Gothamist was a bit underwhelmed by this year's Golden Globe nominees, and we were thinking of not liveblogging. But, gosh darn it as we watched the E! preshow and saw the starlets sparkle their way down the red carpet, we realize it was hopeless, so here we are. Let it be known that: - Keira Knightley looks gorgeous in her white Valentino - and there's something surprisingly youthful about the dress, even though there's that......

It's a complete cliche but in order for movies like the new romantic comedy opening this weekend with Debra Messing and Dermot Mulroney, The Wedding Date, to do well at the box office chicks have to promise the trade-off.

News of David Beckham's possible move from Manchester United to Barcelona has not only British soccer enthusiasts freaking out, but the entire United Kingdom reeling as well.

601am mentioned how someone at his local video store kept renting the movies he wanted to see, making him wonder if the person would like him, too. I wonder that often when I go see movies, especially when I go alone. I wonder if the people at the Saturday 11AM showing of Femme Fatale or Sunday 12:05PM of My Wife Is Actress are people like me.

Finally, the British hit Bend It Like Beckham opens here. It's about an Anglo-Indian girl whose parents want her to lead a traditional Sikh life while she is crazy about soccer. The Beckham in the title refers, of course, to the impossibly attractive and talented David Beckham of Manchester United. Here are reviews from A.O. Scott of The New York Times and Kenneth Turan of the L.A. Times. Stephanie Zacharek of Salon calls love interest......
