Hot off the Academy Awards celebration that took place just last night in Hollywood, we’ve got a couple of big releases to talk about this week in home video. The first of these is director Jason Reitman’s third feature film, the Best Picture nominated Up in the Air; it didn’t take home any awards, but it was one of the most highly regarded films of the year. And then there’s Precious, which did in fact take home two Oscars, but which was probably seen by far fewer people. After that, the pickings are slim, but we’ve managed to weed out…

The Hurt Locker cleaned up on Oscar night, taking home six trophies, including Best Director for Kathryn Bigelow (the first woman to win the award) and Best Picture. The Academy has spoken — but what do the critics have to say? Where does The Hurt Locker rank with the pundits among the Best Picture winners?

Very highly, it turns out. At 97 percent, The Hurt Locker is the 13th best-reviewed Best Picture of all time — one slot below Gone With the Wind and one above Casablanca (we’re shocked — shocked! — at that fact as well). It’s also the…

The Hurt Locker wins big with wins for director Kathryn Bigelow and Best Picture honors. The night also saw Oscars go to Hollywood veterans Sandra Bullock and Jeff Bridges. See the full list of Oscar winners below! And thank you to everyone who participated in our first ever Facebook chat and kept us company on Twitter!

This weekend audiences could not resist the latest offering from director Tim Burton and actor Johnny Depp as the 3D extravaganza Alice in Wonderland exploded on the scene with a record-shattering opening weekend leaving its nearest competitor more than $100M behind. The big-budget Disney film debuted to a gargantuan $116.3M over the Friday-to-Sunday span, according to estimates, smashing box office records left and right. It was the biggest March opening ever soaring past the $70.9M of 300 from 2007 and the best debut for a 3D film beating the $77M of Avatar from last December.

“Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen” and “Land of the Lost” are tied for the most Razzie Award nominations, scoring seven chances each to take gold paint-sprayed statuettes hailing the worst films of 2009.

The most prestigious awards for independent film have just been announced! With days to go before the Oscars, Precious took home the night’s biggest honors, along with fellow Oscar nominees Woody Harrelson, Jeff Bridges, and An Education. See the full winners list below!

Edgar Hoover.

Picture Gallery of the Week: Survival of the Dead
Diary of the Dead was unwatchable, so I don’t have the highest hopes for Georgie boy’s next flick, Survival of the Dead. His explorations on rehabilitating zombies can be somewhat interesting, but he’s been doing this for decades now, and with diminishing returns. Considering the last 10 years…
