The Golden Globes
Another year has gone by and once again I haven't been nominated for a golden globe, but there is always next year. Sideways- the most beautiful film I have seen all year hands down- won the best picture comedy award. The Aviator won for best picture drama, and it was an amazingly put together film, but I was bored by it and didn't connect in any way to the characters. I'm very happy that Natalie Portman won best supporting actress for Closer- her performance stole the show from Julia by far. I have seen all of the movies I have wanted to this year except for Kinsey, and as I have said before the only way you will get me to see Eternal Sunshine, Million Dollar Baby or Ray is if they are nominated for best picture oscars because those films just look downright boring to me. So, with the exception of those 4 movies I have not seen, i'd like to publish the list of what in my opinion were the best films of 2004 (hint hint to my friends- go see these movies!)
Closer
Finding Neverland
The Incredibles
Kill Bill Volume 2
Sideways
It has been an incredible year for movies, and each one of the films I listed above surprised and pleased me greatly that the motion picture industry has not lost its ability to take me from reality and submerge me into something new and refreshing. Also like to make an honorable mention shoutout to the Stepford Wives- it may have not done well in the theatres but shit did it make me laugh.
