The Filmosophers Movie Talk

Oscar photoFairfield First! publisher, filmmaker and entrepreneur Burt Chojnowski will join Bruce in the KRUU studio Friday. The movie awards season culminates Sunday evening with the presentation of the Oscars. We'll talk about the event and make our predictions. Chris Busch is in New York and we hope he gets us his picks. ("Picks"? Sounds like March Madness to me...) We're excited to inform you The King's Speech opens at the Co-Ed Theatre in Fairfield Friday. It has been my pick for the Best Picture Oscar for several weeks. If you haven't seen it, now's an excellent opportunity. If you enjoyed it once, I suggest it's even better the second time. The emotional connection flows more freely and the now familiar path these characters take is even more rewarding.

The primary Best Picture competition is The Social Network.  This excellent film is available on DVD. So you can make your own comparisons. What a delight for film fans! It's all good and it doesn't really matter anyhow. (click Read More to continue)

Frieda PintoThe year of Slumdog Millionaire in the movie world is a Filmosopher delight. An expression of enlightening awareness.

A boy's epic journey of faith in Love, set among the unlikeliest of places. A swirling vortex of color, music and movement, blended into an exhilarating experience by the brilliant Danny Boyle. Did you see it coming with Trainspotting?

Superstar Big Al Green will join us and surely wax eloquently about his Slumdog Millionaire experience.

We'll also talk about the Oscars and last Sunday's show. (Hint- we loved it!)

It's the Filmosophers, with co-hosts Chris Busch and Bruce Miller, where we give our filmosophy on the movies and have filmosophical discussions.
