Babies in SA

Thanks to everyone who participated in the “Babies” contest for free tickets to see the documentary last week. If you didn’t get a chance to see the movie, I recommend you do especially if you love babies! Below you will find some of the photos sent in by CineSnob.net visitors. Remember to come back for more contests and special screenings throughout the year. And tell more of your friends and family about the site!

Cantinflas on DVD

Mario Moreno (AKA “Cantinflas”), who Charlie Chaplin once named “The Funniest Man in the World,” created a simple yet universal character which has made young and old laugh throughout the years.

Oscar Nomination Reactions

Like I do every February, I was up early this morning to hear the announcement of the nominees for this year’s Academy Awards. I’m a big dork when it comes to these things and love keeping track of all the best movies of the year and try to predict who will be nominated. The more important predictions will come later this month when I make my picks on who will actual win the coveted Oscar, but until then check out below to see how I fared this year and what I thought about the nominations.

Golden Globes Afterthoughts

I really don’t put too much emphasis on the Golden Globe Awards. I see them more like the junior varsity of awards show when compared to something like the Oscars.

Happy 2010!

May your 2010 be filled with good health, happiness and lots of trips to the movie theater!

CineSnob’s Best Films of the Decade (2000-2009)

This is my very first “Best Films of the Decade” list, so I was excited to look back and think about everything I saw over the last 10 years. The first time I sat down and wrote a film review was actually in 2000 when I was a skinny 20-year-old journalism student writing for my college paper. Nine years later, I’m still going strong.

CineSnob’s Top 10 Films of 2009

The year has come to an end and it’s finally time to unveil the top 10 films that had the most profound effect on me as a movie critic. This year, I’ve seen over 165 films at the theater. During some, I wished there was an ejection button on my seat. During others, I hoped the movie would never end. Without further ado, here are my picks for the best films of the year and a few honorable mentions.

CineSnob’s Worst Films of 2009

Writing a “Worst of” list is not something I tend to fully enjoy at the end of the year. One reason is because I see so many terrible films from January to December, it’s hard to sit down and actually rank their rankness. Anyway, without further ado, here are the 10 Worst Films of 2009 with a few dishonorable mentions thrown in. Think of them as salt in the wound.

‘New Moon’ Winners Announced!

Thank you to everyone who participated in the “New Moon” contest for tickets to the special screening of the movie next week. I got quite a few entries and many of them were very creative! If you were a winner, you should have already received an email from me. Again, thanks to everyone for being such great sports. Usually, I’ll just do a trivia contest or ticket giveaway, but if the movie is in high demand and I only have a few tickets (like in this instance), I’d rather figure out a fun and fair way to give them out to whoever wants them the most.

Congrats to all ‘Wild Things’ art contest winners!

Congratulations to all the winners of the “Where the Wild Things Are” art contest. I received some really creative work from a lot of kids and adults. Here are some of my favorites.
