CRITICS' TELLURIDE
For the first time I have asked some of the best in the business to rate what they saw at the Telluride Film Festival and they have responded. I asked each critic/blogger to rate the films they saw on a scale from 0 to 5 with 0 being "abysmal" to 5 being extraordinary.
And now I want you to do this too. Send me YOUR ratings using the same 0 to 5 scale and I'll compile and post the collective take on Monday. You rate your films here as a comment to the blog or email me at mpgort@gmail.com or michael_speech@hotmail.com
Now here's the take from the professionals who accepted my invitation.
From Alex Billington/First Showing: Amour-1, Argo-4.0, At Any Price-5, The Attack-4.5, Frances Ha-4, Ginger and Rosa-1, The Hunt-2, Hyde Park on Hudson-4, N0-4, Rust and Bone-4.5, Stories We Tell-3.5.
From Scott Feinberg/The Hollywood Reporter: Amour-4, Argo-5, Central Park Five-4, Hyde Park on Hudson-3.5, The Iceman-3.5, Love, Marilyn-4, No-3.5, Rust and Bone-4.5, The Sapphires-4.5
From Eugene Novikov/Film Blather: The Act of Killing-3, Amour-4, Argo-3.5, At Any Price-4, The Attack-4.5, Baraka-2, Everyday-2.5, Frances Ha-5, The Gatekeepers-2, The Hunt-4.5, Midnight's Children-0, No-3.5, Piazza Fontana-2, A Royal Affair-3, Rust and Bone-3.5, Wadjda-3

Michael Patterson/Michael's Telluride Film Blog: Amour-3.5, Annecy Animation-3.5, Argo-4.5, At Any Price-2, The Attack-3.5, Corman's World-4, Frances Ha-4, Hyde Park on Hudson-2.5, No-3.5, Rust and Bone 4.5, The Sapphires 4
The combined averages for every film earning at least two responses was as follows:
1) Central Park Five-4.7
2) Argo-4.5
3) Stories We Tell- 4.3
4) The Sapphires 4.25
5) (Tie) Frances Ha and The Attack- 4.2
7) Rust and Bone- 4.0
8) The Iceman- 3.8
9) At Any Price- 3.7
10) (Tie) Amour and Baraka- 3.5
12) No- 3.4
14) (Tie) Hyde Park on Hudson and The Gatekeepers 3.0
15) Everyday- 2.8
All other films were viewed/rated by only one respondent.
ARGO TRAILER
Ben Affleck's "Argo" seems to be the big hit of this year's festival with critical reaction enthusiastic and Oscar watchers suggesting the possibility of multiple nominations. As you can see from above, it was a favorite among the critic/bloggers that were kind enough to participate in my first ever post-Telluride poll. It will be interesting to see if the reaction in Toronto is as enthusiastic (my bet is that it will be).
At any rate, the film opens Oct. 12 and has its theatrical trailer out for all to see. If you missed it last week and your in Toronto, try to catch it...it's very, very good.

GURUS ON BP AND OSCAR HEAT
The Gurus of Gold have their first tentative look at where they think the Best Picture race starts. Included in the conversation from Telluride are "Argo" and "Amour". Take a look here:
