And maybe because her acting is never overdramatized. But she is a very talented actress, and whenever she had a chance to work with great material she always proved it. She really is gorgeous in period pieces and in sci-fi thanks to her fairy tale beauty. I'm absolutely sure tha she is coming back as she got that new mature quality to her. It just took her some time to overcome that "teenagerness" even some boyishness maybe. But remember she became exposed to stardom when she was still so young. <br />Just saw the Crucible again - she is so good in it! I even forgot it was Winona, she's good as a villian. She's damn great with complex characters!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-904298711251676332009-05-26T01:29:36.618-04:002009-05-26T01:29:36.618-04:00I would like to see her come back, but hopefully n...I would like to see her come back, but hopefully not in travesties like "Sex and Death 101"... still not sure who to blame for that mess.<br /><br />I wonder what you meant when you mentioned that Jo in "Little Women" fit her "too well"?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02081525799680825467noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-70601321856375494532009-04-23T07:16:00.000-04:002009-04-23T07:16:00.000-04:00I'm biased, I love her.

Angelina has simply never impressed me and I find her a terrible actress. I think she stole the oscar from the brilliant Chloe Sevigny. Even Collette and Keener were 100 times better than her.<br />Winona, on the other hand, I find her work in the late 80's and 90's quite wonderful! I don't believe anyone could have done her part in Heathers better than herself. She was perfect in Little Women. And has never failed to impressed me with her work in Girl, Interrupted, The Age of Innocence, Mermaids, Beetlejuice, The Crucible and Edward Scissorhands. Apparently she's also good in Sex and Death 101, but I can't comment on that right now. So yeah, even though Angelina is the bigger star and better liked by people (I think), she's never impressed me at all, unlike Noni.Kimnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-76662709812740705802009-04-22T16:36:00.000-04:002009-04-22T16:36:00.000-04:00Sigh, I do miss Noni.

She can be annoying, yes (it's her voice, I think), but she's got the chops.

First of all, see "Beetlejuice!" Not actually for Winona Ryder, more Catherine O'Hara, but a great movie nonetheless.

She was great in her S1m0e cameo and what could have been a phoned in performance in Mr. Deeds was actually quite sweet and endearing (and she did that playing a very unempathetic gossip reporter). Before that, she was a boring actress with limited ability who had the privilege of staring in a couple of cult classics as a teenager.Cinesnatchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00244752542602944093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-25905044529583928992009-04-21T22:46:00.000-04:002009-04-21T22:46:00.000-04:00I hope Winona makes a big comeback.I hope Winona makes a big comeback.Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06039130895443623988noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-1225242505060806982009-04-21T21:13:00.000-04:002009-04-21T21:13:00.000-04:00Kurtis O, I agree with you.
