I have to say, it's fairly amusing to look back on my last post before the summer began. "Gravity" and "The Great Gatsby" are not coming out until 2013 and "The Hunger Games" turned into one of the most successful blockbusters of the year. Jennifer Lawrence remains as relevant a topic as ever though, with incredible reviews coming out of the Toronto International Film Festival for "Silver Linings Playbook" and Oscar buzz swirling around her performance. I'm sure her success with "The Hunger Games", (which I quite enjoyed), will only help her as she gears up for another awards season from the sound of things in Toronto.
The Telluride Film Festival and Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) have given critics and lucky audiences lots to talk about, and the rest of us wait eagerly to get the chance to see the films when they make way their way to us over the coming weeks. Although I was quiet on the blog for the summer, I'm excited to get back to discussing what I believe will be a great year at the movies. Film remains one of my greatest passions and I hope to use this space as an area to voice excitement and discussion over new fall film discoveries and awards season. Call me crazy but I find the whole thing a blast. Sure, awards season is full of politics and lots of strange, even unfair choices at times, but this is the game I signed up for. I know what I'm getting into. I will be back tomorrow with more thoughts on what lies ahead, as well as a few summer films that jumped out to me.
