2013 Oscar Nominations Announced; Ben Affleck Snubbed for Best Director
That’s really all I have to say about the nominations, Ben Affleck got snubbed. Argo was one of the best movies of the year and he didn’t get nominated for directing (although it’s up for Best Picture). Don’t take this year’s nominations seriously; Flight got a nomination for writing.
The 85th Academy Awards will take place on February 24th, check out the nominations below:
CoF Weekend Preview: Pixar’s First Heroine
Welcome to The CoF Weekend Preview, here is a look at what’s opening this weekend and don’t forget to check out the City of Films SUMMER MOVIE GUIDE so you can plan your summer movie experience. See you here Monday for a new City Strip and the start of Ricky Gervais Week!
I’m hearing a lot of mixed things about this one, Pixar is still on top in my eyes but I guess others are expecting better and better. I’d really just like to see Brave for what looks like amazing animation, even the hair on Merida is impressive. FYI the end credits include a special tribute to Steve Jobs.
ABRAHAM LINCOLN VAMPIRE HUNTER - RT (40%) – CoF
“Four score and seven years ago…I killed vampires.” I bet that’s not a real quote in the movie, but it may as well be. This is so ridiculous is has to be seen, and surprisingly they were able to adapt the book on a budget of only $80M. It should make back its money with civil war reenactors alone.
SEEKING A FRIEND FOR THE END OF THE WORLD - RT (54%) – CoF
This movie has two of my favorite people, Patton Oswalt and Rob Corddry. Other than that, it looks like a movie you just know is going to drop the ball in the final act and chicken out from doing something new and different with the material.
Also Opening: To Rome with Love

New Trailer for Pixar’s BRAVE
Here is a new full trailer for Pixar’s Brave, it does a great job of showing us a more fun side of the movie and then the dramatic elements kick in, it looks like a winner folks. The gorgeous animation is also on display quite a lot here, could this be their best looking movie?
The film stars Kelly Macdonald, Emma Thompson, Billy Connolly, Kevin McKidd, Craig Ferguson, Robbie Coltrane, and Julie Walters.
Brave opens on June 22nd.
Visually Awesome Scene From Pixar’s BRAVE
I don’t normally like to watch scenes from movies before they are released, with Brave though I just had to see some more action and visuals. Having now watched the clip below, I’m fully satisfied and am more excited to see this flick than ever before.
The movie takes place in the Scottish Highlands and follows young princess Merida (voiced by Kelly Macdonald) who “defies an age-old custom, inadvertently unleashing chaos and fury in the kingdom”. In the scene below three men are trying to win an archery contest for Merida’s hand in marriage. Merida being the brave one she is doesn’t feel like sitting idly by while her life is planned out for her, so she takes action.
Hit the jump to watch the scene, Brave opens in 3D on June 22nd.
