Well boys and girls, the semester is upon us, and sadly I must discontinue The Movie News That Matters, but I will leave you with one last piece of info.
The best movie of last year was not "The Hurt Locker", or even the wildly popular "Avatar", It was not the heart turning "Precious" or the intellectual "District 9." No people the best movie of the year by far was . . . . .
INGLORIOUS BASTERDS!
How the academy could snub Tarantino again is beyond me, is it because their was a women, a blockbuster, and an Indie film staring African-Americans all running against it. The answer is all of the above.
"Basterds" was intellectual, cimematographicly perfect, and above all, well acted by all. you felt as if you were watching the story unflod before your eyes no matter how long the dialogue ran on. It was visually beautiful and sounded as if you were in France in 1942.
The Academy is political and always will be, do not let them fool you into thinking what they tell you is correct, because history as taught they are not always right, and seldom will they be. Seek out little watched movies, and Indie films. Find little known actors and follow them, I promise you that you will see once in a lifetime performances and much better stories than you will have ever expected.
On that note everyone have a great summer and be safe.
Yours truly! The One, The Only! CMFK
