By Christian DiMartino It’s really been 10 years since the release of Inception?

Still, his Oscar for The Departed was very well deserved, not even because the decades of snubbing, but also…

By Christian DiMartino The end is near… I start making my Oscar predictions fairly early, and I have to say: This year is a tough one to crack. Why? Simple: There were too many good movies. Things that once seemed like sure things (Steve Jobs) are out. And alas, it has come to the final…

Why ‘The Martian’ Won’t Win Best Picture, and Other Oscar Predictions
By Christian DiMartino Man, what a year for film it has been. A year so great, that great films like Love & Mercy, Sicario, and Youth will probably go nearly unrecognized. A pity, yes, but it is the truth. This race is all over the place, considering the fact that two of the main contenders, Joy and The Revenant, went un-seen…
