Golden Globes Preview: Part 1
With the Golden Globes coming up this Sunday (on the Conan hating network of the oblivious) I thought I would give a few predictions, opinions on nominees, and condemnation of one or two who deserved nominations more than others. The Globes are the second cousin to the more prestigious Emmy and Academy Award shows, but a fun precursor nonetheless by which to gauge the possible nominees of those greater honors. First of this two-part write-up, a look at the television nominees.

The Lovely Bones Review
RATING: C+
In nature, salmon travel upstream, challenging the order of things through an arduous journey against the natural flow of life. In a way, this is also the momentum of Susie Salmon (Saoirse Ronan) in Peter Jackson's The Lovely Bones. The characters of The Lovely Bones are constantly creating, esoterically attempting their escapes upstream. They are attempting to escape from the forward moments of time, the eventuality of losing those moments that constantly pass us by.

Nun Of That on DVD
Today is the day of reckoning, the day that Scorpio Film Releasing's nunsploitation opus, Nun Of That is released to the kneeling masses by Camp Motion Pictures. Now, I can't really review the film in any unbiased manner because I had a part in its production, however, I can give a short synopsis and some quotes by other critics who like myself, think Nun Of That is one of the funniest, most original indies in years.
