And again the award goes to...

Well, the Oscar nominations are in...finally. Let's see how well we do this year!

The only nominated movies that I saw were APOCALYPTO, STUPORMAN RETURNS, CARS and MONSTER HOUSE. My in-theater cinema experience is heavily skewed towards kid movies these days and my in-home viewing of Asian exploitation cinema, B-movies, spoofs of B-movies, and kung-fu flicks didn't seem to be the kind of cinema fare that the Academy usually rewards. Hopefully GRINDHOUSE will change their minds!

So, folks...vote early and vote often! And, damn the Academy for not giving SNAKES ON A PLANE an Oscar nod. I'd much rather see the visual effects in that flick than have to suffer through STUPORMAN RETURNS ever again! SNAKES was what it was and didn't pretend to be anything more. STUPORMAN aspired to be something great and didn't deliver. The best thing about STUPORMAN was the SPIDERMAN 3 trailer that ran before it! It was all downhill from there.
