Awards Profile: The Simpsons Movie



I won't really go into much detail, considering this film's limited Oscar chances, but I can tell you that it will most certainly be nominated for Best Animated Feature (and hopefully win). It was expectedly funny and never dragged. It featured an abundance of jokes one would imagine the people behind the TV show would produce. Tom Hanks has a brief moment in the middle of the film too. Political jokes were everywhere and some very subtle sexual humor would amuse only the quick of mind. For example, the relationship between Flanders and Bart is somewhat pedophilic and I was half-expecting Chris Hansen to burst into one of the scenes. Homer almost dabbled in beastiality with Spider Pig/Harry Plopper. The only negative part about the film was the fact that Mr. Burns and Smithers, two of the most popular characters, were reduced to cameos totaling less than a minute in screentime.

Next: The Bourne Ultimatum

I haven't seen it, but do you think it could beat the critical darling Ratatouille?

I really liked it. The movie even seemed better with The Dark Knight teaser trailer attached :)
