The ceremony is being shown live from the Kodak Theatre where hosts <strong>Alec Baldwin</strong> and <strong>Steve Martin</strong> will be reminding us that laughter always makes the Oscar ceremony so much more entertaining. This should be a very exciting and quite interesting year at the Academy Awards, considering this is the first year (since 1943) that we’ve had 10 nominees for Best Picture. The complete list of nominees below will be updated with winners marked as they’re announced <span><strong>live</strong></span> on the show tonight.</p> <div> <div><strong>PICTURE:</strong><br /> <img src="http://media2.firstshowing.net/firstshowing/img/oscars2010-winnner-unknown-img.jpg" alt="?" /><br /> <em>Not Yet Announced</em></div> <div><strong>DIRECTOR:</strong><br /> <img src="http://media2.firstshowing.net/firstshowing/img/oscars2010-winnner-unknown-img.jpg" alt="?" /><br /> <em>Not Yet Announced</em></div> <div><strong>ACTOR:</strong><br /> <img src="http://media2.firstshowing.net/firstshowing/img/oscars2010-winnner-unknown-img.jpg" alt="?" /><br /> <em>Not Yet Announced</em></div> <div><strong>ACTRESS:</strong><br /> <img src="http://media2.firstshowing.net/firstshowing/img/oscars2010-winnner-unknown-img.jpg" alt="?" /><br /> <em>Not Yet Announced</em></div> </div> <div></div> <p>Read on for the complete list of nominees and winners and to let us know what <em>your</em> think of the results!</p> <p>This will be updated throughout the night to reflect the winners.

And I’m sure most of you do, too. But this here is no ordinary heist movie. <strong><em>The Art of the Steal</em></strong> is a documentary about “the biggest heist of our time” that tells the true story of a multi-billion dollar art heist and “how they got away with it.” The doc follows the political struggle for control of Dr. Albert C. Barnes’ <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barnes_Foundation">$25 billion collection</a> of modern and post-impressionist art. I’m now too familiar with the story, which is why I’m even more interested in checking this out. I hope, just like <em>The Cove</em>, that they get into some controversial territory. This trailer sets it up beautifully as well, so I’ll let it speak for itself.<span></span></p> <p align="center">Watch the official trailer for Don Argott’s <em>The Art of the Steal</em>:</p> <div align="center"> </div> <p align="center">You can also watch <em>The Art of the Steal</em> trailer in <a href="http://trailers.apple.com/trailers/independent/theartofthesteal/"><strong>High Definition</strong></a> on Apple</p> <p><a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1326733/"><em>The Art of the Steal</em></a> is directed by documentary filmmaker <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0034531/">Don Argott</a>, of the docs <em>Two Days in April</em> and <em>Rock School</em> previously. Argott is originally from New Jersey, but now lives in Philadelphia, which is where most of this documentary takes place.

The <a href="http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/movies/2010/03/fright-night-craig-gillespie-dreamworks.html"><em>LA Times</em></a> is reporting that <em>Lars and the Real Girl</em> director <strong>Craig Gillespie</strong> may have landed the job of directing DreamWorks’ new <strong><em>Fright Night</em></strong> remake. This DreamWorks is the one run by Steven Spielberg, not Jeffrey Katzenberg. Gillespie is only “in negotiations” at the moment, but is the one they’re going with after narrowing it down to three directors (the other two were not identified). Gillespie doesn’t have any horror experience yet, but that doesn’t mean he’s not a good choice. I was hoping Mike Dougherty would’ve gotten the job, but that was a bit of a pipe dream.