If her performance didn't work, then the whole movie would have been awful. <br /><br />And Nine was good. Very good. I really enjoyed it. I actually thought Kidman was better than the reviews make her out to be. Kudos to Hudson for trying to make her song work--but her character was pointless. If you took it out of the movie nothing would change. You'd just have it shorter by 10 minutes. Fergie was perfectly cast. Don't know anyone else who could have done 'Be Italian'.<br /><br />But Cotillard and Dench stole the show. Cruz was good as well but not as great as those two.Michael B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/06587665362502209914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-32150192064024136662009-12-05T22:51:32.316-05:002009-12-05T22:51:32.316-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Michael B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/06587665362502209914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-78122482180534984202009-12-05T19:58:58.120-05:002009-12-05T19:58:58.120-05:00catherine & the know nothing... i don't th...<b>catherine & the know nothing</b>... i don't think the quartet is all that likely this year but we'll think of something.<br /><br />i would love to do it again but it's hard to arrange any series that requires multiple voices.NATHANIEL Rhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11597109147678235399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-483785179162874182009-12-05T16:31:06.211-05:002009-12-05T16:31:06.211-05:00Ooh, ooh, ohh, I second that!

I'm never thrilled when an Oscar winner is telegraphed to me months in advance (even when it's Javier Bardem), and I'm no fan of Mo'Nique's pre-Precious work. That said, she deserves it. Yet I'm excited just by the *idea* that I might be watching Jeff Bridges, Meryl Streep and Woody Harrelson pick up Oscars the same night. That's what it's all about.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11061599899403736592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-82768562210857201792009-12-05T02:13:33.541-05:002009-12-05T02:13:33.541-05:00Ok so I don't want to get off topic. but, this...Ok so I don't want to get off topic. but, this new DeNiro flick is pissing me off; I have yet to see it, nor intend to; my concern is that the preview claims that DeNiro could be one of the best actors of our generation.

Surprisingly, none of them raised their hands. Then my teacher commented about Kristen Stewart saying that her daughter, who is 13, thinks she can't act out of a paperbag. Then we proceeded to mock her so-called acting. <br />Such a hilarious class :)Clarencenoreply@blogger.com
