The complete Oscar telecast is at hulu.com. It was a joy watching it a second time, and this time I GOT THE SETH MACFARLANE JOKES!
See it again. -
All of then better than Lincoln.
Off topic: how many Oscars does Ang Lee have? Is it two or three? Did he take Crouching Tiger's trophy?
This is WHY an ALTERNATIVE MOVIE awards show needs to be created, for these "little" movies with strong stories and performances — or else these movies will go the way of the dust bowl.
The Indie Spirits have lost their way, so maybe another one will take its place — call it the ANTI-OSCAR AWARDS, call it what you must, but some of these films were just great films and need recognition. -
Some of them could have better love but this year the Academy truly has an excuse: it was an amazing year and the BP lineup is one of the best of all time and those films dominated the nominations and the winners total tally.
Last year they did not have that excuse. It was a mediocre one and they just couldn't nominate We Need to Talk About Kevin for anything. Or nominated Drive for just a consolation Sound Editing.
And there the films that eventually get nominated in the main category but we know would have gotten a lot more love in other years. I'm certain had The Sessions and Flight been released in 2011, both would have gotten a bunch of nominations but this year they were barely noticed by the awards.
I love Lawless. Way more than I probably should. Not even on my Top Ten list. Actually, not even my Top 15. I just like it. It's a movie told a million times before (except ultra-violent albeit in a realistic sense) of the era and the 21st amendment is such a deus ex machina of the central conflict. I guess it was not aiming for something extraordinary and that caught critics of the guy who did The Proposition and The Road off guard. Still it is a simple story acted and crafted wonderfully. Tom Hardy sells the hell out of those cardigans being something to fear, Jessica Chastain and Mia Wasikowska each somehow add dimension to their girl from the wrong side of the tracks and upstanding Christian woman cut-outs, and the music and cinematography are both fantastic. Even Shia LaBeouf cannot sink this movie. Also, I like to call the scene where Forrest confront Maggie about whether something happened to her with those men when she saved his life as 'Jessica Chastain's other big close-up' for 2012. What she is working to not say to him and not even going to give off the impression what happened to her knowing he will use that as a reason to avenge in yet another gunfight when he keeps pressing her to be honest with him was one of my favorite scenes from 2012. I hope it gets rediscovered on cable if just because once Jason Clarke and Dane DeHaan get their rightly earned exposure in the next year or two, that roster becomes even more impressive.
Agree on Magic Mike, Killing Them Softly (If you find Scoot McNairy too blank in Argo seriously, check this out), Bernie, The Grey, Compliance, Take This Waltz, and Cosmopolis.
Also add to the list: Holy Motors (because of that stupid rule with foreign language movies so it and Rust & Bone got ignored for The Intouchables.. blergh), The Imposter, Gayby (hold it… it is actually a really well-told story about a specific kind of friendship), The Paperboy (hold on… Nicole Kidman's performance and hers alone), and especially, Not Fade Away which made me think of That Thing You Do with a Jersey twist yet directed by somebody like Wim Wenders.
I love The Dark Knight Rises in its completely whacked out point of view, political naivete, and clumsiness of it all. Hathaway and Tom Hardy's eye-acting somehow kept Christian Bale on his game in a way I had not seen from him in the first two movies that some of the reveals in the third act can be forgiven.
Really need to see: Cloud Atlas (I played a week at my local cinema and left), Middle of Nowhere, End of Watch (I have an irrational dislike of Gyllenhaal so this should be interesting), and Your Sister's Sister.
Forgetting the second best film of the year, This is Not a Film, and the third, Holy Motors.
Some great choices there! I still have to see a handful of these. I don't know what happened to Wuthering Heights.. I've been wanting to see it forever, but still hasn't appeared.
-Killing Them Softly was criminally underrated. I don't know why it didn't click? Scoot McNairy is going places. He gets my un-Oscar for supporting actor.
-I went into Lawless thinking I'd love it, since you know Nick Cave, John Hillcoat, great cast but seems a bit flat at parts, and trying too strained at others. The women were ciphers. But wouldn't Guy Pearce be a great Batman villain! I always thought he should have been Two-Face. But dang, when did I start crushing on Shia LaBouf? The Sigur Ros video?
Here are the films I liked that didn't get a single nomination:
1. Holy Motors
2. It's Such a Beautiful Day
3. Killing them Softly
4. Paradise: Love
5. Killer Joe
6. The Deep Blue Sea
7. Dark Horse
8. Tabu
9. Take This Waltz
10. Cosmopolis
11. Neighboring Sounds
12. The Grey
13. Bernie
14. This is Not a Film
15. The Turin Horse
16. Once Upon a TIme in Anatola
17. Barbara
18. Haywire
19. Magic Mike
20. Beloved -
I like the idea of the UnOscars Ryan. The reason I enjoy following the Oscar race is to make sure that I see the best movies of the year. There are many throughout the year that don't make the cut, but are great films. Take This Waltz was one of the best!
Technically, Once Upon a Time in Anatolia did get recognized as an Oscar nominee **last year** long before it was made available to more theaters in the US.
Cannot believe I forgot The Deep Blue Sea, Tabu (on my top ten), Beloved, and I am a shameless Christophe Honore fan. Also, and I guess this may be controversial, I loved Damsels in Distress. There is something about Greta Gerwig's performance that in a perfect world would be the female leading comedic performance winning all of the awards. For people who thought Jennifer Lawrence, for better or worse, was in a screwball comedy mold as Tiffany in SLP, get a load of this.
This is Not a Film and Neighboring Sounds are also films I really want to see.
An UnOscars branch would be fantastic.
@Ryan: Will it include acting awards? Why not this year? I feel the urge to give tons of awards to Emmanuelle…
Since I'm a really ugly looking guy who wants to be an actor (and have absolutely no other skill for anything else), these kind of things depressed me a lot… especially when performances like hers are this monumental and the attention she has received is not enough. And I'm not even talking about Jean-Louis Trintignant… -
The Impossible!!!
To the list above (as well as some of the fantastic additions by others here in the comments) I would add Seven Psychopaths, The Cabin In The Woods, Goon, Jeff Who Lives At Home and Damsels In Distress.
Sorry, I noticed CMG already mentioned Damsels In Distress.
Maybe I'm alone in saying this, but Sasha, what about The Hunger Games? It didn't get any nominations either. I loved The Hunger Games.
Cloud Atlas was a major snub in my opinion. That movie was incredible in all aspects. The fact the it wasn't even nominated for best make up, special effects, and score is crazy. A well performed epic ensemble cast movie we don't normally get to see that is extremely well done deserved a lot more recognition then it did.
Can i do a sing out for 'Lore' Cate Shortland's Australian/German Co-Production that was The Australian entrant for Foreign Film? It was a beautifully shot and performed story of a group of German children making their way out of their homeland once their Nazi parents surrendered themselves at the end of WW2.
Mathew Mcconaughey should have been nominated for 'Magic Mike' instead of Alan Arkin. Maggie Smith should have been nominated for 'The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel' instead of Jackie Weaver for 'Silver Linings Playbook'. 'Looper' should have been nominated for original screenplay but it is tough to bump out somebody. I was shocked that 'Cloud Atlas' did not at least get a nomination for makeup. Richard Gere should have been nominated for 'Arbitrage' but again it is tough to bump out somebody. 'The Dark Knight Rises' should have been the tenth best picture nominee. It should also have gotten a sound nomination rather than 'Argo'. Was it a lack of campaigning issue with any of these films?
I disagree with the complete list though. I don't think that 'Cosmopolis', 'Killing Them Softly', 'Your Sister's Sister', 'Not Fade Away', 'Lawless' were good enough to be nominated. They were all worth watching though except for 'Cosmopolis' which was boring.
Cabin in the Woods. Should have had a script nomination and a makeup nod. There is no way you can tell me Les Miz had better makeup.
Trintignant would be eligible for an UnOscar, or is Amour disqualified in all categories?
Could be these very solid nominees:
Lead Actor
Richard Gere – Arbitrage
John Hawkes – The Sessions
Denis Lavant – Holy Motors
Surja Sharma – Life of Pi
Jean-Louis Trintignant – AmourSupporting Actor
Jason Clarke – Zero Dark Thirty
Leonardo DiCaprio – Django Unchained
Dwight Henry – Beasts of the Southern Wild
Matthew McConaughey – Magic Mike
Ezra Miller – Perks of Being a WallflowerLead Actress
Marion Cotillard – Rust and Bone
Judi Dench – The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel
Ann Dowd – Compliance
Aubrey Plaza – Safety Not Guaranteed