<span></span></p> <p>In addition to <em>Lars and the Real Girl</em>, Gillespie directed the Billy Bob Thornton comedy <em>Mr. Woodcock</em>, which was a pretty big flop. He’s also been directing episodes of Showtime’s “United States of Tara”, which may be how he ended up inside the DreamWorks family. Gillespie will be working from a script written by <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0637497/">Marti Noxon</a>, a writer/producer on AMC’s “Mad Men” and writer on the 90’s “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” show, which is important considering <em>Fright Night</em> involves vampires. In the <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0089175/">original 1985 film</a>, which was written and directed by Tom Holland, William Ragsdale played a teenager who discovers his neighbors are vampires, but no one believes him. The remake will keep the comedy-horror tone while modernizing the FX.</p> <p>This isn’t a done deal yet for Gillespie, and the guys who run the <a href="http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/movies/2010/03/fright-night-craig-gillespie-dreamworks.html">24 Frames</a> blog have been jumping the gun with some early news recently, so you never know. I don’t really have much to say about this, I just hope that Gillespie doesn’t make this <em>too</em> cheesy. I’m worried that this will be a PG-13 horror movie version of “Buffy” mixed with <em>Disturbia</em>, which I don’t really want to see, but others probably do. We’ll keep you updated on DreamWorks’ plans with this remake, so stay tuned anyway. <strong>Do you think Gillespie is a good choice?</strong></p> <p><span><strong>Discover More:</strong> <a href="http://www.firstshowing.net/category/movie-news/" title="View all posts in Movie News" rel="category tag">Movie News</a>, <a href="http://www.firstshowing.net/category/opinions/" title="View all posts in Opinions" rel="category tag">Opinions</a>, <a href="http://www.firstshowing.net/category/rumors/" title="View all posts in Rumors" rel="category tag">Rumors</a></span></p> <div> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/firstshowing?a=kg06MGXgdiE:ia0Pt0OFr-g:D7DqB2pKExk"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/firstshowing?i=kg06MGXgdiE:ia0Pt0OFr-g:D7DqB2pKExk" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/firstshowing?a=kg06MGXgdiE:ia0Pt0OFr-g:qj6IDK7rITs"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/firstshowing?d=qj6IDK7rITs" border="0"></img></a> </div> <p><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/firstshowing/~4/kg06MGXgdiE" height="1" width="1" /></p> </div> <div class="post-cat"> <div class="comm-count"><a href="http://imoviecritic.com/wordpress/?p=532#respond" title="Comment on Director Craig Gillespie Might Helm the Fright Night Remake">No Comment</a></div> <div class="cat">under: <a href="http://imoviecritic.com/wordpress/?cat=1" title="View all posts in Uncategorized" rel="category">Uncategorized</a><br /> </div> <span class="social"> <a href="http://digg.com/submit?phase=2&url=http://imoviecritic.com/wordpress/?p=532&title=Director Craig Gillespie Might Helm the Fright Night Remake">Digg it</a> <a href="http://del.icio.us/post?url=http://imoviecritic.com/wordpress/?p=532&title=Director Craig Gillespie Might Helm the Fright Night Remake" rel="nofollow">Add to del.icio.us</a> <a href="http://www.stumbleupon.com/submit?url=http://imoviecritic.com/wordpress/?p=532&title=Director Craig Gillespie Might Helm the Fright Night Remake" rel="nofollow">Stumble it</a> <a href="http://technorati.com/faves?add=http://imoviecritic.com/wordpress/?p=532" rel="nofollow">add to technorati</a> </span> </div> </div> <div class="post-meta" id="post-531"> <h1><a href="http://imoviecritic.com/wordpress/?p=531" rel="bookmark" title="Check This Out: First Annual ‘Fangirl Awards’ Winners List">Check This Out: First Annual ‘Fangirl Awards’ Winners List</a></h1> <div class="post-static">Posted by <a href="http://imoviecritic.com/wordpress/?author=1" title="Posts by admin">admin</a> in March 7th 2010 </div> <div class="post-content"> <div align="center"><a