    "Foxcatcher" was released one month ago in my country's cinemas and it has been ranked as one of the best movies of the last year! It was originally screened in the last Cannes Film Festival and it won the award for "Best Director". It has already been nominated for two Bafta awards, three Golden Globes which include "Best Motion Picture - Drama", "Best Actor in a Motion Picture - Drama" & "Best Supporting Actor – Motion Picture" and very likely will be a candidate in the respective categories of the Oscars. Judging by what I saw, "Foxcatcher" is a remarkable film and was certainly one of the most hype movies in the film circles of the last year! The film is based on true events and director Bennett Miller shows respect to all three characters of the story. Brothers Mark and Dave Schultz, who were champions of freestyle wrestling of Olympic Games in Los Angeles, are faced with the insistence of a multi-millionaire John Du Punt, who wants to undertake them as their sponsor. Initially, the younger brother (Mark Schultz) accepts the offer, by moving the vila of Du Pont and he develops a close relationship with the eccentric sponsor. The latter is the one who motivates Mark Schultz to convince his brother to come in the freestyle wrestling "Team Foxcatcher" so that they have guaranteed success at the next Olympics. The story itself is not very interesting, but the fact that it is based on true events is one reason to see it out of curiosity. It has slow and steady rhythm but at least it did not cause us boredom. The performances are very good by the three actors although Steve Carrell is the one who steals the show because of his transformation for the needs of the film. Incidentally, he reminded us of the Penguin from "Batman Returns". The directing was quite attentive and the photography of some external shots were very good! However, the story had many script gaps and the director failed to develop the characters as they should have been. Basically, you can not understand the real motives of multi-millionaire Du Punt. Apart from leaving innuendos about his personal relationship he had with one of the brothers. If the story had happened about 25 years, the director definitely would have had all the information that could have had brought them more to the big screen. Instead, he preferred to keep a mystery during the film, leaving us with some unanswered questions at the end. However, I would not say that I was pleased with this version of events. "Foxcatcher" is a pretty good production although it do not deserve to be the best movie of the year! It's not one of those films that cut many tickets during the first run. It's one of the films that raise the total receipts after their distinction in some categories of Oscar. It has received positive reviews and it has a fairly high average score in IMDb (7,5). I would recommend it especially to viewers who like true stories with controversial plot.
  2. "The Actress Rate Results" will end this weekend. I know that it took me a lot of time to complete this. Please forgive me..However, "better late than never".. :P The final battle is between Sandra Bullock and Meryl Streep. One of them received 77 points and the other one received 75 points. Meryl is the "queen" of social/drama movies and Sandra is the "queen" of comedies and Hollywood movies. Who of them is the winner? I really love both of them. I have always loved Sandra and Meryl grew on me with her amazing talent! They are adorable! http://joytv.gr/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/sandra-bullock-meryl-streep.jpg http://img2.timeinc.net/people/i/2005/startracks/051114/sbullock.jpg http://s3-ec.buzzfed.com/static/enhanced/webdr06/2013/7/1/10/anigif_enhanced-buzz-13673-1372689242-5.gif http://s3-ec.buzzfed.com/static/enhanced/webdr06/2013/7/1/10/anigif_enhanced-buzz-25341-1372689355-33.gif
  3. No.3 Total Points : 59 Kate Winslet http://imagenes.in/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/kate-winslet-by-robert-erdmann-filmmakeriqcom-1419274628ng84k.jpg Kate Winslet is one of my favourite actress ever! She was my second favourite actress in my list. I'm so glad that she is in the Top 3! She is one of the most charismatic British actresses and she is one of the most important actresses of her generation. I have watched many of her movies and she is always good. I totally loved her when I watched "Titanic" in the cinema 16 years ago. I'm still one of her fans and I'm glad that some Buzzjack members voted her too! Kate Winslet is an English actress and singer. Winslet began studying drama at the age of 11 at the Redroofs Theatre School. At the age of 12, Winslet appeared in a television advertisement directed by filmmaker Tim Pope for Sugar Puffs cereal. Winslet's acting career began on television, with a co-starring role in the BBC children's science fiction serial "Dark Season". In 1992, Winslet attended a casting call for Peter Jackson's "Heavenly Creatures" in London. Winslet auditioned for the role of Juliet Hulme, a teenager who assists in the murder of the mother of her best friend, Pauline Parker (played by Melanie Lynskey). The film included Winslet's singing debut, and her a cappella version of "Sono Andati", an aria from La Bohème, was featured on the film's soundtrack. The film was released to favourable reviews in 1994 and won Jackson and partner Fran Walsh a nomination for an Academy Award for "Best Original Screenplay". Winslet was awarded an Empire Award and a London Film Critics' Circle Award for "British Actress of the Year" for her performance. The following year, Winslet auditioned for the small but pivotal role of Lucy Steele in the adaptation of Jane Austen's "Sense and Sensibility", featuring Emma Thompson, Hugh Grant and Alan Rickman. Budgeted at US$16.5 million ($25.5 million in current year dollars) the film became a financial and critical success, resulting in a worldwide box office total of $135 million ($208.9 million) and various awards for Winslet, winning her both a BAFTA and a Screen Actors' Guild Award, and nominations for both an Academy Award and a Golden Globe. In 1996, Winslet starred in both Jude and Hamlet. The latter garnered largely positive reviews and earned Winslet her second Empire Award. In September 1996, Winslet began filming James Cameron's Titanic (1997), alongside Leonardo DiCaprio. Gwyneth Paltrow, Claire Danes, and Gabrielle Anwar had been considered for the role; when they turned it down, Winslet campaigned heavily for it. She sent Cameron daily notes from England, and thanks to assistance from her agent Hylda Queally, Cameron eventually invited her to Hollywood for auditions. Cameron described the character as "an Audrey Hepburn type" and was initially uncertain about casting Winslet even after her screen test impressed him. After she screen tested with DiCaprio, Winslet was so thoroughly impressed with him, that she whispered to Cameron, "He's great. Even if you don't pick me, pick him." Winslet sent Cameron a single rose with a card signed "From Your Rose" and lobbied him by phone. "You don't understand!" she pleaded one day when she reached him by mobile phone in his Humvee. "I am Rose! I don't know why you're even seeing anyone else!" Her persistence, as well as her talent, eventually convinced him to cast her in the role. Against expectations, the film went on to become the highest-grossing film of all time, grossing more than $1.843 billion ($2.8 billion) in box-office receipts worldwide, and transformed Winslet into a commercial movie star. Subsequently, she was nominated for most of the high-profile awards, winning a European Film Award. (Wikipedia is totally the most enlightening encyclopedia on the internet) "Hideous Kinky", a low-budget hippie romance film shot before the release of "Titanic", was Winslet's sole film of 1998. he next film Winslet starred in was "Holy Smoke!" (1999), featuring Harvey Keitel. That same year she voiced Brigid in the computer animated film "Faeries". Winslet appeared in the period piece "Quills" with Geoffrey Rush and Joaquin Phoenix, released in 2000. Well received by critics, the film garnered numerous accolades for Winslet, including nominations for SAG and Satellite Awards. In 2001's "Enigma", Winslet played a young woman who finds herself falling for a brilliant young World War II code breaker, played by Dougray Scott. Generally well-received, Winslet was awarded a British Independent Film Award for her performance. In the same year she appeared in Richard Eyre's critically acclaimed film "Iris", portraying novelist Iris Murdoch. Winslet shared her role with Judi Dench, with both actresses portraying Murdoch at different phases of her life. Subsequently, each of them was nominated for an Academy Award the following year, earning Winslet her third nomination. Also in 2001, she voiced the character Belle in the animated motion picture "Christmas Carol: The Movie", based on the Charles Dickens classic novel. For the film, Winslet recorded the song "What If", which was released in November 2001 as a single with proceeds donated to two of Winslet's favourite charities, the N.S.P.C.C. and the Sargeant Cancer Foundation for Children. A Europe-wide top ten hit, it reached number one in Austria, Belgium and Ireland, number six on the UK Singles Chart, and won the 2002 OGAE Song Contest. Her next film role was in the 2003 drama "The Life of David Gale". Following The Life of David Gale, Winslet appeared with Jim Carrey in "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind" (2004). The film was a critical and financial success. Winslet received rave reviews for her Academy Award-nominated performance! Her final film in 2004 was "Finding Neverland". The film received favourable reviews and proved to be an international success, becoming Winslet's highest-grossing film since "Titanic" with a total of $118 million worldwide. n 2005, Winslet appeared in an episode of the BBC/HBO comedy series "Extras" by Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant as a satirical version of herself. Her performance in the episode led to her first nomination for an Emmy Award. In "Romance & Cigarettes" (2005), a musical romantic comedy written and directed by John Turturro. She began 2006 with "All the King's Men", featuring Sean Penn and Jude Law. The film was critically and financially unsuccessful. Winslet fared far better when she co-starred in Todd Field's "Little Children". For her work in the film, she was honoured with a Britannia Award for British Artist of the Year from BAFTA/LA, a Los Angeles-based offshoot of the BAFTA Awards, was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Actress, and at 31, became the youngest actress to ever garner five Oscar nominations!!! She followed Little Children with a role in Nancy Meyers' romantic comedy "The Holiday", also starring Cameron Diaz, Jude Law and Jack Black. The film became Winslet's biggest commercial success in nine years, grossing more than $205 million worldwide. Also in 2006, Winslet provided her voice for several smaller projects. In the CG-animated "Flushed Away". In 2007, Winslet reunited with Leonardo DiCaprio to film "Revolutionary Road" (2008), directed by her husband at the time, Sam Mendes. Winslet was awarded a Golden Globe Award for "Best Actress" for her performance, her seventh nomination from the Golden Globes. Also released in late 2008, the film competed against Winslet's other project, a film adaptation of Bernhard Schlink's 1995 novel "The Reader", directed by Stephen Daldry and featuring Ralph Fiennes and David Kross in supporting roles. While the film garnered mixed reviews in general, Winslet received favourable reviews for her performance. The following year, she earned her sixth Academy Award nomination and went on to win the "Best Actress" award, the BAFTA Award for "Best Actress", a Screen Actors' Guild Award for Outstanding Supporting Actress, and a Golden Globe for Best Supporting Actress. In 2011, Winslet headlined in the HBO miniseries "Mildred Pierce", a small screen adaptation of James M. Cain's 1941 novel of the same name, directed by Todd Haynes. Winslet won an Emmy Award, a Golden Globe Award for "Best Actress – Miniseries or Television Film", and a Screen Actors Guild Award for Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Miniseries or Television Movie for her performance. Also in 2011, Winslet appeared in Steven Soderbergh's disaster film "Contagion". Winslet's other 2011 film project, Roman Polanski's "Carnage", premiered at the 68th Venice Film Festival. For her performance Winslet received a second nomination by the Hollywood Foreign Press that year. Her first 2013 release was "Movie 43", an independent anthology black comedy film that featured 14 different storylines, with each segment having a different director. In 2013, Winslet appeared in Jason Reitman's big screen adaptation of Joyce Maynard's 2009 novel "Labor Day", also starring Josh Brolin. For her performance, Winslet earned her tenth Golden Globe nomination for "Best Actress in a Motion Picture – Drama". Winslet then appeared in "Divergent" (2014), Neil Burger's film adaptation of the 2011 young adult novel by Veronica Roth. In late 2014, Winslet appeared alongside Matthias Schoenaerts in Alan Rickman's period drama "A Little Chaos". As of December 2014, Winslet has four upcoming projects. She has completed John Hillcoat's crime-thriller "Triple Nine", the second installment of the Divergent trilogy, entitled "The Divergent Series: Insurgent", in which she reprises her role of Jeanine Matthews, and Jocelyn Moorhouse's "The Dressmaker" based on the novel of same name, in which she stars as a femme fatale. In addition, she is set to appear in Jesse Peretz's comedy-drama "Juliet, Naked", based on Nick Hornby's 2009 novel of the same name. Apart from her acting skills, Kate is an active person. In 2010, Winslet narrated a video for PETA, encouraging chefs to remove foie gras from their menus and asking consumers to boycott restaurants that serve it. She is a vegetarian. Winslet narrated the documentary "A Mother's Courage: Talking Back to Autism" in 2010. Her involvement in the documentary led to her founding the non-profit organisation, the Golden Hat Foundation, whose mission is to eliminate barriers for autistic people. In 2011, Winslet received the Yo Dona award for Best Humanitarian Work for her work with the Golden Hat! Divorced from the film directors Jim Threapleton and Sam Mendes, Winslet is now married to the businessman Ned Rocknroll. She has three children. Eight members voted this amazing woman! Two of them gave a 10! I have watched many of her movies so far : Titanic (E-P-I-C), Quills (Intriguing story, very good performances), Enigma (Decent movie), Iris (Emotional performances), The Life of David Gale (I really liked this film despite it received poor reviews/Thought provoking movie), Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (Alternative movie with interesting characters/ the script was quite good), Finding Neverland (One of my favourite movies that year/The performances were very good), The Holiday (Very sweet movie with pleasant performances), The Reader (One of my favourite movies that year/ Her performance was groundbreaking!), Revolutionary Road (Absorbing movie with powerful perfromances), Contagion (Very interesting story with incredible cast!) and Divergent (One of my favourite action films of the last year/ The story is very good). I have to say that her majority of the films are very good. So, I would suggest you to watch "Titanic" because James Cameron did a great job, "Quills" because it was one of the best films of that year, "Iris" because it's a good movie about an important writer, 'The Life of David Gale" because it's a meaningful movie about death sentence, "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind" because it's one of the most riveting movies of the last decade, "The Holiday" because it's an enjoyable movie, "The Reader" because Kate gave her best performance so far, "Revolutionary Road" because it was one of the most critically movies of the last decade, "Contagion" because it's one of the best medical thrillers that I've ever watched and "Divergent" because it has a lot of action and intriguing story.
  4. I believe that "Blue Jasmine" is the best movie of Cate Blanchett. Woody Allen offered her a very special character. I highly recommend this movie to everyone. You have to watch "Moulin Rouge!" I'm sure that you will love it.

    You are very young. I'm sure that you will watch many bad movies in the future and you 'll reconsider your opinion about the magnificent "Ouija".. :D I haven't watched Bollywood movies yet. I love "Slumdog Millionaire" if we count it as an Indian film. However, I want to watch a popular Indian film which it was critically acclaimed in 2001. It's called "Monsoon Wedding". Have you watched this movie? Does your mother know about this movie? Thanks for the page. I checked about this movie but its plot is unknown to me. 7% is very low but I think that Rotten Tomatoes always give very low scores. I usually prefer Internet Movie Database.

    I haven't watched "Birdman", The Imitation Game" and "The Theory of Eveything" yet. So, I'm not sure if "The Grand Budapest Hotel" or "Boyhood" deserves to win. Outstanding British Film - Under The Skin..Seriously??? Best Film Not In The English Language - Two Days, One Night..Much better than the overrated Ida. Best Original Music - Hans Zimmer...He totally deserves it. This man is incredible composer! Best Special Visual Effects...All of them are impressive. However, "Interstellar" is the biggest contender here. The EE Rising Star Award - Shailene Woodley...There was no reason to nominate 5 people here. However, I'm sure that Jack O'Connell will win this.. I couldn't help but wonder why the majority of the films were released in December..? I'm quite suspicious..Is this the best kind of advertisement of these movies..? Yes of course..

