August: Osage County

Isn’t this always true! Even more so as we struggle through January which really is the longest month of the year!

7 Greatest Performances: Julia Roberts

Oscar Winner
Oscar winner for Erin Brockovich

You may or not be aware that Julia Roberts is my all time favourite actress (Sorry Meryl/Catherine Zeta Jones) so I thought I would start a new series of blog posts 7 Greatest Performances and who better to start with than Julia Roberts? This will be looking at the best performances from different actors rather than judging just the film. I thought this would create some very good and interesting lists, as the greatest performances are not necessarily in the best films. This comes on the back of seeing Wonder over the weekend which I thought she was just amazing in!

RIP Sam Shepard

The news broke earlier today that actor and playwright Sam Shepard has passed away at the age of 72.

Even though he had a small role in August: Osage County but I totally loved him in that and have enjoyed the other performances of his I have seen as well.

Thoughts go out to his family and friends, Rest In Peace.

7 Worst Film Mothers

As it is Mother’s Day (in the UK at least) I decided that I would then pick my 7 worst film mothers. You certainly would not want any of these to be your mother as they certainly did not help their children have, but some of them might just redeem themselves in the end?

Kate – Home Alone

Leaving your son behind when heading on holiday is a pretty awful thing to do. Kevin had an amazing time being home all alone after his whole family jetted off for Christmas without him. We will give it to Kate that she had a feeling something was wrong, but not checking you have all your children was a very bad move. I guess airports have changed a lot since the early 90s and they wouldn’t get that far to this day. We will give her points for doing everything she can to then get back to Kevin as soon as possible.

7 Meryl Streep Performances that Deserved to Win an Oscar

Meryl Streep is the most nominated actress of all time, a massive 19 nominations to which she has won 3 times. She won for her roles in The Iron Lady and Sophie’s Choice as a leading actress and Kramer vs Kramer as a supporting actress.

This year she picked up a nomination for actress in a supporting role as the Witch in ‘Into the Woods’ in recent years Streep has quickly become one of my all time favourite actresses. It might seem like an obvious choice with her critical acclaim but I really do think she actually deserves every single piece of it. She is different in each of her film roles and brings something to each character she has played on-screen.

Top 10 – Best 2013 Films

This has taken much longer than normal to get my best films of 2013 list up on Let’s Go To The Movies. Have a look here to see the films I managed to see at the cinema in 2013, obviously this list is all my opinion and mainly features the films I enjoyed the most. I will try my best to explain why I have chosen each film! It turned out to be a bit trickier than I first expected and probably could have easily chosen a top 15 films list and still struggled on which to omit, but I was ruthless and have my top 10 best films of 2013.

I have written a little about each film and reasons why I have put them on this list.

I have also put a link to the full review which would have been done within days of first seeing the film!

August: Osage County (2013) Review

The Weston family are brought back together when their father disappears, having to deal with their drug addicted mother who is suffering from cancer. An extremely dysfunctional family, by the end you will be shocked by how many ways!

7 Films I am looking forward to in 2013

You may be thinking wait a minute it’s already 2013. But I thought I would have a look at the rest of the year and pick the 7 films I am most looking forward too. These choices vary depending on how I think the film looks, or even ones which have my favorite actors or actresses in them. Some I have honestly been looking forward to since they were first announced, and others I have come across very recently.

What are you looking forward to for the rest of 2013?
