Golden Globes Winners

The Social Network was the big winner at the Golden Globes this year. Taking home the awards for Best Drama, Best Screenplay, Best Director. Colin Firth took home best actor for his work in The King's Speech and Natalie Portman won Best Actress. True Grit wasn't the only movie to get a big old snub from the Globes, while Grit wasn't even nominated Chris Nolan's sci-fi action flick Inception didn't win a single award from it's four nominations. All the winners and nominees, completely ripped off from imdb, after the jump.

Superhero Updates

Tons of superhero movie news in the past week. First off the newest photos from the set of the upcoming Spider-Man reboot. The full gallery of fairly irrelevant pictures from Ain't It Cool News can be found here. Also, there is an even more irrelevant video of some Spidey action going down while shooting in downtown L.A. Spidey and Captain America costume pictures and speculation after the jump.

Golden Globe Picks

Rejoice movie lovers awards season is here! Well, more like awards pre-season. The Hollywood Foreign Press Association has released its nominees for the 68th annual Golden Globe Awards. Most of the 2010 titles causing major Oscar buzz have been nominated including The Social Network, Inception, Black Swan, and Toy Story 3, but the Coen brothers’ True Grit is notably missing from this list. My picks and analysis after the jump.

Critics Choice Awards Winners

The Social Network is the winner of Best Picture at the 16th annual Critics Choice Awards. Some say the critics choice is an Oscars preview, is The Social Network the best film of 2010? Natalie Portman took home Best Actress and Toy Story 3 won Best Animated Feature, and Colin Firth won Best Actor for his work in The King's Speech. Complete winner's summary After the jump.

The Gorillaz released their newest album 'The Fall' for free to their fans on Christmas day, and it gets even stranger. Frontman Damon Albarn from the British alternative hip-hop group recorded the entire album on his iPad while on tour in America.

Very cool idea from the virtual band that has been doing things in their own unique way since they began in 1998. In this Billboard.com article Albarn states:

 "I literally made it on the road in America over a month. I didn't write it before; I didn't prepare it. I just did it day by day as a kind of diary of my experience in America," Albarn says. "If I left it until the New Year to release it, then the cynics out there would say, 'Oh well, it's been tampered with.' But if I put it out now, they'd know that I haven't done anything because I've been on tour ever since." 

 Good on you Damon. Maybe a sign of artists changing the shape of the music industry, maybe not. Either way, for him to record the entire album on an iPad is a testament to the changing times and also wicked cool. The album is available for free here after a brief registration. Here's track number seven Amarillo:

Trailer: The Beaver

The Beaver has two big things going against it: the inevitable vagina jokes (shame) and the fact that it stars Mel Gibson (shame x2). But I have high hopes for this one although Jodie Foster is hit and miss when directing. The cast is promising and features young up and comers Jennifer Lawrence and Anton Yelchin and the quirky and unique plot is enough for me to keep my eye on this one, even though it stars Satan himself.

Top 10 Underrated Films of 2010

Another year has passed and 2010 has given us some great flicks The Social Network, Toy Story 3, Black Swan are all creating Oscar hype, but there are always the hidden gems that slip through the cracks every year. When embarking upon creating this list I found it was difficult to tell which films were underrated. What makes a movie underrated anyway? Well, I decided that it comes down to a couple of factors. First of all maybe two of these films played in Edmonton theaters, and not for long. I also tried to find picks that the average moviegoer might not have heard of. Critical acclaim and media surrounding the release of the films also factored in. So without further deliberation here are the top ten films you never saw in 2010 after the jump.