  9. "Le Meraviglie" or "The Wonders" is an Italian production which was released in my country over a month ago. "Le Meraviglie" was awarded with the Grand Prize (Grand Prix) at the Cannes Film Festival 2014! This distinction is awarded to the most original film every time. Having seen many award films from the most prestigious festivals in the world, I can say that the majority of them were quite good and some of them were excellent (The White Ribbon, La Vie d'Adele, The Pianist). Yet "The Wonders" is not one of them. The story is based on the willing and perseverance of a girl to join her family in a TV reality show to win a prize money. Her father is a beekeeper and the little protagonist, along with her three smaller sisters, help him in various agricultural activities. Although her father strongly opposed to family participation in the competition, the protagonist completes an application in secret and eventually the family takes part in the television event. Definitely the scenario is not something great but we have not seen similar stories in cinema so it has an originality as concept. However, the result did not satisfy us enough and while it started slowly and then got better, in the last 40 minutes of the movie, it was embarrassing to watch the performances and the plot was very incoherent. The latter scene was extremely disappointing. I can not figure out what inspired or reason for the director / screenwriter Alice Rohrwache to make this movie. Did she want to shoot a film with social fiction elements ? Does she want to show us the hard life in the Italian farmhouse or perhaps she wanted to convey the relationships between children and parents who live in rural areas? Maybe a little of bit of everything, without giving us something meaningful. However, the interpretation of the little heroine was very good, the other interpretations were nice and the first half of the film was quite interesting. Unfortunately, the second half was tragic, the plot become worse and worse while the performances were up to par with a high school play. Monica Bellucci convinced us once again that she is not a brilliant actress. Her performance was one the worst of this year but I imagine that she will not win the Golden Raspberry Award because they usually choose more relevant actors/actresses. "Le Meraviglie" was not very good, in my opinion, to be awarded in the most prestigious film festivals worldwide! I don't justify the award which it won because "Relatos Salvajes" / "Wild Tales" was the one that had to be honored due to the smart script idea and the original direction. "Le Meraviglie", however, has received a moderate rating - for award winning film - in IMDb (6,8), showing that those who saw it, have not formed the best opinion. Sure, it was not a very bad movie but we didn't see a "wonder" on screen.. UyEmDbPtAwg

    "Guardians Of The Galaxy" was definitely one of the most entertaining movies of the last year. On the other hand, Godzilla was underwhelming. I haven't watched any of the "Jump Street" movies yet but I noticed that they have a lot of fans here. However, I was fun of the Tv series. Johnny Depp was quite good.
  11. No.4 Total Points : 53 Nicole Kidman http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-YQH2PWFnlAo/T4SZ5w9QSMI/AAAAAAAAAU4/UcyQDVetEkY/s1600/Nicole%20Kidman%20profile.jpg Nicole Kidman is one of the best actresses ever! She is totally gorgeous and she could be a professional model. However, she is very talented and critics usually praise her acting. She is one of the most popular actresses too. I can't imagine that there are people who don't know her..I think that her performance was great in "Moulin Rouge" and she was totally robbed by Halle Belly (One of the most unfair winnings ever!). She has a wide variety of roles and she has many notable movies in her filmography. However, her latest films were very underwhelming..Nicole Kidman is an Australian actress and film producer. She was born in Honolulu, Hawaii, while her Australian parents were temporarily in the United States on educational visas. Kidman's ancestry includes Scottish, English and Irish heritage. She was enrolled in ballet at three and showed her natural talent for acting in her primary and high school years. She studied at the Victorian College of the Arts in Melbourne, Victoria, and at the Phillip Street Theatre in Sydney, with actress and friend Naomi Watts who had attended the same high school. A regular at the Phillip Street Theatre, she received both encouragement and praise to pursue acting full-time. In 1983, aged 16, Kidman made her film debut in a remake of the Australian holiday season favourite "Bush Christmas". By the end of 1983, she had a supporting role in the television series "Five Mile Creek" and began gaining popularity in the mid-1980s after appearing in several film roles, including "BMX Bandits", "Watch the Shadows Dance", and the romantic comedy "Windrider" (1986), which earned Kidman attention due to her racy scenes. Also during the decade, she appeared in several Australian productions, including the soap opera "A Country Practice" and the miniseries "Vietnam" (1986). In 1988, Kidman appeared in "Emerald City", based on the play of the same name. The Australian film earned her an Australian Film Institute for "Best Supporting Actress". Kidman next starred with Sam Neill in "Dead Calm" (1989). The thriller garnered strong reviews and brought Kidman to international recognition! She followed that up with the Australian miniseries "Bangkok Hilton". She next moved on to star alongside her then-boyfriend and future husband, Tom Cruise, in the 1990 auto racing film "Days of Thunder". It was Kidman's American debut and was among the highest-grossing films of the year! In 1991, she co-starred with former classmate and friend Naomi Watts and Thandie Newton in the Australian independent film "Flirting". Kidman and Watts portrayed two high school girls in this coming of age story, which won the Australian Film Institute Award for Best Film. That same year, her work in the film "Billy Bathgate" earned Kidman her first Golden Globe Award nomination, for "Best Supporting Actress". The following year, she and Cruise re-teamed for Ron Howard's Irish epic "Far and Away" (1992). In 1993, she starred in the thriller "Malice" opposite Alec Baldwin and the drama "My Life" opposite Michael Keaton. In 1995, Kidman appeared in her highest-grossing live-action film (as of 2011), playing Dr. Chase Meridian in the superhero film "Batman Forever". The same year Kidman appeared in Gus Van Sant's critically acclaimed "To Die For", earning praise, including winning her first Golden Globe for her portrayal of murderous newscaster Suzanne Stone Maretto. Kidman next appeared in "The Portrait of a Lady" (1996), based on the novel the same name. The following year she appeared in the action-thriller "The Peacemaker" (1997), opposite George Clooney. The same year she appeared opposite Sandra Bullock in "Practical Magic" as a modern-day witch. In 1999, Kidman reunited with then husband, Tom Cruise, to portray a married couple in "Eyes Wide Shut", the final film of Stanley Kubrick. After brief hiatus and a highly publicized divorce from Cruise, Kidman returned to the screen to play a mail-order bride in the British-American drama "Birthday Girl". In 2001, Kidman appeared in two of her most critically and commercially successful films. In the first she played the cabaret actress and courtesan Satine in Baz Luhrmann's musical "Moulin Rouge!", opposite Ewan McGregor. Subsequently, Kidman received her second Golden Globe Award, for "Best Actress in a Motion Picture Musical or Comed"y, as well as other acting awards. She also received her first Academy Award nomination, for "Best Actress".

That same year she appeared in the black comedy-science-fiction film "The Stepford Wives", a remake of the 1975 film of the same name. The following year, Kidman appeared opposite Sean Penn in the Sydney Pollack thriller "The Interpreter". Also that year, she starred in "Bewitched", based on the 1960s TV sitcom of the same name, opposite Will Ferrell. Both Kidman and Ferrell earned that year's Razzie Award for "Worst Screen Couple". Neither film fared well in the United States, with box office sales falling well short of the production costs, but both films performed well internationally. She made a reported US$14.5 million in 2004–2005. On People magazine's list of 2005's highest paid actresses, Kidman was second behind Julia Roberts, with US$16–17 million per-film price tag.

In 2007, she starred in the science-fiction movie "The Invasion" directed by Oliver Hirschbiegel, a remake of the 1956 "Invasion of the Body Snatchers" that proved a critical and commercial failure. She also played opposite Jennifer Jason Leigh and Jack Black in Noah Baumbach's comedy-drama "Margot at the Wedding", released to positive reviews and earning Kidman a Satellite Award nomination for "Best Actress – Musical or Comedy". She then starred in the commercially successful fantasy-adventure, "The Golden Compass" (2007).

