Over the course of our divine two week holiday break we found ourselves to be serious patrons of the movie theater. It has been an amazing year in film and we still have a lot on our list (Selma, Birdman, BoyhoodIda and Force Majeure). With the Golden Globes this weekend, I definitely have movies on my mind. Into the Woods was an absolute visual treat and the performances were great, as were those in Foxcatcher. However, the standout performance of the year for me so far is Eddie Redmayne as Stephen Hawking in The Theory of Everything, completely mind-blowing. Simply put, I loved everything about The Imitation Game, everything. And although it was released back in March, we should not forget the brilliance of The Grand Budapest Hotel, hands down one of my favorite films of 2014. Now I just have to make the very difficult decision on Sunday evening of whether to watch Downton Abbey or the Golden Globes…
