Released: 25th January 2019 Directed By: Karyn Kusama Starring: Nicole Kidman, Sebastian Stan, Scoot McNairy Reviewed By: Jess Ennis There’s a handy causal link which suggests that the more prosthetics an actor wears, the more likely they are to get some Oscar buzz – or even a win. Think Steve Carell in Foxcatcher, Charlize Theron […]

This past week, I was honored to be a guest on the CinemaJaw podcast, hosted by fellow Chicago Independent Film Critics Circle members Matt Kubinski and Ryan Jagiello. After being on their show in the spring of 2017, this was my first venture into their new recording setting at the nerdily lavish and swanky headquarters of Cards Against Humanity. CinemaJaw remains one of the best and entertaining movie podcasts in this or any city. Give their work a like and a follow!
On Episode #405, the film up for group roundtable review was Vice. The Top 5 segment was to highlight the best male performances of 2018, where I tried to dig deep with some undervalued picks. After a trivia segment, My final act was to judge the "CinemaWAR" bout between the performances under the prosthetics for Christian Bale of Vice and last year’s Best Actor Oscar winner Gary Oldman for The Darkest Hour. Enjoy their extraordinary show!

Notable and notorious IndieWire film critic David Ehrlich recently put out a social media call for film critic peers to join a weekly survey to discuss movie topics, answer questions, and highlight their work. Representing Every Movie Has a Lesson, I, along with over 60 other emerging and established film critics including some of my fellow Chicago Independent Film Critics Circle members and Aaron White of Feelin’ Film, accepted the invitation to participate. I'm honored by the opportunity, and I hope my responses are chosen each week.
For the first IndieWire Critics Survey of the new year, this question immediately reminded me of my annual “New Years Resolutions for the Movie Industry” column that I really enjoy writing every December and January. My recent 2019 piece had eleven resolutions and I went for one on the Oscars. I’m really impressed by the entire collected article of responses, many of which ask for equal parts of equity and levity. For those folks out there that think most film critics are pretentious snobs, come read this strong unity of positive opinions. This was a great start for 2019. Also of note, because this was the first survey of the year, all of the participants had their sites and Twitter handles linked. Add to your rotation of informers.
