GOLDEN GLOBE WINNERS!

Last nights Golden Globes went across very well...but there was ONE big British problem wrong with it. Ricky Gervais, who did a fine job hosting last year, returned this year with scathing jokes and just plain mean dialogue aimed towards anyone and everyone in the room. One particular joke about Robert Downey, Jr. pretty much solidified him not returning as host next year. There's a fine line between scathing humor and being meanly rude, and Ricky crossed it.
Besides the host's problems, I was very pleased with who the Globes were taken away with! "The Social Network," of course, was the big winner for movies, taking home 4, including Best Drama! "The Kids Are All Right" (AKA that one movie about lesbians) took home Best Comedy/Musical, but besides "Alice in Wonderland," what competition was there? Here are the other winners of last night's Globes, which played out almost exactly like the Critic's Choice Awards:

DRAMA
Actor: Colin Firth- The King's Speech
Actress: Natalie Portman- Black Swan
Picture: The Social Network

COMEDY/MUSICAL
Actor: Paul Giamatti- Barney's Version (a triumph over the 2 Johnny Depps)
Actress: Annette Bening- The Kids Are All Right
Picture: The Kids Are All Right

OTHER WINNERS NOT BY GENRE
Director: David Fincher- The Social Network
Supporting Actor: Christian Bale- The Fighter
Supporting Actress: Melissa Leo- The Fighter
Screenplay: The Social Network
Animated Film: Toy Story 3

So that's it for this weekend's huge film awards weekend, with Christian Bale, Melissa Leo, Natalie Portman & Colin Firth being the big winners! I'm eagerly awaiting the Oscar nominations coming out Jan. 25th, and I'll have my last set of Oscar nominee predictions coming out very soon.

THOUGHTS ON TOM HARDY

Image
When things become a sucess, I don't know, I feel like I missed them, I blink, and all of a sudden they're a huge success.  Like the TV show "Modern Family."  I decided I'd give it a chance because I love Ed O'Neil from "Married...with Children," and of course the pilot killed.  By the end of the first season people were declaring it one of the best sitcoms ever, it had enormous Emmy buzz...and I just feel like I missed the moment where "Modern Family" became this massive success.  I love the show though, it's one of the few new things on TV I watch nowadays.  That's why I feel accomplished when I'm able to see a superstar being born in Tom Hardy when I watched "The Dark Knight Rises" last week.  "Inception" already made him a breakout star back in 2010, but his performance as Bane really cemented his celebrity status.  I don't even like that word "celebrity," it cemented his status as a gifted,

CLASSIC REVIEW: FINDING NEMO

Image
No offense, but if you went to "Finding Nemo 3D" you're a schmuck.  That's a terrible way to open a review, but let's be truthful here.  You only went to "Nemo" for two reasons: either to see your favorite ocean-dwelling friends Marlin and Dory navigate Marlin's lost son in the third dimensional, or to experience this epic adventure for the first time ever.  Either way you're going to get cheated. Just like "The Lion King" before it and the mixed success of "Beauty and the Beast," Disney's been trying to cram 3D re-releases down America's throats lately.  I have news for errr-body: YOU CAN BUY THESE MOVIES, YOU KNOW.  Practically every Mom with a kid born in the 90's (That's me!) owns a copy of those three movies. Son, I was RAISED on "The Lion King," and if I had had the opportunity to see it in 3D last year, something everybody did, I would've.  The justification of seeing these 90's jewel

REVIEW: THE BOURNE LEGACY

Image
Suffice it to say Mr. Jeremy Renner is having a moment.  After 2 Oscar nominations for work in action films, Hollywood clearly knew where to put him.  In a matter of recent months Renner has established himself as Hawkeye, the successor to Tom Cruise if he ever leaves the "Mission: Impossible" series (which he probably won't, now that he's got some free time on him) and now the successor to Matt Damon in the Bourne movies I've been watching in this last month to prepare myself for "The Bourne Legacy." These spy-action movies are one of the best franchises put to film, and the hard work shows if you ever look at a Bourne behind-the-scenes extra, they actually go to these places Bourne goes: Paris, Tangier, Madrid.  It's hard work, especially for Damon, who was probably tired of playing his never-smiling (seriously, look it up, he doesn't smile at all for the last two movies) rogue agent who just wants to find out who he is.  America obviously wi
