2010 Golden Globe Nominations

RYAN: OMG it’s a national holiday – the announcement of the Golden Globe nominations! CAROLINE: I totally DVR’ed The Today Show so I could watch the announcements live. Who asked Justin Timberlake to be there and why did he feel the need to be such a cut-up? RYAN: Seriously. Check yourself, buddy; you’re not a ..

THE BAD LIEUTENANT: PORT OF CALL – NEW ORLEANS

RYAN: I took myself to see “The Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call – New Orleans” primarily because my all-time favorite actress, Fairuza Balk, is in it. She played Dorothy in “Return to Oz” back in the day. She’s barely in this but in one scene she looks so smokin’ hot, I felt so proud and ..

INVICTUS

RYAN: Hollywood heavyweight Clint Eastwood’s new offering is “Invictus” with Morgan Freeman playing Nelson Mandela, and Matt Damon as a South African rugby player. Let me just say Clint is without a doubt one of the best directors out there. CAROLINE: I cherish him. I have loved his recent movies; but sadly I can’t say ..

THE LOVELY BONES

CAROLINE: I’ve really been looking forward to seeing “The Lovely Bones” for months now, having read the book many years ago and knowing what an amazing story it is. Plus I was interested to see what Peter Jackson would do with the movie since he’s mostly done fantasy lately. RYAN: I did not read this ..

New on DVD

RYAN: Just in time for the holiday season, it’s raining “Harry Potter” DVDs and I couldn’t be more thrilled. CAROLINE: I can’t imagine anyone more excited than you that the sixth HP movie is finally available for purchase. RYAN: “Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince” is as good as any of them and I love ..

UP IN THE AIR

CAROLINE: “Up in the Air” is easily one of my favorite movies of the year. It might even be my favorite. There, I said it. RYAN: I love your passion, and I agree. It’s an excellent movie that just gets better and better as it goes along. CAROLINE: I was so impressed by this movie! ..

BROTHERS

CAROLINE: I wasn’t that excited for the new movie “Brothers,” starring Jake Gyllenhaal, Natalie Portman and Tobey Maguire, mostly because it seemed a little heavy and melodramatic. Maybe I went in with lowered expectations… because I wound up really, really liking this movie. RYAN: I went in with much higher expectations and sadly, they were ..

OLD DOGS

RYAN: I broke down and paid for a movie over the weekend. CAROLINE: It’s a rare occurrence indeed. RYAN: “Old Dogs.” CAROLINE: I’m in shock! You seriously could not have paid me to see it. How ever did you muster the strength? And more importantly, why? RYAN: I really love both John Travolta and Robin ..

Happy Thanksgiving

RYAN: Happy Thanksgiving movie lovers! CAROLINE: I’ve been baking all morning. RYAN: I’m cooking too! CAROLINE: I’m really looking forward to “Up in the Air” next week. RYAN: I can’t wait for “Nine.” CAROLINE: We’ve got a little longer to wait for that one. RYAN: I’m thankful for getting to see so many movies with ..

PLANET 51

RYAN: “Planet 51” is a new animated film written by the guy who did “Shrek” and directed by some video game directors. CAROLINE: You know I don’t do kids’ movies. So lay it on me. RYAN: It’s good. CAROLINE: …but what? RYAN: But nothing. I mean, it’s not the best animated movie I’ve ever seen ..

THE TWILIGHT SAGA: NEW MOON

CAROLINE: The much anticipated follow-up to “Twilight” is finally in theaters as of midnight last night. Let’s talk “New Moon.” RYAN: I really didn’t like “Twilight” the movie that much, especially since I’d read the book which was much better. But with “New Moon,” I didn’t read the book and wound up really liking the ..

THE BLIND SIDE

CAROLINE: I was so excited to see “The Blind Side,” mainly because of Sandra Bullock. Plus I always enjoy a heartwarming movie; especially when it’s based on a true sorry. RYAN: I just couldn’t be bothered to care about this one. It looks so schmaltzy I just had to allow myself to skip it. What ..
