  • Green Book (2018)
    Dec 12 2025

    Green Book (2018) at first glance seems like a twist ... a retelling of another Best Picture winner ... Driving Miss Daisy. It's not. This movie is mostly about the connection between two men from different worlds who learn to understand each other during a road trip. It's a very entertaining film ... but looking back, did the Academy get it right and award the right film the top award at the Oscars

  • Cimarron (1931)
    Nov 21 2025

    There are many classics that went on to take home the top prize at the Oscars. And there are those that, well ... let's just say that we still shake our heads why certain films got on the Academy voters' good graces in such a way that they were chosen as Best Picture of that year. At the fourth Academy Awards ceremony, Cimarron was selected as the best film. However, after almost a century later the question isn't really if it deserved it, the question is "how could that have happened?" Well, this Wesley Ruggles epic does have the scope and the stars to at least attempt to justify its win. The writing, technical aspects, and the acting say otherwise.

    Listen to film critic Jack Ferdman's take on it as he evaluates everything that has to do with Cimarron, as well as many other films from that year, and hear which film he gives his Rewatch Oscar of 1930.

The performance of Paul Scofield as Sir Thomas More is nothing short of brilliant. And with an incredibly written and thoughtfully paced script, as well as perfect direction by Fred Zinnemann, make this movie truly special.
