2014 Golden Globes Reactions
The conclusion of the year brings with it the beginning of the awards season in which many films are recognized for their endeavors. The 71st Golden Globes, held on Sunday, January 12, 2014 and hosted once again by Tina Fey and Amy Poehler, revealed the victors for each of their many categories covering both film and television. However, focusing on the film aspect of this huge awards ceremony, 2013 definitely has produced a vast array of movies that all could be worthy of an award. Not all get the opportunity to bring home a much deserved trophy, though. Those who win seemed to be what the Hollywood Foreign Press Association viewed as the most notable for receiving an honor, and for the most part I failed to disagree with most of their decisions. In this article, you will find my reaction to most of the highly anticipated category recipients, and hopefully it will help justify the victories of each.

Romance seems to fill up cinema in almost every genre that exists. Anywhere from an action movie to a comedy can display people falling for one another. However, it seems to be in the category of drama where the lust for another person takes on challenges that seem almost impossible to overcome.
Labor Day, based on the novel by Joyce Maynard, is a tale just like that. Starring Kate Winslet and Josh Brolin, the basis of the film takes off when a mother and son give a seemingly unnerving man a ride. Letting him stay in their care for awhile, the mother and son soon find out the truth about this mysterious man as the police go about the town searching for this ex-convict. In a bind as to what to do, the pair contemplates what their few options are for the future with this man.
The new film from Jason Reitman will be in theaters on January 31.
