Oscar voters get three more DVDs: 'Coco Before Chanel,' 'Damned United,' 'Whatever Works'

30 October 2009 8:45 AM, PDT | Gold Derby | See recent Gold Derby news »

On Thursday, Oscar voters received the second, third and fourth DVD screeners sent to the full academy — all three from Sony Pictures Classics, which thus becomes the first major studio out of the gate: "Coco Before Chanel," "The Damned United" and "Whatever Works." Other Spc screeners ("An Education," "The Last Station," "Broken Embraces," "White Ribbon") will be sent later in derby season, a studio rep promises. "A Prophet" is eligible only in the race for best foreign-language film, which requires theatrical screenings, so DVDs of that will not be shipped. The only previous DVD sent to all academy members was "Anvil! The Story of Anvil." Some bloggers reported that "The Messenger" was also sent, but that's not true. At least not yet. It was sent to journalists, but a copy won't be shipped to academy members for another week or so. Economic hard times may severely limit the number of »

Top 15 Performances in a Woody Allen Film

10 July 2009 1:53 PM, PDT | SoundOnSight | See recent SoundOnSight news »

Originally Posted in Creative Loafing [1] Tampa. Very few filmmakers are known for their casting power. Woody Allen [2] may be one of the best. He is always great at getting Hollywood's biggest movie stars and the latest indie up and comers into his films (and with perfect timing). He worked with Sally Hawkins [3] and Samantha Morton [4] right when they were about to hit it big. His latest, Whatever Works [5], has some of the most coveted actors around (Evan Rachel Wood [6], Larry David [7], and Patricia Clarkson [8]). Here are my 15 favorite performances in a Woody Allen film: 15) Rebecca Hall [9] - Vicky Cristina Barcelona [10] (2008) Hall is reminiscent of Kate Winslet [11] in that she can convey multiple emotions with astounding subtlety. Many consider Vicky to be the first female Woody Allen character. On paper maybe, but Hall turns the role into so much more, perfectly relating the character's fears and her longing to make life exciting and meaningful. »

Don’t Call it a Comeback -- Dellamorte reviews Vicky Christina Barcelona

20 January 2009 | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »

Woody Allen has been making films for forty years now. Forty years, with forty feature length films to his credit if you include What’s Up Tiger Lily? That’s a lot of movies. And it’s understandable that if he makes some bad movies (which he has throughout his career) and then makes a great film (which he’s made a ton of). It’s Woody, so let’s say Sleeper, Love and Death, Annie Hall, Manhattan, Zelig, The Purple Rose of Cario, Hannah and Her Sisters, Crimes and Misdemeanors, Husbands and Wives, Bullets Over Broadway, Deconstructing Harry, Match Point. Twelve great films. And that’s not including his merely good films. As a batting average that’s pretty great. So add another one to the fire, because Vicky Cristina Barcelona is one of his great ones. Rebecca Hall plays Vicky, Scarlet Johansson plays Cristina. Vicky is about to »
