Re: “A Dangerous Method cerebral, chilly”
well lets look at it, the time was very different and i will look for heart in the picture show, it is too easy to just say it lacks heart and soul, a common fault of those who are critical of such psych work - depth psychology is heart, soul and thought - charlie b.
Re: “2012 Academy Award nominations announced”
The Academy certainly went with much higher brow nominees this year which I think will lose them a large portion of their young audience. After doing better at being in touch with the public the past two years, these stiff nominees just fall flat. I usually have something in common with the choice but not this year- if the contenders seem stuffy to you, check out my own Top 10 Movie Picks of 2011 at http://dregstudiosart.blogspot.com/2012/01… where you won’t see a single of the Academy’s nominees for Best Picture but you will get some movie artwork I drew up as well as the reviews!

Ryan Gosling?
Re: “Red Tails goes down in flames”
Anyone interested in the Airmen would be much better served heading to New York to see Layon Gray's off-Broadway play, "Black Angels Over Tuskegee." It's brilliant - everything Red Tails should be.
Re: “The deal with Picnicface”
Saw them "perform" before one of the alFresco films at the boardwalk. Not very funny.

Re: “Memorial for LEXX co-creator this Sunday”
I remember Lex fondly from our time together at Dalhousie in the early 1980s, and his death comes as a shock. People have captured his essence so well. Let me mention also that he was a pretty decent musician, he was charismatic, and he was a sometime politician. In the latter case, perhaps like Herman Hesse's *Siddhartha*, he achieved in an area if only to show its limitations. I hope his kids can take inspiration from his life and his friends' memories.

Re: “Hollywood nostalgia-fest”
I'm somewhat conflicted over this piece. Certainly, The Tree of Life is probably the best film I've seen this year, and I was incredibly disappointed (but not surprised) that The King's Speech won the Best Picture Oscar over The Social Network. However, The Artist, Hugo, and Midnight In Paris are all films I would put in my top 10 this year, and I don't think that a film needs social relevance or originality to be great. Sure, The Artist is a cross between A Star is Born and Singin' in the Rain, but I enjoyed watching it more than almost any other film this or any other year, and it is a film I will probably remember more than The Descendants, which I also enjoyed. Is it a crowd-pleaser? Absolutely. I just don't think that's automatically a bad thing.

Really? Whatever you were paid to write this list it was too much.
Re: “The Devil Inside: It's hard to believe we need a place called hell”
The time is always right for an INXS reference, sweet! :)
Re: “Memorial for LEXX co-creator this Sunday”
Gillian and Giles will be a great legacy of Lex, I know he worked hard on getting this going and I personally am looking forward to seeing, Lex was a friend, neighbor and brother Firefighter and I will miss him dearly. Gagetown Fire & Rescue are also hosting a Celebration of Life in Memory of our Brother In Arms on January 14th from 2-4 at the Legion in Gagetown NB.
Re: “Memorial for LEXX co-creator this Sunday”
Although Lex's screenplay GILLIAN AND GILES has been placed on hold due to his untimely death, our financing and distribution is still in place, so we see no reason that the film shall not be produced and distributed in his memory!

Trust me, Digital projectors have just as many issues (if not more) than the 35mm.
