Oscars 2014: List Of Winners, Including 12 YEARS A SLAVE And GRAVITY

Posted: 02 Mar 2014 09:04 PM PST

Another year, another Academy Awards, and this time there were almost no surprises regarding the winners. As expected, Steve McQueen's 12 Years a Slave won the biggest prize of the night, Best Picture, but overall it was Alfonso Cuarón's Gravity the film that took home more Oscars, with a total of seven (including Best Director, Cinematography and Visual Effects). Aside of these two films, the other multiple winners were Dallas Buyers Club, The Great Gatsby and Frozen. In the gallery below you can check out each and every winner of the 2014 Academy Awards......

Twitch Picks the 2014 Oscars

Posted: 02 Mar 2014 09:00 AM PST

Love them -- for honoring the ostensible best-made movies -- or hate them -- for reducing an art form to an insufferably smug horse race -- the Academy Awards can inspire and provoke discussion about movies like nothing else. And though it's horribly biased toward Hollywood, the world still tunes in to the annual broadcast to watch the stars, to argue about the winners, and to catch a glimpse of what Hollywood thinks of itself. (Hint: too much!) In that spirit, a half-dozen of my colleagues here at Twitch have pitched in to help me pick the Oscar winners. Some chose the "should win / will win" formula, which is always popular, but others of us went with the tried-and-true "if I had a vote" gambit....

Now on Blu-ray: PERFECT BLUE Gets Some Much Needed Attention From Anime Ltd. (UK)

Posted: 02 Mar 2014 07:00 AM PST

I'm not going to pretend that I have anything new to say about Kon Satoshi's gut-punch of a directorial debut, Perfect Blue. The 1997 film is one of modern anime's most acclaimed and well known masterpieces around the world that has, strangely, found very little love on home video here in North America. After Kon's sudden death in 2010 (he died only a few months after learning that he had terminal cancer), the world finally started to take notice of this filmmaker who'd been quietly making some of the finest animated films coming out of Japan in the late '90s through the late 2000s. Perfect Blue was, and still is, a marvelous, tense, and riveting thriller that never feels like a typical anime, it just...

OFFSCREEN Film Festival Brussels Welcomes Radley Metzger, And A Whole Lot More

Posted: 02 Mar 2014 06:00 AM PST

This week, the seventh edition of the Offscreen Film Festival in Brussels will start, undoubtedly one of the best 'genre' festivals in Europe. And their line-up this year is very much yummie. Radley Metzger is one of the guests of honor this year, and he will be giving a masterclass on nude cinematography. Also, they screen just about every film of his you can quickly name. Score, Misty Beethoven, Lickerish Quartet, Pamela Mann, Camille 2000... they're all there. Who isn't there is Ken Russell, as he died in 2011, but his filmography gets the same treatment here. It's hard to think of a film of his that isn't in the programme. Examples are: Tommie, Altered States, Lisztomania, Women in Love... even Lair of the White...

RIP Cinema Giant Alain Resnais

Posted: 02 Mar 2014 05:30 AM PST

One of the greatest film directors of the 20th century, Alain Resnais died yesterday at the age of 91, it was announced by his long-time producer, Jean-Louis Livi. Just a few weeks ago, I saw what has turned out to be his last film, Life of Riley, at Berlinale. The film is about the illness and death of a character who never appears in the film, which seems oddly fitting. Resnais' work in experimental and avant-garde cinema was behind the camera, and his later work combining film and theatre, has left an incredible legacy.Resnais' early work in short documentary film led to Night and Fog in 1955, which arguably put him on the world map. Using  a combination of contemporary colour footage of the abandoned concentration...
