But “Insurgent” has the same problem as the first two “Harry Potter” films – it’s too faithful, coupled with a dearth of inspiration behind the camera.

Submitted by mattmovieman on February 1, 2011 - 9:05amCHICAGO – After 2010, the Golden Globes should officially retire the category of “Best Musical or Comedy” for two reasons: 1.

This year’s nominees were so embarrassingly awful that they instantly drained the category of any future credibility.
