Oscar nominations: good ones and fantastic ones!!!
Posted on | February 3, 2010 | 1 Comment
This years’ Oscar nominations were surprising; The Secret of Kells, UP, Princess and the Frog, Coraline, and the one I hope wins, Fantastic Mr. Fox are the animation nominations.
Some other good nominations are Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince for best cinematography. Star Trek for makeup, sound editing, and visual effects. Meryl Streep was nominated for Julie and Julia for best actress in a leading role. George Clooney got a nomination for best actor in a leading role in Up in the Air. He was also Fantastic Mr. Fox in Fantastic Mr. Fox. Up in the Air was also nominated for best picture, best director, two actresses in a supporting role, and adapted screen play. UP also got nominations in addition to best animated film for best original screnplay, original score, sound editing and most surprising best picture! Avatar got nominations for best picture, director, art direction, cinematography, film editing, original score, sound editing, sound mixing, and visual effects. Sherlock Holmes got nominated for art direction and original score.
I wish I could see Julie & Julia, Up in the Air, Avatar, Star Trek, Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince, and most of all Sherlock Holmes. I think they are appropriate for me except my parents do not agree.
The Oscars: 10 Best Pictures

In the Providence Journal I read an article about the Oscars. It said instead of five best picture nominations there will be ten this year. But they said only five will really matter. Read the article here.
The full list of nominees for the 82nd Annual Academy Awards will be announced on February 2nd.
Face Value:Where Actors And Effects Begin

Listen to Bob Mondello (a film critic) and Michele Norris (interviewer on NPR) discuss who deserves the Oscar for best actor here. Is it the actor or the computer animators who digitialise the character? I think it’s hard to choose because they are all doing alot of work.
Up and Fox are tough to beat

I just read an article in the New York Times called Look Out Pixar Here Comes Fantastic Mr. Fox. It’s about how usually Pixar wins an Oscar but this year maybe it won’t. It was a very good article!!! If you read the “i o” awards then you now which is our favorite .

From the New York Times: Unleashing Life’s Wild Things
Posted on | November 11, 2009 | Add Comments
This article from Sunday’s New York Times is about kid’s movies that are kind of scary and may be good for adults as well. The movies they talk about are The Wizard of Oz, Edward Scissorhands, Coraline, Where the Wild Things, Tim Burton’s upcoming Alice in Wonderland and Fantastic Mr. Fox.
I like this article beacuse it talks about some of the movies that I like and I have seen. I have not yet seen Edward Scissorhands, Fantastic Mr. Fox, or Alice in Wonderland.
Looking forward to the Fox!

I can’t wait for the movie, Fantastic Mr. Fox directed by Wes Anderson. I think it is cool to know how they made the film using miniatures. Read the article in today’s New York Times Arts & Leisure section; Animal Wrangling in Miniature to learn more about how Wes Anderson adapted Roald Dahl’s book for the movie opening, November 13, 2009.
See trailers and learn more about Roald Dahl on the Apple website.
