Despite the lack of awards from the Academy (it only received one for Sound Editing), Zero Dark Thirty will go down as one of the definitive films of the 2010s (and missing out on Best Picture is almost a confirmation of this; see also: The Social Network).  The film's awards season momentum was slowed by a nonsense controversy over torture (people who didn't understand movies thought the film was promoting it), and one could think that screenwriter Mark Boal's conversations with the CIA may have "softened" the depiction of movie's harsher scenes.  Recently revealed documents reveal that this is only marginally true.

Hit the jump for details on the CIA's comments on the script for Zero Dark Thirty, and changes that were made in response to those comments.

In documents released under the Freedom of Information Act [via Gawker], Boal acquiesced to some of the disputes the CIA had with the script.  Specifically, in the original draft, Maya (Jessica Chastain) was going to participate in the torture scene, but the CIA said this never happened:
"For this scene we emphasized that substantive debriefers [i.e. Maya] did not administer [Enhanced Interrogation Techniques] because in this scene he had a non-interrogator, substantive debriefer assisting in a dosing technique."
While I don't think the CIA was trying to make Zero Dark Thirty artistically better, this change did improve the story since it helps slow Maya's descent to the dark side.  If she had started out torturing a suspect, it would lessen the impact of a later scene ...]]></description>

The events of September 11, 2001 had a profound effect on the United States of America that forever changed us as a nation.  We live in a post-9/11 world, and it is impossible to go back to “the way things were before.”  Though it’s been a decade since the event, in the scope of things we’re still living in the immediate aftermath of the most devastating domestic terror attack in history.  Filmmaker Kathryn Bigelow has now dealt with these effects in two films, as she previously focused on the events of the Iraq War with her 2008 Best Picture winner The Hurt Locker, and her brilliant 2012 drama Zero Dark Thirty masterfully chronicles the decade-long hunt for the man responsible for the 9/11 attacks: Osama Bin Laden.  The result of the latter is a taut procedural thriller that not only entertains, but also provides a difficult and introspective look at America’s place in the post-9/11 world.  Hit the jump for my review of Zero Dark Thirty on Blu-ray.

The Film

Zero Dark Thirty opens with a black screen, as audio starts to play from real-life phone calls made from people in the World Trade Center towers minutes before they fell.  It’s a harrowing experience, and these opening seconds tell audiences exactly what kind of film they can expect going forward.  This is not a “ruh-rah!” action movie about a group of Navy SEALs taking down Bin Laden; it’s a thoughtful, slow-burn drama that tells audiences exactly what happened in the years following ...]]></description>

Last year, Mondo put together a fun little event for the 2012 Academy Awards:  a few days prior to that Oscar Sunday, Mondo announced that a series of brand-new posters (all of which were based on that year’s Oscar-nominated films) would be dropping throughout the Academy’s broadcast.  Everyone dug the idea, the whole thing went off without a hitch, and—most importantly—waiting on a drop gave all of us something to focus on whenever watching the Oscars became too much to bear.

And so, when the Mondo guys announced they’d be doing it all over again in 2013, we were pumped (as were many of you).  But once that excitement died down, we were left wondering which of 2012’s Oscar-nominated films would get the Mondo treatment…and which of the rumors we’d been hearing would turn out to be true.  Answers to those questions (and many more) await you after the jump, folks.

By now you know that Mondo dropped a ton of new prints on us during the Oscars last night (FYI, that means they’ve all been sold out for hours now).  But maybe you weren’t able to get a good look at ‘em as they went on sale via Mondo’s store, or maybe you just want a second peek:  whatever the case may be, we’ve got every one of ‘em listed below.  A word of warning before we press on, though:  we’ve doubled up some of the entries below, in which case the variant edition will always be on the left (which ...]]></description>

Alas, we’ve come to the end.  The 85th Academy Awards will take place tomorrow evening, after which the past year of maneuvering, campaigning, and controversy-drumming will be rendered obsolete as we wipe the slate clean and start the next awards season cycle anew.  Over the past six days, we’ve been taking a look back at the 2012 awards race in a number of categories, chronicling the ebbs and flows that have led us to today.  This past year was one of the more crazy awards seasons in recent memory, but at least it’s been interesting.  Today we close out our Road to Oscar feature with the final category, Best Picture.  Hit the jump to read on, and click here to read our predictions for tomorrow night's ceremony.

Though most big Oscar contenders are released in the latter part of the year, our first bona fide Best Picture candidate hit theaters last May.  Director Wes Anderson’s Moonrise Kingdom was hailed as one of the filmmaker’s best films, and prognosticators kept their eye on the pic as we headed toward the fall. May also saw the release of another surprise contender with The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel.  The film’s impressive cast and positive reviews struck a chord with the older-skewing Academy members, and the pic would remain on the shortlist of Best Picture contenders right up until the nominees were announced. 

