The first month of 2011 has already wrapped... not to mention the first month of this BRAND NEW SITE. Can you believe? The big welcome was only one month ago. Here are ten highlights from the month in case you're just joining us or you happened to miss any of them:
Big Hair. Big Diva. Big Musical.
- Truth in Advertising - rejiggering some FYC ads.
- Overheard and Illustrated -How Black Swan is just like Donnie Darko.
- Red Carpet at the Globes - so much green. so much shoulder pad. so much saloon girl.
- Nathaniel's Top Ten List -from Viking Islands to Harvard Final Clubs to Italian Estates.
- Donna Murphy as Mother Gother in Tangled - a vocal appreciation.
- What If There Were Five? - a comment discussion.
- David O. Russell a few interesting anecdotes from the great director's Museum of the Moving Image interview with Spike Jonze.
- Clint & Beyoncé the weirdest movie new of the month -- maybe even the year within the first month.
- Streisand for Gypsy the second weirdest movie news of the month -- also a musical remake.
- Jacki Weaver Interview Epilogue: Thrilled she was nominated. What a relief.
Coming in February: Pixar retrospective, romantic moments in the movies, interviews with Oscar nominees, BAFTA blogging... and we'll also finish up the FiLM BiTCH Awards... pinky swear!