href="http://www.firstshowing.net/2010/03/06/check-this-out-first-annual-fangirl-awards-winners-list/"><img src="http://media2.firstshowing.net/firstshowing/img/fangirlawards-basterdsmarquee-tsr2.jpg" alt="First Annual Fangirl Awards" border="0" /></a></div> <p>Although we don’t have any female writers on our site yet, there are lots of female movie fans and bloggers out there. A group of about 50 of them decided to start a <a href="http://allthingsfangirl.blogspot.com/p/join-fangirl-academy.html"><strong>Fangirl Academy</strong></a> which, every year starting this year, picks their own ‘best of the year’, known as the <strong>Fangirl Awards</strong> – like the Oscars, but with a group of fangirls. I’m featuring the awards because we’re friends with a few members. Our own <a href="http://www.firstshowing.net/author/btenney/">Brandon Tenney’s</a> sister Elycia is a member (<a href="http://twitter.com/barricadestay">@barricadestay</a>) and so are plenty of our colleagues and friends, like Genevieve (<a href="http://twitter.com/scarletscribe">@scarletscribe</a>), Jen (<a href="http://twitter.com/jenyamato">@jenyamato</a>) and Amanda (<a href="http://twitter.com/eruditechick">@eruditechick</a>). Read on to see a list of their winners.<span></span></p> <p>The Fangirl Academy just unveiled their list of winners for the <strong>Major Awards</strong> on the <a href="http://allthingsfangirl.blogspot.com/2010/03/first-annual-fangirl-awards-major.html">All Things Fangirl blog</a>. I’ve listed winners for some of the categories below, but hit up their blog for the entire list of winners. They also made videos announcing each winner which you can watch <a href="http://allthingsfangirl.blogspot.com/2010/03/first-annual-fangirl-awards-major.html">embedded in the post</a> or on <a href="http://www.youtube.com/user/allthingsfangirl#p/u">YouTube</a>.</p> <p><strong>BEST PICTURE:</strong><br /> 1. <strong><em>Inglorious Basterds</em></strong><br /> 2. <em>The Hurt Locker</em><br /> 3. <em>Star Trek</em></p> <p><strong>BEST ACTOR:</strong><br /> <strong>Sam Rockwell – <em>Moon</em></strong><br /> Sharlto Copley – <em>District 9</em> (Runner-Up)</p> <p><strong>BEST ACTRESS:</strong><br /> <strong>Carey Mulligan – <em>An Education</em></strong><br /> Meryl Streep – <em>Julie & Julia</em> (Runner-Up)</p> <p><strong>BEST SUPPORTING ACTOR:</strong><br /> <strong>Christoph Waltz – <em>Inglorious Basterds</em></strong><br /> Zachary Quinto – <em>Star Trek</em> (Runner-Up)</p> <p><strong>BEST SUPPORTING ACTRESS:</strong><br /> <strong>Melanie Laurent – <em>Inglorious Basterds</em></strong><br /> Anna Kendrick – <em>Up in the Air</em> (Runner-Up)</p> <p><strong>BEST DIRECTOR:</strong><br /> <strong>Kathryn Bigelow – <em>The Hurt Locker</em></strong><br /> Quentin Tarantino – <em>Inglourious Basterds</em> (Runner-Up)</p> <p><strong>BEST ADAPTED SCREENPLAY:</strong><br /> <strong><em>District 9</em></strong><br /> <em>Up in the Air</em> (Runner-Up)</p> <p><strong>BEST ORIGINAL SCREENPLAY:</strong><br /> <strong><em>Inglourious Basterds</em></strong><br /> <em>Moon</em> (Runner-Up)</p> <p><strong>BEST GRAPHIC NOVEL:</strong><br /> <strong><em>Scott Pilgrim Vol. 5</em></strong><br /> <em>Wonderful World of Oz</em> (Runner-Up)</p> <p><strong>BEST COMIC SERIES:</strong><br /> <strong><em>Buffy Season 8</em></strong><br /> <em>The Walking Dead</em></p> <p>I’m going to be completely honest – I never expected the Fangirl Academy to pick a movie like <em>Inglourious Basterds</em> as Best Picture, but all be damned, fine choice! I’m also happy with just about every other winner they chose. It’s great to see <strong>Sam Rockwell</strong> win <em>something</em>! And I’m so happy to see <strong>Melanie Laurent</strong> winning for Best Supporting Actress as well – I loved her in <em>Basterds</em>. If only the Oscars could end up like this, I think we’d all be much happier. Congrats to the Fangirl Academy on their first successful awards. I wanted to mention this on the site because I think they deserve some recognition for making their voices heard even though they’re a small group. Hopefully everyone else enjoyed seeing what they picked, as well.