The small-budget fantasy drama Beasts of the Southern Wild was also a summer contender, as the film made a splash at the 2012 ...]]></description>

Continuing on with our “Road to Oscar” feature, today we’re going to take a look at how the race for Best Actress played out over the past 12 months.  With the 85th Academy Awards taking place this coming Sunday, we figured this week would be a nice opportunity to reflect on how a number of Oscar categories got to where they are today.  Join us after the jump as we break down the race for Best Actress.

Unlike Best Actor, the Best Actress race has seen some dramatic ebbs and flows over the past few months.  Our first candidate of the Oscar season actually came in January with six-year-old Quvenzhané Wallis in the Sundance hit Beasts of the Southern Wild.  The young actress was utterly captivating as Hushpuppy, and her performance is all the more impressive when you realize that she essentially carries the entire film.

Audiences sparked to young Wallis at Sundance and again in the summer when the film hit theaters, and while the actress’ talent was undeniable, some questioned whether the Academy would take notice or if they’d chalk her work up to good direction, given her age.  Nevertheless, Wallis remained a part of the conversation in the coming months.

Early 2012 also gave way to a couple of buzzworthy performances in foreign films.  The Cannes Film Festival in May saw the premiere of the French film Rust and Bone, and critics were quick to praise previous Best Actress winner Marion Cotillard for her work as a double-amputee whale trainer ...]]></description>

Last week, BAFTA premiered special posters for their Best Picture nominees.  Today, the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences had followed suit by teaming up with Gallery1988 and various artists to create posters for this year's Best Picture Oscar nominees.  There are some impressive posters, and I'm curious to see if they're going to go on sale at some point.  The Academy's website lists the dimensions and type of production (screen print), which leads me to believe that these might be available for purchase some day.  I'm sure there are plenty of readers who would love to get their hands on Mark Englert's print for Django Unchained. [Update: Gallery1988 has tweeted the following: "G1988 x The Academy. Official. 2/14 - 2/17. More soon." so it looks like you should get your wallets ready, and keep an eye on their official website.]

Hit the jump to check out the posters.  The Academy Awards will be held on February 24th at 7pm EST on ABC.

It wasn’t even close. Against a handful of holdovers and one weak new release, Summit Entertainment’s Warm Bodies walked off with this year’s Super Bowl box office prize. From 3,009 locations, the zombie comedy earned an estimated $20 million – more than twice the total of the number two title. Bullet to the Head, the frame’s only other wide release, took in just $4.5 million from 2,404 locations for a sixth place finish.

One year ago, two movies opened above $20 million on Super Bowl weekend: The Woman in Black and Chronicle. Both films targeted a young audience (women, especially) and both went on to earn over $50 million in the US. In fact, over the past five years, most of Super Bowl weekend’s biggest success stories have been teen-girl friendly: Dear John and Hannah Montana: The Best of Both Worlds, especially. No surprise, then, that this year’s winner would court the same demographic.

Adapted from a young adult novel, Warm Bodies is the story of a handsome teen zombie who falls for a human girl – think Twilight meets The Walking Dead. The movie has had decent reviews (76% on Rotten Tomatoes), though that doesn’t necessarily play a part in the financial success of a female-skewing Super Bowl release (see the 28% of Dear John).

Warm Bodies has already done much better than expected by reaching $20 million in its first three days: on par with 2012’s The Woman ...]]></description>

Winners of the 66th BAFTA Awards will be announced on February 10th, and artist Jonathan Burton has drawn up posters for the Best Picture nominees Lincoln, Argo, Zero Dark Thirty, Life of Pi, and Les Miserables.  These are some nice posters, and I wish the Oscars would do something similar.  Speaking of the BAFTAs, I'm curious to see if they follow suit with the PGA Awards and the SAG Awards and give Best Picture to Argo.  Adam recently pointed out to me that this year could be like 1995 where Apollo 13 picked up the PGA, SAG, and DGA but lost out on Best Picture to Braveheart.  Of course, Apollo 13 had a Best Director nomination, and Argo doesn't [Correction: Ron Howard was not nominated for Best Director, making the comparisons to Argo even more apt].  Competition-wise, it's going to be an interesting Academy Awards.

Hit the jump to check out the posters.  The 85th Annual Academy Awards will be held on February 24th.

Here’s something you don’t hear very often: “It was a good week for strong women at the box office.” Up against two new, male-driven action movies, actress Jessica Chastain claimed first and second place with Mama and Zero Dark Thirty. Chastain’s fellow Golden Globe winner, Jennifer Lawrence, took third with Silver Linings Playbook - ahead of Gangster Squad and the big name boys that launched debuts on Friday. Both Broken City (with Mark Wahlberg) and The Last Stand (with Arnold Schwarzenegger) were disappointments - though, fittingly, Arnold’s was on a much more epic scale.

