The summer movie season is wrapping up, which can mean only one thing: fall movie season! Usually lthis means that summer's blockbusters give way to the studio's grand hopes for Oscar nominations. But this year? Maybe not so much, or so says Media Critic Tom Maurstad: Traditionally, summer was the hot season of big movies, full of action and special effects, while fall was the cool season of small movies, full of stars and award-winning acting and filmmaking. But this looks like the year that Indian summer hits Hollywood, turning fall into a second summer of big, noisy films. Read the rest of what Tom has to say here, then check out his top 10 picks for the season. Not enough? That's okay; we've got the whole season staked out for you. So now tell us: Which films are you looking forward to? The Coen Brothers return with Burn After Reading? Finding out just what a Quantum of Solace is? Wondering if Twilight will be just as angst-ridden as Stephanie Meyer's book? Let's talk movies! |

I'm looking forward to Australia with Nicole Kidman and Hugh Jackman. It promises romance, drama, and gorgeous cinematography.

Harry Potter! Oh, wait.
My top 5:
1) The Brothers Bloom (which might not end up in Dallas 'til early '09)
2) The Curious Case of Benjamin Button
3) Burn After Reading
4) W.
5) Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist

Each month leading up to the Oscar nominations, starting around this time of year, I poll Oscar voters to get their current thoughts. Only one of the top 5 finishers (Australia) on the best picture list of the poll made your list. The leading vote getter was "Milk," followed by "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button," "Australia," "Defiance" and "Frost/Nixon."
