Welcome!

Hello everyone, and welcome to 111 Archer Avenue. What started as a film review blog has become my online judgment forum. I will review the occasional movie or DVD, post an interesting trailer, critique a newly-read book, talk about sports, and share my thoughts and opinions on random issues. You can also follow me on Twitter (@OlieCoen) or check out my work on DVDTalk.com. Thank you and enjoy!

Thought - Oscar Predictions


Of course it's too early to make Oscar predictions; the nominees are months away from being announced.  Some of what may be the best films of the year haven't even come out yet.  But that doesn't mean we can't talk about it anyway and make guesses based on almost nothing.  At the very least, here is a list of movies that deserve a watch, as they might be in the Oscar conversation soon.

This is the Indiewire.com ranking of top possible Academy Award contenders:

  1. 12 Years a Slave
  2. Gravity
  3. Inside Llewyn Davis
  4. Rush
  5. August: Osage County
  6. Saving Mr. Banks
  7. American Hustle
  8. The Wolf of Wall Street
  9. The Monuments Men
  10. Captain Phillips
  11. The Butler
  12. Blue Jasmine
  13. Nebraska
  14. Fruitvale Station
  15. All Is Lost
  16. Prisoners
