The Academy Award nominations come out Tuesday, and I wouldn’t be a true movie geek if I didn’t make predictions on who could make Oscar’s short list. So here we go (keep in mind these are films and performers I think will be nominated, not necessarily should):
Best pictureBefore this year, Andrew Garfield was known mostly as “that guy from the Facebook movie.”
It’s officially Oscar season, as nomination ballots were recently sent to the voting members of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences. But it seems some are confused by the ballots, according to the Hollywood Reporter.
Welcome to 2012! But before we get too far, let’s look back at the films we had in 2011.
It just wouldn’t be the holidays without the marathon showing of the 1983 film “A Christmas Story.” Sure, I could pop the DVD in and watch it anytime I want, but it wouldn’t be the same. Christmas without Ralphie would be like popcorn without butter. Morally wrong.
In the midst of the big-budget holiday movie season, don’t forget the little guys. There are several cool independent films now playing or on the way, and many will attract awards attention.
I am not the target audience for the “Twilight” films or books, meaning I am not a teenage girl — although I probably throw a football like one.
How is it the holidays already? Wasn’t it just summer?
I was fully ready to loathe the new caper comedy “Tower Heist.” It didn’t help that it starred Ben Stiller (his stutter schtick in the “Meet the Parents” films is the equivalent of nails on a chalkboard to me) or Eddie Murphy (I’d rather get a colonoscopy than sit through another of his multi-role “Nutty Professor”-type comedies.)
The ninth annual Tallgrass Film Festival wrapped Oct. 23 with a sold-out screening of Anne Buford’s “Elevate” and the Closing Night Gala party at the Ulrich Museum of Art.
The opening night party Thursday at the Tallgrass Film Festival was insane.
The Tallgrass Film Festival is in full swing, having started Thursday with screenings and the opening night film “The Sandman.”
The theme for this year's Tallgrass Film Festival is "get twisted." And if the opening night film is any indication of the vibe for the rest of the fest, we may be in for a real twisted treat.
The Tallgrass Film Festival recently announced its full lineup, and it looks to be a strong program.
Some independent films on the horizon in Wichita:
Baseball movies are a genre unto their own, whether funny (“Bull Durham”) or serious (“Field of Dreams”). And baseball usually transcends the limits of the game, becoming a symbol of the human spirit.
"The Interrupters" is the kind of powerful filmmaking that not only documents change, it provokes it.
This summer was so hot, even shark-infested waters sound soothing.
The Tallgrass Film Association is presenting " Dudegrass: A Lebowski Extravaganza" on Saturday at Northrock Lanes, 3232 N. Rock Road.
