Members Stradivarius Posted April 13, 2009 Members Report Share Posted April 13, 2009 Duvido MUITO do Terry Gilliam, tenho os dois pés atrás com ele. O único filme dele que eu acho excelente foi O Cálice Sagrado. 12 Macacos é interessante (mas não muito mais do que isso), e o resto acho totalmente dispensável (adicione aí O Sentido da Vida). Ainda não vi Brazil, mas não tenho muito vontade por não esperar muito. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beckin Posted April 13, 2009 Report Share Posted April 13, 2009 Não entendi o Scorsa fora do top 5 aí. Se o filme for bem recebido DUVIDO que ele fique de fora Jolie e qual a outra? Streep. === Melhor atuação do ano sem qualquer uma perto é Winslet por Revolutionary Road. Melhor atuação da carreira dela... aquilo lá nem Streep fazia na idade de Winslet. É genial a composição... Sobre isso. Eu diria que a Elizabeth taylor (com 33 anos) fez melhor que a Winslet em Quem tem medo de Virginia Wolf assim como a Marion Cottilard (com 31, pra pegar um exemplo mais recente) fez em Piaf. A atuação da Kate é muito boa sim mas não figura entre as minhas favoritas não. Beckin2009-04-13 11:02:06 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Administrator Posted April 13, 2009 Members Report Share Posted April 13, 2009 Rogers e os melhores filmes: Best Picture - April Fool* Predictions *because it's so foolish to start predicting this early April 12th This is only your starter kit. I repeat "only your starter kit". Buzz will soar and drop and maybe soar again on many of these "contenduhs". We know very little before autumn. The only thing we really know THIS early is which films have the stars and the repeat Oscar players behind the scenes. We also can get a sense of which films seem to be constructed for or are aiming at the gold. Those aren't always the same ones that hit the Oscar target. This time last year who had Slumdog Millionaire on their radar? P.S. 1 Though my charts to tend to include less obvious possibilities than some charts on the net, I think it's important to keep your imagination open during predictions -- especially this far in advance when anything is still possible. Last year at this time I correctly predicted 2 of the eventual 5. In 2007, I correctly predicted 3 (my best year for April Fool Predictions). How close will I get this year? Discuss @ THE BLOG P.S. 2 I'm fully aware that my Best Actor shortlist is a mess. Once I got around to doing this Best Picture chart I realized Johnny Depp (Public Enemies) and Javier Bardem (Biutiful) in particular should be much higher. But that's what monthly revisions are for, detailing changes in perception and honing your previous predictions. 1 2 3 4 5 The Human Factor Clint Eastwood (Warner Bros) December An Education Lone Scherfig (Sony Pictures Classics) October The Lovely Bones Peter Jackson (Paramount/ Dreamworks) December Public Enemies Michael Mann (Universal) July Nine Rob Marshall (Weinstein Co) November Pro: Eastwood + Freeman + Damon + Warner Bros + True Story + Dec + Inspirational + Con: Lighter than Eastwood usually goes? How will that invariably shadowy cinematography mix with this topic? Pro: It's already got the reviews and its in the general Oscar vein (period / biographical) Con: Will have to be at least a minor arthouse hit and have critical champs who stick with it. Small. Pro: Based on a popular book and AMPAS not averse to sentiment (plus: grief is Oscary) Con: Could misfire w/ lots of elements competing: f/x, human drama, mystery, after life... Pro: Mann's strengths behind camera + Big Manly Cast (Oscar prefers male oriented stories) + True Story + Depp Con: The Insider is only Mann-directed effort they've truly responded to. Pro: Hollywood loves movies about creative process. Could be big with techs. Pedigreed cast and crew Con: Box office? Comparisons to 8 1/2 can be dangerous ground 6 7 8 9 10 Avatar James Cameron (20th Century Fox) December Precious Lee Daniels (Lionsgate) November Shutter Island (Ashecliffe) Martin Scorsese (Paramount) October Green Zone Paul Greengrass (Universal) TBA Biutiful Alejandro Gonzalez Iñárritu (Focus Features) December Pro: It's been ages since a sci-fi movie was in the shortlist. If Cameron lives up to the hype, that genre bias could be shoved aside. Con: Those biases are deeply entrenched. Plus WHAT IS IT? Pro: Dramas about black illiterate teenagers don't scream Oscar Bait but if it becomes a Oprah cause and critical pet, watch out. Con: Not a typical Oscar topic and no previous nominees anywhere in