</p> <p><span><strong>Discover More:</strong> <a href="http://www.firstshowing.net/category/awards-news/" title="View all posts in Awards News" rel="category tag">Awards News</a>, <a href="http://www.firstshowing.net/category/featured/" title="View all posts in Featured" rel="category tag">Featured</a></span></p> <div> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/firstshowing?a=g77WHl8x1Zo:kYu2qjtd1bQ:D7DqB2pKExk"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/firstshowing?i=g77WHl8x1Zo:kYu2qjtd1bQ:D7DqB2pKExk" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/firstshowing?a=g77WHl8x1Zo:kYu2qjtd1bQ:qj6IDK7rITs"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/firstshowing?d=qj6IDK7rITs" border="0"></img></a> </div> <p><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/firstshowing/~4/g77WHl8x1Zo" height="1" width="1" /></p> </div> <div class="post-cat"> <div class="comm-count"><a href="http://imoviecritic.com/wordpress/?p=531#respond" title="Comment on Check This Out: First Annual ‘Fangirl Awards’ Winners List">No Comment</a></div> <div class="cat">under: <a href="http://imoviecritic.com/wordpress/?cat=1" title="View all posts in Uncategorized" rel="category">Uncategorized</a><br /> </div> <span class="social"> <a href="http://digg.com/submit?phase=2&url=http://imoviecritic.com/wordpress/?p=531&title=Check This Out: First Annual ‘Fangirl Awards’ Winners List">Digg it</a> <a href="http://del.icio.us/post?url=http://imoviecritic.com/wordpress/?p=531&title=Check This Out: First Annual ‘Fangirl Awards’ Winners List" rel="nofollow">Add to del.icio.us</a> <a href="http://www.stumbleupon.com/submit?url=http://imoviecritic.com/wordpress/?p=531&title=Check This Out: First Annual ‘Fangirl Awards’ Winners List" rel="nofollow">Stumble it</a> <a href="http://technorati.com/faves?add=http://imoviecritic.com/wordpress/?p=531" rel="nofollow">add to technorati</a> </span> </div> </div> <div class="post-meta" id="post-530"> <h1><a href="http://imoviecritic.com/wordpress/?p=530" rel="bookmark" title="Watch This: Trailer for Barry Munday Starring Patrick Wilson">Watch This: Trailer for Barry Munday Starring Patrick Wilson</a></h1> <div class="post-static">Posted by <a href="http://imoviecritic.com/wordpress/?author=1" title="Posts by admin">admin</a> in March 7th 2010 </div> <div class="post-content"> <div align="center"><a href="http://www.firstshowing.net/2010/03/06/watch-this-trailer-for-barry-munday-starring-patrick-wilson/"><img src="http://media2.firstshowing.net/firstshowing/img/barrymunday-officialtrailer-facetsr.jpg" alt="Barry Munday Trailer" border="0" /></a></div> <p>I was asked to feature this trailer for Chris D’Arienzo’s new film <strong><em>Barry Munday</em></strong> and after watching it, I actually think it looks pretty damn good. I was about halfway through watching it, and I was thinking that it looked okay, wasn’t too funny, but when I realized it was actually <strong>Patrick Wilson</strong> in the lead role, it totally changed my opinion. For the first half I couldn’t even tell it was him. He doesn’t even look the same and his voice is totally different! That said, this doens’t look like anything incredible, but I’m curious and I want to check it out in hopes that it’s an enjoyable indie flick at least. Let us know if you think this looks good, too?<span></span></p> <p align="center">Watch the official trailer for Chris D’Arienzo’s <em>Barry Munday</em>:</p> <div align="center"></div> <p><em>Barry Munday wakes up after being attacked to realize he’s missing his family jewels.

The film will premiere at the <a href="http://my.sxsw.com/events/event/5126">SXSW Film Festival</a> this month but doesn’t have a distributor yet.

