Golden Globes Recap

Happy Monday Everyone!

Anyone catch the Golden Globes Sunday night?  I did and it did not disappoint.  From all the beautiful gowns to the crazy host, I was very pleased!

Ricky, oh Ricky.

Everyone is talking about Ricky Gervais and how he insulted everyone and ticked off the Hollywood Foreign Press.  How could you book Ricky and not expect this?  Really? You know who he is, you know the types of jokes he tells, so why are you so surprised and upset?

I also wanted to touch upon one particular presenter,  Tilda Swinton.

Now, I don't ever remember watching her in a movie, and I'm not saying that she is a bad actress or anything like that.  But this woman freaks me out!  Especially after watching her present, something about the way she looked and her voice just rubbed me the wrong way.  There was no smile or any semblance of happiness to be there.  Did anyone see this?  Am I the only one who feels this way?

Moving on the pretty and fun part of the evening.  Dresses!!!! 

Here are some of my favorites!

Olivia Wilde, um hello Evening Dress Barbie!  Love it!

Natalie Portman.  I love dresses that show a baby bump!!!  Now, I know a lot of the "Fashion Police" did not like this dress, but I thought it was so cute.

Emma Stone.  Uh-flippin-mazing!  She went back to her roots and went blonde and looked fabulous!!!  That dress is killer!

Mila Kunis.  Gorgeous!!!  This emerald green is just perfect on her.

Now, here are some of my not so favorites.  I seemed to notice a "vintage" theme.  Not all vintage should be worn.  There were a lot of sparkle, shoulder pads and Designer Women-esque dresses.

Angelina Jolie.  I'm sorry, yes she may be the golden goddess of Hollywood, but I did not like this dress.  I was waiting for her to morph into Joan Collins circa the Dynasty Era. 

Michelle Williams.  Really?  It's not a bad dress, maybe an afternoon tea dress, but not a Golden Globes dress.

January Jones.  Sigh.  It's like she was at a call back for the Fifth Element The Sequel.  Not a good look. 

Now, those aren't all the best and worst, but just the ones that stood out for me.  I am adding one more photo, Michael Douglas.  As he went out onto the stage he was greeted by a standing ovation.  He then said,"There's got to be an easier way."  Welcome back Michael! 

Love it!

ECLIPSE!!!

Yes, ladies and gentlemen.  I have just witnessed the beautiful, sparkling and uber muscleyness that is Eclipse.

I will have to say this is the best so far of the series.  It does have a lot more action and we get to find out a bit more about the characters that we love.

For all those who have not read the books or watched any of the movies *GASP* I know there are some of them out there, please read the books first.  There is so much inner monologue and the movies just can't seem to do that part justice.  (It is very hard to adapt a movie with so much inner monologue from all characters.)

I do tend to lean towards liking the books better than movies, but this movie was pretty gosh darn good.  (Please say the last three words in a Minnesotan accent, otherwise it's just corny, he he.)  There was character development that I was not expecting, it's so hard to review a movie without giving too much away, don't want to spoil it for anyone.  Bottom line, LOVE IT!

So, please, GO SEE IT!!!  Romance for the ladies action for the guys and lots o' sparkle and shirtlessness to go around.

SATC 2 Review

Anyone up for some ridiculous extravagance?

Then the new Sex and the City movie is just for you!  I loved (and still do) the series when it was on HBO, I loved the first movie, and yes, I loved the sequel!!!

Where do I start???  I don't want to delve into too many details for those SATC fans who have yet to see the movie.  There are cameos, friends from the past, and of course the fashion.  *sigh* Each character is still how we remember; beautiful, vibrant and amazing!  What I loved about the movie was the extreme opulence of just, everything.  I realize for anyone who has not been a fan of the show will maybe find the movie a tad over the top and ridiculous. But, that's why I LOVE it!

If you are a fan GO!!! RUN!!! SPRINT!!!  If you have not seen any of the episodes or first movie, then do!  It is just a great escape!
