The 10 Worst Movies I Have Ever Seen: #8 & #7

Photobucket

Alone in the Dark, dir. Uwe Boll

What would a "Worst Movies Ever Seen" list be without a film by Uwe Boll? COMPLETE MADNESS! That was probably populating Uwe's mind at the time of filming this piece of garbage. He knew this was going to be a piece of shit, but he decided what the hell! He's rich and he can do what he wants. This is actually the only Uwe Boll movie I have seen. I do want to see In the Name of the King: A Dungeon Seige Tale, Postal, Seed, House of the Dead and the Bloorayne movies. Hopefully they aren't as bad as this movie and are merely so bad they are entertaining. Alone in the Dark is just dreadful. Christian Slater looks irritated and who's idea was it to cast Tara fucking Reid as a SCIENTIST? Hi Maureen Web. A flaming bag of shit is on the way to your house right now. Reid is just abysmal here. None of her lines are spoken with authenticity or conviction. She has been good in some movies (The Devil's Pond being her best work), but what was she thinking here? The opening scroll thingamabob is boring and the special effects are crappy. The ending is extremely stupid and the whole thing is one big, confused mess.

...speaking of shitty horror movies...

Jason X, dir. Jim Isaac

Oh God. Oh holy mother of lord. What an extremely horrendous movie this is. Jason is getting tiring. Watching him kill people is getting tiring. Yes, some of the ways are inventive, but it feels like people are just running out of steam. Wow. Jason in space. Blah blah blah. Freddy vs. Jason was gruesome fun, but this is just...not even functionable. Jim Isaac directed this, and he also directed Skinwalkers which I kind of wanna see. To me, Michael Meyers is still scary even after all the movies he's been in. Jason is just a waste of time now. Just like this whole film is a complete waste of time. Oh, and one last thing....WHAT IN THE BLOODY HELL IS DAVID CRONENBERG DOING IN THIS MOVIE? Gah! What a waste of an extremely talented person in a lame movie like this.

SAG Awards: Winners!

The ones bolded are the ones I got right

Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Leading Role

Daniel Day-Lewis - There Will Be Blood [DANIEL PLAINVIEW]


This further solidifies his status to win the Oscar. He deserves it too. I've said this before, but his acting job here is on Ellen Burstyn - Requiem for a Dream scale.

Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Leading Role

Julie Christie - Away from Her [FIONA ANDERSON]


I am glad she showed up to the ceremony. She does have some competition from Cotillard and Page to win the Oscar, but I think she is good right now.

Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Supporting Role

Javier Bardem - No Country for Old Men [ANTON CHIGURH]


He and Day-Lewis are the only for sure winners come Oscar night. He has mostly steamrolled through the precursors and nothing is going to stop him. Just like his character in the movie.

Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Supporting Role

Ruby Dee - American Gangster [MAMA LUCAS]

It's good that she won this and she definitely deserved her Oscar nomination. However, I do think that either Blanchett or Ryan will win the Oscar. Her win here was definitely a surprise.

Outstanding Performance by a Cast in a Motion Picture

No Country for Old Men


This is now definitely going to win the Best Picture award.

Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a TV Series or Movie

Kevin Kline - As You Like It [JACQUES]


Total shot in the dark. Just figured that Kevin Kline is someone they like and that that would make him win. I was right =)

Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a TV Series or Movie

Queen Latifah - Life Support [ANA]


She won the Golden Globe, so I expected the SAG to follow suit. I need to see this movie.

Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Drama Series

James Gandolfini - The Sopranos [TONY SOPRANO]

Should have known that they would give the Actors to The Sopranos because 1. One of the most popular shows and 2. It just ended. Well deserved though.

Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Drama Series

Edie Falco - The Sopranos [CARMELA SOPRANO]

Definitely should have seen this one too. Her and Gandolfini are life forces on the screen.

Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Comedy Series

Alec Baldwin - 30 Rock [JACK DONAGHY]

Thought that they would give it to someone else, but two years in a row ain't bad for a continously hilarious performance. He was my alternate choice.

Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Comedy Series

Tina Fey - 30 Rock [LIZ LEMON]


She has improved in every episode since Season 1 and she just keeps getting funnier and funnier. She is an amazingly astute comedic performer and the tasks she performs on the show just make the program even better. Extremely well deserved.

Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Drama Series

The Sopranos

With The Sopranos ending this should have been a no brainer. My love for Grey's Anatomy clouded my thoughts. This was my alternate though, so it was in the corners of mind.

Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Comedy Series

The Office

The Office and 30 Rock are both so funny and they both deserved this award. I'm glad one of them got it though.

R.I.P Heath Ledger

Photobucket



1979-2008

Your performance in Brokeback Mountain is one for the ages and will be remembered years into the future. An extremely talented individual taken too early. You will be missed.

Academy Award Nominations

The ones I got right are in bold.

Best Picture

Atonement
Juno
No Country for Old Men
Michael Clayton
There Will Be Blood


Got 5/5 here. Pretty proud of myself forseeing Into the Wild's snub and Atonement and Juno's acceptance into Best Picture. I am also glad that I got rid of Sweeney Todd and replaced it with Michael Clayton.

Best Director

Paul Thomas Anderson - There Will Be Blood
Ethan & Joel Coen - No Country for Old Men

Tony Gilroy - Michael Clayton
Jason Reitman - Juno
Julian Schnabel - The Diving Bell and the Butterfly

Got 3.5/5 here thinking that the Atonement love would let Joe Wright get a nomination and the respect for Tim Burton would grab him a nod too. Oh well. Jason Reitman's nod was pleasantly unexpected. Tony Gilroy was my alternate so I get half a point for that.

Best Actor in a Leading Role

George Clooney - Michael Clayton
Johnny Depp - Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street
Tommy Lee Jones - In the Valley of Elah
Daniel Day-Lewis - There Will Be Blood

Viggo Mortensen - Eastern Promises

Got 4.5 out of 5 here, with Viggo being my alternate. I've said it twice, I'll say it again, I KNEW TOMMY LEE JONES' RAVES WOULD NOT GO TO WASTE!! Everyone thought his performance was amazing in In the Valley of Elah, and even though he got zero precursor attention, I knew the Academy would nominate him.

Best Actress in a Leading Role

Cate Blanchett - Elizabeth: The Golden Age
Julie Christie - Away from Her
Marion Cotillard - La Vie en Rose
Laura Linney - The Savages
Ellen Page - Juno


Got 4/5 here thinking there was no possible way the Academy would nominate Cate Blanchett twice. I was wrong. I haven't seen The Golden Age, but I have a feeling I will like, or possibly even LOVE, her performance when I see it. However, for now, Angelina should have taken your spot, Cate.

Best Supporting Actor

Casey Affleck - The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford
Javier Bardem - No Country for Old Men
Philip Seymour Hoffman - Charlie Wilson's War
Hal Holbrook - Into the Wild
Tom Wilkinson - Michael Clayton


Got 5/5 here. Easiest category to predict. Tommy Lee Jones had a good shot at being nominated here, but I am glad he got nominated for In the Valley of Elah instead.

Best Supporting Actress

Cate Blanchett - I'm Not There

Ruby Dee - American Gangster
Saoirse Ronan - Atonement
Amy Ryan - Gone Baby Gone
Tilda Swinton - Michael Clayton


Got 4/5 here. Thought that Ruby Dee's nomination would just be at the SAG's. Kelly Macdonald should have gotten a nod here. After hearing things about her performance, it really sounded like she could get swept along with No Country for Old Men's love. Glad Ronan got the nomination when many people thought Catherine Keener would get bumped.

Best Original Screenplay

Diablo Cody - Juno

Nancy Oliver - Lars and the Real Girl
Tony Gilroy - Michael Clayton
Brad Bird, Jim Capobianco & Jan Pinkava - Ratatouille
Tamara Jenkins - The Savages


I got 4.5/5 here with Nancy Oliver being my alternate. Knocked Up seemed like a very likely candidate. It got a WGA nod and I thought that that would translate into an Oscar nomination.

