The Hurt Locker is picking up critical momentum as Hollywood heads into Academy Awards season. After nabbing the "best film" prize from the LA Film Critics Association, director Kathryn Bigelow's taut Iraq war drama has been named best film by the New York Film Critics Circle, which also declared Bigelow best director. The NYFCC voted George Clooney best actor for Up in the Air and Fantastic Mr. Fox, Meryl Streep won best actress for Julie & Julia, Christoph Waltz got best supporting actor for Inglourious Basterds, and Mo'Nique picked up best supporting actress for her widely-acclaimed performance in Precious. But nowhere on this list is our favorite film of '09, the Coen brothers' A Serious Man, which was also snubbed by LA critics.

There is bad, if unsurprising, news for moviegoers who routinely stuff their faces with incessant handfuls of popcorn: Not only does your maddening snack rustling ruin the delicate movie magic, but you're making yourself morbidly obese and prone to heart disease, too. Lab tests conducted by the Center for Science in the Public Interest have determined that popcorn at the major movie chains has way more calories than cud-chewing plebes are led to believe. For cinema snack-hounds, these lab results are more horrifying than The Ghosts of Girlfriends Past:

How many helicopter scenes are in this movie anyway? WCBS is reporting that there will be yet another two days of low-flying helicopters over Manhattan — both today and tomorrow from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. This time around the locations include midtown, Wall Street, and the George Washington, Manhattan and Verrazano bridges. See Matt Damon's stunt double dangling from a chopper over the East River? You know where to send your pics.

Now that we solved that whole tax credit deficit problem, there's a new worry for the filmmakers who want to point their lens at New York City. Crain's reports that "the latest shock to the industry is a plan by the city to charge the largest fees in the nation for filming in its buildings [$3,200/day]. The Mayor's film office is also drawing up plans to charge for its famous free permits. Even more troubling, the city's tax incentive program is out of money and in the process of being scaled back, and the state is in negotiations over whether to renew its tax incentives." Well, that's an exhausting list.

We've been thoroughly enjoying Max Silvestri's rants and commentary over at the AV Club, and in his latest piece he takes on Regal Cinemas. The young lad is living the dream out in Williamsburg, just one 11 minute train ride from Union Square... and as such, from Regal Cinemas on Broadway and 13th. But before your face turns green with jealousy, Silvestri says:

No one panic! The helicopters Hollywood sent in last week are back in the Manhattan airspace today. ABC alerts that "between the hours of 8 a.m. and 5 p.m., there will be movie filming in New York City. As a result, there will be low-flying helicopters over Manhattan. The helicopters will be in the vicinity of the Empire State building, Chrysler Building and Central Park by the reservoir." UPDATE: The copters today are for a commercial. That's one big budget commercial!

Surely this Halloween will bring every era of Michael Jackson back to life in costume form, but this Long Island City local has put up a scarecrow tribute to the late performer. Apparently he wears two gloves in the afterlife!

If you rise and shine to the sights and sounds of helicopters darting over Manhattan tomorrow: don't fret. We just got word that "a movie shoot will be taking place in the vicinity of 12th Avenue and 23rd Street in Manhattan from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m." and you should "expect to see filming activity in the area including helicopters making sharp turns and maneuvers." If only Air Force One gave this kind of warning. Send us photos if you see the action; and try to figure out which one of these movies currently filming here it might be... perhaps the mysterious Untitled!

For whatever reason, Vice Magazine is totally in bed with director Spike Jonze, and last night they invited some people to an advance screening of Where the Wild Things Are. Before it started, we told a friend that we'd heard the film was "unwatchable" and, afterward, we heard a bewildered audience member gripe, "What the hell did I just watch?" But earlier our friend had declared, "I have faith in Spike Jonze," and he was absolutely right. We never doubted you Spike, and those suits at Warner Bros. can go play in traffic.

Post-apocalyptic docu-drama The Age of Stupid stars Pete Postlethwaite as a global archivist living in 2055, flipping through the pivotal news stories from 2004 - 2008 on a Minority Report-type screen, wondering why we didn’t stop global warming when we had a chance. Well, maybe we would have had time if HBO didn't produce so much time-consuming must-see TV.

Seen any cougars prowling your neighborhood lately? As the Sex and the City gals film their sequel around town, the NY Post takes a look at the aging foursome a whopping 11 years after we first all got to know them. The paper, which points out the women range from 43 to 53 years old these days, says, "One is more likely to sport burp cloths than Manolo Blahniks on the weekends."
