My Heart Will Go On And On...



How this movie fell out of my rotation, I will never know...



My roommate and I just revisited the epic disaster/love story that is Titanic, and I am IN LOVE!! I know it came out 13 years ago (yeah I was shocked when I did the math too!), but watching it in theaters as a nine year old was a completely different experience than watching it when I'm in my twenties! Seeing as I am now approximately the age that Leo and Kate were when they began shooting this movie (eek, I better jump start my career!), there is just SO MUCH MORE TO TAKE IN!!! I loved this movie back in 1997, I loved it when I was in middle school and high school, and now I am BEYOND LOVE!! It has all of the elements a great movie should! Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet are giving such fantastic performances and have such amazing chemistry together!! I have so much respect for them as actors!





Along with my new-found-yet-not-so-new obsession with this movie, my roommate and I have also proceeded to download Celine Dion's anthology. Obviously along with a Titanic obsession, a Celine one shortly follows! :)

Here's some picture loving, because I can't help myself!!

It's Like the Super Bowl for Actors!



So the Golden Globes were on tonight! I personally enjoy the Golden Globes more than the Oscars because they are far more relaxed and you can see the actors, directors, writers, producers, etc. acting like regular human beings! The Oscars are so prestigious (not that that's a bad thing!) and everybody is so nervous and straight-laced. The Golden Globes...well, you have Ricky Gervais hosting (hilarious!), hilarious acceptance speeches (RDJr), as well as recognizing some of the most amazing performances by the most talented people in Hollywood. Very exciting!

This year was the first year in a while were I had actually seen almost every movie and TV show nominated, so I was really into the show! I'm not going to give a play-by-play of all the awards and my opinions on them, but I was not disappointed by anything! Meryl Streep was fantastic and inspiring as always, Mo'Nique made me cry, Robert Downey Jr. was hilarious, Sandra Bullock and Drew Barrymore were amazing, Martin Scorsese's speech reminded me why I want to be in this crazy profession. Overall, a great night for film and television!! :)