In April 2012, various sources, including Variety, announced that Kidman was in talks to star in upcoming Grace Kelly biopic "Grace of Monaco". It was released in 2014. Nicole has also two popular songs in U.k. Her collaboration with Ewan McGregor on "Come What May" peaked at No. 27 in the UK Singles Chart. Later she collaborated with Robbie Williams on "Somethin' Stupid", a cover version for Williams' swing covers album "Swing When You're Winning". It peaked at No. 8 in the Australian ARIAnet Singles Chart, and at No. 1 for three weeks in the UK!!! She has been a Goodwill Ambassador for UNICEF since 1994. and for UNIFEM since 2006. She has been married twice: previously to actor Tom Cruise, and currently to country singer Keith Urban. She has an adopted son and daughter with Cruise as well as two biological daughters with Urban. Eight members had this incredible woman on their lists. Two of them gave a 10! I have watched many of her movies because I'm a big fan of hers : Dead Calm (Very good movie/It has a lot of tension and suspense/Nicole was really good), Far and Away (One of my favourite movies of the 90's), Batman Forever (Quite good, I need to watch it again), The Peacemaker (Nice action film), Practical Magic (It wasn't a great movie but it's quite entertaining), Eyes Wide Shut (One of the most overrated films ever! Senseless), Moulin Rouge! (Great performances/nice story/amazing cinematography/the production design was suberb), The Others (One of my favourite movies of the last decade/Great horror-thriller film), Birthday Girl (I enjoyed it but I have to admit that it's a little bit weak), The Hours (Great perfromances, great cast), Dogville (One of my favourite movies of the last decade/The concept was f*ckin genius), The Human Stain (It wasn't bad but it's a little bit boring and static), Cold Mountain (Great performances, intriguing story), The Stepford Wives (Hollywood Alert!), Birth (Disappointing/ The kid was spoiled and unlikeable), The Interpreter (Decent Movie), Bewitched (It was funny in some parts but I prefer the Tv sitcom), The Invasion (Underwhelming), Australia (The cinematography is great but there's something missing), Nine (It isn't the best musical but it has some good singing parts), Rabbit Hole (Her performance was really great/Very emotional story), Just Go with It (I really enjoyed this movie. I laughed a lot. However, Nicole was nominated for "Worst Supporting Actress" that year), Before I Go to Sleep (Decent movie but its ending is full of clichés) and Grace of Monaco (The production design was very good, the photography was great but the story and Nicole's performance were full of clichés). I would suggest you to watch : "Dead Calm" because it's definitely one of her best movies, "Far and Away" because she had chemistry with Tom Cruise (:P) and the story is quite good, "Moulin Rouge!" because it's one of the best musical ever and it defined the 00's, "The Others" because it's one of the most unpredictable horror/thriller films ever, "The Hours" because it was one of the most critically acclaimed movies of the 00's, "Dogville" because it was one of the most riveting movies of the last decade, "Cold Mountain" because it has great cinematography and performances and "Rabbit Hole" because Nicole gave a briliant performance and you 'll recosinder your opinion about her..
  12. Nicole Kidman is really a great actress but she doesn't always choose the best roles..Her latest movies are very underwhelming. Sandra Bullock was never overrated. She has always been the sweet Hollywood actress based on her roles. Critics rarely praise her acting or her movies. However, she was really great in "Gravity" and she was very good in "Crash". I haven't watched "Blind Side" yet. What is your Top 5? I thought that Nicole and Sandra have many fans in Greece.. :D Nicole Kidman has a large fan base (both men and women) and her movies are always popular here. If we make a "likeability rate", I'm sure that Sandra will be the winner. She is adorable..Even her Oscar speech was adorable..I wouldn't say that she is one of the greatest actresses ever but Hollywood would be poor without her... We need entertaining movies and actresses like her. Ok, I see that you don't like her but she is not a bad actress. I agree that Julianne Moore is very underrated but do you know what is her opinion about Jennifer Lawrence..?

    Very interesting. I don't know many of them : "Obvious Child", "Frank", "We Are The Best", "20 Feet From Stardom", "The Way He Looks", "Skeleton Twins", "Mr Turner", "The Wind Rises", "Calvary", "Jimmy's Hall", "Only Lovers Left Alive", "Mood Indigo", "What We Do In The Shadows", "Labor Day", "The Rover", "The Congress", "Black Sea", "Tracks", "Cold in July" and "In order of Disappearance". I guess that U.k has a wider variety of movies than Greece.. :P . I wanted to watch "The Drop" and "Blue Ruin" but my friends and I finally decided to watch other movies when they were released in my country. "The Babadook" was never released in my country. What is this unlimited card? Did you pay a lot of money for it? I'm very curious for your rank because we watched almost the same movies. However, I didn't find any bad or boring film in your list. European productions are always hit or miss because they have really great/brilliant movies but they have very boring movies too. On the other hand, Hollywood movies can be very sillly, childish or fake but they are rarely boring..Of course, I didn't mean all of them. "A New York Winter's Tale"/Do you mean the movie with Colin Farrell? Do you like horror films? I asked you because I didn't see any of them in your list. I don't know P.K.. :unsure: "12 Years A Slave" was my favourite movie last year. It's very emotional story with groundbreaking performances. I feel that "Lucy" had very disappointing ending. I had the same feelings about "Gone Girl" too. I guess that "Ouija" is one of your worst movies ever.. :P Look, it's not "the epitome of seventh art" but it's not very bad too. The leading actress was decent. However, "Annabelle" is much better than it! I haven't watched "The Purge" and "The Purge: Anarchy" too. They were never released in my country. Her absence in the Golden Globes was a bad joke..Shailene was really great! I don't know why they always snub teenage films in these ceremonies. I know that the majority of members are very old but this doesn't mean that they cannot apreciate a good teenage film. Furthermore, "The Fault in Our Stars" isn't the typical teenage film. It's full of social messages about death, love, friendship etc. It's much better than senseless and unbalanced movies in which critics always find something interesting.. :puke2:

    I think that you watched many movies too! Your list is very good! "Belle" and "The Imitation Game" haven't released in my country yet. However, they will be released this Thursday! "Tammy" never had an official release here. I don't know why it always happens to Melissa McCarthy movies. It happened the same with "The Intentity Thief" and "The Heat". I watched the first movie of the year yesterday (The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies). I'm going to watch "Unbroken" today. However, I'm not sure if I will beat my 2014 list this year. It's my personal record so far. "Boyhood" is also one of my favourite movies of the year. I really liked "Maleficent" and "X-Men: Days of Future Past". They totally deserved their big success! I don't know which movie is "The Identical"..? I'm not sure if it had a official release here. You watched so many movies too. Your list have many notable movies! However, I noticed some unknown movies to me. I guess that they were very popular in U.K (The Inbetweeners 2, What We Did On Our Holidays, Nativity 3: Dude Where's My Donkey).
