James Gunn gave a great Q&A Monday night at the IFFBoston presented screening of “SUPER,” his new film, featuring actors Rainn Wilson, Ellen Paige, and Kevin Bacon. Gunn touches on how he got such a great cast of actors, the challenges of the production, comments on the comparisons to “Kick-Ass,” and has some advice for …
In this recut trailer, the John Hughes classic Ferris Buellers Day Off is recut as a modern-day indie coming of age story. SO well done. Enjoy.
So it’s Oscar time again, and I guess the little experiment of having 10 Best Pictures worked from last year. Once again, they have taken a crappy year in general and milked 10 movies from it. I have mixed feelings on this 10 Best Picture thing. On one hand, I like it because it gives …
Looking over the names and movies nominated, it appears that 2010 was a pretty good year at the movies, critics be damned.

I was excited at the prospect of dusting off my Lonely Reviewer cap and jumping into the fray again by discussing this year’s top Oscar nominees and my predictions and hopefuls.

So the awards season has officially come to a close, and ‘The Hurt Locker’ comes out on top with six awards in total, including Best Picture and Best Director. Honestly, the results were no surprise, we’ve heard nothing but Hurt Locker buzz for the past few weeks. Though my personal opinion holds that I feel …
Every year here at LonelyReviewer.com, we try to see how close we can get to predicting the Oscars. In years past, each of the bloggers have done their own list. This year, we decided we’d pick and feature one. Ben and I have always gone back and forth on whose picks are better, who gets …