I’m not really sure if these are an early indication of what’s to come at the Oscars in a few days. The Spirit Awards usually choose good winners, but they’re not always representative of what happens at the Oscars, mainly because half of the films here weren’t even nominated at the Oscars. <em>The Hurt Locker</em> wasn’t in contention because it originally showed at film festivals in 2008. But I am happy to see <em>500 Days of Summer</em> win! A very big indie <strong>congratulations</strong> to all of this year’s winners & nominees!</p> <p><span><strong>Discover More:</strong> <a href="http://www.firstshowing.net/category/awards-news/" title="View all posts in Awards News" rel="category tag">Awards News</a>, <a href="http://www.firstshowing.net/category/indies/" title="View all posts in Indies" rel="category tag">Indies</a>, <a href="http://www.firstshowing.net/category/opinions/" title="View all posts in Opinions" rel="category tag">Opinions</a></span></p> <div> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/firstshowing?a=PFxpIqCcLDk:haHErKMy4-c:D7DqB2pKExk"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/firstshowing?i=PFxpIqCcLDk:haHErKMy4-c:D7DqB2pKExk" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/firstshowing?a=PFxpIqCcLDk:haHErKMy4-c:qj6IDK7rITs"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/firstshowing?d=qj6IDK7rITs" border="0"></img></a> </div> <p><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/firstshowing/~4/PFxpIqCcLDk" height="1" width="1" /></p> </div> <div class="post-cat"> <div class="comm-count"><a href="http://imoviecritic.com/wordpress/?p=529#respond" title="Comment on 25th Independent Spirit Awards Winners – Precious Sweeps!">No Comment</a></div> <div class="cat">under: <a href="http://imoviecritic.com/wordpress/?cat=1" title="View all posts in Uncategorized" rel="category">Uncategorized</a><br /> </div> <span class="social"> <a href="http://digg.com/submit?phase=2&url=http://imoviecritic.com/wordpress/?p=529&title=25th Independent Spirit Awards Winners – Precious Sweeps!">Digg it</a> <a href="http://del.icio.us/post?url=http://imoviecritic.com/wordpress/?p=529&title=25th Independent Spirit Awards Winners – Precious Sweeps!" rel="nofollow">Add to del.icio.us</a> <a href="http://www.stumbleupon.com/submit?url=http://imoviecritic.com/wordpress/?p=529&title=25th Independent Spirit Awards Winners – Precious Sweeps!" rel="nofollow">Stumble it</a> <a href="http://technorati.com/faves?add=http://imoviecritic.com/wordpress/?p=529" rel="nofollow">add to technorati</a> </span> </div> </div> <div class="post-meta" id="post-528"> <h1><a href="http://imoviecritic.com/wordpress/?p=528" rel="bookmark" title="Badass Red Band Trailer for Harry Brown with Michael Caine">Badass Red Band Trailer for Harry Brown with Michael Caine</a></h1> <div class="post-static">Posted by <a href="http://imoviecritic.com/wordpress/?author=1" title="Posts by admin">admin</a> in March 7th 2010 </div> <div class="post-content"> <div align="center"><a href="http://www.firstshowing.net/2010/03/05/new-red-band-trailer-for-harry-brown-with-michael-caine/"><img src="http://media2.firstshowing.net/firstshowing/img/harrybrown-newtrailerred-gun-tsr.jpg" alt="Harry Brown Red Band Trailer" border="0" /></a></div> <p>Now <em>this</em> is a trailer you’ll definitely want to see. <strong><em>Harry Brown</em></strong> is the new British film that’s sort of like <em>Taken</em> but with <strong>Michael Caine</strong> (Alfred!) instead of Liam Neeson. We <a href="http://www.firstshowing.net/2009/09/18/must-watch-badass-trailer-for-michael-caines-harry-brown/">ran a trailer for it last year</a> but this one is now an official trailer from <a href="http://movies.ign.com/dor/objects/43185/harry-brown/videos/harrybrown_red_trl_030310.html">IGN</a> and it’s <span>red band</span>, too. If you’re wondering why it’s red band, I think it’s because of the violence and the marijuana seen growing in the background in a few scenes. Other than that, there’s probably not much else that makes this R-rated anyway. I love the build-up in this trailer, so intense, so awesome, I can’t frickin’ wait to see it! Who’s with me on this one? Am I the only one excited?<span></span></p> <p align="center">Watch the official <span>red band</span> trailer for Daniel Barber’s <em>Harry Brown</em>:</p> <div align="center"></div> <p><em>An ex-Marine (<a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000323/">Michael Caine</a>) looks to avenge his friend’s murder by doling out his own form of justice.</em></p> <p><a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1289406/"><em>Harry Brown</em></a> is directed by British filmmaker <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm2905562/">Daniel Barber</a>, of only the Oscar nominated short <em>The Tonto Woman</em> previously. The original screenplay was written by <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0949558/">Gary Young</a>, of British films <em>Shooters</em>, <em>The Last Drop</em>, and <em>The Tournament</em> previously. In addition to Michael Caine, this also stars Emily Mortimer, Liam Cunningham, and a number of other up-and-coming British actors. The film first premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival last year to fairly positive reviews all around. The Samuel Goldwyn Company is bringing <em>Harry Brown</em> to limited US theaters starting on <a href="http://www.firstshowing.net/releaseschedule2010/#apr"><strong>April 30th</strong></a> this spring.

