First, here's a reminder about tonight's airing of the 69th annual Golden Globe Awards ceremony on NBC (8PM ET/ 5PM PT). It should be a fun filled evening for fans of both movies and television shows. And who knows, host Ricky Gervais may even say something outrageous to stir the pot. If so, you won't want to miss that. There's plenty of ways to turn tonight's Golden Globe ceremony into a fun activity. You can start by printing out a copy of your own awards ballot at home, by clicking the link, and having your family or friends do the same. For any categories you're unsure about, you can refer to my Golden Globe predictions. If you're skeptical about tuning into the program, NextMovie.com offers 9 reasons worth watching the Golden Globe Awards tonight. Check them out by clicking here.
In addition to tonight's festivities, I watched two movies this week (one for a second time) that reminded me why I love film so much. First up is the Irish independent film, The Guard, which follows a hilarious, racist, out of the norm Irish police officer (played by Brendan Gleeson) who teams up with an FBI agent (played by Don Cheadle) to stop a trio of drug traffickers. Gleeson also received a Golden Globe nomination for Best Actor in a Comedy or Musical for tonight's ceremony. The Guard is available now on DVD, I highly recommend checking it out.
The other movie I watched, for a second time, is the British apocalyptic-style romance called Perfect Sense. Having first seen this film at the Philadelphia Film Festival in October, Ewan McGregor stars as a chef who meets and falls in love with a woman as an unknown plague sweeps across the entire world and eliminates the human senses one at a time. Perfect Sense, which is currently available to rent on Comcast on Demand (Movies - Same Day as Theatres - All Movies), is a beautifully artistic look into the power of love and romance.
That's all for now, enjoy the Golden Globe Awards tonight and stay tuned for my personal picks for 2011's 6 major awards (just like I did in 2010).
