After watching the Oscar telecast for so many years, one cannot help but wonder this year, what the hell happened?
It’s Oscar Sunday, and with The Oscar Rant out there, more opinions have popped up about the ten best films of 2014.
Paul Preston’s annual, exhaustive, no-stone-left-unturned once over of all the nominees. All of them.
Showcast Episode 88: The Oscars are February 22nd and The Movie Guys are live from the red carpet on Hollywood Blvd…on February 18th. Despite Oscar-fever, the studios are releasing “Hot Tub Time Machine 2”, “The Duff” and “McFarland USA”, which all get the preview treatment. Also, Paul, Karen, Bart & Adam give up their Top Five films of 2014 and special guest actor Ayman Samman talks about working on Oscar nominee “American Sniper”.
Self-congratulation is still the rage in TinselTown. Who are we to not report on it? Agree? Disagree? It doesn’t matter, the awards will go out week after week until the Oscars, February 22nd, 2015.
Showcast Episode 42: Two movies, two guests. “Divergent” and “Muppets Most Wanted” get the signature Movie Guys movie preview treatment and stand-up comic Jim Coughlin sits in the whole show, and The Admiral’s Club welcomes its first puppet guest to the studio.
It’s [Wes Anderson’s] best movie since “The Life Aquatic” and arguably his third best with that and “Rushmore”. He’s honed his peculiar craft and brought together an endlessly enjoyable menagerie of pathos and comedy buttressed by talented collaborators.
Showcast Episode 40: Good friend of The Movie Guys Vanessa Whitney sits in the whole show to preview a big, three-movie weekend, including “300: Rise of an Empire”, “Mr. Peabody & Sherman” and “The Grand Budapest Hotel”. Plus, West Hollywood and Borscht Belt movie reviews and an Oscar recap.
