Confessions From A Black Rose

It is beginning to look a lot like Christmas especially with the snow storm that is in our region. Christmas is always a magical time for me and I cannot believe it is 6days away. Man, that is so close! I got to get shopping. Since the year is coming to an end it only means one thing. The movie buff in me is ecstatic, it's award season baby! Already the Golden Globe and SAG nominations have been announced. It looks like Up in the Air, Precious, The Hurt Locker and Inglorious Basterds are in lock to be nominated for Best Pictures at the Oscars. Things are looking promising for Avatar (which i hear is supposed to be amazing) Nine and An Education also have a good shot at being nominated as well. I think that the best actor category is already locked up. I believe it will look like this: Morgan Freeman-Invictus Jeff Bridges- Crazy Heart Colin Firth- A Single Man Jeremey Renner- The Hurt Locker George Clooney- Up in The Air I recently saw the trailers for The Hurt Locker, The Messeng

Not only is the year coming to the end but it is the end of the first decade of the 21st century. I am looking forward to all that is in store for 2010 and beyond. In the next couple of days I will be compiling top ten lists of the decade. As a huge movie buff it would not be right to not start there. Here it goes... 10.Bridget Jones Diary Renee Zellweger was in her element. It was quirky, smart and all around entertaining. Colin Firth was an absolute dream as Mark Darcy. It is not only a guilty pleasure for me but an actual good film. 9. The Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl Funny and brilliant at the same time. Johnny Depp was a complete genius in the role of Jack Sparrow 8. Finding Nemo The best film that Pixar ever made(Up is also up there-no pun intended). Hilariously charming. 7. X2: X-Men United Wolverine and the gang united to deliver the best super hero film of the 21st century. I was left wanting more(little disappointed by the third one but oh well). 6.
