Upon meeting Sam Rockwell for a chat this week, I probably shouldn't have been surprised to find the actor not in his seat, but rather doing a series of stretches in his Soho hotel room. Rockwell has always given the impression of being a guy bursting with energy, whether it be the manic mannerisms of Chuck Barris in Confessions of a Dangerous Mind or his dance moves as Justin Hammer in Iron Man ...

Filed under: Documentaries, Columns, Cinematical You could argue, depending on your definition, that films like 'The Social Network' and 'Secretariat' are documentaries. They are at least easily considered nonfiction films. If they were books they'd be in the nonfiction section along with the book equivalents of documentaries.

Early Picks For The Best Screenplay Race

Category: Movie

Posted 3 years ago

The screenplay race is always the most fun to speculate upon. Mostly because it is the one category where one of your favorite films of the year has a real shot at getting its single nomination; a little toss off to the year's best comedy, indie or twisty genre entity. It is where Pixar has proven time and time again that animated screenplays can be well-thought out and respected rather than forming ...