  17. So, four amazing actresses are in the Top 4!!! They received more than 50 points!!! Could you guess who of them is the winner of this rate? Could you guess who of them was so close to the first place? I will post their acceptance speeches here. -hTTwSQPmMo D0FWFQpnZ54 DSHOcJzXVwg PxzQSWx9IGs
  18. No.5 Total Points : 45 Julianne Moore http://www.hush.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/4d2749b3be44f950bbf50553c4392695.jpg Julianne Moore is one of the most important and talented actresses of her generation! She has a wide variety of roles and critics usulaly praise her acting! I didn't expect her to be so high in this rate but I'm glad that she has a lot of fans here. She totally deserves it. She hasn't won an Academy Award yet. However, I heard that she is one of the big contenders this year. I hope so..Julianne Moore is an American actress and children's author. She considers herself half Scottish and claimed British citizenship in 2011 to honor her deceased mother. When she was 16, her family moved to Frankfurt, Germany, where she attended Frankfurt American High School. She was clever and studious, a self-proclaimed "good girl", and she planned to become a doctor. She had never considered performing, or even attended the theatre, but she was an avid reader and it was this hobby that led her to begin acting at the school. She appeared in several plays, including "Tartuffe" and "Medea", and with the encouragement of her English teacher she chose to pursue a theatrical career. Moore's parents supported her decision, but asked that she train at university to provide the added security of a college degree. She was accepted to Boston University and graduated with a BFA in Theatre in 1983. Her first screen role came in 1984, in an episode of the soap opera "The Edge of Night". Her break came the following year, when she joined the cast of "As the World Turns". Moore appeared on the show until 1988, when she won a "Daytime Emmy Award for Outstanding Ingenue in a Drama Series". Once she had finished on the soap opera, she turned to the stage to play Ophelia in a Guthrie Theater production of "Hamlet". The actress sporadically returned to television over the next three years, appearing in the TV movies "Money, Power, Murder" (1989), "The Last to Go" (1991), and "Cast a Deadly Spell" (1991). In 1990, Moore began working with stage director Andre Gregory on a workshop theatre production of Chekhov's "Uncle Vanya". The same year, Moore made her cinematic debut in "Tales from the Darkside: The Movie", playing a mummy's victim. Her next film role did not come until 1992, but introduced her to a wide audience. The thriller "The Hand That Rocks the Cradle"—in which she played the main character's friend—was number one at the US box office, and Moore caught the attention of several critics with her performance. She followed it the same year with the comedy "The Gun in Betty Lou's Handbag". Moore continued to play supporting roles throughout 1993, firstly appearing in the Madonna flop "Body of Evidence", which she later regretted, and then in the romantic comedy "Benny & Joon"with Johnny Depp. She also appeared briefly as a doctor in one of the year's biggest hits, the Harrison Ford thriller "The Fugitive". The filmmaker Robert Altman saw Moore in Uncle Vanya, and was sufficiently impressed to cast her in his next project: the ensemble drama "Short Cuts"(1993). It was critically acclaimed, and received awards for "Best Ensemble Cast" at the Venice Film Festival and the Golden Globe Awards. Moore received an individual nomination for "Best Supporting Female" at the Independent Spirit Awards, while the monologue earned her a degree of notoriety. "Short Cuts" was one of a trio of successive film appearances that boosted Moore's reputation. It was followed in 1994 with "Vanya on 42nd Street", a filmed version of her ongoing Vanya production, directed by Louis Malle. Moore's performance of Yelena was described as "simply outstanding" by Time Out, and she won the Boston Society of Film Critics award for Best Actress. Moore was then given her first leading role in Todd Haynes' low-budget film "Safe" (1995). Moore's next appearance was a supporting role in the comedy–drama "Roommates" (1995). Her following film, "Nine Months" (1995), was crucial in establishing her as a leading lady in Hollywood. It was poorly reviewed but a box office success and remains one of her highest grossing films. Her next release was also a Hollywood production, as Moore appeared alongside Sylvester Stallone and Antonio Banderas in the thriller "Assassins" (1995). Moore's only appearance of 1996 was as the artist Dora Maar in the Merchant Ivory film "Surviving Picasso", which met with poor reviews. A key point in Moore's career came when she was cast by Steven Spielberg to star as paleontologist Dr. Sarah Harding in "The Lost World: Jurassic Park"—the sequel to his 1993 blockbuster "Jurassic Park". "The Lost World" (1997) finished as one of the ten highest-grossing films in history to that point. "The Myth of Fingerprints" was her second appearance of 1997, where she met her future husband in director Bart Freundlich. Later that year, she made a cameo appearance in the dark comedy "Chicago Cab". Her first Academy Award nomination came for the critically acclaimed "Boogie Nights" (1997). Alongside her Oscar nomination for "Best Supporting Actress", Moore was nominated at the Golden Globe and Screen Actors Guild awards, and several critics groups named her a winner. Moore followed her success in "Boogie Nights" with a role in the Coen brothers' dark comedy "The Big Lebowski" (1998). The film was not a hit at the time of release but subsequently became a cult classic. At the end of 1998, Moore had a flop with Gus Van Sant's "Psycho", a remake of the classic Alfred Hitchcock film of the same name. After reuniting with Robert Altman for the dark comedy "Cookie's Fortune" (1999), Moore starred in "An Ideal Husband"—Oliver Parker's adaptation of the Oscar Wilde play. She earned a Golden Globe nomination for "Best Actress in a Musical or Comedy". She was also nominated in the Drama category that year for her work in "The End of the Affair" (1999). Moore received her second Academy Award nomination for the role—her first for Best Actress—as well as nominations at the British Academy (BAFTA) and Screen Actors Guild (SAG) awards. In between her two Golden Globe-nominated performances, Moore was seen in "A Map of the World", supporting Sigourney Weaver, as a bereaved mother. Her fifth and final film of 1999 was the acclaimed drama "Magnolia". She was subsequently named "Best Supporting Actress" of 1999 by the National Board of Review, in recognition of her three performances in "Magnolia", "An Ideal Husband", and "A Map of the World". The year 2000 saw only one appearance from Moore, a cameo role in the comedy "The Ladies Man". In early 2001, she appeared as FBI Agent Clarice Starling in "Hannibal", a sequel to the Oscar winning film "The Silence of the Lambs". Jodie Foster had declined to reprise the role, and director Ridley Scott eventually cast Moore over Angelina Jolie, Cate Blanchett, Gillian Anderson, and Helen Hunt. In three more 2001 releases, Moore starred with David Duchovny in the science fiction–comedy "Evolution", appeared in her husband's dramatic film "World Traveler", and acted with Kevin Spacey, Judi Dench, and Cate Blanchett in "The Shipping News". The year 2002 marked a high point in Moore's career, as she became the ninth performer in history to be nominated for two Academy Awards in the same year. She received a "Best Actress" nomination for the melodrama "Far from Heaven". The role won Moore the "Best Actress" award from 19 different organizations, including the Venice Film Festival and the National Board of Review. Moore's second Oscar nomination that year came for "The Hours", which she co-starred in with Nicole Kidman and Meryl Streep. "The Hours" was nominated for nine Academy Awards, including Best Picture. Moore also received BAFTA