Boyhood is making money
a bigger and bigger indie box office success. Ever since it debuted to
an almost religious response at the Sundance Film Festival back in
January, we’ve known that the movie would be a critical favorite.
The question was always if the flick would be seen by anyone outside
of the niche independent audience that goes to art houses and pays
attention to reviews. Well, I’m here to say that Boyhood is being
seen by way more folks than that, which is only helping it become
a more and more viable Oscar player. It’s made $10.5 million and
there’s plenty more to come. The movie was never going to be an
easy sell. A nearly three hour coming of age story that rewards
patience and noticing subtle changes? Yeah, that doesn’t sound like
an indie sensation to me either, but here we are. Boyhood is
currently the third highest grossing film of all time for IFC Films
and while the over $241 million that My Big Fat Greek Wedding
made isn’t attainable, we’re very close to Linklater’s flick passing
the $13.8 million of Y Tu Mama Tambien for second place.
A final gross well over $20 million seems to be in the cards.
Many a Best Picture nominee has had a gross far lower than that.
If things do break the right way for this contender, then we could
see Linklater finally win an Oscar. Most likely, that would be in
the Best Original Screenplay category, though the filmmaker could
at long last be honored with a nod in Best Director. Other potential
noms are in Best Picture obviously, Best Actor for Ellar Coltrane,
Best Supporting Actor fro Ethan Hawke, Best Supporting Actress
for Patricia Arquette, Best Cinematography, and Best Film Editing
as well. A half dozen citations are not out of the question here.
At the same time, I must stress again that this isn’t your typical awards
player and we really don’t know how it will be received by Oscar voters,
especially if some of the buzz had died down by the time they see it.
American Sniper-Bradley Cooper and Clint Eastwood
to the big screen. Cooper in fact initially had Steven Spielberg lined up
to direct, but when he had to step away, Eastwood came on board and
seemingly has utilized his efficient filmmaking techniques and gotten the
project ready for release this year. Instead of coming out in 2015,
American Sniper now is prepping for an Oscar qualifying release at
the end of December. For those of you unaware what American
Sniper is about, it’s an adaptation of the novel by Chris Kyle, a
Navy SEAL who recorded over 150 kills as a sniper before
tragically dying on home turf in a shooting accident. Cooper will
play Kyle, while the supporting cast includes the likes of Kyle
Gallner, Lucas Grimes, Sam Jaeger, Sienna Miller, and more.
The screenplay is by Jason Dean Hall and of course Eastwood
is behind the camera. There’s certainly some potential here for
awards attention, no doubt about that. Back when Eastwood
made Million Dollar Baby, this same release strategy was used
to great effect. That was another film that initially wasn’t on the
calendar, but then snuck up on folks. I remember the late Roger
Ebert being one of the first to talk about it, saying it was going to
win Best Picture, and go figure…it did. It also won Best Actress
for Hilary Swank and Best Director for Eastwood, so I’m sure
the powers that be are hoping that the same thing can happen
here, just substituting Cooper into the Best Actor field instead.
If this film is good, one can certainly see it contending in the Best Picture
, Best Director for Eastwood, Best Actor for Cooper, Best Supporting
Actor for Grimes perhaps, Best Supporting Actress for Miller,
Best Adapted Screenplay, and various technical Oscar categories.
My guess is that Best Picture and Best Actor will be the major plays,
as Cooper could look to turn his potential third nomination into his
first Academy Award win. That’s just a hunch, but it’s not a total
shot in the dark either.
Robin Williams-the Best Performances
than a celebrity’s passing usually does. Part of it has to do with the fact
that it was a suicide, but more than anything it’s just the loss of such a
beacon of happiness and humor. Williams struggled with depression,
but he made it his mission in life to bring joy to others. As such, I couldn’t
not pay tribute to the man, but I wanted to be able to take a little bit of
time and think about his work before doing this article. Below you’ll find
Williams’ ten best performances, not counting his genius stand up work,
of course. 10. World’s Greatest Dad – An incredibly dark comedy,
Williams does some very underrated work in a project that’s really hard
to watch now. It involves themes that will hit too close to home, but one
day we’ll be able to approach this one again and I hope more people
will realize how good he was in it. It’s a black comedy, but Williams
anchors it in emotion. 9. Moscow on the Hudson – Another under
seen film (and one that has sort of been forgotten ever since The Terminal
came out, consider some similarities in plot, Williams got to show range
in this one. I hope folks seek this one out now, as it deserves a second look.
He’s quite good here, I assure you. 8. Insomnia – The only time Williams
went and played a full on villain, and boy is he chilling.
He does it in such a calm way, you’re just unnerved. This is a “lesser”
Christopher Nolan outing to most, but Williams is easily the best part
of it. He aces his part. 7. The Fisher King – Perhaps Terry Gilliam’s
crowning achievement or at least his most underrated, Williams
gets to mix his manic energy with some real pathos here. There’s his
trademark comedy, for sure, but he’ll also break your heart before
all is said and done. This is one of the best mixes of his talents and
an absolute must watch. 6. One Hour Photo – It was such a startling
sight to see Williams playing such a restrained figure like this one.
A tragic villain of sorts, he’s so tightly coiled you keep waiting for him to strike.
iPhone has evolved to be a fantastic camera
even more out of it and develop your own photographic style with
a few apps handy.
Camera replacement: ProCamera 7
ProCamera 7 is a surprisingly simple camera app at the surface,
that also hides many advanced features in a way that is unobtrusive
yet easy to access. Before we jump into them, though, it’s worth
pointing out how stable and crash-free this app is, something
very important given that even the most popular iPhone camera apps often crash.
