Welcome to the Cinematic Courier. Given the fact that the Oscar nominees were just announced and the ceremony is less than a month away, I felt it was appropriate to start off the blog as a breakdown of the Oscar contenders. So from now until the actual big day this blog will be dedicated to everything Oscar, including commentary on all the categories and some reviews of the big category movies (After all January is not the treasure trove month of movie releases... Sorry Paul Blart: Mall Cop fans but this may not be the place for you). As far as I am concerned the new movie year does not officially begin until March anyway as I usually spend January and the first part of February trying to see all the movies from the previous year that I missed. Having said that lets start breaking down those categories. Enjoy!
Hey Brad
ReplyDeleteI'm looking forward to seeing if you write about movies with as much quality and quantity as you talk about them.
I'm excited :)
ReplyDeleteHey Brad
ReplyDeleteIt's that time of year again? Why 10 movies nominated? Does everyone get to make all-stars now?
Let's get it going!
Reading your blog will save me a lot of time not going to the movies!
So I can sit and read or whatever.

Hi Brad
ReplyDeletehere is my mini-review of "The Book of Eli":
"Waterworld meets Dan Brown, with a dominant theme of Reverse Pursuit of the Holy Grail; i.e., the holy relic is pursuing a location through the main character instead of the other way around -- We are introduced to a post-nuclear holocaustic world where the only bombs still being dropped are a liberal measure of "f-bombs" from the bad guys to make them more bad.
Diagnosis: entertaining with a reasonable dosage of mixed messages.
