Nicole Kidman's Grace of Monaco and Steve Carrel's Foxcatcher moved to the 2014 film season.

The Hollywood Reporter reports that Nicole Kidman's Oscar bait biopic on actress Grace Kelly has been moved from this fall to spring of next year:


"The Weinstein Co. no longer plans to release Grace of Monaco, a drama in which Oscar winner Nicole Kidman portrays actress-turned-princess Grace Kelly, in time to qualify for this year's Oscar race. A limited release originally had been set for Nov. 27, and Kidman, by virtue of her past awards success, has been mentioned as a possible contender. But The Hollywood Reporter has learned that TWC has decided the film needs more time to be completed, and, according to sources, will be released during spring 2014, positioned more as a commercial entry than an awards play. TWC did not immediately respond to requests for comment."

All the Oscar noise noise NOISE (for Cameron Diaz in The Counselor)

















(credit. voxxi.com)

Cameron Diaz, to a lot of people, is seen as a commercial actress. What I mean by that, is she isn't lumped in the same categories of actresses like Meryl Streep, Judi Dench, Natalie Portman, and Marion Cotillard, who are seen as critical darlings and have won many awards for their performances. When people think of Cameron, they think of "Bad Teacher", the "Shrek" movies, and of course, "There's Something About Mary".

Sky Ferreira releases dark new video for her latest single "You're Not The One"



Though it's not exactly "movie" news, I feel the need to post about Sky Ferreira's long and extremely delayed return to music with her newest single "You're Not The One".

Greetings!

This is my first post on my new blog, how exciting. I'm not exactly "new" to the blogging scene, as I've had a personal "microblog" or Tumblr since I was a senior in high school. When I started my journalism classes here at Rowan though, it was clear I was going to need to make a more accessible, and mature (or professional) blog to use in my Online Journalism class, and maybe even one I could use to market myself in the future.

And so here I am.

This blog is focused on the 2013 Film season. Reviews of past and upcoming films and performances (by yours truly), open discussions about those films, updates on upcoming films, and even posts about iconic films of the past will all be included in the content of this blog. I'm a huge cinephile, huge. Sometimes I think I love movies more than the people who make movies do (maybe I'm exaggerating a little, who knows). Any one of my friends or family members will tell you I'm their authority when it comes to which movie to see and what not. My high school nickname was "IMDB.com", go figure.

I'm hoping to become a film critic someday, and hopefully parlay this blog into something substantial. Over the years I've begun following more and more blogs (thefilmexperience.net, awardsdaily.com, incontention.com, hollywood-elsewhere.com, thompsononhollywood.com). I hope to model my blog after those blogs, and hopefully attain a similar success and audience.

*sigh* Cross your fingers, here we go!