and SAG Award nominations for "Best Supporting Actress", and was jointly awarded the Silver Bear for "Best Actress" with Kidman and Streep at the Berlin Film Festival. Moore did not make any screen appearances in 2003, but returned in 2004 with three films. There was no success in her first two ventures of the year: "Marie and Bruce" and "Laws of Attraction". Commercial success returned to Moore with "The Forgotten". Although the film was unpopular with critics, it opened as the US box office number one. In 2005, Moore worked with her husband for the third time in the comedy "Trust the Man", and starred in the true story of a 1950s housewife, "The Prize Winner of Defiance, Ohio". Her first release of 2006 was "Freedomland", a mystery co-starring Samuel L. Jackson. The response was overwhelmingly negative but her follow-up, Alfonso Cuarón's 'Children of Men" (2006), was highly acclaimed! Moore made her Broadway debut in the world premiere of David Hare's play "The Vertical Hour". Moore played an FBI agent for the second time in "Next" (2007). Next was followed by "Savage Grace" (2007). "I'm Not There" (2007) saw Moore work with Todd Haynes for the third time. In 2008, she starred with Mark Ruffalo in "Blindness", a dystopian thriller from the director Fernando Meirelles. Moore was not seen on screen again until late 2009, with three new releases. She had a supporting role in "The Private Lives of Pippa Lee", and then starred in the erotic thriller "Chloe" with Amanda Seyfried and Liam Neeson. Shortly afterwards, she appeared in the well-received drama "A Single Man". It was named one of the 10 best films of the year by the American Film Institute, and Moore received a fifth Golden Globe nomination for her work. Moore returned to television for the first time in 18 years when she played a guest role in the fourth season of "30 Rock". Her first big-screen appearance of the new decade was "Shelter" (2010). Moore next starred with Annette Bening in the independent film "The Kids Are All Right" (2010). It was widely acclaimed, eventually garnering an Oscar nomination for "Best Picture". "The Kids Are All Right" earned Moore a sixth Golden Globe Award nomination and a second BAFTA nomination for "Best Actress". For her next project, Moore actively looked for another comedy. She had a supporting role in "Crazy, Stupid, Love". Moore was not seen on screens again until March 2012, with a performance that received considerable praise and recognition. She starred in the HBO television film "Game Change", a dramatization of Sarah Palin's 2008 campaign to become Vice President. Although the response to the film was mixed, critics were highly appreciative of Moore's performance. For the first time in her career, she received a Golden Globe, a Primetime Emmy, and a SAG Award. Moore made two film appearances in 2012. The drama "Being Flynn", in which she supported Robert De Niro, had a limited release. Greater success came for "What Maisie Knew". Following her well-received performance in "What Maisie Knew", Moore began 2013 with a supporting role in Joseph Gordon-Levitt's comedy "Don Jon". Her next appearance was a starring role in the comedy "The English Teacher" (2013). In October 2013, she played the demented mother Margaret White in "Carrie", an adaptation of Stephen King's horror novel. Moore stated that she wanted to make the role her own. Moore's first release of 2014 came alongside Liam Neeson in the action–thriller "Non-Stop". In May 2014, she was awarded the Best Actress award at the Cannes Film Festival for portraying Havana Segrand, an aging actress receiving psychotherapy in David Cronenberg's black comedy "Maps to the Stars". Moore's success at Cannes made her the second actress in history, after Juliette Binoche, to win at the "Big Three" film festivals (Cannes, Venice and Berlin). In the third installment of the popular Hunger Games film series, entitled "The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 1" (2014), Moore played the supporting role of President Alma Coin, the leader of a rebellion against The Capitol. The film ranks as her highest-grossing film to date, and she will reprise the role of Coin in the final film of the series.Also in 2014, Moore portrayed the leading role of a linguistic professor diagnosed with early onset Alzheimer's disease in the drama "Still Alice". She received Golden Globe nominations for her roles in both "Maps to the Stars" and "Still Alice". As of December 2014, Moore has several upcoming films. She will star with Jeff Bridges in the fantasy–adventure film "Seventh Son". In addition, she has been cast in the romantic comedy Maggie's Plan, where she will star with Greta Gerwig. She has also committed to star alongside Ellen Page in a feature film adaptation of the documentary "Freeheld", an independent drama based on a true story about a police detective and her same-sex partner. Alongside her acting work, Moore has established a career as a children's author. Her first book, "Freckleface Strawberry", was published in October 2007 and became a New York Times Best Seller. Moore is also politically liberal and supported Barack Obama at the 2008 and 2012 presidential elections. She is a pro-choice activist and sits on the board of advocates for "Planned Parenthood". She is also a campaigner for gay rights, and since 2008 she has been an Artist Ambassador for "Save the Children". Regarding religion, Moore has implied that she is an atheist. Moore has said she finds little value in the concept of celebrity and is concerned with living a "normal" life. Seven members voted this amazing actress! Two of them gave a 10!! I have watched many of her movies so far : The Hand That Rocks the Cradle (Intriguing scipt/ Intense plot), The Fugitive (Decent action movie), Nine Months (Pleasant movie), Boogie Nights (Great directing/Very good performances/Interesting story), The Lost World: Jurassic Park (I'm a huge fan of Jurassic Park. "The Lost Word" has impressive visual effects and powerful sound effects but it's not as good as the first film), The Big Lebowski (I didn't like it when I watched it twelve years ago. I need to watch it again because I have differest taste now..:P), Psycho (I haven't watched the original film yet. Yes, I know...Shame on me! However, it wasn't a bad movie but I can guess why so many critics hate it..), Magnolia (Interesting concept with great cast/Enlightening story/Thought provoking movie), Hannibal (Quite good but it can't touch "The Silence of The Lambs), Evolution (Entertaining movie but it was a little bit silly in some parts), The Shipping News (Lovely movie), World Traveler (It's a meaningful movie/It has something nostalgic), Far from Heaven (Good movie/Julianne was very good), The Hours (Intriguing story/ Very good directing/Great perfromances), The Forgotten (It has mystery and suspense. However, I was very disappointed by the ending), Children of Men (Very good movie), Next (A little bit forgettable), A Single Man (The directing is interesting/Very good performances), Chloe (It wasn't bad but I was disappointed about the ending), What Maisie Knew (Emotional story/Very good performances), Carrie (It was a decent remake. I really like Julianne's perfromance) and The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 1 (It was very slow/It had a few action scenes). I would suggest yo uto watch: "The Hand That Rocks the Cradle" because it's an upredictable movie, 'The Fugitive" because it's an enjoyable movie, "Boogie Nights" because it's a n absorbing movie, Magnolia because it''s a meaningful movie with touching performances, "The Shipping News" because it's a very sensitive movie, "Far from Heaven" because Julianne gave a very good performance, "The Hours" because it's one of the most critically-acclaimed movies of the last decade, "Children of Men" because it's one of the best science fiction thriller of the last decade, "A Single Man" because it has charismatic performances and "What Maisie Knew" because it's one of the best social movies of this decade.