A very important part of the Academy Awards legacy, wouldn’t you say? This year the producers of the Oscars are trying to get winners to <a href="http://www.firstshowing.net/2010/02/15/oscar-nominees-told-to-prepare-two-thank-you-speeches/">minimize the length of their speeches</a> so that they can keep the show from getting boring. But before we see this year’s thank yous, I’ve got a fun video to share with you this Oscar weekend. It comes from our friends at <a href="http://nymag.com/daily/entertainment/2010/03/watch_a_hypnotic_montage_of_os.html">Vulture</a> (via <a href="http://incontention.com/?p=23566">In Contention</a>) and is a “<strong>Hypnotic Montage of Oscar Thank-Yous</strong>” that, in 73 seconds, runs through a whole bunch of thank you speeches, but only just the names. This should definitely put you in the Oscar mood! Watch this below.<span></span></p> <div align="center"></div> <p>In regards to our Oscar coverage here on <span><strong>FS</strong></span>, both Ethan (<a href="http://twitter.com/Ethan_Anderton"><strong>@Ethan_Anderton</strong></a>) and I (<a href="http://twitter.com/firstshowing"><strong>@firstshowing</strong></a>) will be “live Tweeting” during the Oscar ceremony on Sunday (starts at <strong>5PM PT / 8PM ET</strong>), and you can follow us at the links provided. Besides that, we’ll have a full winners chart updated live on the front page. Back to this video, I love that <strong>Morgan Freeman’s voice</strong> stands out the most in this (at least in the intro). As in, when he says something, you instantly <em>know</em> it’s him. Maybe it comes from all those <a href="http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=Visa+commercial+Olympics+2010&search_type=&aq=f">Visa commercials</a> I saw during the Olympics. I also love that Freeman ends with “everybody.” <strong>Who are you rooting for?</strong></p> <p><span><strong>Discover More:</strong> <a href="http://www.firstshowing.net/category/awards-news/" title="View all posts in Awards News" rel="category tag">Awards News</a>, <a href="http://www.firstshowing.net/category/hype/" title="View all posts in Hype" rel="category tag">Hype</a>, <a href="http://www.firstshowing.net/category/worth-watching/" title="View all posts in Worth Watching" rel="category tag">Worth Watching</a></span></p> <div> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/firstshowing?a=_oqAcYVw5yM:sADSxryMRog:D7DqB2pKExk"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/firstshowing?i=_oqAcYVw5yM:sADSxryMRog:D7DqB2pKExk" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/firstshowing?a=_oqAcYVw5yM:sADSxryMRog:qj6IDK7rITs"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/firstshowing?d=qj6IDK7rITs" border="0"></img></a> </div> <p><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/firstshowing/~4/_oqAcYVw5yM" height="1" width="1" /></p> </div> <div class="post-cat"> <div class="comm-count"><a href="http://imoviecritic.com/wordpress/?p=527#respond" title="Comment on Oscar Thank You Speeches Montage Video – Thankful Oscars">No Comment</a></div> <div class="cat">under: <a href="http://imoviecritic.com/wordpress/?cat=1" title="View all posts in Uncategorized" rel="category">Uncategorized</a><br /> </div> <span class="social"> <a href="http://digg.com/submit?phase=2&url=http://imoviecritic.com/wordpress/?p=527&title=Oscar Thank You Speeches Montage Video – Thankful Oscars">Digg it</a> <a href="http://del.icio.us/post?url=http://imoviecritic.com/wordpress/?p=527&title=Oscar Thank You Speeches Montage Video – Thankful Oscars" rel="nofollow">Add to del.icio.us</a> <a href="http://www.stumbleupon.com/submit?url=http://imoviecritic.com/wordpress/?p=527&title=Oscar Thank You Speeches Montage Video – Thankful Oscars" rel="nofollow">Stumble it</a> <a href="http://technorati.com/faves?add=http://imoviecritic.com/wordpress/?p=527" rel="nofollow">add to technorati</a> </span> </div> </div> <div class="post-meta" id="post-526"> <h1><a href="http://imoviecritic.com/wordpress/?p=526" rel="bookmark" title="Sound Off: Tim Burton’s New Alice in Wonderland – Thoughts?">Sound Off: Tim Burton’s New Alice in Wonderland – Thoughts?