Martin Luther King Jr. weekend has seen some impressive debuts over the last five years. 2008’s Cloverfield holds the record with $46.1 million, but both The Green Hornet (2011) and Paul Blart: Mall Cop (2009) opened in the $40 million range over their initial, three-day frames. One year ago, Contraband was the big hit $24.3 million – impressive enough to slate another Wahlberg vehicle for the same frame in 2013. And yet Wahlberg’s latest tough-guy effort will not go down as a Cloverfield or even Contraband-sized hit. Ditto Schwarzenegger’s return as a leading man. Instead, 2013’s holiday weekend is all about Jessica Chastain.

Of course, last week was also fairly Chastain-centric. In its first weekend playing nationwide, Zero Dark Thirty became the number one film with $24.4 million. This weekend, the Best Picture nominee dropped just 28% - securing second place behind Mama.

Two films starring newly-minted Golden Globe winner Jessica Chastain topped Friday’s box office. Zero Dark Thirty, the film that brought Chastain her Best Actress win on Sunday, was expected to run neck-and-neck with Mama, the new PG-13 horror feature, at this weekend’s box office. Instead, with a better-than expected $10 million estimate from 2,647 locations on Friday, Mama should easily claim the MLK weekend title with over $25 million. Zero Dark Thirty, last weekend’s number one film, will take second with around $15 million through Sunday. Chastain’s one-two sweep upstaged the weekend’s R-rated action debuts: Broken City and The Last Stand. Both underwhelmed - though with its estimate of $3 million from 2,620 locations, Broken City at least made it into Friday’s top five. Arnold Schwarzenegger’s The Last Stand was not so lucky. With just $2 million from 2,913 locations, The Last Stand will finish the weekend near the bottom of the top ten. Finally, Silver Linings Playbook expanded into 2,523 locations on Friday, propelling the R-rated Oscar nominee into the top five on its tenth weekend in theatres. Check back tomorrow for full details.

One of my favorite films of 2012, director Kathryn Bigelow’s drama about the hunt for Osama bin Laden, Zero Dark Thirty, is finally playing in theaters nationwide.  Loaded with amazing performances, an incredible script by Mark Boal (The Hurt Locker), and perfect direction, Zero Dark Thirty  should definitely be seen in a theater, and it's absolutely worth the price of admission.  In the film, Jessica Chastain plays a CIA operative spearheading the manhunt, and she stars alongside Kyle Chandler, Jason Clarke, Chris Pratt, Mark Strong, Scott Adkins, Joel Edgerton, and James Gandolfini.  For more on the film, read Matt’s review.

During the Los Angeles press day, I got to speak with Clarke. We talked about what the last few years have been like since he's landed some high profile projects, the way people are responding to the film, his reaction to seeing the film for the first time, deleted scenes, and more.  In addition, we also talked about some of his upcoming projects like Roland Emmerich's White House Down and William Monahan's next film, Mojave.  Hit the jump to watch.

The 2013 Golden Globes have just wrapped up.  I only watched the last hour of the ceremony because the Globes no longer have their awards season power due to voting schedule changes.  Reading tweets and Facebook posts, it seems like it was a fairly entertaining show (keep an eye out for Jodie Foster's acceptance speech for her Lifetime Achievement Award).  As for the winners, they were very "Globes" in that they were more populist choices that are unlikely to have much bearing on the Oscars.  Argo may have had a good night at the Globes by winning Best Picture (Drama) and Best Director, but I still think Lincoln is the picture to beat when it comes to the Academy Awards, especially since Ben Affleck was snubbed for the Best Director Oscar nomination.

In its first weekend in wide release, Zero Dark Thirty easily captured first place with an estimated $24 million from 2,937 locations. With months of press coverage, great reviews and a Best Picture nomination behind it, it’s perhaps unsurprising that the CIA thriller won the frame. A bit more surprising is the position claimed by A Haunted House. The low-budget genre spoof overcame the higher-profile (and higher-budgeted) Gangster Squad for second place at this weekend's box office.

Before we get to the details of this busy January frame, it is worth noting that this weekend’s top four films all carry the MPAA’s R rating. Why is that worth noting, you ask? Because it’s a relatively rare occurrence.

In the past four years there have been several instances where the top two films have been R-rated – Halloween is an especially fertile time for ‘adult’ themes. Early 2010 saw one week in which the top three films were all rated R: Shutter Island, Cop Out and The Crazies. But you have to go back to August 2009 to find a frame where the four top-grossing films were restricted to the over-seventeen set. They were: The Final Destination, Inglourious Basterds, Halloween 2 and District 9. And, yes, I made a big deal out of it back then, too.