Rachel Weisz – The Deep Blue SeaSupporting Actress
Isabelle Huppert – Amour
Maggie Smith – The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel
(and three others)No time to think more, gotta sleep.
Why don't you just name the anti-oscars: anti-weinstein-awards.
Everybody knows, that his movies always win the most. -
I still like the Oscars very much but I don't take them as seriously as I used to. I realize that most Academy members are often disappointed by the results too, for the simple reason that there are hundreads of eligible films and performances every year, and there are 5 nominees to choose from per category, so chances are the winner is not going to be the one you picked, that's just the rule of the game. Enjoy the celebration and don't bother too much abt the results!
Cosmolopolis? Really?
I think you're using the term great waaaaay too losely on this list. The Best Exotic? Cosmopolis? Really? They aren't great.
I think Cloud Atlas, Holy Motors, Perks and This is not a film should be at the top of the list.
@Tero – interesting. Your list seems better than the oscar list.
@Ryan – Most of the movies in the list are better than Argo!!!
I think you could argue that an alternative Best Director list would have been as good if not better than the one we got:
Argo – Ben Affleck
Django Unchained – Quentin Tarantino
Les Miserables – Tom Hooper
The Master – Paul Thomas Anderson
Zero Dark Thirty – Kathryn BigelowDirecting should be about directing {the same with writing actually} not about how well received the movie was or who is liked or what has momentum. The five directors above are incredible. And their talent shows in those movies, and movies they have made previously. And you could argue Affleck is the weakest of those, though still excellent. Surely the snubs of Bigelow, Tarantino and Anderson are just as disappointing. I would also squeeze in Looper's Rian Johnson if I could…
Holy Motors, Tabu, Perks and Cloud Atlas will have a longer shelf life with cinephiles than most of this year's BP nominees. These films found their own way to tell their stories. Their unique narrative structures will probably be copied by the mainstream in the next few years – just remember where you saw it first.
"I'm hearing credible rumors that Awards Daily will be introducing a special branch devoted to the UnOscars of 2013."
I almost suggested something similar a couple of times, but get kind of deflated when I see the results of simulated ballots. Maybe it's just people (like AMPAS voters) trying to crowd onto the winning wagon rather than voting with their hearts.
A seperate section devoted to actual filmmaking over business is a terrific idea. Count me in!
The Perks of Being a Wallflower was my personal favorite this year. I am guessing it was "too young" for the Academy. Logan Lerman and Emma Watson's performances were outstanding, and the script was second to none. I am usually pretty good at catching twists before they are unravelled and this one caught me off guard big time. Was not expecting the ending. Thought it was just going to end when Emma was leaving for college. Guess I was wrong. Totally unexpected.
OMG Yess. Now I have to comment on your list:
The Perks of Being a Wallflower [Just awesome, made my top 10. Based on the trailer I thought I was gonna hate it]
Middle of Nowhere [Didn't think it was all that great]
The Dark Knight Rises [Superior to the highly overrated SKYFALL]
Cloud Atlas [Made my top 10, nuff said}
Wuthering Heights [Better cinematography than the overrated SKYFALL]
Looper [Made my top 10. Joseph Gordon Levitt looked hot even with all the makeup on, astonishing feat]
Killing Them Softly [Somewhat underrated I felt]
End of Watch [Michael Peña should have been recognized instead of Alan Arkin]
Magic Mike [<3]
Lawless [Didn't think much of it, great cast]
The Grey [I thought it was boring]
Killer Joe [William Friedkin still brings it]
Not Fade Away [Haven't seen this]
Take this Waltz [Not a fan]
Arbitrage [Loved it the first time but not very re-watchable. Still would have nominated Richard Gere instead of Hugh Jackman's screams]
On the Road [Garrett Hedlund did his job and as per usual looked like a greek god, but the awful script and inept direction got in his way, but the character was there, somewhere. Kirsten Dunst only had like 10 minutes in the movie and she blew me away. Best performance by far. Overall this film was bad.
Safety Not Guaranteed [Didn't see this]
Bernie [Another one who would have made a better Best Actor nominee than Hugh Jackman]
Compliance [The second best performance by an Actress of the year after Emmanuelle Riva, ignored.
Your Sister's Sister [Didn't see it]
Cosmopolis [Fucking Yesssssss! I would have nominated Robert Pattinson for Best Actor instead of LES MIZ's Hugh Jackman and I realize I might be the only one in this Earth. <3 <3 <3 Best Cinematography and Best Adapted Screenplay would have been deserved too]
The Exotic Marigold Hotel [I feel asleep so I must have not liked it]
Yeah, I'm bored at work.
Ryan, did you forget Keep the Lights On? I hope you did. It seems like the kind of movie you would like.
Cosmopolis, for me, was a huge disappointment. I like Don DeLillo and i hadn't read the book. But damn, this movie was like a cut and paste of all the good lines of a DeLillo book but without all of the inbetween stuff to support the good parts. And thus it became super boring.
But then I watched Videodrome for the first time the other day, and it was just plain odd, especially for 1983. But I keep thinking back on it and my nostalgiac take on the film is now incredibly positive.
Also saw Side Effects yesterday. Well made, but the script was just too much complication and double dealing. It just doesn't hold up. It suffered from being insufficiently organic and overly constructed.
Oh yeah, even though it's 2011 I finally watch Pariah – If you missed this film, go back and give it a shot. The last 20 minutes are just about perfect, not a false note in them and wonderfully well done, with a kicker of an ending that's genuine, true and heartfelt.
Plus it stars Adepero Oduye whom I think will be on the contender tracker for Best Supporting Actress this year.
I really disliked Cosmopolis as well. Not familiar with the book, and after seeing the film, I will not be anxious to find it.
Videodrome – on the other hand – is still WOW.
How about a sequel to Eastern Promises, David?
I see you are not on the Mark Duplass express, Bryce, having missed both Your Sister's Sister and Safety Not Guaranteed. SNG is the better of the two, but Emily Blunt is always watchable so just see both.
But for raunchy comedy that's surprisingly more sophisticated than it seems, check out his show The League. It starts a little slow, but, damn, it eventually uncorks some extremely hilarious episodes.
Oslo, August 31st
Deep BLue Sea,and Holy Motors were the 2 best movies I saw with no nominations.
Both on my top 10. Perks and killer joe on my runner up list. -
Seven Psychopaths!!!
Martin McDonagh is one of our most provocative and important writers.
Also, and I think I forgot this because this is not really the kind of film that ever gets awards in the first place, but I was incredibly surprised and gratified by Josh Trank's Chronicle. A fresh twist on the found footage genre (I mean a fluid camera that is floating from the characters) even if the third act returns to the cliches and tropes of it. Dane DeHaan finally gave us the male equivalent of Carrie.
The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel? Really?
I disliked Cosmopolis as well. Almost as bad as the book (and this comes from someone who loves DeLillo…but the man seems completely devoid of his former skills these days)
One nice thing you can say about the Oscars is that it brings us to this site, where we're able to discuss films like the ones on Ryan's list and share thoughts with all the great commenters.
And Christophe, I like your attitude.
Ok, let's do this.
I loved a lot of films out of Oscar's radar, and was totally underwhelmed by the almost logical lack of Looper and The Perks in the Writing nominations, but to everyone his own deliver of love.
A little comment and rating in this 22 films in my list of 67 films of 2012:Looper (#1): My favourite film of 2012. Original, great in style, development, cast and writing. The perfect reason of why I love cinema. Snubbed on Makeup, Writing, Supporting Actres and Picture.
The Dark Knight Rises (#5): I was underwhelmed the first time on cinema. The second time I absolutely loved it, accepting even its obvious mistakes. Epic, emotional, true to its characters and ending the trilogy in a high note.
The Grey (#11): Loved the film. THE surprise of the year, and the best action/suspense/drama film in a lot of time, filled with a worthy of Oscar, cinematography and mixing sound.
The Perks of Being a Wallflower (#14): Love the film, and its whole cast and story.
Safety Not Guaranteed (#15): The little film that knocked it out of the park for me. Amazing chemistry between the cast, writing and performances.
Lawless (#20): Loved the film, despite finding its climax underwhelming. Guy Pearce deserved not only a nomination, but even maybe an Oscar.
End of Watch (#21): Loved the film, and the interaction between Pena and Gyllenhall. One of the surprises of the year.
Cloud Atlas (#23): I liked it a lot, but wasn't blown away by it. Still expecting to see it on cinema another time expecting to catch something more.
