Oscar 2012 Nominations

THEY’RE HERE! The nominations for the 84th Academy Awards have been released, and as we predicted The Artist has basically bagsied all the categories like a fat greedy child in a tuckshop. Standard.

The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo

In stripping back the Dragon Tattoo story to its bare bones and keeping our attention purely on its central players, David Fincher has created a sleek, sparse and visually arresting adaptation of Stieg Larsson’s opening gambit. Despite being hampered rather than helped by the narrative of their source material, the immensely creative team do an admirable job – underpinned by a stunning performance by star Rooney Mara. The question is – is this story really good enough for them?

FACES AND PERSONALITIES – they have both!

Beginners

Prepare yourselves for a quaint little tale about love, life, death and the cutest Jack Russell in the world (second to maybe Eddie in Frasier) in Beginners; a rather lovely comedy-drama written and directed by Mike Mills.

My Dog Tulip

An animated film about a man you’ve probably never heard of and his dog. If you already think this sounds awful then prepare to be surprised. Pleasantly.

Beginners

“Beginners” imaginatively explores the hilarity, confusion, and surprises of love through the evolving consciousness of Oliver. Oliver meets the irreverent and unpredictable Anna only months after his father Hal has passed away. This new love floods Oliver with memories of his father who — following 44 years of marriage — came out of the closet at age 75 to live a full, energized, and wonderfully tumultuous gay life. The upheavals of Hal’s new honesty, by turns funny and moving, brought father and son closer than they’d ever been able to be. Now Oliver endeavors to love Anna with all the bravery, humor, and hope that his father taught him.
