Why Nicole Kidman Is at the Pinnacle

BY: GURU JAY

  
Get to know Nicole Kidman. She was born in Honolulu, Hawaii in 1967 but was raised in Australia. She was Tom Cruise’s wife for 11 years. Now, she is married to Keith Urban. Moreover, she is the mother of 4 children.
Let’s recognize Nicole Kidman for her greatness. The Australian actress is at the pinnacle of her success. Secret in Their Eyes showcases her supreme talents along with Julia Roberts’. Unfortunately, box office results occasionally do not correlate with true results.
I believe the messaging and packaging of a film is more important than initial reception. I admire Nicole Kidman because she’s an actress first, and a movie star second. Many movies take time to register with the public. Moreover, great stories such as Moby Dick are discounted in value when initially released.

I feel Secret in Their Eyes will gain in momentum because Kidman is at her best. It compares favorably to her Academy Award winning performance in The Hours. No offense Meryl Streep but Nicole Kidman stole the spotlight from you.
By far, Far and Away (no pun intended) is my favorite Nicole Kidman movie. Here’s why. Her chemistry with Tom Cruise could cause a volcanic eruption on the Big Island. They were truly in love with each other. In my book, Far and Away is a classic.

Australia is another great movie starring Nicole. As an added bonus, Hugh Jackman escorts his lady for the journey on horseback. I recommend watching it because learning about Australian-Aboriginal relations is insightful. I remember seeing women cry in the movie theater because the plot enthralled them.
The Stepford Wives film deserves an honorable mention. Additionally, Eyes Wide Shut and Moulin Rouge should be acknowledged. Last but not least, Nicole Kidman’s portrayal of Grace Kelly in Grace of Monaco is not recognized enough. With such an amazing career, no one can deny that Nicole Kidman is at the pinnacle. What is more, she’s done more than enough to be considered the best actress ever.

Being Julia Roberts

BY: GURU JAY

Who is the best actress? The name Julia Roberts answers that question. Throughout her storied career Julia Roberts has delivered iconic performances.
Let’s celebrate her filmography. She’s appeared in Academy Award winning titles seemingly as a hobby. Movie industry experts respect Roberts because she respects her profession.
Julia is highly trained and gifted. Critics come out the woodworks and write a review when she plays in a movie. Secret in Their Eyes saw enormous criticism (no pun intended) because it was deemed a “Julia Roberts” film. In other words, expectations are heightened and fears are lowered.
Ever since Pretty Woman, the beautiful actress has been expected to perform to perfection. Usually, Julia comes through on promises. She went from a promising career to a promised career.

Producers give her the star treatment. And the celebrity’s fans worship her. What woman, pretty or ugly, wouldn’t want to be Julia Roberts for a day.
Her niece Emma Roberts is extremely lucky. Julia seems like a genuine and kindhearted human being. You hardly ever hear about the celebrity body slamming Paparazzi. Maybe, she lets her bodyguard do the manual labor. That’s his job, right?
Being Julia Roberts entails major responsibilities. She’s a wife and mother of three. No, she doesn’t have three husbands although she could find two additional partners because her name is Julia Roberts. Check out the following video and you’ll see the perks of being Julia Roberts.

I’ve seen several of the passionate thespian’s films. I’m quite familiar with her filmography. My favorite Julia Roberts movie is The Pelican Brief. It is a well-written script. Plus, the acting is incredible.
Moreover, I recommend seeing Mona Lisa Smile, America’s Sweethearts, and Eat Pray Love. Finally, Erin Brockovich is an absolute must-see movie. Ironically, I believe The Pelican Brief prepared Julia for the Best Actress Oscar.

If you desire to become famous, follow Julia Robert’s footsteps. Sometimes you’ll stumble but falling is necessary in order to grow. Get back up, dust off your shoulders, and keep on going.
