Crips and Bloods: Made in America (2008)
Direction: Stacy Peralta
Screenplay: Stacy Peralta and Sam George
Narration: Forest Whitaker
&#160;
 
&#160;

In the 1980s and into the first half of the 1990s, gang violence in American urban centers grabbed nightly news headlines with a distant sensationalism that appears almost quaint in the era of the 24-hour news cycle.  Perhaps because threats emerging beyond the borders of the United States appear more prevalent or maybe because superficial aspects of the thug life entered the pop culture vernacular, gang warfare in cities such as Los Angeles has bled into the background of media chatter in the last fifteen years.  
Crips and Bloods: Made in America reintroduces the conversation into the mainstream.  Director Stacy Peralta [...]]]></description>

2007 BAFTA Scotland Awards
2007 BAFTA Scotland (aka Scottish Bafta) award winners: City Halls in Glasgow on November 18, 2007
(&#34;*&#34; denotes the winner in each category)
&#160;

The Last King of Scotland, an early 2007 release in the United Kingdom, was the big winner at the 2007 BAFTA Scotland awards. Directed by Kevin Macdonald and written by Peter Morgan and Jeremy Brock, the fictional drama revolves around the complex relationship between a Scottish doctor (BAFTA winner James McAvoy) and Uganda dictator Idi Amin Dada (Forest Whitaker). The American Whitaker &#8212; despite having received raves and assorted awards elsewhere earlier in the year (as a 2006 release in the U.S.) &#8212; was deemed ineligible for the Scottish BAFTAs, as the awards are geared to [...]]]></description>

Helen Mirren in The Queen (top); Forest Whitaker in The Last King of England (bottom)

Perhaps there&#8217;s something I&#8217;m missing here, but the Orange British Academy of Film and Television Arts has decided that Kevin Macdonald&#8217;s The Last King of Scotland is the outstanding British film of 2006, coming out ahead of United 93, Notes on a Scandal, Casino Royale, and Stephen Frears&#8216; The Queen. Yet, that very same Orange Academy has picked The Queen as the best film of the year, defeating Little Miss Sunshine, Babel, The Departed, and &#8230; The Last King of Scotland. Go figure.
There were few surprises at the 2007 Bafta ceremony held at London&#8217;s Royal Opera House this evening, unless one considers a Helen Mirren victory [...]]]></description>

  Forest Whitaker in The Last King of Scotland (top); Helen Mirren in The Queen (bottom)

The 2007 SAG Award winners  were announced on Sunday, Jan. 28.
Pretty much everybody that was expected to win won, from Helen Mirren and Forest Whitaker to Helen Mirren and Jeremy Irons. (Mirren I won for The Queen; Mirren II for the TV production Queen Elizabeth I.)
Little Miss Sunshine  was the equally unsurprising best ensemble winner. Following on the heels of its Producers Guild Award victory, the low-budget feel-good comedy of the year is now considered the front-runner for the  2007 Academy Awards. 
The problem with that prediction, however, is that Little Miss Sunshine failed to get a best direction [...]]]></description>

The Departed also (undeservedly) won in the best director, best screenplay, and best supporting actor (Mark Wahlberg) categories, but at least the Boston critics had enough sense to keep Jack Nicholson&#8217;s horrendous caricature (above, [...]]]></description>