Your Sister's Sister (#27): Another indie gem, totally recomendable.
Bernie (#34): A surprising real story, with an outstanding Jack Black.
Killer Joe (#42): Interesting, violent, atypical but a very good film.
Compliance (#55): Very good acting in a story so ridiculous that shames me to be real. (The Imposter, that's an amazing and incredible true story instead)
Take this Waltz (#59): Good acting, but an unpleasant story. I kinda hate the main character and the whole development.
Killing Them Softly (#60): A preachy-on-your-face and boring movie, with very good cinematography and sound editing.
On the Road (#65): Awful film, only redeemed (a little) for its actings and almost great cinematography.
Magic Mike, Wuthering Heights, Middle of Nowhere, Not Fade Away, Arbitrage, Cosmopolis and The Exotic Marigold Hotel: I haven't seen it yet.
My top 10 films (in order):
Monsieur Lazhar
Django Unchained
The Dark Knight Rises
Beasts of the Southern Wild
Life of Pi
The Secret World of Arriety
(Lincoln is #12, by the way) -
Aye on Emily Blunt.
The upcoming Sam Raimi film sparked my interest in WICKED: THE LIFE AND TIMES OF THE WICKED WITCH OF THE WEST and whoa whoa whoa…now I really hope OZ THE GREAT AND POWERFUL is a success and people get interested in this universe again -a la Snow White- because someone must adapt WICKED to film!
Also for the UnOscars I propose
Best Performance by a Gorgeous Male
1. Aaron Taylor-Johnson – ANNA KARENINA
2. Joseph Gordon-Levitt – THE DARK KNIGHT RISES
3. Nate Parker – ARBITRAGE
4. Chris Evans – THE AVENGERS
5. Jim Sturgess – CLOUD ATLAS -
Great list, but most notable that I'm concerned about being left out of an Oscar nomination was Cloud Atlas. It is offensive that it was not even considered for makeup, cinematography, sound, and editing. I can't wait to buy the blu-ray as soon as it is available for pre-order.
One film that everyone here seemed to overlook from last year is Liberal Arts. It's a movie about people who like to read! The movie is a bit cliche at times, but some of the conversations are so wonderful, and there's a great section of the film where two characters exchange thoughts on baroque classical music and what they feel when they listen to it.
It's really a special film that's completely accessible for those in that niche who appreciate such things. And it has yet another strong performance from Elizabeth Olsen.
"I was incredibly surprised and gratified by Josh Trank's Chronicle. A fresh twist on the found footage genre (I mean a fluid camera that is floating from the characters) even if the third act returns to the cliches and tropes of it. Dane DeHaan finally gave us the male equivalent of Carrie."
Well said
"that category has expanded to ten slots"
Yeah I was thinking 5 is a joke
Anyone saw Gareth Evans's The Raid: Redemption?
That's a kick-ass action movie, better than any Marvel superhero film. -
I guess I was fooling myself with the hope that Perks would get in for adapted. I wouldn't necessarily take out Argo, Lincoln, Beasts of the Southern Wild, or Life of Pi, but there's another screenplay is that category that is the weakest screenplay in some time where things play out in plot points rather than how normal life plays out. Oh David, somehow your cartoonish characters got in over the likes of the Perks gang.
I've heard some young viewers question why someone would like Perks so much to which someone else said "I think it's just a teenager thing". Well I'm far from being a teenager now, but I certainly once was and yea I connected with it. Hell I thought I was gonna hate it. Although their somewhat similar it's not a movie about addressing an illness making it far more universal, but then again neither is SLP by the end. I'm not a sheep and I'm not gonna just immediately assume that SLP must be a better film for it accolades and supposed level of gravitas where it becomes standard rom com fare by the last 40 mins. With it's 20 cosmic coincidences and characters reacting in a way that no real human would, SLP is the furthest thing from Perks, a film that was difficult to get funding. SLP…..yea not so much.
"That's a kick-ass action movie, better than any Marvel superhero film"
Sigh. Where do I start? THE RAID is a martial arts movie. THE AVENGERS is a superhero movie. Get your sub-genres straight you silly bum.
I'm talking about action films. Marvel films are nothing more than action films.
Super hero, martial art, revenge tales or whatever, they are all action films, and the suspense, cinematography and edition seen on any fight on The Raid surpasses almost everything done by Hulk, Thor, Captain America or Iron Man (Only the 360º scene on The Avengers is greater in awesomeness I think).
Anyway, it's just my opinion. -
Oh snap. There were other people who liked LAWLESS. So fantastic to find that out NOW. lol
None of those are great films.
Why Holy Motors (the best film of 2012) isn't on your list, I'll never know.
I'd add two to the list, for sure: The Deep Blue Sea (which someone else already mentioned), and A Late Quartet. The latter especially qualifies for its great performance by Christopher Walken…it's to his recent career what DeNiro's performance in SLP was to his.
SNOWPIERCER: That director! that cast (fucking Tilda, wet dreams Chris Evans and Jamie Bell, that guy Ed Harris)! That concept art!
Looks promising!!
@Leocdc, I know the US release for Monsieur Lazhar was this year, it was actually released last year and was an Oscar nominee for est Foreign Language Film in 2012, losing to A Separation.
I was hoping James Franco little letter to the Academy would get Perks some attention. Oh well. It got plenty of screenplay recognition from various critics awards as did Looper. I'm guessing critics have very little impact again now.
Just watched End of Watch. Pretty good, although the ending in the alleyway wasn't entirely realistic with how it ended up. But still, the chemistry between the two leads was great and was well worth wading through the gimmicky first-person camera stuff that, at times, was a miserable failure.
End of Watch was another film I wasn't a big fan of sadly. I did like the chemistry between the two leads, but the first person gimmick didn't work for me and too often I found it predictable. Ayer I think is better at writing pulp stories than films with loose narratives that resemble life. Each situation is an escalation of the previous one. Also as much as I like Kendrick, I thought she was a bit wasted.
Antoinette- Ha! I was too timid (because the promos had it all as Shia LaBeouf rather than a much more spread out story among the three brothers- although Jason Clarke got the short-end of the stick in the writing especially when you know he can act circles around LaBeouf) to see it in theaters the first week and then it did not do well that it left my theater so I missed it. Then I found a torrent with some low expectations (it was mixed to positive but a lot of the bad feedback had to do with the treading familiar territory in the plot and the violence, but I have a pretty high tolerance of that as a viewer) and I really enjoyed myself. I think the fact Nick Cave and Warren Ellis with The Bootleggers got to play The Velvet Underground for the soundtrack was a selling point too.
Since we're being nostalgiac, let me look at the best nominated non-winners of the last 13 years. I bet most would agree that they are a better batch of pictures than the winners.
1) Zero Dark Thirty
2) The Tree of Life
3) The Social Network
4) Inglorious Basterds
5) Milk
6) There Will Be Blood
7) The Queen
8) Brokeback Mountain
9) Sideways
10) Lost in Translation
11) The Hours
12) Gosford Park
13) Crouching Tiger, Hidden DragonAnd, as well – films that didn't get nominated at all look a lot better than the winners.
1) The Master
2) Drive
3) The Ghost Writer
4) The Fantastic Mr. Fox
5) Wall-E (or The Dark Knight)
6) Zodiac
7) United 93
8) A History of Violence
9) Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
10) American Splendor
11) Far From Heaven
12) Ghost World
13) You Can Count on Me -
I think No Country for Old Men and There Will Be Blood are possibly the best films of the last 10 years. Shame they came out the same year. Shame there was a point where I deluded myself into thinking The Social Network after all the critics awards would win and then the PGA happpened….and then the SAG….and then DGA……and…"sigh" you know the rest.
Dirty little secret (I've not seen either) – 2007 was a year for me of seeing virtually no movies, when I look at that year, there's so many films I've not seen. King's Speech, United 93, History of Violence, all films I've missed along the way as well. That time frame, I just had so much going on, I didn't have the time to watch as many movies as I'd like. (And no, I wasn't in jail)
But I will say that Pan's Labyrinth is fucking awesome.
It always irks me when people leave "Holy Motors" out. Clearly, I live in a different world.
Ryan, where would you put Once Upon a Time in Anatolia on your International List?
I've also read somewhere of a Spanish thriller called Sleep Tight that you might enjoy. You should check it out!
I would have to add "Jeff, Who Lives at Home" , easily the biggest surprise of the year for me as I am NOT on the "Duplass Express" at all — I've hated pretty much everything they've been involved in. But that movie is just a small gem.

