Movie News | Matt | 22nd February 2010

The Baftas are either a good indication of next month's Academy Award achievers, or just a watered-down version of the Oscars that holds no interest for people outside of the UK. *adopts cheery newscaster voice* Here are the winners!

The Soloist

Movie Review | Matt | 24th September 2009

Mental illness? Homelessness? A man battling all odds to express his extraordinary gift? Based on a true story? Yes, it's 'Oscar Winning by Numbers' and it comes from a bunch of people who are already familiar with the golden baldie, so it's kind of a shoo-in for the Academy Awards.
