As Cannes-privileged naysayers gnash their cutlasses in anticipation of quickly, yet comprehensively misunderstimating Terrence Malick’s new film, Searchlight releases new images. Who made those pretty pictures, mommy? Why, that was Steadicam operator Joerg Widmer and cinematographer Emmanuel Lubezki!

Frenzy on the Wall: Looking Forward to a New (Hopefully Better) Year
Monday, January 3rd, 20112010 was not my favorite year at the movies. There were certainly films that I enjoyed and ones that I expect to own and revisit more than a few times, but there wasn’t a single film that made me shudder or give me goosebumps or to even make me gasp aloud. In other words, while there were a couple of great films in 2010, there was only one or two that made me say, “Yes! That is why I love cinema.” But the great thing about life is that every time the year changes, it’s a clean slate, and there’s always something to look forward to.

Gurus o’ Gold – A Pre-Toronto Look At The 2010/11 Field
Monday, September 6th, 2010Welcome to the first Gurus gathering of this upcoming season.
It always seems a little silly to offer strong opinions before the Toronto International Film Festival has even begun. So we don’t. Consider these a gentle guide to what the buzz is, very early in the season.
We asked The Gurus to offer their 15 favorites to end up nominated for Best Picture come January. No ranking, No “sure things.” Just instinct and as much insight as is possible at this moment.
Last year, we did the same and the result was that The Gurus hit seven of the final ten in their Top Ten from this long distance. Two more were picked in the Top Sixteen. And the only film to get nominated that was nowhere to be found on this early list? The Blind Side. (Perhaps that explains the shock from the media when it got nominated… even after becoming a well-reviewed massive box office hit.) So maybe this early poll isn’t really all that silly .
Is there a stone unturned this year? Well, not Stone, which got a vote from Pete Howell. And not Tree of Life, which got 4 votes last year at this time… and just 3 votes this time around (2 of them from the same Gurus as last year).
This is not the look for the future of Gurus moving forward. But our team is designing a databased system that will launch when Gurus goes full-out in November. So, until then…
UPDATE, 9/7/10 – The last three Gurus have now chimed in.