"I'm about to get really sick of repeatedly saying that I deliberately restricted this list to movies in English."
LMAO! (patience Ryan – we're some serious Holy Motors fans put here)Good start on a list, Manuel. Add some Cloud Atlas, some pic/directing for Tabu, and some acting/directing for Holy Motors and we probably have a list.
I'll add to that list…
THE HUNGER GAMES (deserved a nomination for lead Actress, but at least there's a good reason for that omission… also,Adapted Screenplay, Editing, Song)
DREDD (Sound Editing, Art Direction… I loved LIFE OF PI, but how does a movie about a guy in a boat get nominated here?)
JEFF WHO LIVES AT HOME (Actor, Supporting Actress, Original Screenplay)
SINISTER (although, I admittedly wouldn't have nominated it either) -
Nice list, Ryan. I'd add Ruby Sparks too.
love the idea of the unoscars or whatever it's gonna be called.

Colombo, Sri Lanka -- Thai Prime Minister Ms. Shinawatra is due to visit Buddhist Sri Lanka during the month of Wesak. The bond that Sri Lanka and former Siam (Thailand) share needs to go beyond diplomatic niceties.
<< Thai Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra
The people of present and future need to know the exact nature of what ties Buddhist nations together. In addition to seriously considering forming a League of Buddhist Nations it is suggested that a film be produced in co-partnership about the "Fascinating Journey from Sri Lanka to Siam" based on the narration of Wilbagedera who wrote the original narration of his journey to the Thai capital of Ayuthiya and the magnificent welcome accorded to the Sri Lankan delegation by the Thai King.
Let all those preparing to welcome the Thai PM remember that she arrives not to talk about multiculturalism but to mark the special Buddhist bond that exists between Buddhists and Buddhist nations. Therefore, it is essential that the agenda is solely on Buddhism and those involved in discussions are capable of giving genuine voice to Buddhists this translated means that all those mouthing opposing views should be left out.
The Siam Nikaya is located around the city of Kandy and is named so because of its origins in Thailand. The two main divisions of the Siyam Nikaya are the Malwatta and Asgiriya. Together both Nikayas have over 6000 temples and close to 20,000 Buddhist monks. It is this bond that brings the Thai PM to Sri Lanka bringing a special message from Thailand.
The hospitality shown by Siam continues unabated to this day and Sri Lanka acknowledges with pride the warmth with which a fellow Theravada nation continues to uphold traditions.
The Sri Lankan delegation headed by Wilbagedera was a journey that took 3 months passing Cambodia to reach Siam in 1750. The detailed and picturesque account of the respect and honor given to the Sri Lankan 60 member delegation by the Siamese King is enchanting to any reader.
We are told that a retinue of 32 boats formed in procession to carry the Sri Lankan envoys with music in accompaniment. Outdoing even the diplomatic chivalry of the present the protocol procedures followed at the Royal Thai palace cannot be left to a book for selected reading only. Ayuththa was 60km inland and described as a "glorious capital" and far more practical than the present floodprone capital of Bangkok.
The narrative of Wilbagedera and others being taken on horse-drawn carriages to the Palace, given a Guard of Honor consisting of Regiments with thousands of troops in attendance needs to be visually made available to the entire world in film jointly sponsored by both nations and filmed in both Sri Lanka and Thailand.
It would be a great opportunity to forge and strengthen people to people contact between Thailand and Sri Lanka to enhance cultures between the two nations.
Everything that the Sri Lankan envoys saw from white elephants in the Thai place, the precious stones, gold, figures of lions and elephants, the golden Lion throne on which the King sat like a God Sakra radiating the place from the gemstones, being served on gold and silver trays, visiting holy temples is something that should definitely not escape the attention of the present and future generation of Buddhists.
It was after this visit that Sri Lanka saw a revitalization of Buddhism and within 3 years 3000 samaneras had joined the Sasana.
Sri Lanka also has the honour of initiating the discovery of Footprint of Buddha in Siam in the year 1628 A.D.
Thus the meticulous account kept by Wilbegedera, Sri Lanka's envoy to Siam from the time the delegation departed from Trincomalee port aboard the Dutch ship Weltryg on 1st August 1750 to sail back to Sri Lanka on 30th May 1753 on board the VOC ship Oost Kapelle after 2 ½ years needs to be put into a film a joint effort by the Governments of both Sri Lanka and Thailand.
The heroes of the Buddhist world need to now gain the publicity it is denied by the English press, in order to bring these to the open a League of Buddhist nations would ensure that forgotten histories are revitalized and forgotten heroes are once more remembered. Asia's heroes and Asia's fetes are exclusive and awesome too.
A film on Wilbegedera's journey to Siam is certainly one agenda item that cannot be omitted. This will provide the basis to form better ties not only amongst the clergy but amongst lay Buddhists as well throughout the Buddhist world.
Asgiriya and Malwatte chapters must back the initiative to form a League of Buddhist nations as well as the film that would link the people of Sri Lanka and Thailand closer.

