If you’re like me, you may use the Golden Globe Awards as a way to figure out what movies are worth spending an outrageous $10 a ticket on to see, and what television shows are worth attempting to cram into your busy schedule.

For those of you who didn’t have time to watch the awards, here is a breakdown of who won and what's worth your time.

On Sunday night, the best of the best in the television and movie worlds gathered at the 70th annual Golden Globe Awards at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills, Calif. Amy Poehler and Tina Fey hosted the awards, making the room full of laughter and fun every time they were on stage.

The Razzies have once again beaten the Academy Awards to the punch of reflecting back on the films of the year—but for this awards show, the picture isn’t so pretty.

The Golden Raspberry Awards have dishonored Hollywood’s most shamelessly awful films annually since 1981; the ceremony unfolds the day before the Academy Awards and is rarely attended by any of the nominees (it’s a little known fact that celebrities - especially comedians - seldom possess an actual sense of humor when the joke’s on them).

Adam Sandler, who hasn’t appeared in a decent movie since he made pursuing Razzie MVP a full-time career, will fall short of his 10 wins for last year’s Jack and Jill after receiving only nine nominations for That’s My Boy. Better luck next year, Adam.

You know what makes me happy? Anything made by Hayao Miyazaki (and a few other things). Get to the Hayao Miyazaki: A Studio Ghibli Retrospective at The Loft this month:

All through the month of January, The Loft Cinema is proud to present a nationally-touring retrospective series celebrating the work of legendary, Oscar-winning filmmaker Hayao Miyazaki, featuring newly struck 35mm prints of the director’s feature films from Japan’s famed Studio Ghibli animation house. Don’t miss your chance to see such Miyazaki favorites as Princess Mononoke, Spirited Away, My Neighbor Totoro and more on the big screen in this smash-hit collection that has wowed audiences across the country — and now it’s here at The Loft! Most films in the series will be presented in both subtitled and English dubbed versions.

Presented by GKIDS.

Apparently, some geniuses at FUSE TV decided it would be a great idea to have Shaggy 2 Dope and Violent J, the MCs of Insane Clown Posse, go Mystery Science Theater 3000 on, well, anything put in front of them. Astoundingly, it isn't the worst thing I've watched on YouTube (that "honor" goes to the series of "popping" videos on YouTube. For your own sanity, I do not recommend you search "youtube" and "popping." Ever.)

What impresses me is the fact that, really, Violent J actually seems reasonably intelligent and interested at times...whereas Shaggy is about as insightful as you would expect from a man who has a large, stylized "D" tattooed on the back of his head.

Actually, neither of them are insightful, and the highest praise the trailer gets from them is that "the freshest part of that video was the elephant's ass." But still, good for them! Not many people are able to successfully make a brand out of it being Halloween every night. Go you, Insane Clown Posse. Go you.

Because I am a terrible person, I don't generally find myself all that interested in stories about the environment. Yes, I try to do the right sort of things — reusing, recycling, I've been known to carpool and use public transportation, we bought a high MPG car, etc. — but I tune out a bit when the news switches over to news of that sort. I hope the world doesn't collapse upon itself during my lifetime or that of my children, but I also have a remarkably short attention span when it comes to that stuff. Again, I realize this is a fault of mine.

So, I wasn't terribly interested in seeing Chasing Ice, a documentary about the melting of the ice caps opening at the Loft this weekend, but geez, watching this footage of a chunk of iceberg nearly the size of Manhattan break off is pretty compelling film-making, right?

This may not shock you, but the man responsible for this video lives in Portland. I know, right?

"The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey" comes out next week, and my expectations for who will be at the midnight showings have now skyrocketed.

