Wake Up and Smell the Oscars: They Stink!new
Everyone has their wakeup moment about the Academy Awards: A moment when you put away childish belief and realize it’s not at all about art but about popularity (as Sally Field once indicated and then got lambasted for her clarity).

It's Been a Banner Year For Brooklyn-Based Movies. But Is There a 'Brooklyn Film'?new
The notably thriving social enclaves of Brooklyn—particularly the areas of Williamsburg and Greenpoint—have grown increasingly gentrified in direct proportion to the down-and-dirty mystique. In that conflict lies a distinct two-headed beast ever-present in the movies of the region.

The Better Than Listnew
End of the year movie polls used to offer consensus; now they preserve film culture's herd-mentality.