I live in the state of Pennsylvania. We're trying to figure out how to file this year without breaking any laws. My fiancé lives with me and I have 3 children from a former marriage. My ex husband pays child support. I am unemployed therefore I don't file every year. Does my fiancé have a right to claim my children because we've lived together this year, or does my ex have a right to claim them? I intend on doing more research and making a few calls if necessary, but wanted to know if anyone had this similar experience or knows the answer. Thanks mamas!
I'm not sure...here's a help link I googled on filing dependents..

Governor's mansion to glow blue in support of autism
Published April 1, 2014 8:33 pm
Wednesday • Gov. Gary Herbert said it extends love to those who face autism.
This is an archived article that was published on sltrib.com in 2014, and information in the article may be outdated. It is provided only for personal research purposes and may not be reprinted.
The Governor's Mansion will glow blue Wednesday night in support of World Autism Awareness day.
Gov. Gary Herbert said he is doing that to "extend our love to those individuals and families who face the difficult challenges associated with autism."
He added, "Increased awareness and research will give light to new technologies and advancements. Together we advocate for change that will improve lives."
Autism is one of the fastest-growing developmental disabilities in the United States, affecting one in 68 American children. A recent Centers for Disease Control and Prevention study reports that Utah's autism rate is even higher affecting one in 54 Utah children, a rate down from one in 47 in 2008.

Cat -vs- Mono ?
I like both :-)
however one point the mono hullers always seem to bring up is the windward performance or lack thereoff.
Sure I can go a few points higher with my J 30 and dont stall, depending on the wind I am even pretty fast.
However we beat EVERYBODY pointing with a 37 Lagoon last year in the BVI''s. That boat kicked ass on every point of sail. Sure we were a little slower pinching up, as far as I can remember around 9 knots versus double digit numbers. A lot of 40-50 foot Beneteaus and stuff had NO chance keeping up.
While we were almost lounging on the boat with beer standing on the cockpit table.
If I would have the money I would get the special PDQ 36 with daggerboards or a French one with boards. ( The Lagoon had no daggers and was tired from chartering the last 10 years, until she woke up with "us" on board )
Again I love my J but if I would have the dough and would be able to spend more time on the boat ( Bahamas etc ) there would be no question.
get a moring ball :-) instead of marina. And while traveling you gonna use your anchor and only occasional go inside a marina anyhow.

