The Academy Award nominations are expected to be released tomorrow (Tuesday the 24th) and so rather than wait for the inevitable disappointments and obvious bit of pandering…DailyHelping brings you it’s anticipated nominees with a few comments about what or who should win. Best Picture “The Artist” (It’s hard to understand why this is so popular!) [...]

“Eastern Promises” was named by Daily Helping, as one of the ten best movies of the past decade. (It was in fact tied with another Viggo Mortensen-David Cronenberg collaboration, “A History of Violence”). Rumors of a sequel have have been floating about online for well over a year now, and now good news comes from [...]

David Cronenberg and Viggo Mortensen are re teaming for a return to London’s Russian mob with a currently untitled sequel to “Eastern Promises.” The Daily Helping is often suspect and wary of sequels.  This is a huge exception.  This site considered “Eastern Promises” a candidate for best film of the past decade, and so with [...]

David Cronenberg is a big favorite of Daily Helping.

He cut his teeth on campy horror and will soon be working [...]

As much as I like discussing prime time television and sharing a spy novel or two…there are also going to be times when the Daily Helping opts for gratuitous nudity.  Again, this may alienate a certain demographic, but I’m open to all suggestions as far as content goes.  If there are readers out there who [...]
