The good, the bad and the ugly

Well, it's that time again when many film reviewers and critics compile their lists of Best (and Worst) of the flicks they were exposed to in the preceding year. Given that one can no more tell people which films they "should" like and which they shouldn't, anymore than you can expect everybody to agree with you on the taste of tripe soup or boiled tongue-- or even honey, for that matter -- it should be obvious to any person capable of having his (or her) own opinions, that critics are not heaven ordained Arbiters of Taste -- they are just frequent film fliers who, because they see so many and habitually express their opinions in writing, are maybe just a wee bit better equipped to conjure up cogent reasons for their own likes and dislikes, prejudices and predilections-- but not necessarily.

Directors Guild of America announces 5Nominees

"A film is a collaboration, but it is the director's energy and vision that brings the elements of script, performance and production into a satisfying totality. Today's nominees demonstrate how vision, combined with skill and talent, creates magic on the screen," said Hackford. "What makes this award truly meaningful to directors is the knowledge that only this award is decided solely by their peers – the men and women who live the passion, sweat and fear that goes into creating feature films." The winner will be named at the 61st Annual DGA Awards Dinner on Saturday, January 31 2009, at the Hyatt Century Plaza Hotel in Los Angeles.
