How'd It Get Burned? - Feb. 23, 2010
Perez Hilton has a gem of a quote from Nicolas Cage about his fiscal woes: “The first thing you think is, ‘This can’t be true. I want to crawl up and hide at the end of the world.' I have a new manager now, so I’m halfway there, and I will pay off all those debts, to the last cent. I have a responsibility for my sons and my wife. I have to get back on my feet.”
And just in case you were in denial, "The Sorcerer's Apprentice" is actually happening. There's a trailer and a full cast list over at IMDb.

Oscar Watch - Tomatoes Weigh In
2008’s Best Picture – Slumdog Millionaire (93% - #32)
2009 Best Picture Nominees:
Up (98% - #4 - The characterizations are fairly coarse cartoons, in contrast to the emotionally rich cartoons that have become Pixar's hallmark. They're more schematic than organic, and that applies to the plotting as well, Joe Morgenstern of WSJ)
Hurt Locker (97% - #7- It’s only a movie about men at work in war. Yet it seems like a definitive war movie, Jonathan Kiefer of Sacramento News & Review)
An Education (95% - #18 - You may think you know where the film is going, but its ecstasy and heartbreak will stick with you afterward. It's one of the year's best, Christy Lemire of AP)
Precious (91% - #45 - There is a thin line between compassion and voyeurism; soul-searing drama and overwrought melodrama; opera and Oprah. This film tramples all over it, Christopher Tookey of Daily Mail (UK))
District 9 (90% - #51 - You don’t feel bamboozled, fooled, or patronized by District 9, as you did by most of the summer blockbusters. You feel winded, shaken, and shamed,
Up in the Air (90% - #52 - There's nothing too profound here, and yet it works well as a smart, light cosmopolitan comedy: it's a snack, rather than a meal, but expertly made, Peter Bradshaw of Guardian [
Inglourious Basterds (89% - #59 - Quentin Tarantino seems to be hanging on to a lost world of moviemaking. He may be nuts. But he's a nut who cares, Stephanie Zacharek of Salon.com)
A Serious Man (87% - #72 - it feels nasty and pointlessly vindictive. There's a hole in the middle of this movie, where a modicum of empathy and humanity ought to be, Tookey strikes again)
Avatar (82% - didn’t rank - Alternates between a slurry of Franz Marc expressionism and the most elaborate Thundercats episode ever made, Fernando F. Croce of CinePassion)
Blind Side (69% - didn’t rank - The so-called "feel-good" film functioning as a well-timed balm for the conflicted soul of white America, Kimberley Gaddette of Indie Movies Online)
How'd It Get Burned? - Feb. 15, 2010
The bad news train pulls back into the Nic Cage station this week.
Empire announces (as is everyone else) that "Season of the Witch" is getting yanked from theaters five weeks before its advertised drop date. No word yet on when (or if) the flick's getting a new date, so audiences will have to wait and see if Nic lives up to the film's catchphrase - "CUT OFF THE HEAD!"
Hooray! Ugo tells us that "Drive Angry," one of many vigilante movies Nic has in the works, is going to be in 3D! Watch out, "Avatar"...
And "Kick-Ass" star Chloe Moretz has the most anti-climactic story over at MTV's Splash Page. It must be read to be believed.
