Saw The Golden Globes last night, twas boring but I figured it would be. Its an industry party where famous people sit around discussing how wonderful they are.
Slumdog Millionaire won. I have seen quite a few films this year, not compared to a film critic, but I've seen most nominated films. And Slumdog Millionaire was the top best film I've seen all year. I absolutely loved it and was so happy it won all four of its nominations.
I'm kinda of shocked "Tell No One" didn't get a nod for foreign flick, it was an amazing film.
I saw 'Rachel Getting Married,' on Saturday. I didn't like it, too random. Anne Hathaway did a good job, but overall I felt it was too disjointed, and altogether too random, way to random. It tried to be homey, diverse, family loves family no matter how messed up they are, but it just seemed so forced. And a happy ending? Forced.
I really kinda want to see Defiance, I like Jaimie Bell, though he'll forever be Billy Elliot on my mind. :)
I saw 'The Reader' today. I thought Kate did a fantastic job, well, everyone did, but she's the one who won for it. The movie was good. A sort of universal questions of empathy, comapassion, morality, law and rules are involved in the film. Kate was an SS Guard during the Death March, she's simple and follows rules, never thinking past the present nor of the consequences of her actions. She's a symbol of many SS officers, she did her job, she followed protocol, does that make her guilty to Nazi German law, or is her morality on trial? It's not a Holocaust Film persay, its much more. She affected the main character in ways not even he understand, nor ever will. He affected her and her last action probably was because of him, in fact, it was because of him. I thought it was genuinely a good film.
Heath won for The Dark Knight. duh. However, it pulls me back to what I hate to realize, I'll never see Heath do another great film, nor even act period. That fact sucks. His poor daughter.
30-Rock and Tina won, dur, brilliant show. Mad Men won, dur brilliant show. John Adams won, dur, kick ass mini-series, I love John Adams...the man, though the show was good too. I want HBO soon, I can't keep missing these shows, I mean come on.
movies,
