The Empathy Deficit of ‘The Fighter’
It happens every year: The Oscar Academy not only is famous for ignoring obvious masterpieces. It’s equally famous for actually rewarding movies that tend to come off as completely bland and airless the moment you start to look for something … Continue reading
If Only ‘The King’s Speech’ Could Have Been A Bromantic Comedy
The Social Network is my personal favorite for the Best Picture Oscar in late February, and I will cry out in anger when it is predictably robbed of that honor by The King’s Speech, which by now seems a given.

I feel like I have to state my position on Justin Bieber in general terms before I say anything about his new book, First Step 2 Forever. The Canadian pop singer is a child of the social media revolution, discovered … Continue reading

This is the final installment in a two-part series about my experiences at Bergen International Film Festival in October.
The Movies of the 2010 Bergen International Film Festival, Part I