sight. Pro: Scorsese is a master. He's been in Oscar's favor all decade. Starry cast surrounded by potentially edible furniture (asylum) Con: This might be a little "procedural" or "thriller" for voters who prefer more sedate drama Pro: Greengrass seems like the type of director they'll be eager to honor once he makes the right 'type' of film. Con: Is this the right 'type'? CIA thrillers are not exactly bullseyes with Oscar Pro: Iñárritu seems right up their alley in some ways. Focus knows Oscar race. Con: Much will depend on critical reception and Year End is always crowded with heavyweights --could be hard to get attention Other Possibilities 11 Away We Go Sam Mendes (Focus Features) June Could backing away from obvious BAIT loosen Mendes up enough to really compete again? After Jarhead and Revolutionary Road a few laughs is probable just the right move. 12 Bright Star Jane Campion (No US Distributor) TBA If it's a return to form, expect a distributor to bite and a real Oscar push. 13 The Informant Steven Soderbergh (Warner Bros) October Perhaps too comedic for them -- but then Soderbergh makes fine mainstream entertainment and maybe their pooled mood will be lighter this year? 14 Taking Woodstock Ang Lee (Focus Features) August One should never write Ang Lee out of the equation... though sometimes Oscar doesn't notice how masterful his filmmaking can be (see: Lust, Caution) If this is a hit, maybe 1969 nostalgia will help it win votes with older AMPAS members? 15 Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus Terry Gilliam (No US Distributor) TBA If it's a return to form, expect a distributor to bite and a real Oscar push. 16 Up Peter Docter / Bob Peterson (Pixar) May After WALL•E's snub last year (if it was ever going to happen...) it's tough to imagine that an animated film will ever make the BP shortlist again. That said, I expect Pixar's efforts to remain in the conversation even if it's only in the media "THIS DESERVES IT!" way. We'll see. 17 The Tempest Julie Taymor (Miramax) TBA One has to assume Frida got closer to a best pic nomination in 2002 than anyone expected. If Taymor does something accessible but still weird enough to stand out with Shakespeare, who knows how many nominations she could earn? 18 Where The Wild Things Are Spike Jonze (Warner Bros) October Even if it's great, it'll be an uphill climb to serious Oscar contention. 19 1939 Stephen Poliakoff (No US Distributor) TBA On account of... one never knows. 20 Everybody's Fine Kirk Jones (Miramax) November On account of... if it's sentimental enough to move them. But not too much to be hackish? 21 Agora Alejandro Amenábar (Distributor?) TBA If they're in the mood for a big Roman/Egyptian philosophical epic. But is this period really Baity? Some eras are more Oscar accessible than others. 22 A Serious Man The Coen Bros (Focus Features) October On account of... occasionally Oscar likes the Brothers Coen. The lack of stars here is interesting, though perhaps not at all interesting to AMPAS. 23 The Last Station Michael Hoffman (Distributor?) TBA Every once in a while mainstream directors without much previous sizzle in their filmography end up breaking through. Oscar likes biopics about writers. 24 Broken Embraces Pedro Almodóvar (Sony Pictures Classics) November Pedro will always be in the "great film" conversation. That doesn't always mean Oscar buzz however. 25 Chéri Stephen Frears (Miramax) June One expects the buzz on this period dramedy will continue to be all over the place. Festival reactions are hard to trust for lighter fare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members -felipe- Posted April 14, 2009 Members Report Share Posted April 14, 2009 E Indiana Jones' date=' ET, Tubarão e SdA eram o quê?[/quote']Não sei explicar, mas eu diria que hoje em dia filmes como Indiana Jones, ET e Tubarão definitivamente não seriam indicados, assim como Star Wars e outros. Já Sda (e mesmo Titanic) acho que conseguiram por penderem mais pro lado "épico grandioso voltado para toda a família" do que "blockbuster de adolescentes". --- Saiu o trailer de Antichrist: http://vimeo.com/4062746?pg=embed&sec=#embed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Administrator Posted April 16, 2009 Members Report Share Posted April 16, 2009 Se ela indicou David Lynch por Mulholland Drive, talvez possa abrir uma vaguinha por Lars. Ou pelo menos é o que eu me forço pensar... Eu ainda gostaria de ver o Woody premiado mais uma vez, mas a Academia já o deve considerar uma mera figura do passado. So sad...