Best Adapted Screenplay

Christopher Hampton - Atonement
Sarah Polley - Away from Her
Ronald Harwood - The Diving Bell and the Butterfly
Ethan & Joel Coen - No Country for Old Men
Paul Thomas Anderson - There Will Be Blood


Got 5/5 here correctly predicting everyone. SARAH POLLEY IS AN OSCAR NOMINEE! This day was a comin'.

Best Foreign Language Film

Beaufort (Israel)
The Counterfeiters (Austria)

Katyn (Poland)
Mongol (Kazakhstan)
12 (Russia)

I got 2.5/5 here with 12 being my alternate. 4 Months, 3 Weeks & 2 Days, The Orphanage, and Persepolis should be on this list.

Best Animated Feature

Persepolis
Ratatouille

Surf's Up

Where the hell did Surf's Up come from?? The Simpsons Movie was genius and deserved to be here. I haven't seen Surf's Up, and I would probably like it, but no one can beat The Simpsons. NO ONE.

Best Art Direction

American Gangster
Atonement
The Golden Compass
Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street
There Will Be Blood


Got 3.5/5. Alternate: Golden Compass

Best Cinematography

The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford
Atonement
The Diving Bell and the Butterfly

No Country for Old Men
There Will Be Blood

Got 4.5/5. Alternate: No Country for Old Men

Best Costume Design

La Vie en Rose
Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street

Got 3/5.

Best Film Editing

The Bourne Ultimatum
The Diving Bell and the Butterfly
Into the Wild
No Country for Old Men
There Will Be Blood


Got 3/5. Alternate: The Bourne Ultimatum. Surprise: Into the Wild

Best Sound Mixing

Ratatouille
Transformers

Best Visual Effects

The Golden Compass
Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End
Transformers


Got 3/3.

Best Makeup

La Vie en Rose

Norbit
Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End

Got 2/3. Norbit!!?? Really!? The fat did look like it had dimples and cellulite on it...

Best Original Score

3:10 to Yuma
Atonement
The Kite Runner

Michael Clayton
Ratatouille

Got 3.5/5. Alternate: 3:10 to Yuma.

Best Original Song

August Rush - "Raise It Up"
Enchanted - "Happy Working Song"
Enchanted - "So Close"
Enchanted - "That's How You Know"
Once - "Falling Slowly"


Got 2/5. Enchanted song overload? Or not?

Best Documentary Feature

Lake of Fire
No End in Sight
The Price of Sugar
The Rape of Europa
Sicko

Got 2.5/5 here. Alternate: War/Dance

I think I did fairly decent. These are (mostly) extremely rad Oscar nominations.

Golden Globes: Winners!

The actual winners, my prediction, and then some thoughts.

Best Picture - Drama: Atonement

My Prediction: No Country for Old Men

That came out of left field. After being shunned by almost everything, Atonement pulls off a win. I still think it has a VERY good chance of being nominated for Best Picture.

Best Picture - Musical/Comedy: Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street

My Prediction: Juno

Everyone's favourite movie Juno ultimately didn't win anything. Blah. However, I still do think it and Sweeney Todd will be nominated for Best Picture.

Best Actor - Drama: Daniel Day-Lewis - There Will Be Blood

My Prediction: Daniel Day-Lewis - There Will Be Blood

Exactly as I, and everyone else, predicted. He deserves the Oscar more than anyone else. I can't get this performance out of my head. Every time I see a clip from or the trailer for the movie, I always have this rush of amazing-ness come into my head. He immersed himself into this character so much and the end result was extraordinary. This is acting on an Ellen Burstyn- Requiem for a Dream scale.

Best Actress - Drama: Julie Christie - Away from Her

My Prediction: Julie Christie - Away from Her

Got this one right too. A lovely and heartbreaking performance. She definitely deserves the Oscar. I don't think she has any worries come Oscar time.

Best Actor - Musical/Comedy: Johnny Depp - Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street

My Prediction: Johnny Depp - Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street

Finally! Johnny Depp wins a Golden Globe after eight freakin' consecutive nominations. Hopefully this translates to an Oscar nomination.

