BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. - The science-fiction blockbuster “Avatar” won best drama at the Golden Globes and picked up the directing honor for James Cameron on Sunday, raising the “Titanic” filmmaker’s prospects for another Academy Awards triumph.It was a repeat of Cameron’s Globes night 12 years ago, when “Titanic” won best drama and the directing prize on its way to dominating the Oscars.This time, though, instead of being “king of the world,” as Cameron declared at the Oscars, he has become king of an alien landscape, elevating space fantasy to enormous critical acclaim.”‘Avatar’ asks us to see that everything is connected, all human beings to each other, and us to the Earth. And if you have to go four and a half light years to another, made-up planet to appreciate this miracle of the world that we have right here, well, you know what, that’s the wonder of cinema right there, that’s the magic,” Cameron said.Winning the dramatic-acting honors were Sandra Bullock for the football tale “Th

Amy Adams follows Hilary Swank (”P.S. I Love You”) and Janeane Garofalo (”The Matchmaker”) in the overworked premise where an uptight American woman goes to Ireland and finds true love. Adams plays Anna, a Boston real-estate stager who is disappointed when her equally type-A boyfriend Jeremy (Adam Scott) doesn’t propose, so she follows him to Dublin to pop the question on Feb. 29 — when women, by tradition, can ask the men. The journey becomes a shambles, and Anna must rely on a craggy Irishman, Declan (Matthew Goode, fromDeclan (Matthew Goode) and Anna (Amy Adams) trek across the Irish countryside in “Leap Year” (Jonathan Hession / Universal Pictures)”Brideshead Revisited”), to get her to Dublin. As director Anand Tucker (”Shopgirl”) grinds through the cliché-encrusted script by Deborah Kaplan and Harry Elfont (”Made of Honor”), Anna and Declan start fighting and end up … well, you can guess. Adams is cute as a button, as always, but even she can’t energize this tired excuse for a

Five years after he made Earth freeze over in “The Day After Tomorrow,” director Roland Emmerich is wreaking more havoc, this time with “2012.”The disaster epic, which opens November 13 via Sony, sees the end of the world come from solar flares that cause the Earth’s core to melt and shift tectonic plates.While the movie is preposterous, and recycles a set piece three times, you can’t deny the mesmerizing quality of devastation, especially on the big screen.During Tuesday’s world premiere in downtown Los Angeles, Mickey Rooney began clapping during the epilogue, leading the crowd to applause during the credits.”When you normally see disasters, you always see the aftermath; movies actually show it happening,” theorized Emmerich at the after-party as to why those kinds of movies are popular. People are fascinated.”While the German native got out of the directing gate with “Universal Soldier” and “Stargate,” it was the 1996 alien-invasion disaster movie “Independence Day” that really made
