'The Avengers' and 'Silver Linings Playbook' win big at the MTV Movie Awards
Posted by Kristopher Tapley · 8:36 pm · April 14th, 2013
The most interesting takeaway of tonight’s MTV Movie Awards wasn’t necessarily that “The Avengers” predictably scooped up the prize for Movie of the Year. (Though, I say predictably, but I’m clearly garbage at guessing these things.) No, more interesting was that the MTV crowd gobbled up David O. Russell’s “Silver Linings Playbook” with a spoon, handing the film three awards of its own on the evening. Add that to its awards season tally and eight Oscar nominations and you’re talking about one wide-ranging crossover hit. A pity, then, that star Jennifer Lawrence wasn’t on hand to share in the spoils (and pick up her own pair of popcorn trophies).

A look back at 1993 and the second annual MTV Movie Awards
Posted by Kristopher Tapley · 9:02 am · April 14th, 2013
Last year I used the occasion of the 21st annual MTV Movie Awards as an excuse to go back in time to the day-glo, New Jack Swing days of 1992 to look at the network’s first stab at recognizing the “best” in filmed entertainment. This year, I figured why not keep it going as the 22nd annual gears up for this evening? Let’s step back in the time machine and zip back to the pop culturally nebulous days of 1993 and the second annual MTV Movie Awards show.

On Roger Ebert and Terrence Malick
Posted by Kristopher Tapley · 12:40 pm · April 10th, 2013
It is somehow fitting that the last word Roger Ebert would ever have on the movies concerned filmmaker Terrence Malick, whose sixth feature, “To the Wonder,” opens in theaters this weekend. Ebert has always been in awe of Malick, his reviews of the director’s films consistently revealing a tone of appreciation. And it all came to an apex last year when Ebert chalked up Malick’s “The Tree of Life” on his list of the 10 greatest films of all time for the decennial Sight & Sound poll of critics and filmmakers.
