Best of... Naomi Watts

You might know that Naomi Watts is my all-time favorite actress. She's amazing, wonderfull and I think that she is better than a lot of other top actresses that get all the attention. She is pure and intense! Here are my favorite Watts movies.

"Mulholland Drive"
One complicated film, but I love this David Lynch movie. It really makes you think and it's a sort of puzzle. Naomi is very good in here role as Diane Selwyn/ Betty Elms.

"King Kong"
One of the best remakes ever. This movie is pure eye candy, but the scenes between Ann Darrow and Kong are the most memorable. So beautiful. And that ending... heart ripping!

"The Painted Veil"
Here in The Netherlands it never made it to the cinema (that proves again how weird this country is). When I saw the trailer on the internet, I really wanted to see it, so when it was released on DVD, I bought it. And I loved it!!! Great story and Naomi is again dashing!

"21 Grams"
Here best movie and role. Three stories, that have nothing to do with each other, cross paths. All the pieces of the puzzle fall together. It's amazing how Alejandro González Iñárritu did that.

"Eastern Promises"
Viggo Mortensens role is best in this film, but you can never overlook Naomi in a movie. Her role is again very strong and independent.

"The Assassinaion of Richard Nixon"
Here role isn't very big, but you notice her. She's not very nice, but even than you love Naomi.

"Funny Games"
Again a remake. It's a harsh movie, but Watts performs wonderfully. As always!

She was only nominated for an Academy Award once ("21 Grams"). Can you understand that?? Well, it's time for a win.

Pic Spam: Matthew Morrison

I'm a teacher and I love my job. But I don't really know any cute teachers. Well, the cutest teacher on TV right now is without a doubt Will Schuester from "Glee" (Oh, no, it's Alaric Saltzman from "The Vampire Diaries", but Will is a good second choice). This character is portrayed by Matthew Morrison. Here are some pics.

Best of... Bruce Willis

Bruce Willis joined the over 50 club, but he still got it. And I still love the dude. Here are my Willis favorites.

"Die Hard"
John McClane is my second favorite movie character of all time (Indiana Jones is first). Who doesn't love a swearing, drinking and smoking cop? Only Bruce can pull that of.

"Pulp Fiction"
Off course this one belongs up here. A Tarantino classic. Bruce plays boxer Butch Coolidge. Awesome movie!

"Die Hard with a Vengeance"
Another great performance as McClane. This one is actually my favorite of the four "Die Hard" movies.

"Four Rooms"
He doesn't have a big part in this movie, but it's still a great film. The segment with Bruce in it, was the one with the finger. Kind of a stupid idea, but also from Tarantino's mind, so that means it's kinda genious.

"Twelve Monkeys"
The story was a bit complicated, but I liked the ending of this film.

"The Fifth Element"
This movie has a lot of action, humour and fantasy. Bruce is funny in a John McClane sort of way. And he's about the coolest cab driver ever!! With the coolest cab, come on, it flies.

"The Sixth Sense"
Awesome movie! The scenes with the kid are heartbreaking and endearing. And the twist in the end. A real jaw dropper.

"Sin City"
One of the best movies made in the past 10 years. Very original and really entertaining. Even in black and white Bruce makes me melt.

"Over the Hedge"
Allthough Verne and Hammy are my favorite characters in this animated movie, Bruce as racoon R.J. is very well done! Funny film, especially the scene were they first discover the hedge. "Let's call it Steve".

Pic Spam: Sophia Bush

Sophia is one of those ladies that just steals the thunder. Evertime when she appears on the screen! So, now she's going to do that on my blog. Here she is.







New addiction: Glee

The show doesn't start in the Netherlands untill the fall, but I allready watch it: "Glee". I heard so many stories about this show. How great it was and how it won an award for best Comedy/ Musical. And when I saw the cast of "Glee" on Oprah, I wanted to see more! It's a show about Will Shuester, who is a Spanish teacher at McKinley Highschool. He decides to run the Gleeclub, a singing group called New Directions. It's a mix of comedy, light drama and a lot of music. I was hooked on this show from the first episode. Now I can't wait for season 2 to start.
Will Shuester is my favorite. See, those teachers make high school worth going to. I did't have those when I was a teenager. I also love Emma, a bit quirky with her germ issues. But Will and Emma belong together. I think Puck and Quinn are my favorite Glee members, but I also like Finn, Rachel, Tina, Kurt and Artie. Sue is the one that makes me laugh te most. Her role is fantastic! "That's how Sue sees it".
Well, now it's official. I'M A GLEEK!

Best of... Cameron Diaz

The woman with the prettiest smile in Hollywood: Cameron Diaz. She's a very entertaining actress and she had some great movies. Here are my favorites:

"There's Something About Mary"
My all-time favorie Cammie movie and I think the funniest movie I've ever seen. I don;t think Cameron can beat this one. It's almost a classic in its genre. Great moments, like the hairgel scene or the one with the zipper incident.

"Being John Malkovich"
She's a little weird in this film, but this movie itself is also weird. But weird in a good way. Very original story and a challenging role for Cameron.

"Gangs of New York"
Her role isn't that memorable, but the movie is. Which makes it on my list of favorite Cameron Diaz movies.

"Very Bad Things"
I love dark humor. This movie has it. Cameron, as Laura, wants the perfect wedding and the perfect married life. It doesn't exactly turn out that way.

"The Mask"
Her first role in a very funny movie. The start of an amazing career.

"In Her Shoes"
I didn't think much of this movie at first, but it turned out to be very good. I liked Cameron together with Toni Colette.

"Shrek"
How can I forget about this one? "Shrek" is a one of a kind story, everybody loves Shrek and his sweet Fiona.
