Preview: The Oscars

It's that time again! Time for Mitch to tell you all about who is going to win in a pompous show with lots and lots of movies that probably 75% of you haven't seen! In three years of previewing and predicting the Oscar winners for us here on The Cleveland Fan, The Mitch Man has a pretty good track record. Heath Ledger seems like a lock to win Best Supporting Actor posthumumously for his role as The Joker ... but who wins Best Picture of 2008? What about Best Actor and Best Actress? Mitch breaks it all down for us in his preview of tonight's festivities.

Movie Review: Slumdog Millionaire

In Mitch's opinion, 2008 will not go down as a great year for movies. He's even gone as far as to say that it was the worst overall year of this decade. Mitch has pointed to some bright spots, such as "The Dark Knight", "Wall-E", "Iron Man", "Gran Torino", and just recently "Frost/Nixon". But nothing that just blew him away like we saw in 2006 and 2007. Nothing...until he walked into the theater and witnessed "Slumdog Millionaire". Mitch reviews the frontrunner for Best Picture of 2008 in his latest.

The Crystal Ball - February 20 Releases

In three years of writing "The Crystal Ball" for us on Friday nights, Mitch doesn't ever think he's seen a week like this one, bereft of even a single movie being released at the theaters or on DVD that's worth seeing. Good thing it's Oscars weekend, and there's a whole host of good hoops games and the Kelly Pavlik fight on Saturday night. Be sure to check back in this weekend for Mitch's review of "Slumdog Millionaire" and his Oscars preview on Sunday.

Movie Review: Frost/Nixon

As we do every year, we are running reviews from Mitch on all five Best Picture candidates in the week leading up to Oscar weekend. We've already run Mitch's reviews of "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button", "Milk", and "The Reader" ... and now we get to the two films Mitch loved, and the films he feels will battle it out for Best Picture of 2008. Tonight, we run his review of "Frost/Nixon" and Saturday we will run his review of "Slumdog Millionaire". And Sunday morning we will run Mitch's Oscar preview.

Movie Review: The Reader

For the third year in a row, Mitch is posting reviews of all five films nominated for Best Picture in the week before the Oscar presentations. And for the third year in a row, he tells our readers tonight that he has the unfortunate duty to review a film that had absolutely no business being nominated. Kate Winslet has been hailed for her performance in "The Reader", a role she is up for Best Actress for. But Mitch says not even her performance could save this film. Stay tuned this week for Mitch's reviews of "Frost/Nixon" and "Slumdog Millionaire".
