2014 Golden Globe Winners

-

Here are the winners of the 2014 Golden Globes. This was a fun show with a few surprises. Best line of the night easily goes to Tina Fey introducing Leonard DiCaprio: "Like a hot super model's vagina, please give a warm welcome to.." The winners are bolded, and my thoughts follow in green. I'm a little drunk, so beware of rambling. Oh wait, that's in my blog title. I always ramble.

Best Motion Picture - Drama
"12 Years A Slave""Captain Phillips"
"Gravity"
"Philomena"
"Rush" 
I predicted this, but as the night went on and 12 Years continued to get shut out, I was afraid they'd give it to Gravity.

Best Motion Picture - Comedy/Musical
"American Hustle"
"Her"
"Inside Llewyn Davis"
"Nebraska"
"The Wolf Of Wall Street"
Got this one right too. I loved American Hustle, I think Wolf is my favorite, but I would've been happy with either them or Her taking the win.

Best Director
Alfonso Cuaron - "Gravity"
Paul Greengrass - "Captain Phillips"
Steve McQueen - "12 Years A Slave"
Alexander Payne - "Nebraska" 
David O Russell - "American Hustle" 
I thought O'Russell would take it. Sorry Alfonso, I can't forgive you for fucking pink ranger Hermione in Prisoners of Azkaban. We're not cool, man.

Best Actress - Drama
Cate Blanchett - "Blue Jasmine"
Sandra Bullock - "Gravity
Judi Dench - "Philomena"

Best Supporting Actor
Barkhad Abdi - "Captain Phillips"

    I don't like Bono either but I'm just glad Taylor Swift lost. She's a bitch and Bono is still a turd.

      I'm happy for her losing too. I liked that Tina Fey kind of had a dig at her when Amy Poehlar won. "There's a special place in hell for you."

    Hehe, I love AZKABAN but "Pink Ranger Hermione" made me laugh. I actually thought Cuaron deserved the Golden Globe because GRAVITY is so impeccably crafted. Also had to smile when Leo said Kate's name. :)

      U2 does have good music, I just love to make fun of Bono in particular. :)

    No idea what was going on with Diddy, haha.
    So happy for Spike Jonze, I really hope he wins the Oscar for screenplay. I've not seen Her yet as it doesn't come out in the UK until Feb, but it seems like a deserving winner. Plus, I wasn't the biggest fan of American Hustle.

    Looking forward to seeing Leto sweep up these awards, he's my supporting actor win.

      I can't wait to hear what you think of Her. It definitely does deserve the screenplay win in my opinion. It's just so beautiful!

    Yes! Give Leo an Oscar already!

Random Ramblings: The Radio Flyer Conundrum

-
Image
Recently, I was talking to someone about who I thought were the best child actors when I was also a child.  Two that really stood out to me were Elijah Wood and Joseph Mazello, and one film those two were in together was called Radio Flyer.  Then I was reminded about the uniqueness of this film. Instead of reviewing the film, I wanted to have an open discussion about the ending. It deals with a tough issue; child abuse. What I’ve noticed is the way that the film ends is interpreted many different ways, and the filmmakers never came forward to say what was right and wrong. I’m interested in hearing everyone’s opinions on it. How did you interpret the ending? Obviously spoiler alerts will follow.. For those of you who haven’t seen the film, the basic premise is this: Two young boys, Mikey (Wood) and Bobby (Mazello) move in with their single mother and her boyfriend, who refers to himself as ‘The King’. It doesn’t take long for The King to start physically abusing Bobby, and the

Indie Gems: Behind The Mask: The Rise of Leslie Vernon

Passionate about your profession? I had never heard of this film until it ended up on one of Jason's favorite horror movie lists around Halloween. It immediately sounded interesting to me, so of course I threw it in my Netflix queue. (and if I'm just now watching it after adding it around Halloween, you know how ridiculous my queue is) Taylor (Angela Goethals) is a journalist who, along with a film crew decides to follow around a serial killer named Leslie Vernon. (Nathan Baesel) He plans on doing the typical slasher thing - getting a bunch of drunk teens in an abandoned house and knocking them off one by one. He gets advice from a retired serial killer, Eugene (Scott Wilson) and is threatened by a man who's on to him, Doc Holloran (Robert Englund) Taylor and crew are there capturing it all. Leslie Vernon is fucking hilarious to start with, and clearly very passionate about what he does. He tells Taylor all of his secrets and can barely contain his excitemen

Earlier this week I made a post where I ran through the letters of the alphabet with my favorite movie titles. There were a few people that suggested I turn it into a blogathon, and I've never done that before. So here goes nothing! Since this is my first attempt at a blogathon, it's all pretty simple, and it's hopefully a quick post that everyone can join in. Rules: 1) Going through the alphabet, list your favorite movie title beginning with each letter.  2) You don't have to necessarily  like the movie to use it's title.  3) Use the banner at the top of this post in yours. 4) Please have submissions in by Friday, May 30th*. (But I'll be honest, if you send them to me after that date, I'll still add them to my post.) You can either leave a link to your post in the comments here or tweet it to me, ( @ramblingfilm )  Thanks everyone! :)  *I had to move the date back a week due to Photobucket threatening me with bandwidth issues. But