</a></h1> <div class="post-static">Posted by <a href="http://imoviecritic.com/wordpress/?author=1" title="Posts by admin">admin</a> in March 7th 2010 </div> <div class="post-content"> <div align="center"><a href="http://www.firstshowing.net/2010/03/05/sound-off-tim-burtons-alice-in-wonderland-thoughts/"><img src="http://media2.firstshowing.net/firstshowing/img/aliceinwonderland-soundoff-newtsr.jpg" alt="Alice in Wonderland" border="0" /></a></div> <p><strong>Now that you’ve seen it, what did you think?</strong> The last time we saw Alice fall down the rabbit hole was <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0043274/">1951</a>, but now Lewis Carroll’s classic story is back again, and it’s definitely unlike anything we’ve ever seen before. Tim Burton’s newly re-imagined look at <strong><em>Alice in Wonderland</em></strong> hits theaters today with a stellar cast including Johnny Depp, Anne Hathaway, Michael Sheen, Alan Rickman, and Mia Wasikowska as Alice. And how is it this time? Is it as whimsical and entertaining as it looks in the trailers? How are all of the CGI characters? So if you’ve seen it, then leave a comment and tell us what you thought of <em>Alice in Wonderland</em>!<span></span></p> <p>To fuel the fire, I enjoyed Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland, but it’s not great movie. It’s very much another fun new Disney movie, with all the wacky sensibilities and talking animals that you’d expect from the Mouse House. But it’s got way, <em>way</em> too much Johnny Depp and way too much Helena Bonham Carter. My favorite parts were any time the <span><strong>Cheshire Cat</strong></span> would appear or any time the <span><strong>Blue Caterpillar</strong></span> was there, which unfortunately wasn’t enough. Overall I thought it was good, not great, and it’s a lot of fun, but nothing I’m excited to see again. It’s better than Burton’s <em>Charlie and the Chocolate Factory</em>, but that’s not saying much.</p> <p><strong>What did you think of <em>Alice in Wonderland</em>?

Cameron recently participated in the latest TED conference held in February and gave his own <strong>TED Talk</strong> focusing on filmmaking and science fiction, although he also talks a bit about <em>Avatar</em>, considering he spent the last 10 years of his life working on that movie. We’ve featured a few other TED Talk videos before: <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vpjVgF5JDq8">J.J. Abrams’ “Mystery Box” presentation</a> and <a href="http://www.firstshowing.net/2010/02/03/watch-district-9-director-neill-blomkamps-alien-ted-video/">Neill Blomkamp’s “extraterrestrial” presentation</a>, so I’m excited to feature another one that delves into some rather fascinating topics as well.<span></span></p> <p align="center">Watch the complete James Cameron TED Talk recorded in February 2010:</p> <div align="center"></div> <p>Did you know that James Cameron sat on the NASA Advisory Board? I didn’t! It’s a bit long, but if you’re a fan of James Cameron at all, this is one video that you <em>need</em> to watch. Similar to J.J. Abrams, Cameron ends up talking a bit about the “<strong>magic</strong>” of movies, and how the world was fascinated by the CGI in <em>The Abyss</em> and then <em>Terminator 2</em>. It’s sort of a 17-minute recap of his filmmaking career, focusing a bit on <em>Avatar</em>, but it’s pretty cool to see. I think the best way to describe this is that it explains why Cameron is in love with diving and everything else he’s fascinated with. And honestly, by the end I felt a little bit inspired as well. He says some great things in the last few minutes that are quite inspirational. <em>“Failure is an option, but fear is not.”