Lifetime Achievement Award
Ennio Morricone
http://userserve-ak.last.fm/serve/_/9254923/Ennio+Morricone.jpgOne of the greatest composers to have ever worked, Morricone contributed countless classic Spaghetti Western scores in the 1960s. He also did great work outside that genre for decades to come such as in Gillo Pontecorvo's classic 1966 film The Battle of Algiers, Terrence Malick's 1978 film Days of Heaven and John Carpenter's 1982 creature feature The Thing. For his essential and inimitable contribution to the art of film, I proudly present Mr. Morricone with a lifetime achievement Drew.

We Have to Talk About Kevin (Jack's Review)

Tilda Swinton's performance is amazing. She can convey complex emotion and evoke oceans of empathy with subtle glances and the manner in which she carries herself. The filmmaker effectively uses flashbacks to make the construction of the storytelling quite compelling. There was a major flaw however, in the flashbacks to the early years. The director inexplicably left out the scene where the rogue Italian priest switches Tilda's baby in the hospital for the one whose real mother was a possessed dog. At least the John C. Reilly character met his just reward as is tradition for such obviously clueless characters in the horror genre.
