March Madness: Relevant Film Updates for this year

• Roman Polanski's Carnage is slated for release this year, a year earlier than previously expected. With the cast of Jodie Foster, Kate Winslet, Christoph Waltz and John C. Reilly biting into juicy characters at Polanski's direction, this easily shoots up to one of my most awaited films of the year and possible Oscar player.
• Darren Aronofsky drops out of The Wolverine. His envisioning of the X-Men universe was one I was highly looking forward to, though not as much as the new Spider Man.
• Dave Karger, who once again proved his dominance this year as the premiere Oscar prognosticator by predicting The King's Speech all the way through — including when he was virtually the only one and mocked for doing so — senses that A Better Life will be a potential awards player at the end of the year for the film and lead actor Demián Bichir.
• Evidently, Jane Eyre is pretty good. Expect some token nominations for Costumes and Art Direction by next year.
