It’s an Oscar complaint as unfailingly annual as telecast overlength and foreign-language category blunders: with the season so geared towards the glut of prestige titles released in the year’s final quarter, standout contenders from the mist-shrouded months of spring and the previous winter have to fight that much harder to be heard – that is, […]

SUNDAY CENTS: Win for ‘Shutter,’ new films stutter
Posted by Chad Hartigan · 12:22 pm · February 28th, 2010