Today at Tucson's best movie theater: a free screening of The Graduate. It's part of the Loft's Essential Cinema series. From the Loft's website:

“You’re trying to seduce me, Mrs. Robinson ... Aren’t you?” Glamorous, funny, sexy (coo, coo ca-choo, indeed) and sad, The Graduate is an emotional touchstone for an entire generation, not to mention a crowd-pleasing late-‘60s harbinger of the “New Hollywood” studio films that would storm the movie industry in the early ‘70s. Here we have cleverly-crafted student unrest in bourgeois clothing, as young Dustin Hoffman’s Benjamin Braddock, adrift after college, is craftily seduced by a woman of his parents’ generation: the fabulous Anne Bancroft’s icily-assured friend-of-the-family Mrs. Robinson (actually only six years Hoffman’s senior). So it’s understandable that Ben’s dream girl Katharine Ross is a bit startled to learn that he’s been sleeping with ... her mother! Arguably, no other movie of the ‘60s — not even Bonnie and Clyde or Easy Rider — more successfully turned counterculture angst into popular culture. The biggest box office surprise of the decade, an Oscar-winner for second-time director Mike Nichols, and a revved-up vehicle for Hoffman’s star-making breakout role, The Graduate darkly and humorously captured the restlessness and ennui of the era. Bouyed by a razor sharp screenplay from Calder Willingham and Buck Henry (who also nails a hilarious cameo as a hotel desk clerk) and a legendarily evocative score by pop duo Simon & Garfunkel, this remains one of the most beloved classics of the American screen, filled with so many instantly-iconic moments (“Plastics!”), it’s almost like a cinematic greatest hits compilation of the counterculture generation.

If you can't make it to today's 11 a.m. screening, you can see it on Tuesday night at 7 p.m.

First, I'd like to give you a moment to cancel your plans for Friday night. It's ok. The blog post can wait.

Now that you've taken care of that, because you are clearly a person of discerning cultural taste, you'll be at the Loft Cinema at 10 p.m. Friday night for the Trapped in the Closet Sing-Along. The idea is relatively simple: 22 chapters of the greatest musical storytelling experience ever to involve an male asthmatic midget stripper will be projected on a screen, with convenient subtitles so you can sing along with the rest of the audience. If that wasn't enough, the festivities will be kicked off with a selection of R. Kelly's greatest non-"Closet" greatest hits, including his classic remix to "Ignition." You might still be bitter because the cruise was cancelled, but this will be a great opportunity to experience the work of a living genius with your friends and neighbors. Plus, free Trapped in the Closet condoms! What more could you ask for?

General admission tickets are $8, two bucks cheaper for Loft members.

Sure, they didn't completely tear apart Pittsburgh's Heinz Field for one of the largest special effects sequences in The Dark Knight Rises (though as a bitter Arizona Cardinals fan, I wouldn't have been that upset,) but it appears that the film's special effects team actually used practical special effects in the scene where a Gotham football field collapses.

Check out the video below from MSN for a look at the movie magic.

I'm not sure what it says about me that the most nagging, unrealistic thing about that shot to me is that it has Hines Ward returning a kickoff for a touchdown.

Seeing legendary producer/director Roger Corman at the Loft last night was great. He seemed to be a delightful gentleman who truly loves making movies. I enjoyed Death Race 2000 last night, but for me, the real thrill was seeing Corman's Masque of the Red Death on the big screen this morning. I have fond memories of watching all those Corman adaptations of Edgar Allen Poe stories as a kid in this town, in those dark days before VCRs and cable when all you had was four or five TV stations and those creature feature movies on a Saturday night were the height of cinematic excitement.

The Loft's film fest is continuing tonight through Thursday, Nov. 15. I'm looking forward to John Dies at the End Tonight. (I guess those Corman movies as a kid shaped a lot of my cinema tastes today...) Director Don Coscarelli, known for his work on the Phantasm films and Bubba Ho-Tep, is gonna be there to talk about the film.

There's a whole bunch of other stuff that's worth checking out, even if John Dies at the End isn't down your alley. There's a full day of films tomorrow, including the apocalyptic comedy It's a Disaster with David Cross and Julia Stiles, and then the Doors concert film on Tuesday night. Check out the whole schedule here.