Best Actress - Musical/Comedy: Marion Cotillard - La Vie en Rose

My Prediction: Ellen Page - Juno

I thought that the continuing popularity with Juno, critics and viewers included, would translate into a win for Ellen Page. Oh well. I am one of the one's that think Marion Cotillard gave an excellent performance. Not merely mimicry. She brings something else to the performance entirely.

Best Supporting Actor: Javier Bardem - No Country for Old Men

My Prediction: Javier Bardem - No Country for Old Men

This is the one that is surefire for winning the Oscar. No question about it. Javier Bardem will soon have an Oscar, and it seems like he deserves it. One of the most chilling villains in movie history? I think so.

Best Supporting Actress: Cate Blanchett - I'm Not There

My Prediction: Cate Blanchett - I'm Not There

Sure Amy Ryan has grabbed most of the critics awards; Cate Blanchett has also grabbed some of them as well. Everyone else thought Amy Ryan would win, but I was one of the select few that thought the Globes would give Cate Blanchett another one nine years after her previous one. I was right =) It's definitely down to her and Amy Ryan competing for the Oscar. I have to re-watch Gone Baby Gone and watch I'm Not There to see which performance I side with.

Best Director: Julian Schnabel - The Diving Bell and the Butterfly

My Prediction: Ethan & Joel Coen - No Country for Old Men

I don't think this damages The Coen Bros. Oscar chances at all. They will win the DGA and then that will lead to an Oscar win. The Globes loooove Foreign films.

Best Screenplay: Ethan & Joel Coen - No Country for Old Men

My Prediction: Diablo Cody - Juno

No worries here either. I thought since Juno has picked up the most screenplay awards so far, it would win here. I expect each of these movies to win their respected categories.

Best Original Song: Into the Wild - "Guaranteed"

My Prediction: Grace is Gone - "Grace is Gone"

I only chose Grace is Gone because I liked the song, but Guaranteed is a good song as well.

Best Original Score: Dario Marianelli - Atonement

My Prediction: Dario Marianelli - Atonement

Marianelli's score for Pride & Prejudice was amazing and definitely deserved the Oscar nod it received. I am hoping for this score to follow suit.

Best Foreign Language Film: The Diving Bell and the Butterfly

My Prediction: 4 Months, 3 Weeks & 2 Days

Should've seen this coming. With all of the other noms Diving Bell got, I should have forseen that the Globes would pick this to win Foreign Language Film.

Best Animated Feature: Ratatouille

My Prediction: Ratatouille

This is off to win the Oscar.

Best TV Series - Drama: Mad Men

My Prediction: Grey's Anatomy

Best Actress TV Series - Drama: Glenn Close - Damages

My Prediction: Sally Field - Brothers & Sisters

Best Actor TV Series - Drama: Jon Hamm - Mad Men

My Prediction: Hugh Laurie - House

Best TV Series - Musical/Comedy: Extras

My Prediction: 30 Rock

Best Actress TV Series - Musical/Comedy: Tina Fey - 30 Rock

My Prediction: Tina Fey - 30 Rock

Best Actor TV Series - Musical/Comedy: David Duchovny - Californication

My Prediction: Alec Baldwin - 30 Rock

Best TV Mini-Series or Picture: Longford

My Prediction: Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee

Best Actress TV Mini-Series or Picture: Queen Latifah - Life Support

My Prediction: Debra Messing - The Starter Wife

Best Actor TV Mini-Series or Picture: Jim Broadbent - Longford

My Prediction: Jim Broadbent - Longford

Best Supporting Actress TV Series, Mini-Series or Picture: Samantha Morton - Longford

My Prediction: Katherine Heigl - Grey's Anatomy

Best Supporting Actor TV Series, Mini-Series or Picture: Jeremy Piven - Entourage

My Prediction: Ted Danson - Damages

My final score was 9/25= 36% which is HORRIBLE! It's all good though because that score is actually very entertaining. My predictions for the SAG awards and Oscar nominations will be up soon. And I plan to add two more entries for my Worst Movies of All Time list.
