But, I don't think I'll like 'Grace' because I have never had any interest in Grace Kelly or the Princess of Monaco stuff. Maybe I'm in the minority, but, I don't think anyone could make me interested in that story. It probably has great costumes is the best thing I can say about it. It also seems to me that January Jones would make an outstanding Princess Grace. (I'm a January fan too, I like the Ice Queen.) But, this doesn't seem to suit Nicole Kidman and I'm afraid it will be so bad and boring that she'll get all these bad reviews knocking her acting skills and I'll get mad as a fan of hers. Nicole IS talented, she just needs roles that fit her, like 'The Others', one of my favorite scary movies. Princess Grace of Monaco? Not interested..at all. Even with Nicole Kidman. And someone please stop her from ruining her beautiful face with Botox and stuff. Please.
Watch the trailer and tell me if YOU think you'd pay to see that. Is anyone fascinated by Grace?? BTW, it says in that article that Nicole turned down and Oscar winning role and Kate Winslet got it (and the Oscar) because it was Holocaust stuff (The Reader) and she thought it would permeate and affect the baby she was carrying. I totally get that and agree. Call me superstitious. I wouldn't have done it either for the same reasons.
I have to put in this, though it's off subject, I just saw Revolutionary Road with Kate Winslet and Leo Decaprio. I'm not into Winslet, but, I love Leonardo. That movie sucked so bad. The director tried to show how boring suburban early 60's life was. Well, he succeeded. In fact, he was so good at it, it bored the shit out of me and I love minutia. I love stories just about people and I love period backgrounds. But, this was so ridiculously slow and mind numbing I couldn't handle it. Also, there is NO chemistry at all between Winslet and Dicaprio. That was a joke. She looks more like his mom in the film. The director, Sam Mendes, was Kate's husband..I looked it up. Talk about missing the boat because of family ties. Geez.

Not that it matters but the Princess Grace movie played at Cannes and everyone shit on it. It's probably not as lame as the Diana movie with Naomi Watts.
I am interested in Princess Grace. She was so beautiful. But I can't stand Nicole Kidman anymore. She's ruined her face. It's too hard to look at her.
I couldn't agree with you more about Leo and Kate. I've never liked them together. I didn't like their pairing in Titanic. He was too puny and skinny for her. They aren't well suited at all.
I did love the clothes, shoes, accessories and the cars in Revolutionary Road. They, at least, had character!
Ciao!

WTF has she done to her face? I did like her but she votes the equivalent of Republican and that makes her ignorant and conservative and too well off and comfortable and self serving. Yes I think she's lost it a bit as she's matured. Not a Meryl Streep by a long shot. I enjoyed Revolution Road. Then again enjoy? It was pretty depressing. If you want to see a good movie keep an eye out for Grand Budaphest Hotel, that's going to be a cult classic for sure.
Royal, the cars were good. I agree. I thought the clothes were boring. There was a china cabinet almost exactly like that junky one my mom bought me though.
Lia, NO ONE is Meryl Streep. She's one of a kind..and beautiful, BTW. I wrote your movie suggestion down on my 'must see' note. It's stuck to the side of my desk, so I will be looking for that. Thank you! I love movie suggestions.
PS have you seen 'The Others'?
Have you seen "Little Children" with Kate Winslet? I can't remember if the book or movie was better...but I know I liked both many years ago.
No, but, I'll put it on my list, thanks!
