BEST MUSIC 2011: Michel Hazanavicius's Best Picture-winning tribute to silent films of yore, THE ARTIST, could not have succeeded without the kind of score that, as they did back in the way, provided the language that the pre-sound era could not. The expertise with which LUDOVIC BOURCE accomplished this task easily earned him an Oscar for his work (and hopefully no one noticed that a pivotal moment of the film is actually scored not by Bource but by a selection from Bernard Herrmann's score for Vertigo). The song selection was so paltry for the Academy's taste that year that only two pieces were nominated, one from the delightful animated film Rio (co-written by no less than Sergio Mendes) and the winner, Flight of the Conchords star BRET McKENZIE winning for "MAN OR MUPPET" from the film that brought those loveable rascals back to the big screen, conveniently titled THE MUPPETS. Personally I found all the songs in the movie tuneless, but this many years later it's at least a comforting reminder that Jason Segel is finally over.

"I'm sure there are people who think I'm a bitch, but all I do is strive for perfection. I expect others to work as hard as me, but I'm not demanding to an unreasonable point." - Demi Moore, born November 11, 1962. #DemiMoore

"People want you to be a crazy, out-of-control teen brat. They want you miserable, just like them. They don't want heroes; what they want is to see you fall." - Leonardo DiCaprio, born November 11, 1974. #LeonardoDiCaprio

Today's review on MyOldAddiction.com, Gemini Man by #AngLee starring #WillSmith, "it would be a lot easier to take how shallow it is if it were aware of it"
