"12 Years a Slave" Wins "Best Film" at 2014 BAFTAs - Complete List
by Leroy Douresseaux
"12 Years a Slave" Wins "Best Film"
The British equivalent of the Oscars is the EE British Academy Film Awards (also known as the BAFTAs). The 67th British Academy Film Awards took place on Sunday, February 16, 2014 at the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden, London. The ceremony was hosted by Stephen Fry and broadcast exclusively on BBC One and BBC One HD.
Gravity was the leading winner with 6 awards, including “Best Director” (Alfonso Cuarón) and “Best British Film” (a designation that was and still is controversial in some circles). American Hustle won three prizes, including “Best Supporting Actress” for Jennifer Lawrence.
According to what I’ve read, the night wore on, and 12 Years a Slave was not winning in categories it was expected win (adapted screenplay, supporting actress, and even supporting actor). Some thought that the film would not win any awards, but towards the end of the show, the film picked up the big wins. First, there was “Best Actor” for Chiwetel Ejiofor. Then, when it seemed like Gravity and maybe American Hustle would win “Best Film,” 12 Years a Slave escaped with the trophy (going to producers Anthony Katagas, Brad Pitt, Dede Gardner, Jeremy Kleiner, and Steve McQueen.
In the non-competitive awards, director Peter Greenaway was honored with “Outstanding British Contribution to Cinema” and Helen Mirren won “The Fellowship,” the highest honor the Academy can bestow.

Review: "Kick-Ass 2" Kicks Better Ass
Kick-Ass 2 (2013)
Running time: 103 minutes (1 hour, 43 minutes)
MPAA – R for strong violence, pervasive language, crude and sexual content, and brief nudity
DIRECTOR: Jeff Wadlow
WRITER: Jeff Wadlow (based upon the comic books by Mark Millar and John Romita Jr.)
PRODUCERS: Adam Bohling, Tarquin Pack, Brad Pitt, David Reid, and Matthew Vaughn
CINEMATOGRAPHER: Tim Maurice Jones (D.o.P.)
EDITOR: Eddie Hamilton
COMPOSERS: Henry Jackman and Matthew Margeson
SUPERHERO/FANTASY/CRIME/COMEDY
Starring: Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Chloë Grace Moretz, Christopher Mintz-Plasse, Morris Chestnut, Clark Duke, Augustus Prew, Donald Fiason, Garret M. Brown, Steve Mackintosh, Monica Dolan, Robert Emms, Lindy Booth, Daniel Kaluuya, Olga Kurkulina, Tom Wu, Yancy Butler, and Jim Carrey
Kick-Ass 2 is a 2013 British-American superhero film and crime comedy from writer-director, Jeff Wadlow. It is based upon two comic books, Kick-Ass 2 and Hit Girl, from writer Mark Millar (the creator of Wanted) and John Romita, Jr. Kick-Ass 2 is also a sequel to the 2010 film, Kick Ass, which was also based on a Millar-Romita, Jr. comic book of the same name. In Kick-Ass 2 the movie, high-school superhero Kick-Ass joins a group of costumed crime-fighters who were inspired by him, while an old enemy plots revenge against him.
After the events of the first film, high school student Dave Lizewski (Aaron Johnson) retired from fighting crime as the costumed vigilante/superhero, “Kick-Ass.” But now, he is bored, and begins training with Mindy Macready a/k/a Hit Girl (Chloë Grace Moretz), who is now 15-years-old. However, Mindy’s guardian is her late father’s friend, Detective Marcus Williams (Morris Chestnut), and he demands that Mindy give up being Hit Girl and become a proper high school student.
With Hit Girl taken out of action, Dave looks for a new partner and finds a group of normal citizens who were inspired by Kick-Ass to fight crime in costume. Led by Colonel Stars and Stripes (Jim Carrey), Kick-Ass and a small band of wannabe superheroes fight crime and do charity work.
Meanwhile, Chris D’Amico (Christopher Mintz-Plasse), whose crime boss father was killed by Kick-Ass, is frustrated that his mother forced him to stop being the costumed Red Mist. After he takes control of his family’s wealthy, Chris becomes what he calls the world’s first supervillain, The Motherfucker, and swears vengeance against Kick-Ass.
I thought that the first Kick Ass movie wasn’t as deranged as it thought it was, nor was it as entertaining as its source material. Kick-Ass 2 is as deranged as it thinks it is – perhaps even more so. Sometimes, it is too deranged – with violence that is off-putting. It is not that the violence is over-the-top, so much that it seems like the filmmakers almost seemed obsessed with spiting the critics, prudes, and people who cannot accept that this is make-believe and has nothing to do with real-world violence (like Newtown).
I think I find Kick-Ass 2 more entertaining than the first movie because the new film has one main plot. The first movie was kind of all over the place, which is understandable as it was introducing a new kind of superhero concept. Kick-Ass 2 is about revenge. Yes, the story has subplots about teen angst and self-doubt, parental-child conflict, and peer acceptance, but this is a movie about payback and the mindset one has to have in order to engage in revenge.
I thought Hit Girl dominated the first movie, thankfully. This time, Dave Lizewski and Chris D’Amico are just as fun to watch as Mindy Macready, although I honestly wish that Kick-Ass 2 has a few more hits of Hit Girl. Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Chloë Grace Moretz, and Christopher Mintz-Plasse deliver excellent performances that make their characters’ respective conflicts, obstacles, and goals seem quite genuine.
I can’t say exactly what, but Kick-Ass 2 seems to be missing something. I like the movie and had a blast watching some of it, but there were moments that I found only mildly amusing and entertaining. I guess that should be enough. I can say that Kick-Ass 2 has the wanton violence, foul language, and sexual content of the first film, but done a little more thoughtfully. Plus, Jim Carrey’s turn in a small role is an amazing little thing that has to be seen.

