Read All About Your 2012 Oscar WinnersAs I’m sure you are aware, the Academy Awards were held tonight and some of the best movies of 2011 were awarded Oscars for their achievements. But the timespan between January 1st and December 31st is a long there are new movies being released every single weekend. As a result, there’s a good chance that a) you might not have seen every title that won an award tonight and/or b) you might have missed our coverage of said title. Well, you’re in luck....by Eric Eisenberg | published: 2012-02-26 23:34:41comments
Predicting The 2012 Oscar Winners: Original Score, Original Song, Costumes And MoreToday brings us round two, still full of technical prizes, but with some standout categories like Best Original Score and Best Original Song, as well as a few hotly contested spots, where it's basically Academy favorites Hugo and The Artist duking it out to see who's prettier...by Katey Rich | published: 2012-02-21 14:08:11comments
For Your Consideration: As A True Love Letter To Cinema, Hugo Should Be KingWhile James Cameron may be the most prominent name when it comes to 3D filmmaking today, with Hugo it was Martin Scorsese who truly explored the potential of the new technology, but more importantly used it to make a statement about the art. By filming The Artist in the classic non-widescreen ratio and without color, Hazanavicius made homage to what things used to be like and it’s a nice gimmick, but, conversely, Scorsese actually used 3D......by Eric Eisenberg | published: 2012-02-17 20:54:07comments
Scorsese's Hugo Hits DVD February 28thMartin Scorsese's fantastical Hugo may still not have made back its budget yet ($170 million according to IMDb; it's grossed $75.6 million worldwide so far), but it's definitely earned some fans in Hollywood. It's landed 11 Oscar nominations, including Best Picture and Best Director alongside unsurprising nods in categories like Visual Effects and Costume Design. Unfortunately, if you were hoping to watch it before the Academy Awards air, you'll have to try to find a theater still playing it, because Hugo won't arrive on Blu-ray and DVD until February 28th....by David Wharton | published: 2012-01-31 13:40:34comments
Josh's Top 10 Movies Of 2011A decade spent working as a professional film critic has brought me here, to my tenth annual obligatory best of the year list. What you're getting here is a list of the 2011 movies which I think were the best. This list has the soul of a hero....by Josh Tyler | published: 2011-12-29 21:13:28comments
Harrison Ford, Abigail Breslin Confirmed For Gavin Hood's Ender's GameProduction on Ender’s Game begins early next year in New Orleans. Do you think Ford’s the right choice to play Graff alongside Butterfield? Or, after Cowboys & Aliens, are you wondering if Ford should give the sci-fi genre a rest for the time being? Graff sounds like the kind of gruff, superior character Ford’s capable of playing in his sleep....by Sean O'Connell | published: 2011-12-21 14:00:55comments
Drive, The Artist And Hugo Lead Critics Choice Award NomineesThe BFCAs cover all the categories done by the Oscars-- yes, including Best Sound-- and then add a few of their own to the end, so instead of going through each category individually it seems easier to simply look for surprises. They nominated six people in each acting category-- all the better to predict the Oscars with, my dear...by Katey Rich | published: 2011-12-13 06:44:44comments
Martin Scorsese's Hugo Named Best Film By National Board Of ReviewThe National Board of Review is the next awards giving body to step into the breach, and they've done so with a big surprise, naming Martin Scorsese's Hugo the Best Film of 2011. The NBR, traditionally the first group to announce their awards for the year, comes on the heels of New York Film Critics Circle, which named The Artist Best Picture on Tuesday...by Katey Rich | published: 2011-12-01 13:28:20comments
Martin Scorsese Reportedly Working On A British Cinema DocumentaryIn a lengthy feature on Michael Henry Wilson’s new book Scorsese On Scorsese, The Independent UK reports that the Oscar-winning director is collaborating with Wilson on a “new doc about British cinema.” It’s one of those news nuggets that dropped in the middle of an introductory paragraph, and never mentioned again....by Sean O'Connell | published: 2011-12-01 09:23:06comments
Hugo Producer Graham King On 3D And Johnny Depp's Attempted CameoOver the Thanksgiving holiday Martin Scorsese's Hugo opened on significantly fewer screens than the other big releases, but managed to do quite nicely for itself anyway-- $11.3 million from just over 1100 screens is nothing to scoff at, especially when you've made a children's film that's also a love letter to old movies...by Katey Rich | published: 2011-11-28 06:00:23comments
Weekend Box Office: Vampires Wolf Down Thanksgiving LeftoversThere was a lot for audiences to be thankful for this weekend, but there were only two movies that had anything to celebrate Breaking Dawn kept its sparkly fangs sunk into the number one spot for a seond weekend, pulling down an additional 42 million for a grand total of $221 million in US sales to date. That's about $10 million less than second entry New Moon and $15 million third in the series, Eclipse....by Scott Gwin | published: 2011-11-27 18:25:48comments
