quick interesting news: Black Swan is a Venice Film Festival sensation; a new Buried trailer; Gordon-Levitt and Johansson may become a zombie couple;

Darren Aronofsky's Black Swan is a sensation in Venice Film Festival. Actually, the movie is getting raves and I would say that all of them highly praised Natalie Portman's performance, making her one of the Best Actress Oscar Race best positionated actresses - a serious contender to a nomination and (who knows) to take a golden statue home! Soon we will receive some news about other interesting projects that will be shown in Venice (Sofia Coppola's Somewhere, Julian Schnabel's Miral, Ben Affleck's The Town, between others).
"Go, Natalie! Go! I will keep my fingers crossed for you: your talent deserves to be recognize once more!" - just sayin'!

There's another Buried (directed by Rodrigo Cortés and starring Ryan Reynolds) movie trailer and the movie seems awesome! Just check out:

I think I will pay a ticket to see Buried! - a movie like this one is something rare nowadays and I really need a good suspense movie.

Joseph Gordon-Levitt (Mysterious Skin; (500)Days of Love; Inception;) and Scarlett Johansson (Lost In Translation; Match Point; Iron Man 2;) may soon star a movie about zombies who live in a society that reject them and denies their rights (Breathers: A Zombie’s Lament based on S.G. Browne’s 2009 novel of the same name). The project will be produced by Diablo Cody (the Academy Award winner screenwriter of Juno) and the written by Geoff Latulippe (who wrote the upcoming Going the Distance).

Well, it seems interesting, but I think it can be a failure if it won't get a good director and it seems that both Gordon-Levitt and Johansson will only join the project when they know who will direct them. I would suggest a JasonReitman&DiabloCody collaboration, but I'm a little bit sceptical about this in spite of the movie basic idea being good!

TOP 35 Actors and Actresses Under 35 Working Today - 2017

The almost annual TOP 35 Actors and Actresses Under 35 Working Today is out, with me considering the performers' performances of 2016 also. We have a few changes since last year's list, with Greta Gerwig toping the list thanks to her last 3 great performances in Mistress America , Maggie's Plan and the Oscar buzzy acting turn in 20th Century Women . Scarlett Johansson comes second with her latest distinguished performance being in 2014 ( Under the Skin ), but she managed to be at the spotligh this year thanks to her fine turns in critically acclaimed movies: Hail, Caesar! , Captain America: Civil War , The Jungle Book (voice) and Sing (voice). Emily Blunt adds another great performance to her resume in The Girl on the Train and she comes third, while Elle Fanning 's turning into one of the finest actresses and she's getting to play more adult and complex parts like The Neon Demon and 20th Century Women 's (her two best performances since Super 8 ).

TOP 10 Most Promising Movie Actors (under 30)

Today I discussed about how awful some "teen icons" are and then we talked about some exceptions. So, I decided to make a little list, a TOP 10, with the male actors that I think that will become music in an ocean of noise somewhere in the future (I did one list before, but it was a little bit pathetic and I didn't justify my choices). Let's start... 1 - Ryan Gosling He may not have a huge list of movies in his body of work, but the few times he makes something, all the time he almost carries the movie. In fact, Gosling is a proof that talent does exist and that you don't need excentrical characters to receive raves. He rose to fame after the big screen adaptation of The Notebook (2004) and then received lots of critical praise for his performances in movies like Half Nelson (that gave him an Oscar, a SAG Award and other major awards nominations), Lars and the Real Girl (that gave him a Golden Globe, a SAG Award and other major awards nominations) and Fractur...

TOP 35 Actors and Actresses with or under 35 years old: 2018

I think it was my TOP 35 under 35 list I've ever done since I remember: so many great performers emerged last year with distinguished performances that elevated their previous works (I'm talking about Elizabeth Olsen , Lucas Hedges , Robert Pattinson , Gaspard Ulliel , Tessa Thompson or Jamie Bell , for example). I'm kinda sad I felt "forced" at letting Jonah Hill ( Moneyball and The Wolf of Wall Street ) and Emma Watson ( The Perks of Being a Wallflower , The Bling Ring and 2017's Beauty and the Beast ) out of the list. Congratulations to Kirsten Dunst , who turned 35 last year so she can not be included in this year's list - such an amazing child actress turned movie star, who delivered memorable performances in Interview with the Vampire (1994), The Virgin Suicides (1999), The Cat's Meow (2002) or Melancholia (2011). This year, Saoirse Ronan tops the list thanks to two great performances: On Chesil Beach and an iconic acting turn in Lad...
