Extremely Loud & Purely Emotional.

02.27.2012 – Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close is one of the Academy Awards films having nominated for Best Picture and Best Supporting Actor with Max von Sydow. Anyone who caught up with the Oscar’s this morning was something good to watch out the regular local material that’s been declining lately. The movie had its special promotional screening last Wednesday at SM Megamall courtesy of Warner Bros. Pictures and The Best Music on the Planet 99.5RT. The film had its first limited screening on January 20, 2012 in North America with fairly mixed reviews but definitely it the emotional up.

Anticipating Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close!

02.23.2012 – Finally! Another movie to watch and my Academy Award bet is “Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close” which stars Tom Hanks, Sandra Bullock and featuring Thomas Horn as the young Oskar Schell. There’s another talented individual in this film which is Max von Sydow a nominee for the Academy Award for a supporting role. I have seen the movie trailer many times and had read the press materials that made me curious about this film. So far the Academy Award caliber films I’ve seen so far are J. Edgar and The Descendants which made me look forward to Extremely Loud. There’s something about this film that I can’t ignore among the previous films I’ve seen.

Max Von Sydow an Academy Award Nominee in Extremely Loud!

02.22.2012 – Max von Sydow is a French-Swedish actor and he gives chills to my spin when I first saw him appear in the trailer of the upcoming film of Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close. I have not heard about him generally but he looms big in other critically acclaimed films that get featured in film festivals. I'm a regular screen buff but not that hardcore to see “Hanna and Her Sister” or “Lassefar in Pelle the Conqueror” in which he received his first Academy Award nomination. In 2012, he gets a nomination for the second time in a supporting role for Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close.
