| Toy Story 3, Social Network top film review list Posted: 04 Jan 2011 01:11 AM PST 
They are two movies that figure in Hollywood' s Oscar race, and there is good reason why. "Toy Story 3" and "The Social Network" are the best-reviewed films of the year, according to website Rotten Tomatoes. As 2010 draws to an end, members of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, who received their Oscar nomination ballots this week, will be looking at which movies earned the most stars from critics, and Rotten Tomatoes provides answers. The website (www.rottentomatoes.com) compiles reviews, scores them, and offers readers a way to separate the good from the bad and the just plain rotten. Judging by their Tomatometer index, Buzz, Woody and all the toys from the Disney/Pixar animated film "Toy Story 3" rank No. 1 with critics, scoring a 99 percent "fresh" rating based on an average from 247 reviews. Facebook film "The Social Network" is not far behind with a 97 percent positive average from 258 reviews, but Rotten Tomatoes editor-in-chief Matt Atchity said that with a few days left in 2010, more critiques for the October release could possibly come in and tilt the balance. "If five or six more positive reviews came in, it could change that. But what I can tell you is that it' s down to those two movies," Atchity told Reuters when poring over the list of seeking the moniker, "best- reviewed film" of 2010. "Toy Story 3" was released in June, and all its reviews have been read and scored. Atchity gave an outside chance to another Oscar hopeful, western "True Grit," saying that if "another few dozen reviews" came in and were all positive, it could be in contention. Currently "True Grit," which premiered only a week ago, scores a 95 percent positive rating from a compilation of some 167 reviews, and is just behind November drama "The King' s Speech" with 96 percent from some 142 reviews saying it was a good choice at movie theaters. For reviews that are mixed — not easily deemed good or bad — Atchity and senior editor Tim Ryan said they sometimes contact the critics to discuss whether that reviewer was positive or negative toward a film. Atchity said that in the past, generally speaking, there has been a good correlation between the best-reviewed films of the year and Academy Award nominees. "Reviewers and academy members are both made up of film professionals, and they both know good films," he said. Academy members give out nominations on January 25, and award winners will be named at a ceremony on February 27. Meanwhile, the question of which movies are the best-reviewed begs the opposite of what titles were the most rotten. Atchity and Ryan said they had not perused final numbers yet, but a quick look at the site shows little-known title "Vampires Suck" with only three positives from a total 71 reviews for a 4 percent rotten rating. They are not alone, big-time Hollywood studio production "The Last Airbender" from "Sixth Sense" director M. Night Shyamalan scored a mere 6 percent positive ranking. >>Source: Reuters |

| World Cup Cricket Ticket sale starts amid chaos Posted: 03 Jan 2011 05:39 AM PST 
Sales of tickets for ICC Cricket World Cup 2011 went chaotic at some points in the capital and Barisal on the first day as enthusiasts, who had waited since early Sunday morning, staged violent demonstrations because of the scarcity of the much coveted tickets. Enraged cricket lovers put up barricade on roads in Mirpur and vandalised motor vehicles. Police charged truncheons to control the situation that left at least 30 people, including two journalists, injured. The injured journalists are Farid Ahmed of the daily Kaler Kantha and Minhaj Uddin Khan of daily sun. Sales of tickets kicked off at 10:00am at 50 branches of City Bank and 30 branches of Agrani Bank across the country. As dawn broke on Sunday, thousands of cricket fans, male and female, thronged different outlets of the two banks and stood in long queues. Jamal Hossain and Dilara Hasan Popy, a couple from Pallabi, were the first lucky persons to have got the precious tickets for the cricket world cup that kicks off 19 February. They had queued in front of the Mirpur-1 branch of the City Bank since Saturday evening. But the tickets sold out fast. And most of the people in queues were not as lucky as the Jamal-Dilara couple. Frustrated by their bad luck and enraged by the scarcity of tickets, cricket fans started demonstration in front of the outlets. Witnesses said a large number of ticket seekers were seen queuing up in Mirpur, the lines snaking out along the main roads and going totally out of control within two hours. The law enforcers confirmed that at least one public bus was vandalised during the chaos. Police deployed in and around the area charged truncheons to bring the situation under control. Police had to charge truncheons in Banani area too as queued up cricket lovers went violent, sources said. Hundreds of fans queued up in front of the six designated branches of the two banks in Chittagong for over 24 hours, reports our correspondent there. However, most of them had to return empty-handed and with a broken heart as the sale stopped for the day long before their turn came. In Barisal, heavy rush for the tickets at a local branch of City Bank seriously disrupted regular bank activities and traffic. Law enforcers had to step in to discipline ticket buyers, reports our correspondent in the district. |
