Your Poster Is Cool | Never Let Me Go
Mark Romanek’s adaptation of Kazuo Ishiguro’s acclaimed novel Never Let Me Go opens in limited release on September 15th, and judging from the film’s trailer Romanek seems to have crafted a very unique dramatic film. Fox Searchlight has recently released three character posters for the film, and although they are merely the actors faces there is something very haunting and poetic about them. Never Let Me Go stars Carey Mulligan (An Education, Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps), Andrew Garfield (The Social Network, Spider-Man Reboot), Keira Knightley (Pride and Prejudice, The Duchess), and is directed by Mark Romanek (One Hour Photo). Continue on to check out the posters for the film, as well as the trailers for Never Let Me Go and Romanek’s underrated directorial debut One Hour Photo.

Oscar Winners
Overall, this years awards went down as expected and were kind of bland. I kept hoping for an upset, but the biggest one I got was Geoffrey Fletcher winning Best Adapated Screeplay for Precious over Jason Reitman’s script for Up in the Air. It was cool seeing Kathryn Bigelow become the first woman to win in the directing category. Dito, as for seeing “The Dude” himself, Jeff Bridges, win for Crazy Heart. The Hurt Locker had a big night sweeping all the major awards including Best Picture.

The BAFTAs or Oscars with an Accent
It's the Oscar you can wear
“The Hurt Locker” took home all the big prizes at this years BAFTAs, the British version of the Oscars. Kathryn Bigelow added another notch to her belt on her quest to become the first female director to win a Academy Award by taking the Best Director prize. The film also took home Best Film and Original Screenplay while “Avatar” was snubbed in all the major categories.
Now wether or not these awards are a good indicator of the Oscars remains to be seen, but Bigelow is looking more and more like a sure thing. Especially after winning Best Director at the Directors Guild the other day. Check out her acceptance speech below. Read the rest of this entry »
