The 84th Academy Awards Nominations were announced a week ago, on January 24th. I personally believe that this years' nominations are a little bit peculiar. Some big (and pleasant) surprises, not just for great nominations people weren't expecting, and other ones that never happened and made some people, actors, etc., really upset. The thing is that it is official, and now the race has begun. The 2012 Oscar presentation will take place Sunday, February 26th, 2012.
As promised when I posted the announced nominations, I've chosen my favorite ones for this special event.
If you haven't had the chance to see the list yet, here's the complete list of nominations for the 84th Academy Awards and more especially, my personal favorites:

Have you ever wonder how CGI and visual effects take place during film scenes on your favorite movies? Today, we're sharing with you a short video of the first 9 minutes of the horror film, Final Destination 5. This video brings the same scene of the North Bay Bridge in Vancouver, when Sam Lawton (Nicolas D'Agosto) suffers a premonition that the bridge will collapse, killing everyone and himself.
It's pretty impressive the way they recreate all the small details on this long scene, and how they make it so appeal to the viewers on the final film. Hope you enjoy it as much as I did!
Check the trailer and let us know what you think about it!

The 84th Academy Awards Nominations have finally been announced today, January 24th. With some exceptions, I must say that I was kind of surprised with some significant differences between the Golden Globes, BAFTA and Oscars nominations this year 2012. Great day for The Artist, The Descendants, The Help, War Horse and Hugo, getting the mayoriy of the nominations this year. There were some big and pleasant surprises, for example, the nominations announced for Gary Oldman (Best Actor in Leading Role), Melissa McCarthy (Best Actress in Supporting Role) and Jonah Hill (Best Actor is Supporting Role). It will definitely be a great ceremony to watch.
The 2012 Oscar presentation will take place Sunday, February 26th, 2012, hosted by Billy Crystal.

The 2012 Golden Globe Awards have finally been announced in the 69th Ceremony that took place last night in Los Angeles.

Happy new year for all of you!
This next 2012 will be certainly an amazing year for us, movie lovers. So far, I'd say that more than 100 films have been announced for 2012. Some of them have already made it to the top in my "must-see" list for the year. So, I chose the 35 most expected film that I DO really want to watch (so far) among all the other great films announced so far. Here's the list:
The Avengers
Synopsis: When an unexpected enemy emerges that threatens global safety and security, Nick Fury, Director of the international peacekeeping agency known as S.H.I.E.L.D., finds himself in need of a team to pull the world back from the brink of disaster. Spanning the globe, a daring recruitment effort begins.

The Hunger Games
Synopsis: Every year in the ruins of what was once North America, the nation of Panem forces each of its twelve districts to send a teenage boy and girl to compete in the Hunger Games. Part twisted entertainment, part government intimidation tactic, the Hunger Games are a nationally televised event in which "Tributes" must fight with one another until one survivor remains. Pitted against highly-trained Tributes who have prepared for these Games their entire lives, Katniss is forced to rely upon her sharp instincts as well as the mentorship of drunken former victor Haymitch Abernathy. If she's ever to return home to District 12, Katniss must make impossible choices in the arena that weigh survival against humanity and life against love.
Battleship
Synopsis: Peter Berg (Hancock) produces and directs Battleship, an epic action-adventure that unfolds across the seas, in the skies and over land as our planet fights for survival against a superior force. Based on Hasbro's classic naval combat game, Battleship stars Taylor Kitsch as Lt. Alex Hopper, a Naval officer assigned to the USS John Paul Jones; Brooklyn Decker as Sam Shane, a physical therapist and Hopper's fiancee; Alexander Skarsgard as Hopper's older brother, Stone, Commanding Officer of the USS Sampson; Rihanna as Petty Officer Raikes, Hopper's crewmate and a weapons specialist on the USS John Paul Jones; and international superstar Liam Neeson as Hopper and Stone's superior (and Sam's father), Admiral Shane.

The Raven
Synopsis: Edgar Allen Poe joins forces with a young Baltimore detective to hunt down a mad serial killer who's using Poe's own works as the basis in a string of brutal murders. When a mother and daughter are found brutally murdered in 19th century Baltimore, Detective Emmett Fields makes a startling discovery: the crime resembles a fictional murder described in gory detail in the local newspaper - part of a collection of stories penned by struggling writer and social pariah Edgar Allan Poe. But even as Poe is questioned by police, another grisly murder occurs, also inspired by a popular Poe story. Realizing a serial killer is on the loose using Poe's writings as the backdrop for his bloody rampage, Fields enlists the author's help in stopping the attacks. But when it appears someone close to Poe may become the murderer's next victim, the stakes become even higher and the inventor of the detective story calls on his own powers of deduction to try to solve the case before it's too late.
John Carter

As soon as Frost is brought in for debriefing, mercenaries come and tear apart Weston's safe house. Barely escaping, the unlikely partners must discover if their attackers have been sent by terrorists or someone on the inside who will kill anyone standing in the way. Now it's up to Weston to figure out who he can trust before they're both eliminated from the game.

But when things go wrong and one of their own is viciously killed, the Expendables are compelled to seek revenge in hostile territory where the odds are stacked against them. Hell-bent on payback, the crew cuts a swath of destruction through opposing forces, wreaking havoc and shutting down an unexpected threat in the nick of time -- six pounds of weapons-grade plutonium; enough to change the balance of power in the world. But that's nothing compared to the justice they serve against the villainous adversary who savagely murdered their brother. That is done the Expendables way....

But a guy who's used to putting his life on the line is about to get more than even he is used to when a routine delivery turns into a life or death chase through the streets of Manhattan. When Wilee picks up his last envelope of the day on a premium rush run, he discovers this package is different. This time, someone is actually trying to kill him.
