Movie magazines!!!!!!!!!!!!
Posted on | May 10, 2010 | Add Comments
Soon (thanks to our grandfather) we will be getting a subscription to Entertainment Weekly, a movie magazine. It is not only about movies though; they also talk about music, TV, video games and books. Some of the best movie Entertainment Weekly’s have been about the Oscars, the 2010 Alice in Wonderland, and ninety-six new Summer movies.
On Saturday I bought a magazine called Empire at Borders, which is only about movies, movies and movies. I like it a little better than Entertainment Weekly. This issue of Empire is about summer movies. There are 3 main articles about Robin Hood, Ironman 2, and Prince of Persia. There’s a crossword puzzle, movie reviews and some DVD reviews. You might not find it at most magazine shops because it’s from England.
Empire is 162 pages and Entertainment Weekly is only about 100, so Empire has many more articles and facts. Entertainment Weekly obviously comes out weekly and Empire comes out Monthly.
Tim Burton: The MOMA Exhibition
Posted on | May 10, 2010 | Add Comments
4 stars
This Tim Burton exhibition (closed April 26, 2010) shows drawings from his past and a few shorts and commercials he made. There is also a room devoted to the real movie props from his films. For example things from BeetleJuice, Planet of the Apes, Ed Wood, Batman, Edward Scissorhands, and more. It does not have things from Alice in Wonderland because the exhibition came out before the film did. In the gift shop they have a book of Alice in Wonderland for sale.
I liked learning about Tim Burton more even though I already knew a lot about him and had already seen and loved Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and Alice in Wonderland and parts of Edward Scissorhands.
I liked the movie aritfacts in this exhibit. I especially liked the Batman masks and the Edward Scissorhand life size model. I also liked the screen with the Tim Burton commercials. There was one with a guy who had watches and he started kicking people in the faces and also one where people took their heads off and they had skeleton heads. I liked his sculptures alot. I liked them because I liked learning the history of how he made commercials and learning about Tim Burton himself.
I think this photo is from the opening of the exhibition. Johnny Depp, Helena Bonham Carter, Tim Burton, and Danny DeVito pose for this photo. Someday soon I would love to meet them in person.
“The Invention of Hugo Cabret” will be in 3-D!!!!!
Posted on | April 16, 2010 | 4 Comments
Based on the book by Brian Selznick, the upcoming movie Hugo Cabret will be in 3-D. It will be directed by Martin Scorsese who recently won the Cecil B. Demile award for someone who has directed, produced or acted in many, many movies over their lifetime. I think the film will have tons of special effects . The movie is coming out on December 11, 2011 — there will definitly be a review!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

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 .
