Deadine’s Pete Hammond takes a long look at the awards potential for just-released “Brave,” which had a very good (if not great) opening weekend and received very good (if not great) critical reviews and (yes) great audience reviews.
Will “Brave” restart Pixar’s previous remarkable string of nominations for Oscar’s Best Animated Feature? Hammond looks at whether the film hits a bullseye, with interviews of the film’s co-director and producer.

Meanwhile, over in specialty film land, Woody Allen found lots in “Rome” to love, and so did his fans in the veteran auteur’s latest release. Check out both stories for more detail on a solid weekend at the movie theater.
