Yay, Part II
...and today is Meryl Streep's birthday! Meryl is, for me, the best actress to ever live. Period! I'd rank her performances, but they're all wonderful...though my clear favorite is one of the few performances she did (rightfully) win the Oscar for, Sophie's Choice. Anyway, that's that, and I'm not in a blogging mood, really, so I think I'll end right...here. Happy Birthday Meryl!

That's a neat coinky-dink
Last night I was all excited about Fur, and now, today, it's La Goddess Kidman's birthday. Yay! Since separating from her ex-husband, who then frankly went batshit crazy not unlike his turn in Magnolia, I really do think she has proven herself as an actress (not that she hadn't before, but she really got public notice, along with two Oscar nominations, one which led to a win). Nicole, despite being undoubtedly A-list, is not afraid to do projects approximately five people will see, like Dogville or Birth. She's always good to extremely excellent. She's not the best at comedy (errr... The Stepford Wives anyone?) but she's getting better (I really did love her in Bewitched). My favorite performances of hers:
1. Dogville
2. Moulin Rouge! (pictured above - too fabulous for words.)
3. Birth
4. The Hours
5. To Die For
6. The Hours
7. Eyes Wide Shut
8. Portrait of a Lady
9. The Others
10. Cold Mountain (I think I'm the only person on Earth who liked this movie.)
11. Bewitched
and The Stepford Wives would theoretically be #12, but it's nowhere near as good as these performances (yes, even Bewitched).
Ooh, a substantial post!
