The Business of Film: Mean Girls, Poor Things, The Holdovers, The Beekeeper, The Boys in the Boat & the Oscars
In a bumper box office week, James Cameron-Wilson finds the musical reboot of 2004's Mean Girls (#1), dull and lacking fizz, despite Tina Fey's script. Like Simon Rose, he adores Poor Things (#3) from The Favourite director Yorgos Lanthimos, with Emma Stone getting one of 11 Oscar nominations. It's odd, extraordinarily original and visually and aurally glorious. Simon praised The Holdovers, with Paul Giamatti one of 5 nominees, at #6 from Sideways director. #7 is so-bad-it's-good thriller The Beekeeper with Jason Statham, while George Clooney's The Boys In The Boat has sunk to #14. A true Depression-era sporting tale, Simon and James both loved it. James also gave a round-up of the Oscar nominations and who he expects to triumph on the night.