André Deutsch
André Deutsch (15 November 1917, Budapest – 11 April 2000, London) was a British publisher who founded an eponymous publishing company in 1951.[1]
Deutsch attended school in Budapest and Vienna. He was Jewish, so he left Austria after the Anschluss and moved to Britain.[1]
After having learned the business of publishing working for Francis Aldor (Aldor Publications, London) with whom he was interned in the Isle of Man during the Second World War and who had introduced him to the industry, André Deutsch left Aldor's employment after a few months to continue his burgeoning publishing career with the firm of Nicholson & Watson. After the war Deutsch started his first company, Allan Wingate, but after a few years was forced out by one of his directors, Anthony Gibb.[1] André Deutsch Limited began trading in 1952.[2]
His small but influential publishing house ran until the 1980s, and included books by Jack Kerouac, Wole Soyinka, Earl Lovelace, Norman Mailer, George Mikes, V. S. Naipaul, Ogden Nash, Andrew Robinson, Philip Roth, Art Spiegelman, John Updike, Margaret Atwood, Charles Gidley Wheeler and Helene Hanff, and is now an imprint of Carlton Publishing Group. Deutsch employed dedicated editor Diana Athill.
Deutsch died in London on 11 April 2000, aged 82.

Hello from chilly and bleak Calgary, Canada,
After visiting Doug Casey's Gulch in northern Argentina I had returned home to Acapulco for a few days before making my way to the great white north. As I was returning to Acapulco my email inbox began to fillup with people asking me if I was OK. Apparently there was a devastating, massive 7.9 Earthquake near Acapulco.
[The following post is written by Randal Lane, TDV Egyptian Correspondent]
But wait, you're not an prisoner you say? Well, I would disagree with that and allow me to explain.
First off, we should define what a prisoner is and lets start off with a definition from the Merriam-Webster dictionary.
[Editor's Note: The following is from our Mexican based TDV Education Correspondent, Jorge Gato]
Some weeks ago, Mexico's second largest city was hit by over a dozen narco-blockades. Narcotraficantes shut down over a dozen intersections, evacuated citizens from buses and burned the empty vehicles (one bus driver didn't get out in time). Meanwhile, the Mexican military executed a daring raid when they landed on Opus Dei school grounds to capture a head narcotics trafficker holed up in the nearby neighborhood.
In this video with Phil Mackesy of HoweStreet.com Radio, Jeff Berwick on the definition of anarcho-capitalism, why we own precious metals, why privacy is dead and the requisite importance of internationalizing your life and your life's work.
Jeff states: "It's about time that us, as humanity, get rid of this statism. It's been a disaster. It's caused every war. It's caused so much poverty. And it's making us lose most of our freedoms now."
Don't understand economics? And the thought of even trying makes your eyes cross?
That's what they want. Government, which is an artificial, unnecessary construct has made a concerted effort to make economics sound as difficult as possible for decades. The reason? They can use your programmed ignorance as the publicly "educated" to confuse you about how they manipulate the economy for their benefit.
Hello from the beach in Acapulco,
I am back home in Mexico after nearly three weeks in Argentina and very happy to be here. Home is where your heart is and for me that is right here in Southern Mexico. I'm a believer that there is a "right" place for everyone in the world... and it just so happens that rarely are you lucky enough to be born in that place so it is well worth taking the time to look for it.
Dear dollar vigilante,
Jeff Berwick will be appearing at the Calgary Energy & Resource Investment Conference in Alberta, Canada on March 30th and 31st and would like to invite you to attend.
He'll be appearing at the following:
Hello from beautiful Cafayate,
I've spent the last week enjoying all that Cafayate has to offer, including amazing wine, cigars, golf, asados and parties with the likes of Doug Casey, Bill Bonner and dozens of other interesting and freedom-minded people. It truly is one of the coolest places on Earth down here at Doug's Gulch.
Investing, and in particular speculating, can be said to be the art of attempting to guess how stupid most people will be and position yourself to profit from it.
This has been the case more so than usual lately as the precious metals and gold and silver stocks have pulled back yet again despite there being no valid fundamental reason for them to do so. However, we here at TDV had predicted this possibility and so we are not surprised to see the gold stocks have been sent back out to the woodshed again this week.

In the movies the Point Of View is right where the camera is aiming. The eye of the viewer. And depending on that point of view, things will change - settings, stories and the way we interpret things. And if you move around the MENU POV Candle Holder, you'll also notice that your view alters the holder. From some angles it seems like a flat graphical drawing - move around it and suddenly the graphic lines floats in midair. Shadows and shapes change, making it a fun object to interact with.

You can tell it's the holiday season as the good news keep on coming for Apple TV customers. After numerous attempts and trials, our developers have finally managed to produce an untethered Apple TV 3 jailbreak. We are now performing the final tests on the hacking software which is due to be released very soon.
- ATV 3 Untethered Jailbreak App will be Available for download at no cost
- Beta Testing is Over : Our Technicians are working to develop an easy and user friendly software interface
None of the Apple TV 3 jailbreaks that were released until now has been perfect. The software of the device could rarely be breached and the available Seas0nPass programs had one drawback or another. We have managed to release one of the best beta versions for Apple TV 3, but the jailbreak was tethered.
Thanks to the new untethered Apple TV 3 jailbreak you no longer have to connect your digital media receiver to your computer in order to boot it. You can finally relax and forget about your battery charger because shutting down your device will trigger no unwanted consequences.
Rebooting your Apple TV 3 is now easier than ever thanks to our new untethered jailbreak. All you have to do if you ever want to reboot your device is to turn it on and proceed as usual without worrying about any computer connections.
We can guarantee you that the untethered Apple TV 3 jailbreak is perfectly functional. In fact, our developers are performing numerous tests because they want to make sure that the version they release is really the best you can find.
As soon as the tests will be completed, the hacking software will be published on our website for download in the ATV 3 Featured News category. We cannot provide an exact date for the release of the program, so make sure you stick around and visit our website as often as possible. The untethered Apple TV 3 jailbreak is just a few days away.

Everything was perfect!! Dinner was especially GREAT
Reviewed by: Philip G, March 2015
The tour of both the Opera House and the Concert Hall was interesting and given by a very good guide. The dinner at the Aria Restaurant was very well prepared and the service was excellent. The Ballet was wonderful - the house was sold out and the costumes and dances were magnificent. It was well worth the time and cost.

hi 1disneylandfan!
and i wish the back to back posting feature was back
NO NO . sorry not back to back .. umm the other way it used to be
I was thinking Denver too, who knew that running back kicks does not make for an excellent team?
Seattle was just hot after walloping the 49ers. I'm a Niners fan so know they are going all the way.
When I last moved that was my priority, a commute on surface streets only. I had an old boss that lived a mile from his office, and all the employees lived 15-90 minutes away. I found out he moved the office at one point, and coincidently found a location near his home. So when I was looking to buy went for a hours near my office.
Sara, I just saw a red Bentley in the parking lot here. That's 1 sighting but I still can't find a Charger.
no swampy. pages ago we were talking about dodge chargers, i see a lot of them down here in south orange county, whereas brandon in up in L.A. doesn't see any of them usually..and something was said about a bently
it takes me 40 min to get to work.