Scorsese's Hugo Jumps 40% In Thanksgiving Day Box OfficeOf course, $14 million is still a fraction of what Hugo cost, and the movie will need to play strong throughout the holidays to even begin making its money back. But as a labor of love for Scorsese, and the most brilliantly rendered 3D seen since Avatar, Hugo is winning some ecstatic critical reviews and the kind of overall affection that tends to keep films buoyed for a long time...by Katey Rich | published: 2011-11-25 09:30:19comments
Operation Kino Podcast #38: The Muppets And Hugo ReviewedThis week on Operation Kino we're getting right down to business: there are a ton of movies coming to theaters this weekend, and in particular two kid-friendly movies that are both worth your time (actually there are 3, but we didn't review Arthur Christmas this time). Absent David, who was lost in the throes of filmmaker at the time, the rest of the crew reviews The Muppets and Hugo...by Katey Rich | published: 2011-11-23 08:28:53comments
To 3D Or Not To 3D: Buy The Right Hugo TicketWith one of cinema's great living masters, Martin Scorsese, using the 3D format for the first time, Hugo promises to be another leap forward for the format-- it's no coincidence that James Cameron has been publicly championing it. But is the 3D in Hugo enough to just please the 3D geeks, or actually be worth your extra ticket dollars? Find out below in our latest installment of To 3D or Not To 3D...by Katey Rich | published: 2011-11-22 11:12:15comments
Hugo Star Asa Butterfield Reveals The Scorsese Movies He's Still Not Allowed To WatchWith Hugo behind him and a potential starring role in Ender's Game ahead of him (though he's quick to say nothing is official), Butterfield is now figuring out how to navigate what seems like a quickly arriving stardom. I talked to him over the weekend about what he learned from Martin Scorsese, how Sacha Baron Cohen and Ben Kingsley taught him to stay in character between takes...by Katey Rich | published: 2011-11-22 06:34:29comments
This Rotten Week: Predicting The Muppets, Hugo And Arthur Christmas ReviewsHave you heard the buzz? People at work talking about it? Maybe caught a snippet of the story on the news? We had another exact prediction last week! The phones won’t stop ringing around here. But it’s another week and no time to rest on any imaginary laurels.

Exclusive Clip From Martin Scorsese's Hugo: Meet Uncle GeorgesIf you know your film history, you may get a hint at how the movie ties into one of the great early filmmakers near the end of it. Otherwise you can enjoy the magical, slightly surreal sight of what happens when Chloe Moretz's Isabelle digs up her Uncle Georges' (Ben Kingsley) case full of old drawings. As you can tell at the end, he's not at all happy about her snooping...by Katey Rich | published: 2011-11-17 10:14:58comments
Martin Scorsese's Fantasy World Expands In Second Hugo TrailerThe real draw of Hugo, beyond the eye-popping production values or John Logan’s immersive script, will be Scorsese’s first foray into 3D storytelling. From everything we are hearing, it’s some of the best 3D ever attempted. Which, given Scorsese’s reputation as a visual genius, should surprise no one. ...by Sean O'Connell | published: 2011-10-24 12:19:46comments
Martin Scorsese's Hugo Poster Has Time On Its SideOf course, it’s Scorsese’s 3D images that really are going to help sell Hugo. Our own Katey Rich called them “probably the most gorgeous live-action 3D film ever made.” Statements do not come more bold than that, and we’re all dying to see for ourselves what Scorsese was able to accomplish in Hugo....by Sean O'Connell | published: 2011-10-22 12:54:56comments
Scorsese's Hugo, Even Unfinished, May Be The Best Live-Action 3D Film EverThe first thing to know about Martin Scorsese's Hugo, which screened in unfinished form as part of the New York Film Festival tonight, is that it must be seen in 3D. This surprised me as much as anyone else. Yes, Hugo is a new 3D film from a filmmaker who's not just great, but an expert on film history and the medium itself-- it was clear that Scorsese wasn't going to half-ass this...by Katey Rich | published: 2011-10-10 21:45:27comments
Scorsese Himself Narrates New Trailer For Hugo, Which Screens In New York TonightBecause Hugo has been left out of a lot of the early Oscar speculation and seems to be dismissed by some as "just as kids movie," it goes into tonight's NYFF screening with refreshingly low expectations, always a good thing for a movie that's being shown before it's even finished...by Katey Rich | published: 2011-10-10 14:44:54comments
Scorsese's Hugo Cabret Trailer Does Upbeat Family FantasyThe movie is based on the historical fiction novel The Invention of Hugo Cabret, first published in 2007. It tells the story of an orphan who lives in inside the walls of a Paris train station. There he searches for the answer to a mystery left to him by his father. Apparently there is also some sort of robot. America likes robots. ...by Josh Tyler | published: 2011-07-14 17:34:16comments
First Poster For Martin Scorsese's Hugo DiscoveredFollowing a screening I attended earlier this evening at the Arclight Hollywood in Los Angeles, I spotted the one sheet hanging on the wall. More of a teaser than anything, the design simply features a key with a heart on the end as well an an engraved "H" and a tagline that reads "Unlock the Secret." Check out the poster below. Hugo hits theaters on November 23....by Eric Eisenberg | published: 2011-07-11 23:12:28comments