Now that we have once again proven that the box office can support multiple rated-R offerings on any given week, let’s get ...]]></description>

She may have been overlooked by the Academy, but director Kathryn Bigelow has been avenged at the box office. Zero Dark Thirty, the “controversial” CIA thriller that has been enjoying incredible success in limited release, is now a success on a much wider scale. The Best Picture nominee took first place on Friday with an estimated $9 million from 2,937 runs. With its three-day take expected to top $25 million, Zero Dark Thirty will remain on top through Sunday, giving Bigelow the first number one hit of her career. Once the presumptive pick for the top spot, Warner Brothers’ Gangster Squad had to settle for third on Friday. The R-rated crime drama, which has had its own share of controversy following the events in Aurora and Newtown, earned an estimated $6.6 million from 3,103 locations - just under the $6.7 million estimate of the new R-rated comedy A Haunted House. With Django Unchained in fourth, it looks like the four highest-grossing domestic films will all carry an R-rating this weekend – the equivalent of a solar eclipse in box office parlance. We’ll have full details tomorrow.




  Title
Friday

[This is a re-post of my review from December when Zero Dark Thirty opened in limited release.  The film opens today in wide release.]

Kathryn Bigelow's previous film, The Hurt Locker, opened with the statement, "war is a drug." Like The Hurt Locker and her earlier film K-19: The Widowmaker, Bigelow's new picture, Zero Dark Thirty, deals with a deadly obsession created in wartime. But unlike Hurt Locker and K-19, Zero Dark Thirty exists on a different battlefield—one of intelligence gathering, subterfuge, shady tactics, and misinformation. It's a battlefield that is arguably more lethal than what we've seen before. It's not where we place our troops. It's where we place our citizens, and every moment in a post-9/11 world is a time bomb waiting to explode. In this world, Bigelow has crafted a thrilling and disturbing tale about how deeply an obsession can warp an individual, and how far we're willing to go for the illusion of safety.

The film opens on a black screen as we're forced to listen to the 911 calls made by those who were in the World Trade Center on September 11th. This potent reminder leads us into the next scene, which takes place two years later as neophyte agent Maya (Jessica Chastain) receives a brutal lesson in how the CIA operates. After witnessing the torture of a detainee at the hands of fellow agent (Jason Clarke), the broken-down captive eventually releases the name of a man who might be the key to finding Osama Bin Laden ...]]></description>

The 85th Annual Academy Awards announced its slew of nominations yesterday, but today the American Cinema Editors guild has released their nominations for excellence in editing for 2012.  Nominees for the 63rd Annual ACE Eddie Awards in the dramatic category include Zero Dark Thirty, Argo, Life of Pi, Lincoln, and Skyfall, while the comedy or musical category includes Best Picture hopeful Silver Linings Playbook and Seth MacFarlane’s R-rated comedy Ted.  Argo and Zero Dark Thirty seem like the formidable competition in the dramatic category given how expertly both films layer and manage tension throughout their running times, and coincidentally they both share one of the same editors: William Goldenberg.

The nominations for the 85th Academy Awards have been announced, and it's quite a whirlwind of nominees.  As expected, Lincoln landed the most nominations with 12, followed with Ang Lee's Life of Pi which nabbed 11.  The big story here, though, is the Best Director category.  Shockingly, only two (two!) of the DGA nominees for Best Director made the Oscar cut: Ang Lee and Steven Spielberg.  The rest of the category was filled out by Benh Zeitlin for Beasts of the Southern Wild, David O. Russell for Silver Linings Playbook, and Michael Haneke for Amour.  It was almost guaranteed that Ben Affleck and Kathryn Bigelow would be landing nominations for Argo and Zero Dark Thirty, respectively, but shockingly neither made the cut.  Apparently those films just directed themselves.  Based off today's nominations, it now looks like it's (surprisingly) down to Lincoln vs. Silver Linings Playbook for the big win.

Hit the jump to check out the list of nominees, and click here to check them against my predictions (somehow I predicted the Best Picture and Supporting Actor categories perfectly).  The 85th Academy Awards will take place on February 24th.

BEST PICTURE

	Argo
	Amour
	Beasts of the Southern Wild
	Django Unchained
	Les Miserables
	Life of Pi
	Lincoln
	Silver Linings Playbook
	Zero Dark Thirty

[Adam's note: By some miracle I predicted this category perfectly. I love Moonrise Kingdom and I'm sad not to see it land a nomination, but this is one of the more solid nominees lists in recent years. Not many "filler" nominees like Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close or The Blind Side. Based on today's nominations and how the guilds have been going so far, it looks like it's going to be down to Lincoln vs. Silver Linings Playbook for the win, ...]]></description>
