... Naomi Watts!
This lovely leading lady (and personal favourite of mine) turns 41 today! She is so talented, but I believe that she is underrated compared to a lot of the actresses around her age. Taking a look back at her performances in King Kong, 21 Grams, The Painted Veil, and Eastern Promises, I would consider all of them among the best of their respective years.
On a side note, Naomi Watts was recently in Toronto to promote her new film Mother and Child, which I foolishly chose not to attend. It has been getting some good buzz since the festival, and hopefully will find a distributor soon.

Happy Birthday...

Marvelous Meryl Streep...

So, today is the 60th birthday of one of the greatest actresses who has ever lived. We should all take a moment today, bow our heads and remember, no matter how great you think you are at something, Meryl Streep will always be better.
Amen. Happy Birthday Meryl Streep!
P.S. The Film Experience has a great tribute post on their blog entitled "60 Appropriate Ways to Celebrate Meryl Streep Month", and a nice video to go with it. Head over there, or check out the video below.

I Can't Help Myself

Today is a day to celebrate, as it is Nicole Kidman's glorious day of birth. If you can believe it she turns 42 today.
She is truly a goddess among mortals. (Although I know there are PLENTY of you out there who would disagree, I don't care. I love her that much.) Happy Birthday Nicole Kidman!

Queen of Hearts

Julianne Moore is the queen of tears. She is also the queen on choosing the wrong movie as a vehicle for herself (The Forgotten).
However, her greatness outweighs any shadows that may be cast over her presence, and for that I salute her. Happy 48th Birthday Julianne Moore!
P.S. I personally do not believe this woman is a day over 40.

... Ang Lee who turns 54 today! A very Happy Birthday to one of my favourite directors ever! He is currently shooting his next project Taking Woodstock with Emile Hirsch , Jeffrey Dean Morgan, Liev Schreiber, Paul Dano, Eugene Levy, Kelli Garner, Mamie Gummer, and Imelda Staunton. Can't wait.

To One of the Most Talented People in the World...

... I would like to wish a very Happy Birthday. The lovely Kate Winslet turns 33 today, and being one of my most favourite actors in the whole wide world, I had to dedicate at least one post to this woman.
I still do not understand how so much talent and beauty can fit into one person.
