MJ GROUP AND KEANU REEVES TALK BOOKS OVER COFFEE
Keanu Reeves popped into MJ’s St John’s Square office for coffee and to commission MJ Group to design, print and bind his limited edition books Side by Side.

Film at the Erie Art Museum's fall series opens Wednesday with "Side by Side" -- not by Sondheim.

This is no musical; it's an illuminating documentary that looks at how the digital revolution is revamping filmmaking. Creating movies via film -- the standard way since moviemaking began in the late 19th century -- is giving way to digital methods that yield super high-definition images, eye-popping 3-D, and faster, easier editing.

But is there a cost? Is film stock warmer, richer, deeper? Technology will roll on, no matter what, but it's fun to hear top filmmakers discuss the pros, cons and 50 shades of grey on the subject.

James Cameron (modernist), Christopher Nolan (film lover), Martin Scorsese (traditionalist but digital embracer) and other heavyweights (Steven Soderberg, David Fincher and more) weigh in.

Keanu Reeves -- star of the groundbreaking "The Matrix" -- produced and narrates "Side by Side." Said the New York Times' A.O. Scott: "For a film geek this movie is absolute heaven, a dream symposium ... It is worth a year of film school and at least 1,000 hours of DVD bonus commentary."

Just love the last paragraph :)

The Academy Of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences revealed the date shift on Tuesday. According to the organization, the Jan. 10 date will "provide members and the public a longer period of time to see the nominated films." It also seemingly strikes a blow against the Golden Globes, which while not often taken seriously as an arbiter of the Academy's taste, certainly had been positioned as one of the many Oscar precursors in the past. The Golden Globes are set to take place on Sunday, Jan. 13, 2013, when the Oscar nominees will already be known.

Below, check out the key dates to keep in mind throughout Oscar season. The 85th annual Academy Awards ceremony will happen on Feb. 24, 2013.

... Reeves' preening????
*rolls eyes*

Film editing IS indeed an important skill, mister. And in SxS it was brilliantly employed. Too bad all you could notice of editing was Reeves' preening.
Unless... nevermind ;)