Good Value Hal from Illinois – Verified Buyer The three-wheel T-shaped design is good in that it allows the table to be positioned nearer to your chair or sofa. It will work best at the end of a sofa, with the 90 degree angle of the "T" flush with the two sides of the sofa, and it is reversible so it can be used on either end (but if you are right handed it will probably work best on the right side of the sofa if you use a separate mouse on the lower table). It is, however, slightly less stable, particularly when moving from one location to another. I probably have this table overloaded, as it is currently holding a large laptop, a second keyboard, a small photo printer, a multi-card reader, a trackball mouse, and an ice cold soda, but it works well for all of these. Due to this high weight, it has a slight problem maintaining the angle of the desktops using the friction clamps provided, but they adjust easy and are easy to tighten. So far, they haven't needed tightening for several weeks. The only problem during assembly were these same friction clamps, as they could use slightly more thread on them to allow the clamps to be more loose during installation of the top. Also, note that the two tables are welded to the main post and cannot be adjusted independent of one another, but this doesn't seem to be a problem, as the offset works well for your hand on a mouse on the lower tabletop. |
Don't buy unless you like doing handywork Mark from Torrance, CA – Verified Buyer I would like to give it zero stars but this review page requires at least one. The stand is, by design, completely incapable of holding the two platforms in position. It dumped my laptop on the ground, twice (my own fault for trusting it the second time) . All four of the cheap plastic mounts broke within the first two weeks. Very bad design! I had to completely redesign and retrofit the mounts with several trips to the hardware store. Even cursory testing would have revealed these design flaws. I probably should have just returned it but I threw away the packaging assuming it wasn't total junk. |
Mobile Laptop Desk Cherise from VIRGINIA BEACH, VA – Verified Buyer love the look..it it sturdy....EXCEPT the desk hardware park is plastic & cannot get it tight enough...it has rolled backwards several times & dumped my laptop... |
my review sameka from riverdale, GA – Verified Buyer The only downfall is that it only goes so high..it needs. A better range of height for taller people so they wont get a hunch in their back..other than that a five star |
ms DIANE from SAINT JOHNS, MI – Verified Buyer Overall like the stand. The tops won't remain stable though. Have to keep tightening |
Ok stand for a light job Edna from Rockville, MD – Verified Buyer– Top 1000 Reviewer This is a stand that could easily topple over... I needed a much more sturdy stand, for equipment. |
Space Saver Stella from New York – Verified Buyer It has been ok, The covenience is nice and it is a space saver. The corner was a bit deformed and I feel it should been packed better. |
mobile desk Janet Kinlaw from Boiling Springs, SC – Verified Buyer Love the new desk, but a little disappointed that the individual tables were not height adjustable, just angle separately. I may have misunderstood or misread but the stand is great and being mobile is exactly what I was looking for. Easy to put together and looks great. |
Very good stuff, almost a 5 Jeff from Durham, NC – Verified Buyer High quality. I wish the position tighteners would lock into place, since as I lean on this thing while working they tend to ease down under the pressure of my arms. Not a huge deal but thats why this is a 4 instead of 5 star review. Much better appearance and quality feel than a similar item that I bought a few months ago for another room, and I think I paid more for that one. |
Does the job but must be carefull DFox from Atlanta GA – Verified Buyer Using for laptop access from bed.It's 'wobbly' where the top section slides onto the stand and caused my laptop to hit the floor and break a USB port. Doesn't roll well or at all on carpet. Even with the hort axis tightened the tables still will move. [...]Pick it up to move it around, be careful to support tables while moving or the wobble and moving tables will drop your laptop on floor [...] |
Mobile Laptop Computer Stand is also sometimes listed under the following manufacturer numbers: LCS100-A19B, LCS100-A45B, LCS100-A45S, LCS100-A4S

This is a great mix of Zangiev's theme! And funny you should mention that there's only 3 Zangief's themes on Newgrounds... I finished my own arrangement about five minutes ago. I'm not uploading it until tomorrow, and I honestly don't think it's as good as yours... it's in a differnt style though... *shrugs* Anyway, nice mix!
Dont worry m8, aslong if its Zangief I know it'll be good, no matter the style :)
Let me know when you do upload it so I can hear it.
For now, looking forward to it and ty for the review :)

A little too soft. Zangief is a mean guy and this is not mean (and by that I mean hard) music. You're in top contention for my Zangief theme download though.
Rated 4.5 / 5 stars
I was LMAO when this song started, but what a great tune. I think I'll burn this and play it to some people who would be familiar to this song but aren't expecting it.
BTW, I could imagine this song as part of some club filler in between songs. That's how great it is.
Rated 4.5 / 5 stars
That was me at 00:32 when the beat broke down, I wasn't so sure this was going to be good because the intro was good, don't get me wrong, but nothing special. But wow, the moment this broke down, I love it now. Very good job.

I'm having a debate with our infrastructure provider partner.
It's their opinion that to achieve high-availability (HA), one needs to isolate infrastructure at a per-domain level. So, if one application needs 2 load-balanced web servers, a master database and a slave database, you set 4 nodes up. For another application, running similar requirements, you set-up another 4 nodes. So, a total of 8 nodes to manage, and 2 load-balancers.
I feel that's a textbook approach to HA and the smarter way to plan for high-availability is to perform it at a "per-functionality" level.
Using the same example above, you would have 2 nodes to run both PHP we servers, a central master DB and a slave DB. Therefore, 4 nodes with 1 load-balancer, and scale-out after monitoring performance.
The principle is that hardware (and therefore it's failure), is agnostic to the software that runs it. Will a piece of hardware fail if it's running application A or application B, or will it fail because it has to ?
This is further exemplified in the cloud, where infrastructure is shared across seemingly independent applications. (key word is seemingly, as the same hardware is virtually running multiple types of software).
One can argue that chance of failures is a function of number of nodes, but again, I feel that's more a academic response, because management and likely running costs becomes a challenge with more nodes, even in the cloud.
What do others technically-inclined think?
Quick question - your argument does not seem to take in the fact that running application A + B on the same set of nodes may potentially double the load per server ? Or were you considering increasing the server capacities concurrently ?
My point is if there is capacity on a node, shouldn't we have an ability to add more apps to it, rather than forcing us to have to create a new node just because it is a different app.
@Mahesh: now I get it !
I actually had a similar discussion with my co-founder Sandaruwan.
My argument was that aside from capacity, other issues also tend to come into play - such as security and even maintainability (especially if the applications use different technology stacks).
However, his point was that it would be a waste of capacity to have multiple nodes - and that the running costs would also be increased unnecessarily.
In the end we decided to go with multiple apps on a single node, since that seemed to make more sense for our situation.
Yes - and keep measuring it. If you find there's a problem, move out to additional servers, or spawn new servers just for the app that is loaded. More often than not, it will only be on specific days. I would even simply just replicate the entire node.

