12 Years a Slave. What a powerful experience. Michael Fassbender was amazing. How is he not in contention for a nomination for Best Supporting Actor?

 

EDIT: Just saw he is nominated for the Golden Globes. My mistake. He totally deserves it!

You weren't particularly a big fan of it either Tele.

 

He gave it a B+.

....uh....he is. And he's probably in second to Leto.

Erm... he's locked for a nomination and is only behind Leto.

[CJohn]

Sorry guys, I thought he was not nominated for the Golden Globes. I edited my post.

It's amazing what can happen to some actors if they keep hanging around.  Jared Leto has the IT boy back when he first broke into Hollywood.  From 1998 to 2000, he was in 9 films and some very big productions like Fight Club and Thin Red Line. Then he just seemed to disappear into obscurity.  Now he does DBC and it looks like he will win the Oscar.  Good for him.

You should just change Fassbender to Franco.

B/B+ isn't a big fan? I was way more impressed with it than I expected.

 

You really didn't praise it all that much in your review.

12 Years a Slave will be in my top 10 of 2014, Portugal edition. What a fantastic movie.

CJohn: Man, Chiwetel Ejiofer was fantastic! I'm outraged no one thinks he's worthy of a nomination!

 

CJohn: I was BLOWN away by Sandra Bullock in Gravity... it's a travesty that she's not being considered for any awards.

 

CJohn: Amy Adams! What a great job in American Hustle. I wish she'd turn up in the Academy radar.

Leto was heartbreakingly good in Dallas Buyers Club. Havent seen Mr. Pendulum yet but I'm def rooting for Leto right now.

[Ezen Baklattan]

I could see Franco winning the BoxOffice.com user awards.

[Impact]

Sony is being a little over confident with American Hustle.

[Jack Nevada]

I could see Franco winning the BoxOffice.com user awards.

Nah, it's probably gonna be Tom Hiddleston.

I tend to be pretty brief with my reviews. I grade on a relatively un-curved scale, so C means average, middle of the road, mediocre. B means above average, A means well above average, excellent.

 

With LS, I thought the early scenes are pretty weak and hamstrung by Berg's total hero worship. The giant action scene that's the bulk of the movie is very well staged and impressive and intense, and I was surprised at how emotional the ending actually was (and that, against my expectations, it earned it).

Didn't really cared for Chiwetel, he was fine, and that is it. 

 

Never thought of Sandra's performance as Oscar worthy.

 

Haven't seen AH.

 

[Ezen Baklattan]

Nah, it's probably their best shot at winning, and buzz is very strong for it, despite the backlash on here.

Same reason he was totally ignored for Shame I suppose.
