Cinema and Popcorn

Since the day The Bling Ring 's teaser trailer was released I couldn't stop thinking about a thing: Sofia Coppola did wonders for her actresses' careers . In The Bling Ring teaser we see Emma Watson (the good and smart Hermione Granger and the damaged Sam from The Perks of Being a Wallflower ) going "sexy bitch"... and I guess it will be simply wonderful for her career! In fact, all the leading ladies of a Sofia Coppola movie must be thankfull to her. They are talented, they are beautiful, they have everything in order to shine in the big-screen for a long time. We should honour Miss Coppola for showing them to the world. While none of the "Coppola girls" got an Academy Award nomination at all (not even for a performance outside the Sofia Coppola filmography), all them delivered amazing turns and became major and well-respected names in the cinema industry. Here's my analisys of each one of the "Coppola girls": Kirsten Dunst   ...

Ain't Them Bodies Saints " Director and writer David Lowery avoids every cliche from the action-thriller, romance and noir handbooks, transmitting a palpable sense of the pain caused by forced absence from a loved one. (...) Bradford Young's stunning cinematography is like a moving canvas (...) Daniel Hart's score makes us feel like we are living through an extended dream of a song. The performances, too, are superb. Casey Affleck, as Bob, shows himself again to be a master of the criminal outsider. (...)  Mara, freed of her dragon tattoo, combines grace with groundedness (...) The supporting cast are pitch-perfect (...) The film is so singular, it's hard to place. At times, its elegiac visual quality evokes Terrence Malick, but Lowery's scripting is tighter and more accessible. His is truly a fresh voice, exhilarating to hear.

Actors and actresses who complete 36 years old this year weren't take in consideration: I know I have to apologize the great Michael Fassbender , Samantha Morton , Jessica Chastain and Tom Hardy . My number 1? Jennifer Lawrence! I must admit it was a difficult decision: Gosling is one of the most brilliant actors working today, but Lawrence shined so bright last year. She proved she is a serious young actress since the first day she appeared in the big-screen:  Jennifer Lawrence is a true movie star and the girl of the moment (and she has a damn awesome personality!) 1.
