Overstayed Welcome

Join TJ and Joseph as they discuss The Piano Guys teaming up with Lindsey Stirling for a ‘Mission Impossible’ music video and the incredible talent they bring to the screen, and to the music, the upcoming film, ‘Gangster Squad’ and the six teaser clips recently released to promote it, more talk of ‘Hansel and Gretel’, Joseph’s ‘Hitchcock’ review and some general thoughts on the film, and the news that Guillermo Del Toro turned down the opportunity to direct ‘Star Wars VII’. Then the main topic this week is Django Unchained. There was plenty to like and plenty to dislike about the film and TJ and Joseph dive in praising and disparaging the film in equal parts. They have a lot of fun with this one! And then, the big announcement of who won the HD TV giveaway. Be sure to tune in!

2013 Oscar Nominees

2013 Oscar Nominees
The Oscars

Surprise! The Avengers has been nominated for Visual Effects. I’m sort of surprised to see the film anywhere on the list actually. Though it was my personal favorite from last year, these sorts of awards don’t tend to acknowledge films like The Avengers.

There is some stiff competition in that category, but just getting the nomination, that’s something.

Best Picture includes Argo, Les Misérables, and Django Unchained. Best Actor includes Daniel Day-Lewis and Hugh Jackman.

There’s lots more, some good, a couple head scratchers (Brave as best animated film? Really?). Head on over and…

‘Independence Day 2’ Rumor

‘Independence Day 2’ Rumor
The Playlist - Indiewire.com

We’re nine days into 2013, so might as well put in the annual “Independence Day” sequel rumors. For the past few years, a followup to the blockbuster July 4th hit has been talked about, without anything concrete ever actually happening. Roland Emmerich has long said he would be game, but the sticking point seems to be Will Smith, who Fox apparently wants to sign off on everything before shooting begins, so that the production fiasco that accompanied “Men In Black 3” doesn’t replicate here. But what if Big Willie doesn’t want to do it? No problem.

Crave recently caught up with Bill…

‘Lincoln,’ ‘Les Mis,’ & ‘Life of Pi’ Lead BAFTA Nominations

And Tarantino is on “Best Director” list.

This week is so awards-heavy that the British Academy Of Film And Television Arts (or BAFTA, to their mum) had to squeeze their announcement in at 7.30 GMT, a time when it’s dark in the U.K, New York and Los Angeles. And while BAFTA can often back British fare over the films that have otherwise dominated the awards conversation, this year saw them stick fairly closely to the awards narrative in general, with “Skyfall,” “Best Exotic Marigold Hotel” and “Anna Karenina” all failing to sweep the board in the way that some had suggested (though all…