</em></p> <p><span><strong>Discover More:</strong> <a href="http://www.firstshowing.net/category/cool-stuff/" title="View all posts in Cool Stuff" rel="category tag">Cool Stuff</a>, <a href="http://www.firstshowing.net/category/worth-watching/" title="View all posts in Worth Watching" rel="category tag">Worth Watching</a></span></p> <div> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/firstshowing?a=Auln4QXEqbs:bhAaWu2wFXs:D7DqB2pKExk"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/firstshowing?i=Auln4QXEqbs:bhAaWu2wFXs:D7DqB2pKExk" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/firstshowing?a=Auln4QXEqbs:bhAaWu2wFXs:qj6IDK7rITs"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/firstshowing?d=qj6IDK7rITs" border="0"></img></a> </div> <p><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/firstshowing/~4/Auln4QXEqbs" height="1" width="1" /></p> </div> <div class="post-cat"> <div class="comm-count"><a href="http://imoviecritic.com/wordpress/?p=525#respond" title="Comment on Check This Out: James Cameron’s Complete TED Talk Video">No Comment</a></div> <div class="cat">under: <a href="http://imoviecritic.com/wordpress/?cat=1" title="View all posts in Uncategorized" rel="category">Uncategorized</a><br /> </div> <span class="social"> <a href="http://digg.com/submit?phase=2&url=http://imoviecritic.com/wordpress/?p=525&title=Check This Out: James Cameron’s Complete TED Talk Video">Digg it</a> <a href="http://del.icio.us/post?url=http://imoviecritic.com/wordpress/?p=525&title=Check This Out: James Cameron’s Complete TED Talk Video" rel="nofollow">Add to del.icio.us</a> <a href="http://www.stumbleupon.com/submit?url=http://imoviecritic.com/wordpress/?p=525&title=Check This Out: James Cameron’s Complete TED Talk Video" rel="nofollow">Stumble it</a> <a href="http://technorati.com/faves?add=http://imoviecritic.com/wordpress/?p=525" rel="nofollow">add to technorati</a> </span> </div> </div> <div id="post-navigator"> <div class="alignright"></div> <div class="alignleft"><a href="http://imoviecritic.com/wordpress/?paged=2" >« Older Entries</a></div> </div> </div> <div id="product-sidebar"> <div class="sidebar-box"><h3></h3><ul class="list"><li><script type="text/javascript"> </script> <script type="text/javascript" src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js"> </script> </li></ul></div> <div class="sidebar-box"> <h3>Advertisment</h3> <div class="adlist"> <a href="http://affiliate.buy.com/gateway.aspx?adid=17662&aid=10388150&pid=2438293&sURL=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.buy.com%2Fretail%2Fclearance%2Ftodays_deals.asp%3Floc%3D14982" target="_blank"> <img src="http://www.afcyhf.com/image-2438293-10388150" width="125" height="125" alt="Buy.com Deal of the Day!" border="0"/></a> <a href="http://www.tkqlhce.com/click-2438293-10428772" target="_blank"> <img src="http://www.lduhtrp.net/image-2438293-10428772" width="125" height="125" alt="" border="0"/></a> <a href="http://www.jdoqocy.com/click-2438293-10461053" target="_blank"> <img src="http://www.tqlkg.com/image-2438293-10461053" width="125" height="125" alt="no one deals like we do!" border="0"/></a> <a href="http://www.jdoqocy.com/click-2438293-10364260" target="_top"> <img src="http://www.awltovhc.com/image-2438293-10364260" width="125" height="125" alt="Search for your next car or truck at Edmunds.com" border="0"/></a> <a href="http://www.dpbolvw.net/click-2438293-10629158" target="_blank"> <img src="http://www.tqlkg.com/image-2438293-10629158" width="125" height="125" alt="The Exclusive Black Card" border="0"/></a> <a href="http://www.kqzyfj.com/click-2438293-10666164" target="_blank"> <img src="http://www.lduhtrp.net/image-2438293-10666164" width="125" height="125" alt="10% Off Movie Tudes Titles" border="0"/></a> <a href="http://www.dpbolvw.net/click-2438293-10672270" target="_blank"> <img src="http://www.lduhtrp.net/image-2438293-10672270" width="125" height="125" alt="" border="0"/></a> <a href="http://www.jdoqocy.com/click-2438293-10526474" target="_blank"> <img src="http://www.tqlkg.com/image-2438293-10526474" width="125" height="125" alt="Compete online playing Diner Dash today!" border="0"/></a>  <div id="feedcat-box"><a href="http://www.feedcat.net/" title="RSS Feed and Atom Feed Boosting Engine"></a></div><script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.feedcat.net/js2/button.js?pub=272363&bmode=b88x25&ilng=en§ion="></script>  <p></a></p> </div> </div> <div class="sidebar-box"><h3></h3><ul class="list"><li> <style type="text/css"> .adHeadline {font: bold 10pt Arial;