Moore was then given her first leading role in Todd Haynes' low-budget film "Safe" (1995). Moore's next appearance was a supporting role in the comedy–drama "Roommates" (1995). Her following film, "Nine Months" (1995), was crucial in establishing her as a leading lady in Hollywood. It was poorly reviewed but a box office success and remains one of her highest grossing films. Her next release was also a Hollywood production, as Moore appeared alongside Sylvester Stallone and Antonio Banderas in the thriller "Assassins" (1995). Moore's only appearance of 1996 was as the artist Dora Maar in the Merchant Ivory film "Surviving Picasso", which met with poor reviews. A key point in Moore's career came when she was cast by Steven Spielberg to star as paleontologist Dr. Sarah Harding in "The Lost World: Jurassic Park"—the sequel to his 1993 blockbuster "Jurassic Park". "The Lost World" (1997) finished as one of the ten highest-grossing films in history to that point. "The Myth of Fingerprints" was her second appearance of 1997, where she met her future husband in director Bart Freundlich. Later that year, she made a cameo appearance in the dark comedy "Chicago Cab". Her first Academy Award nomination came for the critically acclaimed "Boogie Nights" (1997). Alongside her Oscar nomination for "Best Supporting Actress", Moore was nominated at the Golden Globe and Screen Actors Guild awards, and several critics groups named her a winner. Moore followed her success in "Boogie Nights" with a role in the Coen brothers' dark comedy "The Big Lebowski" (1998). The film was not a hit at the time of release but subsequently became a cult classic. At the end of 1998, Moore had a flop with Gus Van Sant's "Psycho", a remake of the classic Alfred Hitchcock film of the same name. After reuniting with Robert Altman for the dark comedy "Cookie's Fortune" (1999), Moore starred in "An Ideal Husband"—Oliver Parker's adaptation of the Oscar Wilde play. She earned a Golden Globe nomination for "Best Actress in a Musical or Comedy". She was also nominated in the Drama category that year for her work in "The End of the Affair" (1999). Moore received her second Academy Award nomination for the role—her first for Best Actress—as well as nominations at the British Academy (BAFTA) and Screen Actors Guild (SAG) awards. In between her two Golden Globe-nominated performances, Moore was seen in "A Map of the World", supporting Sigourney Weaver, as a bereaved mother. Her fifth and final film of 1999 was the acclaimed drama "Magnolia". She was subsequently named "Best Supporting Actress" of 1999 by the National Board of Review, in recognition of her three performances in "Magnolia", "An Ideal Husband", and "A Map of the World". The year 2000 saw only one appearance from Moore, a cameo role in the comedy "The Ladies Man". In early 2001, she appeared as FBI Agent Clarice Starling in "Hannibal", a sequel to the Oscar winning film "The Silence of the Lambs". Jodie Foster had declined to reprise the role, and director Ridley Scott eventually cast Moore over Angelina Jolie, Cate Blanchett, Gillian Anderson, and Helen Hunt. In three more 2001 releases, Moore starred with David Duchovny in the science fiction–comedy "Evolution", appeared in her husband's dramatic film "World Traveler", and acted with Kevin Spacey, Judi Dench, and Cate Blanchett in "The Shipping News". The year 2002 marked a high point in Moore's career, as she became the ninth performer in history to be nominated for two Academy Awards in the same year. She received a "Best Actress" nomination for the melodrama "Far from Heaven". The role won Moore the "Best Actress" award from 19 different organizations, including the Venice Film Festival and the National Board of Review. Moore's second Oscar nomination that year came for "The Hours", which she co-starred in with Nicole Kidman and Meryl Streep. "The Hours" was nominated for nine Academy Awards, including Best Picture. Moore also received BAFTA and SAG Award nominations for "Best Supporting Actress", and was jointly awarded the Silver Bear for "Best Actress" with Kidman and Streep at the Berlin Film Festival. Moore did not make any screen appearances in 2003, but returned in 2004 with three films. There was no success in her first two ventures of the year: "Marie and Bruce" and "Laws of Attraction". Commercial success returned to Moore with "The Forgotten". Although the film was unpopular with critics, it opened as the US box office number one. In 2005, Moore worked with her husband for the third time in the comedy "Trust the Man", and starred in the true story of a 1950s housewife, "The Prize Winner of Defiance, Ohio". Her first release of 2006 was "Freedomland", a mystery co-starring Samuel L. Jackson. The response was overwhelmingly negative but her follow-up, Alfonso Cuarón's 'Children of Men" (2006), was highly acclaimed! Moore made her Broadway debut in the world premiere of David Hare's play "The Vertical Hour". Moore played an FBI agent for the second time in "Next" (2007). Next was followed by "Savage Grace" (2007). "I'm Not There" (2007) saw Moore work with Todd Haynes for the third time. In 2008, she starred with Mark Ruffalo in "Blindness", a dystopian thriller from the director Fernando Meirelles. Moore was not seen on screen again until late 2009, with three new releases. She had a supporting role in "The Private Lives of Pippa Lee", and then starred in the erotic thriller "Chloe" with Amanda Seyfried and Liam Neeson. Shortly afterwards, she appeared in the well-received drama "A Single Man". It was named one of the 10 best films of the year by the American Film Institute, and Moore received a fifth Golden Globe nomination for her work. Moore returned to television for the first time in 18 years when she played a guest role in the fourth season of "30 Rock". Her first big-screen appearance of the new decade was "Shelter" (2010). Moore next starred with Annette Bening in the independent film "The Kids Are All Right" (2010). It was widely acclaimed, eventually garnering an Oscar nomination for "Best Picture". "The Kids Are All Right" earned Moore a sixth Golden Globe Award nomination and a second BAFTA nomination for "Best Actress". For her next project, Moore actively looked for another comedy. She had a supporting role in "Crazy, Stupid, Love". Moore was not seen on screens again until March 2012, with a performance that received considerable praise and recognition. She starred in the HBO television film "Game Change", a dramatization of Sarah Palin's 2008 campaign to become Vice President. Although the response to the film was mixed, critics were highly appreciative of Moore's performance. For the first time in her career, she received a Golden Globe, a Primetime Emmy, and a SAG Award. Moore made two film appearances in 2012. The drama "Being Flynn", in which she supported Robert De Niro, had a limited release. Greater success came for "What Maisie Knew". Following her well-received performance in "What Maisie Knew", Moore began 2013 with a supporting role in Joseph Gordon-Levitt's comedy "Don Jon". Her next appearance was a starring role in the comedy "The English Teacher" (2013). In October 2013, she played the demented mother Margaret White in "Carrie", an adaptation of Stephen King's horror novel. Moore stated that she wanted to make the role her own. Moore's first release of 2014 came alongside Liam Neeson in the action–thriller "Non-Stop". In May 2014, she was awarded the Best Actress award at the Cannes Film Festival for portraying Havana Segrand, an aging actress receiving psychotherapy in David Cronenberg's black comedy "Maps to the Stars". Moore's success at Cannes made her the second actress in history, after Juliette Binoche, to win at the "Big Three" film festivals (Cannes, Venice and Berlin). In the third installment of the popular Hunger Games film series, entitled "The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 1" (2014), Moore played the supporting role of President Alma Coin, the leader of a rebellion against The Capitol. The film ranks as her highest-grossing film to date, and she will reprise the role of Coin in the final film of the series.Also in 2014, Moore portrayed the leading role of a linguistic professor diagnosed with early onset Alzheimer's disease in the drama "Still Alice". She received Golden Globe nominations for her roles in both "Maps to the Stars" and "Still Alice". As of December 2014, Moore has several upcoming films. She will star with Jeff Bridges in the fantasy–adventure film "Seventh Son". In addition, she has been cast in the romantic comedy Maggie's Plan, where she will star with Greta Gerwig. She has also committed to star alongside Ellen Page in a feature film adaptation of the documentary "Freeheld", an independent drama based on a true story about a police detective and her same-sex partner. Alongside her acting work, Moore has established a career as a children's author. Her first book, "Freckleface Strawberry", was published in October 2007 and became a New York Times Best Seller. Moore is also politically liberal and supported Barack Obama at the 2008 and 2012 presidential elections. She is a pro-choice activist and sits on the board of advocates for "Planned Parenthood". She is also a campaigner for gay rights, and since 2008 she has been an Artist Ambassador for "Save the Children". Regarding religion, Moore has implied that she is an atheist. Moore has said she finds little value in the concept of celebrity and is concerned with living a "normal" life. Seven members voted this amazing actress! Two of them gave a 10!! I have watched many of her movies so far : The Hand That Rocks the Cradle (Intriguing scipt/ Intense plot), The Fugitive (Decent action movie), Nine Months (Pleasant movie), Boogie Nights (Great directing/Very good performances/Interesting story), The Lost World: Jurassic Park (I'm a huge fan of Jurassic Park. "The Lost Word" has impressive visual effects and powerful sound effects but it's not as good as the first film), The Big Lebowski (I didn't like it when I watched it twelve years ago. I need to watch it again because I have differest taste now..:P), Psycho (I haven't watched the original film yet. Yes, I know...Shame on me! However, it wasn't a bad movie but I can guess why so many critics hate it..), Magnolia (Interesting concept with great cast/Enlightening story/Thought provoking movie), Hannibal (Quite good but it can't touch "The Silence of The Lambs), Evolution (Entertaining movie but it was a little bit silly in some parts), The Shipping News (Lovely movie), World Traveler (It's a meaningful movie/It has something nostalgic), Far from Heaven (Good movie/Julianne was very good), The Hours (Intriguing story/ Very good directing/Great perfromances), The Forgotten (It has mystery and suspense. However, I was very disappointed by the ending), Children of Men (Very good movie), Next (A little bit forgettable), A Single Man (The directing is interesting/Very good performances), Chloe (It wasn't bad but I was disappointed about the ending), What Maisie Knew (Emotional story/Very good performances), Carrie (It was a decent remake. I really like Julianne's perfromance) and The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 1 (It was very slow/It had a few action scenes). I would suggest yo uto watch: "The Hand That Rocks the Cradle" because it's an upredictable movie, 'The Fugitive" because it's an enjoyable movie, "Boogie Nights" because it's a n absorbing movie, Magnolia because it''s a meaningful movie with touching performances, "The Shipping News" because it's a very sensitive movie, "Far from Heaven" because Julianne gave a very good performance, "The Hours" because it's one of the most critically-acclaimed movies of the last decade, "Children of Men" because it's one of the best science fiction thriller of the last decade, "A Single Man" because it has charismatic performances and "What Maisie Knew" because it's one of the best social movies of this decade.
