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!

REVIEW: THE HEAT

Image
I have to confess the only thing I'd ever seen Melissa McCarthy up to this point was her hilarious guest appearances on "SNL," the peak performances trumping with her physical slapstick. I've always wanted to see "Bridesmaids" to see that Oscar-nominated performance of hers, but in all honesty, "Identity Thief" and "Mike & Molly" looked silly to me, and I never watched "Samantha Who" or "Gilmore Girls." All I had to judge on was reviews claiming she carried "The Heat" on her shoulders, and those choice over-the-top delicious roles on "SNL." The verdict: she's hysterical. Indeed McCarthy does something fascinating: everything coming out of her mouth is nearly always funny (to the degree of  funny is debatable), profane and rapidly paced. She is the sole reason the movie works, well, to give her co-star credit, the chemistry between her and Sandra Bullock is pretty darn good too. In a bett...

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...

REVIEW: OZ THE GREAT AND POWERFUL

Image
It's been a while since we've seen old James Franco in something big.  I tried to think back....and flashbacks of the Oscars, ones that I've tried to suppress for going on three years now.  After a bit of crying and some warm milk I felt better and thought of what movies he'd been in; "Rise of the Planet of the Apes."  He and the girl from "Slumdog Millionaire" were perfectly fine in that...but they were both completely upstaged by the main ape that ignited the revolution: Andy Serkis as Caesar.  I'm sad to report, ladies and gentleman, that James Franco has once again been upstaged by a motion-capture monkey, this time voiced by Zach Braff. Franco better realize this trend before he signs up to do a "King Kong" remake, and perhaps take some lessons on how to be less of a stiff when the cameras roll.  We all can recall the charismatic showman who appeared behind the curtain at the end of the 1939's "The Wizard of Oz."  H...
