If you’ve been around HeidiTown for more than a couple years, you’ll remember that I used to write movie reviews here, and I’m a bit of a film buff. I absolutely LOVE the Oscars. I am one of “those people,” and I start watching as soon as the red carpet is rolled out and the limos start arriving. Last year, I ran a similar contest here, and the winners documented
The Kress is rolling out the red carpet for YOU! The Kress Cinema & Lounge is located in downtown Greeley, Colorado and it’s a HeidiTown favorite! This is a classy lounge with a well-appointed theater. They have live music in the bar area on the weekends and old and new movies nearly every night of the week. They also have a full lunch and dinner menu. It’s worth the trip
If you’ve been a longtime resident of HeidiTown, you know that the Mayor likes movies. I don’t post movie reviews here anymore, but I still see a lot of movies, and I love the Oscars despite the fact that there are now ten best picture nominees (it’s hard enough finding 5 movies good enough to be best picture nominees). The 83rd Academy Awards will be held on Sunday, February 27,
The Orange British Academy Film Awards were held Sunday, February 21, 2010. There are lots of reason to love the Brits, and here’s just one. HeidiTown’s highest rated film of 2009, won big last night during the 2010 Orange British Academy Film Awards (aka BAFTA). Both “The Hurt Locker“ and “Avatar“ went into the awards with eight nominations each, with “The Hurt Locker” winning six, including Best Director
Rated R Directed by Jason Reitman Starring George Clooney, Vera Farmiga, Anna Kendrick, Jason Bateman, Danny McBride Heidi’s Illustrious Rating: 4/5 Word of Warning: Lots of product placement in this movie, sometimes distracting from what is otherwise a great film. Before I expound on “Up in the Air” I want to make a statement. Apparently American Airlines paid a lot of money to be the featured airline in this film,
A while ago, a fellow writer friend mentioned she enjoys watching the Golden Globes because everyone gets drunk. Last night definitely lived up to the billing. Even the greats including Meryl Streep and Harrison Ford seemed as though they’d indulged in more than a few cocktails during the event, and there was lots of giggling during post-show interviews. “Avatar“ was the big winner, snagging both Best Director and
I just had one of those “wow I’m glad I didn’t go to the theater to see that movie” moments. “Rachel Getting Married” is the indie flick from that snagged Anne Hathaway an Oscar best-actress nomination in 2008. She did fine, but after seeing this movie, I’m glad she didn’t win, because I was not blown away by her performance. This is a movie about a girl name Kym (Anne
From gowns to speeches, I am crazy about the Academy Awards. I sit rapt through the red carpet show, the award ceremony and the follow-up best and worst dressed shows that will follow all week. Obviously, I look forward to the Academy Awards, and they are finally here. Here are my illustrious predictions: Documentary Feature – The Betrayal (Nerakhoon), Encounters at the End of the World, Garden, Man on
Will Emma Thompson received another Academy Award? “Brideshead Revisited” Read my review HERE.
The Coen brothers’ No Country for Old Men, won big tonight, taking home the Oscar for Best Picture, Director, Actor in a Supporting Role and Writing (adapted screenplay). Thankfully, I did manage to see the movie this afternoon before the big show. I was rooting for Michael Clayton, but thought No Country for Old Men was quite good and I will work to get my review up within
