The Oscars aren’t until March 2, and several of the eligible films are still weeks away from hitting theaters, but that hasn’t stopped Wynn Las Vegas oddsmaker Johnny Avello from declaring favorites, for entertainment purposes only, for the event.
Movies
Moviegoers satiated their appetite for the “Hunger Games” franchise by making the sequel “Catching Fire” one of the year’s biggest hits.
How good is “Dallas Buyers Club”? Matthew McConaughey shed nearly 50 pounds for his role, blows the walls off of whatever boxes Hollywood has put him in and doesn’t utter a single “awright, awright, awright.”
Every so often, it’s as though all of Hollywood gets together in a secret bunker and decides that an actor is overdue for an Oscar. This year seems to be Matthew McConaughey’s time for his performance in “Dallas Buyers Club.”
“The Hunger Games: Catching Fire” should more than satisfy the cravings of fans who’ve spent the 20-month gap between movies quivering with anticipation.
After having seen the first two “Hunger Games” movies and four of the five “Twilights,” there’s no doubt which makes for the better young-adult film franchise.
