2022 GOLDEN GLOBE PREDICTIONS!

It's that time of year again where I remember I have this blog and write out my predictions for the (maybe not being aired??) Golden Globes! Even though they've both gotten polarizing reviews, they come from awards season titans, so I do believe Adam McKay's Don't Look Up and Aaron Sorkin's Being the Ricardos will pick up some nominations. I'm also wishfully hoping that after drudging through 2021, the Globes will focus on the feel-good, with crowd-pleaser King Richard, lovably weepie CODA and Branagh's childhood memoir Belfast all vying for Best Drama. The Globes also love Lin-Manuel Miranda (as do I) and I think may be the only major awards organization to recognize him in the director slot, but I wouldn't be sad! Speaking of Lin, it is been a wonderful year for the musical, box office be damned, and I personally cannot wait to see the West Side Story remake after the glowing reviews! In no particular order, just as they came to my exhausted, first grade teacher-brain.

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
