Awards Moderator Onyx2 Posted December 18, 2013 Awards Moderator Share Posted December 18, 2013 The Rock is the top grossing actor of 2013 Â Props to the big guy, he must be turning heads in Hollywood with the money he's bringing in. Â I'm sure Hulk will be along shortly to claim he grossed $88 kajillion last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Awards Moderator HarmonicGenerator Posted December 28, 2013 Awards Moderator Share Posted December 28, 2013 Empire website list of 100 Films to see in 2014 Â There's probably around 30 in there that catch my eye, which seems consistent with how often I see new films over the course of a year, so this could be a handy guide for me next year!

Â Glad to see The Grand Budapest Hotel in there. It looks to be absolutely hilarious from the trailers, with Ralph Fiennes playing some sort of upper class Swiss Tony.

KingOfMetal Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 The British Board of Film Classification is to more closely scrutinise horror movies under new guidelines for certifying films. The BBFC said it would pay attention to the impact of gore and strong visuals in its deliberations.  But after asking the public, there will be more flexibility for strong language in films given a 15 certificate.  The BBFC consultation showed the sexualisation of young women in film and music videos to be a major concern.  The findings revealed the content of some music promos and ease of accessibility to online pornography are also a public worry.  Other amendments that are being made to the organisation's guidelines include tightening up of language in U certificate films, deemed suitable for all viewers.  The BBFC has also said it will give greater weight to the theme and tone of films which are issued with parental guidance (PG) and suitable for 12-year-olds and over (12A) certificates.  12A 'confusing' Changes to the guidelines will come into force on 24 February.  The organisation admitted the 12A classification continues to confuse many viewers, and further work to improve understanding of the certification would be carried out this year.  The BBFC's website states that 12A means that "anyone aged 12 or over can go and see the film unaccompanied".  Children younger than 12 may see the film "if they are accompanied by an adult (eg someone over the age of 18), who must watch the film with them".  Jane Levy in 2013's Evil Dead Horror film Evil Dead was given an 18 certificate due to its gore and violence The BBFC's exercise involved some 10,000 members of the public, with teenagers as well as their parents taking part for the first time.  They were asked their opinions on how various issues in film and video, including sex and violence, should be handled.  BBFC director David Cooke said the exercise "ensures that we continue to be in step with what the public wants and expects in order to make sensible and informed viewing decisions".  But he also conceded there was "room for improvement", referring to the need to bring more clarity to the "very important" 12A certificate.  The BBFC also said that its respondents largely agreed with the 12A certificate for 2012's The Woman in Black, despite it being the most complained-about film of the past four years.

Awards Moderator HarmonicGenerator Posted January 16, 2014 Awards Moderator Share Posted January 16, 2014 (edited) Oscar nominations are out. Really surprised not to see Tom Hanks nominated for Captain Phillips, also surprised that Emma Thompson hasn't been nominated for Saving Mr Banks, and that Blackfish didn't get a Documentary nomination (though that last one wasn't necessarily as expected as the Hanks/Thompson noms). Can't really argue with who has been nominated for Actor, but still, no room for Hanks? Less surprisingly, bloody American Hustle nominated all over the place.  Frontrunners seem to be Hustle, 12 Years A Slave and (sorry guys) Gravity.  FILM 12 Years A Slave American Hustle Captain Phillips Gravity Dallas Buyers Club Her Nebraska Philomena The Wolf Of Wall Street  DIRECTOR Steve McQueen - 12 Years A Slave David O.

Paid Members chokeout Posted January 16, 2014 Paid Members Share Posted January 16, 2014 (edited) Not even seen it but I want Bruce Dern to win.

Paid Members Devon Malcolm Posted January 16, 2014 Paid Members Share Posted January 16, 2014 He should at least have been nominated for Silent Running in 1973, Family Plot in 1977 and The Driver in 1981. They're all exceptional performances and he's a great actor. Him winning would almost single-handedly restore my faith in the Oscars.

Loki Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 And if Matthew McConaughey won? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Devon Malcolm Posted January 16, 2014 Paid Members Share Posted January 16, 2014 I like McConaughey. He was fantastic in Killer Joe. But Bruce Dern is the only logical choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vamp Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 I can see why gravity would win some technical awards. The soundtrack should because it made sure you didn't fall asleep and miss the pretty pictures. But best actress and best film are ridiculous. I actually wanted the woman to die halfway through because I felt no sympathy for her, had been defended by fog horns and was thoroughly bored.

What the actual fuck! Gladders have you seen the Blu ray of Silent Running? Its beautiful, looks like it was made last year. In fact i think im gonna have to watch that again tonight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Devon Malcolm Posted January 16, 2014 Paid Members Share Posted January 16, 2014 No, no nomination for it. Let's face it, he should have got one for The 'Burbs as well. Â I haven't seen a Blu-Ray anything but I'm definitely rewatching Silent Running again soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCW Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 I thought American Hustle was alright (mainly due to Amy Adams cleavage and Louie CK's fishing story) but its a bit of a stretch having it up for best film.Same for Gravity,looked good but story was fairly meh.Hopefully Nebraska,or failing that,Captain Phillips get the nod. Â Dern for best actor and Adams for best actress (just so Bullock doesn't win again if nothing else) would be grand too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