  20. Favourite No.1 "Dark Horse" Favourite No.2 "Drunk in Love" Favourite No.3 "Habits"
  21. Insomnio posted a post in a topic in Personal Charts
    Lol. I will finish it this week. However, your love (Amy Adams) was quite close to the Top 10.. They are disappointed because Madonna had great songs in the past. All of them are quite bad in comparison with the majority of her singles. She was my second favourite artist 15 years ago.
  22. "Just Like A Pill" is one of the best songs of the last decade. "Don't Let Me Get Me" is not one of them though..
  23. "Countdown" is my least favourite of them.
  24. No.6 Total Points : 45 Jennifer Lawrence http://www.moviecricket.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/Nude-Jennifer-Lawrence-Photos-Leaked-By-Hacker-With-More-To-Come.jpg Jennifer Lawrence is the youngest actress in the Top 10! She is one of the most talented actresses of her generation and she has already a large fanbase all around the world. I was sure that she would end up so high in this rate! It was obvious based on her popularity the latest years. She has also a very funny personality and she looks stunning in her photos. She is an American actress. By the age of 14, she had decided to pursue an acting career, persuading her parents to take her to New York City to find a talent agent. In July 2007, Lawrence started her acting career as a teenager in the TBS comedy series "The Bill Engvall Show", playing Lauren Pearson, the oldest daughter. "The Bill Engvall Show", including Lawrence, won a Young Artist Award for Outstanding Young Performers in a TV Series at their 2009 award show and Lawrence was nominated for Best Performance in a TV Series (Comedy or Drama), but did not win. In 2007, she auditioned for the role of Bella Swan in "Twilight", but the role went to Kristen Stewart. In 2008, she appeared in a small role in the film "Garden Party" as Tiff. Lawrence had the role of Agnes in "The Poker House". She was awarded the Los Angeles Film Festival Award for "Best Performance" in the Narrative Competition in 2008 for her role in the film. This was followed by an appearance in Guillermo Arriaga's film directorial debut "The Burning Plain", opposite Charlize Theron and Kim Basinger. Her performance in the film earned her the Marcello Mastroianni Award for best emerging actor/actress at the Venice Film Festival in 2008. She appeared in the music video for the song "The Mess I Made", from the band Parachute's 2009 album Losing Sleep. Lawrence's lead role in Debra Granik's "Winter's Bone", which won best picture at the Sundance Film Festival in 2010, is often cited as a breakout performance for her. The performance was highly acclaimed by film critics! Receiving accolades for her performance, Lawrence was awarded the National Board of Review Award for "Best Breakthrough Performance". She received a nomination for the Academy Award for "Best Actress" on January 25, 2011. Also in 2011, Lawrence co-starred in the independent film "Like Crazy", which premiered at the 2011 Sundance Film Festival. She starred as shape-shifting villain, Mystique, alongside James McAvoy and Michael Fassbender in X-Men: First Class, a prequel to the rest of the X-Men film series. In 2011, Lawrence appeared in "The Beaver", a dark comedy starring Jodie Foster and Mel Gibson. In 2012, Lawrence starred as Katniss Everdeen in the film "The Hunger Games", based on the best-selling novel of the same name by Suzanne Collins. Despite being a fan of the books, Lawrence took three days to accept the role because she was initially intimidated by the size of the movie and how it might affect her career. The film was released on March 23, 2012, and set a record for the third-largest opening weekend, making a record-breaking $152.5 million in three days for a non-sequel film. In November 2012, she played the recently widowed Tiffany Maxwell in David O. Russell's "Silver Linings Playbook", an adaptation of the novel of the same name by Matthew Quick, opposite Bradley Cooper and Robert De Niro. She received critical praise for her performance in the film! She won the Academy Award and Golden Globe Award for "Best Actress" for her performance in the film. She also starred alongside Max Thieriot and Elisabeth Shue in Mark Tonderai's thriller "House at the End of the Street". In 2013, she reprised her role as Katniss Everdeen in "The Hunger Games: Catching Fire". It became a major commercial and critical success. Lawrence also played Rosalyn Rosenfeld, a supporting role in David O. Russell's crime drama "American Hustle". She received critical acclaim for her performance and was nominated for "Best Supporting Actress" by the Screen Actors Guild and the Critics' Choice Awards. She won the Golden Globe for "Best Supporting Actress"on January 12, 2014. She also received the BAFTA Award for "Best Actress in a Supporting Role" and a third Academy Award nomination, her first for a supporting role, becoming the youngest actress to have three nominations. In 2014, Lawrence again played Mystique, in the film "X-Men: Days of Future Past", with James McAvoy and Michael Fassbender. She reprised her role as Katniss Everdeen in the film adaptations of the final Hunger Games book, Mockingjay. For the musical score of the first Mockingjay film, she was featured on a song titled "The Hanging Tree", which reached the top 40 on multiple international singles charts. Her latest film is "Serena". In 2013 she was named one of the 100 most influential people in the world by Time. In 2014, Lawrence was ranked #1 on the FHM 100 Sexiest Women in the World list. In August 2014, Lawrence was named the second-highest-paid actress in Hollywood behind Sandra Bullock. Jennifer Lawrence is also notable for her philanthropy. She is active in charities such as the World Food Programme, Feeding America, and The Thirst Project. Lawrence is an official ambassador of the Special Olympics, the world's largest sports organization for children and adults with intellctual disabilities. Lawrence has created the Jennifer Lawrence Foundation, which supports charities such as the Screen Actors Guild Foundation, Special Olympics, and Do Something, a non-profit organization with the goal of motivating young people to take action around social changes. Six members had this amazing woman on their lists. One of them gave a 10! I have watched many of her films so far: Winter's Bone (Her performance is really great/It has intriguing script), X-Men: First Class (One of my favourite movies that year/ I totally loved the story), The Hunger Games (Amazing action film), House at the End of the Street (It's not great but it's watchable), Silver Linings Playbook (Very good performances, funny story with some emotional parts), The Hunger Games: Catching Fire (Impressive visual effects, incredible sound effects/It has a lot of action), American Hustle (It's quite good but it's one of the most overrated films ever), X-Men: Days of Future Past (One of the best blockbusters of the last year) and The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 1 (A little bit boring in some parts. However, it has some powerful scenes like "The Hanging Tree"). I would suggest you to watch "Winter's Bone" because it's a very good independent drama film, "X-Men: First Class" because these superheroes are the best, "The Hunger Games" because it has one of the best action heroines, "Silver Linings Playbook" because it has an original script with notable performances, "The Hunger Games: Catching Fire" because it's a great sequel, "American Hustle" because it has a great cast and "X-Men: Days of Future Past" because anyone can beat this amazing team!
