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 Preview


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. Boyhood
  2. Birdman
  3. The Imitation Game
  4. Gone Girl
  5. Unbroken
  6. Interstellar
  7. American Sniper
  8. Selma
  9. The Theory of Everything
  10. Foxcatcher
  11. Mr. Turner
  12. Whiplash
  13. The Grand Budapest Hotel
  14. Wild
  15. A Most Violent Year
  16. Into the Woods
  17. Big Eyes
  18. The Gambler
  19. Fury
