A guilty pleasure
Pure fun B-movie action/horror. Won't win any Oscars but an entertaining film with pretty good SFX.

Norton's Materpiece
Motherless Brooklyn is what cinema was made for. Written, directed and starring Norton, this is a beautiful ode to Film Noir and an attack on the elite with many parrelels to Trump.
Everything from the cinematography to the soundtrack is exceptional. How was this not even mentioned at the Oscars?
  
From war epics and documentaries to romcoms and sci-fi flicks, here are the top picks so far for movies with Oscars potential.

With the film festival circuit behind us, critics are already drawing up their list of the runners and riders for next year's Oscars.

It seems like a common opinion that the Oscars are kind of BS, but I am rooting for one person. Rami Malek attended my alma mater, so I am 100% hoping he wins.

IT HAPPENED ONE NIGHT (1934) was the first film to "sweep" the Oscars - winning Best Picture, Actor, Actress, Director and Screenplay. It has only happened two other times - can you name these two films?