Members pantalaimon Posted April 16, 2009 Members Report Share Posted April 16, 2009 É, eu também. Apesar de achar os seus filmes recentes ótimos, e eles ainda se tornam melhores quando você vê o cara com quase 40 filmes nas costas, a idade, ainda produz, coisa boa, mas nada digno de vencer um Oscar por filme ou direção, mas indicam cada porcaria, deveriam indicar mais mesmo.

Members texer Posted April 16, 2009 Members Report Share Posted April 16, 2009 Vicky Cristina Barcelona e Match Point estão nas minhas listas de melhores de seus respectivos anos e certamente mereciam mais prêmios do q filmes como QUEM QUER SER UM MILIONÁRIO?(me desculpem os q gostam, mas para mim foi a verdadeira fraude do ano!). Woody é meu ídolo! Consegue escrever roteiros incríveis sem precisar se apoiar em fontes como livros ou peças, coisa raríssima no cinema de hoje.

Members texer Posted April 18, 2009 Members Report Share Posted April 18, 2009 Tb naum achei a interpretação da Penélope merecedora de um Oscar(tampouco a Adams por Dúvida). Na lista deste ano minha favorita era disparado a Marisa Tomei em The Wrestler. Sobre Vicky Cristina Barcelona, para mim é uma das melhores obras do Allen junto com Match Point sim.

Members MacGruber Posted April 20, 2009 Author Members Report Share Posted April 20, 2009 Was it worth the wait? Posted by Guy Lodge · 3:28 am · April 19th, 2009 When Joe Wright’s “The Soloist” was shifted from prime Oscar territory last autumn to a considerably more low-profile 2009 slot, many presumed that the film was something of an artistic disappointment. However, word also went round that the move was a sympathetic one, aimed to place less pressure on a film that, despite the talent involved, was more crowdpleaser than prestige item. Meanwhile, two diametrically opposed trade reviews do very little to clear up the picture ahead of the film’s release next week. (They appeared a few days ago, but escaped my notice until now.) Todd McCarthy’s Variety pan confirms the suspicions of the sceptics, actually suggesting that the film appears uncomfortably caught between awards-baiting and more populist urges: Neither rarefied art film nor widely accessible inspirational drama, “The Soloist” falls between the cracks both creatively and commercially … Joe Wright’s first American feature has moments of power and imagination, but the overworked style and heavy socially conscious bent exude an off-putting sense of self-importance, making for a picture that’s more of a chore than a pleasure to sit through. Charismatic and dynamic as they’ve been on any number of previous occasions, both Foxx and Downey seem to labor here as they grapple with roles viewers will find difficulty warming to. Downey, in particular, fails to find either outer charm or inner soul in Steve Lopez. The Hollywood Reporter’s Kirk Honeycutt, however, sings a very different tune, describing the film as “excellent, if flawed.” His disagreement is most pronounced on the matter of the film’s lead performances, going so far as to suggest that they remain strong awards contenders: Robert Downey Jr. and Jamie Foxx are on fire in the lead roles: They’re both charismatic as hell without sacrificing any of the emotional honesty necessary for you to believe that these movie stars are a scruffy reporter and a mentally ill musician … True, Academy members tend to remember only the last three months of a year when voting, but these performances are extraordinary enough that the memory should not fade by fall. Honeycutt’s review does end on a pointed journalism-related note, as he suggests that “The Soloist” will be “the last movie ever to focus on a newspaper columnist,” before melancholically bemoaning the supplanting of columnists like Downey’s Steve Lopez character by blog culture. As Kris mused the other day regarding the critical reception for “State of Play,” you have to wonder if Honeycutt’s loyalty to his profession played any role in his review. For my part, I’m more interested in Wright’s next project, but that’s me. ------------------ OFF_1ª imagem do Crowe no Robin Wood do Ridley Scott: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Administrator Posted April 20, 2009 Members Report Share Posted April 20, 2009 Hehehehe Estamos todos divididos, pois eu acho que quem merecia era a Marisa Tomei. Sobre a lista: Jane Campion, Ken Loach e Sam Raimi = hiperestimados (principalmente ela, monstruosa). E Coppola e Gilliam, estes sim, são meras figuras do passado. Mas confesso estar particularmente interessado nos filmes dos asiáticos (To, em especial) e nos de Haneke e Von Trier. Esses prometem! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Stradivarius Posted April 20, 2009 Members Report Share Posted April 20, 2009 Jane Campion tem, no mínimo, 2 filmaços embaixo da saia - O Piano e Retratos de uma Mulher. Pode até ser que esteja passando por uma má fase, mas pessoalmente é um nome que vale a pena ficar atento. Já o Ken Loach eu ainda não conheço, mas planejo ver "Kes" assim que o DVD da Lume for lançado... É um diretor bem comentado também, e que ganhou a Palma a pouco tempo atrás.

Members pantalaimon Posted April 20, 2009 Members Report Share Posted April 20, 2009 Concordo, também gosto bastante destes dois, "O Piano", o mais famoso, merecidamente bem recebido, e "The Portrait Of a Lady", que quase ninguém conhece, ótimo, muito bom. Gosto de "Fogo Sagrado" também. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
