2017 Oscar Nominations Have Been Announced

Better get your tux to a dry cleaners, pronto – it’s Oscar time again. The nominees for the 89th annual Academy Awards have been announced, and as expected, razzle-dazzle old-school musical La La Land has come out on top with a record-equaling 14 nominations. Hot on its toe-tapping heels are cerebral alien sci-fi Arrival and generational urban drama Moonlight , which both earned six nominations apiece. There were nine Best Picture nominations this year – a category that can be anywhere from five to ten – with a diverse list that included a Western ( Hell Or High Water ), a war movie ( Hacksaw Ridge ), a sci-fi ( Arrival ). See the list after the Jump... Perhaps in response to last year’s #OscarsSoWhite controversy, there was plenty of recognition for films with non-white casts or stories, most notably Moonlight, Hidden Figures and Fences. During a characteristically chin-scratching pre-recorded announcement video (never let it be said the Academy doesn’t know how to string s

Moana Wins Thanksgiving Box Office

Disney's very good year continued apace across the typically busy Thanksgiving holiday weekend – which for movies usually stretches from the Wednesday before the actual celebration. Moana , the company's latest animated offering, got off to a strong start at the American box office, earning $55.5 million for the weekend and $81.1 million across the period from its release on Wednesday, according to studio estimates. That figure means Moana enters the charts as Disney's second-highest opening in the Thanksgiving period, behind just Frozen, and seems likely to have the same longevity – adding in its overseas totals, the movie is sailing towards $100 million after just a few days. With the all-powerful 'toon sweeping into the top spot, Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them had to vacate its throne after just one week, but still earned a healthy $45.1 million across the three-day weekend. And Doctor Strange slipped to third with $13.3 million after four weeks in th

Movie Review: Hacksaw Ridge

Gibson's latest has a brave heart, but little more. Review by Brandon Wolfe Mel Gibson’s Hacksaw Ridge is a film as bifurcated as they come. A war epic centering on the true-life story of Desmond Doss (Andrew Garfield), a combat medic for the U.S. Army in WWII, Ridge gives audiences the precise sort of gruesome carnage-fest one would expect from Gibson as a filmmaker, but only in its second hour. Its first hour is infinitely more serene in its depiction of Doss’ travails in basic training, where his stance as a conscientious objector puts him at odds with his superiors and fellow soldiers. The struggle Doss faces, with taunting from his vicious commanding officer (a very miscast Vince Vaughn), physical abuse from his peers, forced psychiatric evaluations, and even an attempted court martial, paints the film initially as a low-key tale of conflict, making the shift to war-is-hell chaos and bloodshed a tad jarring. Clearly made with Full Metal Jacket on the brain, Hacksaw Ri

Doctor Strange' Opens Huge

Doctor Strange opened to an even better-than-expected $85 million from 3,882 theaters at the North American box office, further expanding Marvel Studios and Disney’s superhero universe and putting the movie’s early global total at a magical $325.4 million. Overseas, it earned another $118.7 million this weekend for a foreign cume of $240.4 million (it began rolling out in select foreign markets more than a week ago.) Doctor Strange, starring Benedict Cumberbatch as the lesser-known superhero Stephen Strange, gives Disney five of the 10 top openings of 2016 so far, and is another coup for Marvel Studios chief Kevin Feige and Disney’s marketing team. Also, it beat the first installments in the Thor, Captain America and Ant-Man franchises. In the film, Cumberbatch plays a top surgeon who, after his hands are injured in a car accident, seeks out the help of the Ancient One (Tilda Swinton), a master of the mystical arts. Chiwetel Ejiofor and Rachel McAdams also star in Doctor Stra
