Every Monday With A Little Help From Our Friends dedicates time highlighting the best pieces of writing on film and television published around the Internet.
For your reading enjoyment …
I imagine just about everyone reading this article watched the 85th Academy Awards last night. As with every year, the show ran too long, the jokes a bit too irreverent, and yes, too many undeserved winners (Ang Lee, really?). Here’s a full roundup of the wild night – winners, commentary, merriment, and more.
Downright hilarious piece over at Film.com entitled AMC’s 24-Hour Best Picture Marathon: A Survivor’s Diary.
The unrated version of William Friedkin’s Killer Joe was released a couple of weeks ago. Check out the this detailed review.
Swedish blogger Jessica pens an engaging piece on a recurring motif in cinema throughout 2012: aging.
I’m shocked. Just shocked that Atlas Shrugged: Part 2: The Strike is awful.
Despite Eugene Novikov being continuously wrong when it comes to movies, his writing and blog is worth actively reading.
The 2012/13 Oscar awards may be over, but these creative and original posters of the nominated films are timeless.
It’s always nice discovering new nifty websites. This week it’s a Toronto-based publication, Dork Shelf.
For a moment now I’d like everybody to calm down, breathe in/breathe out, and simply appreciate Emily Blunt.
Lastly, check out EW’s interview with the vivacious and rebellious Lena Dunham.

Thank you for the link! Glad you are a fellow Emily fan 🙂
Thank you so very much! I’ve been a lousy friend recently, not commenting as much as I’d like to on your or other people’s blogs. I’ve barely had time to write any posts for myself either. But I follow you closely and I will come back. *Hugs*
There was an unrated version of Killer Joe?!
The Oscars made me realize that there are a ton of movies that I didn’t see in theaters. I’ve noticed that with my new position at DISH, I haven’t had the time to go out and see a movie. Since I do enjoy calm nights at home, I’ve been putting a lot of work into my Blockbuster @Home queue. I have it set up through DISH, and I was able to add all of the Oscar nominees and winners to my queue. They have over 15,000 titles so I’ve had no problems finding even the more obscure movies like Beasts of the Southern Wild.