Review: "Cry_Wolf" Worthy of Attention
Cry_Wolf (2005)
Running time: 90 minutes (1 hour, 30 minutes)
MPAA – PG-13 for violence, terror, disturbing images, language, sexuality, and a brief drug reference
DIRECTOR: Jeff Wadlow
WRITERS: Jeff Wadlow and Beau Bauman
PRODUCER: Beau Bauman
CINEMATOGRAPHER: Romeo Tirone
EDITOR: Seth Gordon
COMPOSER: Michael Wandmacher
HORROR/THRILLER/MYSTERY
Starring: Julian Morris, Lindy Booth, Jared Padalecki, Jon Bon Jovi, Sandra McCoy, Kristy Wu, Jane Beard, Gary Cole, Jesse Janzen, Paul James, Ethan Cohn, and Michael Kennedy
The subject of this movie review is Cry_Wolf, a 2005 horror film and murder mystery from the team of Jeff Wadlow and Beau Bauman. The film focuses on eight high school seniors at a posh boarding school whose lies catch up with them after they create a fake serial killer prank.
Tossed out of his old school, Owen Matthews (Julian Morris) arrives at prestigious Westlake Prep where he falls in with the school’s unofficial and self-appointed “liar’s club.” Playing on the fear caused by a young woman recently found murdered in the woods, the friends decide to expand the reach of their game beyond campus.
They create an online rumor that the girl’s slaying is just the latest in a long line of killings by a serial killer known as “The Wolf.” Owen and Dodger (Lindy Booth), a female student that he likes, even create an M.O. for The Wolf and describe the kind of victims he prefers to murder after his initial kill, in this case, the girl he supposedly murdered in the nearby woods. However, the club bases the victims on the people they know – each other.
After journalism teacher Rich Walker (Jon Bon Jovi) admonishes him about the dangers of online predators and spreading fear on the Internet, Owen regrets personally sending the initial Wolf rumor into cyberspace. Worse still, someone calling himself “The Wolf” starts sending Owen threats via email and one of the liar’s club turns up missing. Owen and his friends don’t know where their lies end and the truth begins. However, campus officials consider the eight friends to be troublemakers, with Owen the ringleader and the one destined for expulsion. So when the gang cries for help, everyone else views the distress as another hoax perpetrated by bad youths. Nobody believes a liar, even when they’re telling the truth – perhaps, the real Wolf is stalking them.
Co-writer/producer Beau Bauman and co-writer/director Jeff Wadlow’s offbeat horror flick, Cry_Wolf, creates a novel twist on slasher films. The atmosphere is good – occasionally creepy and will sometimes put you on the edge of your seat. A quirky suspense thriller, Cry_Wolf has so many interesting twists and turns, quiet a few of which would make sense in the real world.
The film’s major problem is, of course, Bauman and Wadlow’s script. They try something different and their concept is good. One thing that works is the dialogue and interpersonal dynamics between the high school age characters; it’s sharp, witty, blistering, and dead-on. However, the tense relationship between Owen and his father (played by Gary Cole with a bad English accent) is treated like stock footage.
The script’s big slip up is on the characters themselves, all of which come across as limp or wispy. Some, like Owen and Dodger, are very interesting, but the screenplay is so focused on genre trappings and putting a unique spin on said genre that it doesn’t have time for the kind of rich character play Owen and Dodger both need and deserve. The rest of the participants are intriguing, but are ultimately (or technically, as it turns out) just body count fodder.
That makes Cry_Wolf like so many other scary movies, soft on script even when the story concept is exciting. Still, there is something to be said for trying something new. At the end of the day, Cry_Wolf says that there is something scarier that the unknown killer in the dark. It’s the people we think we know, people with something to hide and scores to settle for the wrongs they think their friends, colleagues, and associates have done them. How far they willing to go and whom they’re willing to manipulate to balance the accounts can chill to the bones.

"12 Years a Slave" Has Record Night at Black Reel Awards
by Leroy Douresseaux
The evening of Thursday, February 13, 2014 in the Nation’s Capital (Washington D.C., for some of you), the 14th Annual Black Reel Awards ceremony took place. The Black Reel Awards handed out their prizes for the finest accomplishments and achievements of African-Americans and people of the African Diaspora in feature and independent films and television in 2013.
The runaway winner of the night was 12 Years a Slave. Directed by Steve McQueen, the film is a harrowing story of a free black man who is kidnapped from his Northern home and family and forced into more than a decade of slavery. The film won 8 awards, besting previous record-holder, Precious, which won 7 Black Reel Awards out of 10 nominations at the 2010 awards.
12 Years a Slave’s wins included “Outstanding Motion Picture,” “Outstanding Actor” for Chiwetel Ejiofor (who also won “Outstanding TV Movie Actor” for Dancing on the Edge), “Outstanding Supporting Actress” for newcomer Lupita Nyong’o (who also won “Outstanding Female Breakthrough Performance”), “Outstanding Director” for Steve McQueen, “Outstanding Screenplay” for John Ridley, “Outstanding Ensemble,” and “Outstanding Score,” an apparently unexpected win for maestro Hans Zimmer.
