BAKETHEMOOCOW'S LATEST ACTIVITY

BakeTheMooCow posted a BLOG item 2 months ago

NAACP nominations

How sad is the state of black cinema that the NAACP nominations (http://tinyurl.com/y8busue) include:

Idris Elba for Obsessed
Jamie Foxx for Law Abiding Citizen
Anika Noni Rose for The Princess and the Frog (it's a cartoon!)
Chiwetel Ejiofor for 2012
Danny Glover for 2012

and

Sandra Bullock for The Blind Side!

Ridiculous. The only worthy nominee is Anthony Mackie for his great performance in The Hurt Locker. I'm going easy on Invictus because it's so bland, but it doesn't deserve anything either.

I'd laugh, but really.. it's depressing. When you're going to a Roland Emmerich movie for acting nominations, you're really scraping the bottom of the barrel.


Mood: Surprised

Word. Sandra Bullock getting a nom is the most sad part of it. Playing an all-too perfect southern christian white lady taking care of a stupid, talentless black boy. Fuck. That.

Wow, we have six in common (including the top spot) in a list of only twenty and merely one (TDK) I'd really disagree with.

Props, great list.

Will try desperately to avoid 'Avatar' reviews and remain unspoiled for the next 24 hours. Seeing it tomorrow at noon in IMAX.

Not able to post a review of 'Collapse' here on MFC for some reason. But take my word for it - it's a must-watch.

The Box



Box_poster

Directed by: Richard Kelly
Written by: Richard Kelly
Cast: James Marsden, Cameron Diaz, Gillian Jacobs, Frank Langella
Studio: Warner Bros
Genre: Thriller
Official Site: thebox-movie.warnerbros.com/
Plot: A small wooden box arrives on the doorstep of a married couple, who know that opening it will grant them a million dollars and kill someone they don't know.

Review:

The first moral dilemma has some real world ramifications, although it's a stretch and I think Richard Kelly is far too stupid to have thought of that. Would you make a decision that would benefit you but harm somebody you don't know? Even the explanation for why the Frank Langella character is doing this is somewhat interesting. But the way Kelly goes about this is so laughable. There is nothing remotely unsettling about any of this; just really really silly. James Marsden and Cameron Diaz are completely out of their fucking element. It gets more absurd while continuing to be very dull and slow. And then the other moral dilemma that comes in the last 20 minutes is so dumb, it reminded me of middle school conundrums you'd present your friends about who they'd kill - their mother or father - and they absolutely had to pick one. It makes no sense and the sympathy the director is trying to draw from this nonsensical circumstance is pathetic. Goofiest movie of the year... [more]

I second Joblo's comment about Viggo's hair. That hair is utterly fantastic, I must say.

One down. I'll be seeing "The Road" today. "Up In The Air" tomorrow. "The Messenger" sometime next week.

Lucky bastard. :D

THE ROAD isn't playing at my local theaters. I hope one of my theaters will get it tomorrow. If not, I will be fucking mad as hell.

I can't wait to see it. It looks great!

The Fantastic Mr. Fox

Directed by: Wes Anderson
Written by: Wes Anderson and Noah Baumbach
Cast: George Clooney, Jason Schwartzman, Meryl Streep, Bill Murray, Wally Wolodarsky, Michael Gambon, Helen McCrory, Wes Anderson, Eric Anderson, Jarvis Cocker
Studio: Fox
Genre: Animation

Review:

I couldn't even say that this film is his best since whatever, since I love all of Wes Anderson's works and each movie of his is unique and brilliant in its own way... [more]

Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs



Cloudy

Directed by: Chris Miller & Phil Lord
Written by: Chris Miller & Phil Lord
Cast: Bill Hader, Anna Faris, Andy Samberg, Mr. T, Bruce Campbell, Tracy Morgan
Studio: Sony Pictures
Genre: Animated
Official Site: www.cloudywithachanceofmeatballs.com/
Plot: The timeless tale has been adapted from Ron and Judi Barrett's book, which illustrates a world where giant pancakes and pasta fall from the sky as a scientist tries to solve world hunger. However, things go terribly wrong when excess amounts of food overload cities and towns.

Review:

Extremely surreal kids movie with lots of really funny gags that go by at a lightning pace. It's well aware of itself, there is a lack of pop-culture jokes and the runtime is short. Trippy, colorful, strangely moving and a very breezy, fun watch... [more]

Where The Wild Things Are



Whereposter

Directed by: Spike Jonze
Written by: Spike Jonze and Dave Eggers
Cast: Catherine Keener, Max Records, James Gandolfini, Angus Sampson, Forest Whitaker, Lauren Ambrose, Catherine O'Hara, Rachel Rivera, Melissa Davis and Paul Dano
Studio: Warner Bros
Genre: Adventure
Official Site: wherethewildthingsare.warnerbros.com
Plot: An adaptation of Maurice Sendak's classic children's story, where Max, a disobedient little boy sent to bed without his supper, creates his own world--a forest inhabited by ferocious wild creatures that crown Max as their ruler.

Review:

Spectacularly rich, gorgeous to look at, incredibly smart and layered in its themes, and evoking (good and bad) feelings of childhood unlike any other movie I've seen in ages. Just thoroughly captivating and beautiful all the way through... [more]

"Zombieland" is brilliant. The IMDb entry ruins the cameo though, so don't look.
