Mandy Moore has released a two-track holiday single featuring a new tune, “How Could This Be Christmas?” and a take on the classic, “It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year.”
Moore co-wrote “How Could This Be Christmas?” with husband Taylor Goldsmith of Dawes and producer Mike Viola. It’s a tender, country-tinged tune perfect for that lonesome-during-the-holidays vibe, with Moore singing, “Somehow I’m putting on a record/For you, I’m wrapping up a present/For you, are at the top of my wishlist/How could this be Christmas without you?...

American Cinema Editors (Ace) today announced nominations for the 65th Annual Ace Eddie Awards recognizing outstanding editing in ten categories of film, television and documentaries. Winners will be revealed during Ace’s annual black-tie awards ceremony on Friday, January 30, 2015 in the International Ballroom of the Beverly Hilton Hotel. Next week Ace will announce the Golden Eddie Filmmaker of the Year honoree and two Career Achievement honorees.
For only the second time in the organization’s history, a tie resulted in an additional nominee in the Best Edited Feature Film (Dramatic) category creating six nominees, instead of five, indicating a tie in the number of votes for the fifth placing films.

The American Cinema Editors have taken the time when most of us are still enjoying a little bit of downtime before truly getting back into the swing of things this new year to announce the film and television nominees for the 65th Annual Ace Eddie Awards. Among the nominees are a couple of personal favorites in Whiplash (Tom Cross) and The Imitation Game (William Goldbenbrrg). I also think something must be said for Boyhood, though editing a film over the course of 12 years doesn't really leave much wiggle room. You're essentially editing 12 short films because once you're a year removed... you're a year removed. There are six nominees in the Best Edited Feature Film (Dramatic) category as a result of a tie providing for one additional nominee for the second time ever. Among the comedy/musical nominees I would like to believe The Grand Budapest Hotel (Barney Pilling) would be the front-runner,...

The movie that stitched 12 years of footage into a single narrative, “Boyhood,” has been nominated by the American Cinema Editors as the best-edited dramatic feature of 2014, Ace announced on Friday.
Other nominees for the top dramatic film honor at the awards known as the Ace/Eddies are “American Sniper,” “Gone Girl,” “The Imitation Game,” “Nightcrawler” and “Whiplash.” The category had six nominees instead of five because of a tie.

If you were looking for things to be shaken up a little bit in this year's Oscar race, the American Cinema Editors (Ace) offered a slight jolt Friday with the organization's 65th annual list of nominees for film editing. And if you were wondering if "Nightcrawler" might make a serious play on the circuit, well… I will say I was wondering that. So much so that I had a piece prepped focusing on its potential before today's announcement, which included the film in a dramatic feature category that featured a tie for the first time ever. (The animated field saw a tie yielding four nominees in 2012, while "Babel" and "The Departed" actually tied for the dramatic win in 2006, but there hasn't been a tie leading to an extra nominee in the dramatic or comedy/musical categories before.) Powerhouse Oscar players "Boyhood" and "The Imitation Game" unsurprisingly joined the party, and ditto Sundance hit "Whiplash.

PARK CITY, Utah -- "George B" is grade D filmmaking, a muddle of a movie about an innocent trying to make it in today's world. With conflicting tones, outlandish acting and poorly developed characters, this competition entrant at the Sundance Film Festival is, perhaps, indicative of the overall quality of the independent drama offered in this year's fest.
We first meet George David Morse) as he carries flowers, and then, slam-bang, he's beaten up and left in a women's bathroom. Undaunted, George Still retains an even temper. A part-time cleanup guy in a tavern, George has loftier ambitions. Evidently he's got some sort of system, for he quickly high-tails it to Reno, Nev., where he wins a bundle, returning to pay cash for two months' arrears on his mortgage, plus an advance month thrown in. Indeed, for bar help, George lives in a huge, white, columned manse that would incline one, say if one were a law-enforcement officer, to suspect nefarious sources of income.
While George seems adroit financially, he's woefully naive in love. He has eyes for a cheap sales girl (Nina Siemaszko), who is transparently manipulative. George is just as fast and tacky on the romantic front as he is on the financial front -- almost immediately the two copulate on a bridge. It's not a tender moment. Indeed, screenwriter-director Eric Lea's story gyrations and tonal upheavals are completely disruptive throughout. Although one feels a theme creaking through the seamier vents in this story line -- someone who tries to always be happy will be defeated by the big, bad world -- there is no consistent aesthetic at work here. He carries flowers and speaks in an even range, ergo, he's some sort of saint among us.
Central to the film's slack handle on developing anything beyond a superficial thrust is the character of George himself. He is generally articulate, highly verbal and not at all disconnected from the real world, except for the fact that he's somewhat overly trusting (welcome to the club). That he's slow to anger is his most distinguishing personality trait.
But George is no wise simpleton. He's more like one of those docile men let out of prison in the old movies who return to society by functioning quietly at a lousy job. In essence, he's unevenly fleshed out, indicative of the shallow writing. Supporting characters are similarly crudely drawn, including: a hapless security guard, a French-sounding bartender, an angry bar patron, etc. And, in Lea's atonal dialogue, high-pitched shouting or some other over-the-top hysterics invariably erupts almost immediately. The sorriest scenes, provoking unintentional laughter at the screening here, were uttered by the sales girl's mother character, a faux Lauren Bacall who snaps, glowers and rumbles like a "Saturday Night Live" takeoff.
George also dresses funny for a wise simpleton: Unlike, say Forrest Gump or Rain Man, he's a fashion king in his understated line of Gap-ish tones and quietly elegant coats. In short, technical contributions, not surprisingly, often ring false and are inconsistent. Charitably put, one could describe the film as "Lynchean", but, alas, the general awful shallowness of the realization precludes that optimistic assessment.
Through it all, there is one shining light, the luminously sharp cinematography of Wayne Kennan.