Decades before Joe Orton and Michael Frayn, John Guare and Christopher Durang, there was Joseph Kesselring. His hilariously endearing 1941 Arsenic and Old Lace is one of twentieth-century theater's warhorse blends of satire and farce. Innocent despite its outrageousness and warm-hearted even though it's murderous, Arsenic and Old Lace is a good-time old-time theatrical wink at just about everything sacred.
Genial, sophisticated Mortimer Brewster, a drama critic who saves time by writing his reviews on the way to the theatre, visits his doting and dotty aunts. He disbelievingly discovers that Abby and Martha, these seemingly harmless and fairy godmotherly old ladies who donate toys to policemen's charities and who would never ever stoop to telling a fib, are poisoning lonely old men as an act of charity. Advertising for boarders, they lure elderly bachelors, and induce them to drink their lethally delicious elderberry wine. They then deposit the body in their window seat, tell their strange nephew, Mortimer's brother, Teddy (as in Roosevelt) -- that there's been another yellow fever victim, and, after proper funeral services, get the bugle-blowing "president" to bury him in the Panama Canal, I mean the basement.
These kindly souls, who've "almost come to the conclusion that this Hitler is not a Christian," believe they are simply doing a good deed -- a kind of involuntary euthanasia pre-Dr. Kevorkian.
Enter Jonathan, another brother -- a long-lost bad seed and now hit man -- shows up on the lam, toting his own corpse. What makes Jonathan really mad is being told he resembles Boris Karloff, which he does; his polite accomplice, Dr. Einstein (no, not that one), an unlicensed plastic surgeon, got drunk during an identity-changing operation. Jonathan's plans interfere with Mortimer's and vice versa. Oh, there's also a beautiful girl next door, Elaine, who's bent on marrying Mortimer.
And this is only the first act.
What makes Arsenic and Old Lace so much fun -- besides the breakneck pace of its frequent farce and the physical comedy of its occasional slapstick -- is its singularly aggressive humor: comedy that doesn't sting even when it cuts, since it's delivered by likable nuts. Shots taken by entertaining kooks are inviting, not confrontational. Even bad guy Jonathan is quaint: not only is he sensitive about his appearance
-- which makes him amusingly scary -- but he also pouts because his "amateur" aunts have killed as many people as he has.
There are barbs about religion, morality,the theater, the police, love and marriage. And there are endless one-liners: "You know that hole in the cellar?" Dr. Einstein, discovering the corpses, asks Jonathan, "Well, we got an ace in that hole."
Frequently performed at summer stock, regional, and school theaters, Arsenic and Old Lace, originally titled Bodies in Our Cellar, was so successful in its Broadway premiere that it ran for more than three years. Boris Karloff spoofed himself by playing Jonathan. It was produced -- and perhaps textually revised -- by the famed team of Howard Lindsay and Russel Crouse (Anything Goes, Life with Father, State of the Union, The Sound of Music). Frank Capra directed the 1944 hit movie version, which starred Cary Grant as Mortimer, Raymond Massey as Jonathan, and Peter Lorre as Dr. Einstein. In 1955, CBS aired an acclaimed television version featuring Helen Hayes and Billie Burke as the Brewster sisters and Orson Bean as Mortimer, with Peter Lorre and Boris Karloff revising their roles. Jean Stapleton, Polly Holliday, and Tony Roberts headed the cast of a 1986 Broadway revival.
Everything looks right in Chris Wilson's production at the Actors Theatre of Houston. Darrin Butters and Jim Jeter's set sets off a terrific first impression: covering two-and-a-half floors and running virtually the entire length and width of the theater, it's full of period furniture, lace covered tables, silver tea sets, auntie-ish bibelots. Terrific use is made of space, from diplomas on walls to rooms we never see into, to the front door hanging where the audience enters and exits. An intimacy is created by having the audience sit above either side of the stage; viewers truly look into the Brewster's warm, pink-colored home.
The actors quite capably perform in this in-the-round type setting. Particularly outstanding is Sharon Bennett: the "oohs" her Martha speaks at the beginning of nearly every sentence carry just the right inflection of soft clucking. Ruth Ann Black's Abby is a bit more earnest than dithering, but her character's sincerity rings true. These actresses flow into each other and overlap, as loving sisters would, when they announce that Jonathan's "impostor" corpse is sadly mistaken if he came with the expectation of being buried in their cellar.
The rest of the principal performers look their parts. Literally. Steven McDowell's Teddy bears a passing resemblance to Roosevelt; Dan Flahive's Jonathan has Karloff's eyebrows and nose; Lonnie Reeves' Einstein isn't a bad Peter Lorre; Allen Dorris' Mortimer carries himself somewhat like Cary Grant.
If you assume these famous outward appearances, you had better make sure that the performances bear them out. The text calls for Roosevelt and Karloff similarities. Though he neglects to shade Teddy as the untouchable innocent he is, McDowell is quite convincing, especially with his body movements, as the would-be President who screams "Charge!" as he unleashes an imaginary sword and ascends a staircase he thinks is San Juan Hill. Flahive makes his eyes suitably monstrous, but he overuses his voice, melodramatically bellowing too much to be a wickedly delicious Karloff takeoff.
The actors playing the Cary Grant and Peter Lorre characters follow their famous film predecessors a bit too closely -- or not closely enough -- instead of offering their own take on characterizations. Dorris captures more of Grant's physical energy than his offhanded charm. And Reeves' has Lorre's breathy German down, but not his insinuating attitude. Unless one has the abilities of Rich Little, one should stay away from imitation.
But director Wilson steers everybody where they need to go. From her very appropriate nod to Gilbert and Sullivan on one of the stage walls, to how she has her actors charge off the set after curtain calls, Wilson is in complete command. Even down to the presidential outfits and Judith Anderson-esque mourning dresses.
Though the play runs a bit long at nearly three hours, Actors Theatre mounts a sturdy, professional production of a grand old play.
