New Movies in Theaters: February 18, 2011
18, Feb 2011by Dan
Unknown – NR – watch the trailer ►
Stars Liam Neeson, Diane Kruger and January Jones.
I Am Number Four – NR – watch the trailer ►
Starring Alex Pettyfer, Timothy Olyphant, Teresa Palmer and Dianna Agron.
And at 24 I am now officially old because the only name I recognize there is Olyphant’s.
Big Mommas: Like Father, Like Son – NR – watch the trailer ►
I like to look for the positives in everything, and this movie is really testing me in trying to find something nice to say. All I have so far is that co-star Jessica Lucas is incredibly cute. The rest of the movie looks really bad though.

In Search of Best Picture
17, Feb 2011
by Nigel Druitt
As the Oscar telecast creeps up on us again, it begs the question: How many times has the Academy really gotten this “Best Picture” thing right, anyway?
Think about it. How many controversial decisions are there in the Academy’s history? How many times is a movie other than Best Picture long remembered as the best of the year?

Flickchart Film School: 1922
16, Feb 2011
by Ross Bonaime
The evolution of film hardly slowed down in 1922. In Russia, filmmaker Lev Kuleshov starting to experiment with a new editing technique called “montage”. The technique would be made popular by fellow Russian filmmakers such as Sergei Eisenstein in the upcoming years. Meanwhile in America, the first 3D feature film was shown to a paying audience. In Los Angeles, The Power of Love, which has since become a lost film, used red and green coloring and became the first film to use an early version of 3D glasses.

The Guilty Pleasures: “Ricochet”

Ricochet (1991 | Rated R)Flickchart Ranking: #3835
|
It’s right around the time that John Lithgow and Jesse Ventura equip themselves with phone book armor and huge metal rods to have a death-stick prison-fight to determine who the true “Aryan Warrior” is that I realized, sweet lord this movie is bringing the ruckus. It wasn’t the first scene of awesome and it definitely wasn’t the last but it perfectly encapsulates what makes this crazy little movie one of the most memorable action movies around.
