How can a "plane crash shark attack" movie be this sinfully dull? Claudio Fäh's No Way Up swings for the moon with its sunken premise but doesn't fulfill much of the B-Movie potential this fin-slash-disaster flick promises. Writer Andy Mayson transports viewers to the bottom of the sea in an unpredictable fashion, but the vacation nightmare’s swerve into chompy aquatic horror doesn’t blend into storytelling all that well. Fäh and Mayson desperately attempt to make No Way Up more than just an eye-catching poster that sounds hatched from a 30 Rock character's pitch, only to run out of storytelling steam in record time.
Mayson begins with a sparsely booked flight bound for Cabo that suffers catastrophic engine damage caused by a now-mincemeat flock of birds. Shrapnel tears free, piercing the plane's fuselage and blowing a hole wide open that sucks passengers out while the aircraft plummets downward into the Pacific Ocean.

It may be this year’s ‘comfort food’ film but Julian Fellowes’ second theatrical sequel to his revered long-running TV show is quality goods — and may be better than the first one. Almost every actor is back, seemingly pleased as plum puddings to repeat their roles as either landed nobility or downstairs staff. The storyline ties a final bow on some characters and plot lines, and in a far more pleasing way than we thought possible. Even casual fans of the franchise ought to be charmed.

Based on the tepid reception to “A Dog’s Journey” (the sequel to 2017 hit “A Dog’s Purpose”) earlier this summer, the trend of interior-voice canine flicks isn’t necessarily a case of unconditional love with moviegoers. But hopes are now being pinned on “The Art of Racing in the Rain,” the latest adaptation of a “first-person” animal story (this one a 2011 bestseller by Garth Stein), that dog-loving audiences — receptive to the notion that their four-legged companions contain hidden depths of English-language acquisition and philosophical awareness – will be ready once more to fill theaters when presented with family-friendly pet-centric fare.
Don’t let that “Art” in the title fool you, though: This sentimental slog about the relationship between a friendly golden retriever and the growing family of a race car driver is, under director Simon Curtis’ no-nonsense stewardship, about as box-checked and rubber-stamped as mainstream entertainment gets.

I guess I could look at the win last night from the American Cinema Editors (Ace) for The Descendants for Best Editing in a dramatic feature as a sign we may still have an upset at the Oscars, but I think that would be overstepping my bounds. I will, however, say I think it shows The Descendants is a stronger #2 candidate for Best Picture than Hugo is as The Artist remains the clear front-runner in the Best Picture category as it also won last night for Best Editing in a comedy or musical. In the lackluster animation category Rango took the win over Puss in Boots and The Adventures of Tintin where, I guess, we could have seen Tintin win, but I'm having a hard time mustering up any kind of passion one way or another to really care. The Ace winners are listed below along with the other nominees.

Like every entertainment guild or union there is an awards show to recognize the year’s best in narrative film, documentary, and television. We’ve already seen various guilds nominate the best in producing, directing, and writing, now we have the Eddie Awards from the American Cinema Editors (Ace). There aren’t any big surprises on this list, The Descendants, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, Hugo, and Young Adult all made the list.
But looking at the list below, I noticed that the guild has separated the movies into their own categories; so that one movie genre isn’t overlooked.
You can read the full press release and list of nominees below:

Each year American Cinema Editors [1] (Ace) recognizes the best editing of the year in narrative film, documentary and television through the Eddie Awards. The nominations for achievement in 2011 have been released [2]. They include a couple of expected films such as Hugo and The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo, and feature a couple other inclusions that might count as surprises to some. The full list is below. This list comes from the Ace press release about this year's Eddies. In this case, I like that there are feature film categories for dramatic and comedy/musical efforts; not that editing one or the other is more difficult, but editing is such a core component of comedy and musical films, and one that so often goes unheralded and even unexamined, that it deserves a moment in the sun. Looking at the documentary selections, I was at first disappointed not to see Senna included,...

The editors have spoken. Though editing is an artform that greatly fascinates me I nearly always take issue with the Ace nominations. More than most craftsmen, the editors in the guild and in Oscar's editing branch seem to just pick their favorite Best Picture contenders every year even in cases where the editing might not be anywhere close to its strongest element. I understand why people love Hugo for example -- I really do despite my protestations -- but even though I think Thelma Schoonmaker is one of the most gifted editors who ever walked the earth, her work on Hugo is not up to her general (very high) standards. I've discussed this with Nick several times so I know I wasn't imagining it. We were both flabbergasted at the amount of shot / reverse shots where the children just sort of stare at each other blankly in scene after scene.

The 62nd annual Ace Eddie Awards have announced their nominees this year for the best in editing. Last year, The Social Network team of Angus Wall and Kirk Baxter rightfully won the top award, while Exit Through the Gift Shop picked it up for documentary. Out of the noms below, I’d love to see Thelma Schoonmaker pick it up for Hugo, mostly due to the last third of the film or Kevin Tent’s fitting relaxed tone on The Descendants. As for Moneyball and War Horse, outside of some well put-together sequences, both felt overlong and thus undeserving of the award. Same goes for Werner Herzog‘s Cave of Forgotten Dreams, whereas David Tedeschi’s George Harrison: Living in the Material World runs almost four hours and has excellent pacing. Check out all the noms below.
Best Edited Feature Film (Dramatic):
The Descendants

Photo: Columbia Pictures Best Film Editing is quite the important category when it comes to predicting the Best Picture winner (read more about why right here) and the American Cinema Editors' Ace Eddie Awards are a good way to begin evaluating the category and today they announced their 2012 nominees and there are certainly some things to discuss. In 2006-2008, before the Academy began nominating ten films for Best Picture, only three films -- The Reader (2008), Atonement (2007) and Letters from Iwo Jima (2006) -- were nominated for Best Picture that were not nominated by the American Cinema Editors. When the Academy bumped it up to ten nominees over the last two years only three films each year missed the cut, which is saying something considering only 13 films are nominated in three different categories each year. So what will this year's crop of contenders tell us?...

hollywoodnews.com: The American Cinema Editors announced their nominations for the 62nd Annual Ace Eddie Awards Monday morning, recognizing outstanding editing in nine categories of film, television and documentaries.
Like the Golden Globes, the editors divide their films between “Dramatic” and “Comedic” categories, so its tough to peg how (or if) they play into the five Oscar nomination slots. At the very least, you can guess that the Academy’s five nominees will come from the five features listed below.
Winners will be revealed during Ace’s 62nd annual black-tie awards ceremony on Saturday, February 18, 2012 in the International Ballroom of the Beverly Hilton Hotel. As previously announced, the ceremony will be hosted by actor/comedian Patton Oswalt. Later this month Ace will announce the Golden Eddie Filmmaker of the Year honoree and two Career Achievement honorees.
