Gravity opens in theaters everywhere today, October 4. Check GoWatchIt for showtimes. Alfonso Cuarón is a director for your inner film nerd.

Cuarón’s last film was the amazing “Children of Men,” which featured some of the most innovative camera work I’ve seen in modern cinema – I expect nothing …
The 2012 Academy Awards are this weekend, and once again, we’re all trying to come up with who we think will go home with the Oscars this weekend. I like to really look at the various industry awards (SAG, DGA, ACE) while making my prediction. A month ago, I was sure that Hugo would be …
