Ms. Cruz

Penélope Cruz turns 35 today... Happy Birthday Ms. Cruz.

In celebration, here are my TOP 5: Penélope Cruz performances...

5.Sofía in Abre los Ojos

4.Macarena in La Niña de Tus Ojos

3.María Elena in Vicky Cristina Barcelona

2.Raimunda in Volver

1.Italia in Non ti Muovere (Don't Move)

Altough she has a pretty underrated career I would say... (She did Good-to-Great performances in Elegy, Jamón Jamón, Todo Sobre Mi Madre, Bendito Infierno, Bandidas y Belle Epoque -haven't seen Los Abrazos Rotos-)

Ave Maria Bellisima!

In celebration of the 42nd Birthday of Maria Bello... here's a Top 5 of her performances ;) with a 5 or less words description of my feelings about it.





5.Polly in Thank You For Smoking... Dependable.

4.Dr. Sabian in Assault on Precinct 13... Better than the film deserves.

3.Marcia in The Sisters... Elevating the material.

2.Natalie in The Cooler... Her real breaktrough.

1.Edie Stall in A History of Violence... Magnificent! Best Actress of 2005.
