By John Foote The Best Supporting Actor I saw in 2005 was Terrence Howard in “Crash,” but they nominated the worthy Matt Dillon and snubbed Howard.

By Ethan Anderton Way before Capote earned Hoffman an Academy Award for Best Actor, he had already earned my respect from his work in Anderson's earlier films.

By theplaylist@gmail.com (The Playlist) God, we would love this doc to earn itself an Academy Award nomination. That would be an incredible feat and it's exceptionally deserving.

By Samara O'Shea Last week, author Alice Hoffman issued an apology to a reviewer she attacked via Twitter.

By apierleoni@sacbee.com (Allen Pierleoni) Any new book by Hoffman is an occasion to rejoice, as is the case with "The Story Sisters" (Shayne Areheart, $25, 336 pages). Alice is very decisive, but at the same time very open to other people's opinions," he said from New York City.

By STV Charlie Kaufman's directing debut Synecdoche, New York is the most inaccessible, challenging, infuriating, stupefying, heartbreaking film of 2008. It's also the best American movie we've seen this year, and as noted here this morning, it's required viewing this weekend for anyone w...

By theplaylist@gmail.com (The Playlist) Sam Raimi has chosen the "Spider Man" franchise over Tom Clancy's CIA Agent 'Jack Ryan' franchise. I.e. he won't have time to direct the latter.

By matt tobey 7. Kevin Spacey Pros: Has a strong comedic background but also has dramatic chops. Heat Vision and Jack was technically already a Bill Hicks biopic. Cons: Not sure if he can completely shed his Jack Blackiness and lose himself in the character. Though, this would be a great opportunity to try.

Even the IMDB, in its keywords lexicon, uses the antiquated term of “Mental Retardation” to designate movies such as Radio (the coffee-sipping webmasters in Seattle may want to correct that, pronto). Just under 150 films come up in this sub-category and sure enough, all of the movies ref...
