Angelina Jolie

Angelina Jolie (born Angelina Jolie Voight on June 4, 1975) is an American film actress, a former fashion model, and a Goodwill Ambassador for the UN Refugee Agency. She is often cited by popular media as one of the world's most beautiful women and her off-screen life is widely reported. She has received three Golden Globe Awards, two Screen Actors Guild Awards, and an Academy Award.Though she made her screen debut as a child alongside her father Jon Voight in the 1982 film Lookin' to Get Out, Jolie's acting career began in earnest a decade later with the low budget production Cyborg 2 (1993). Her first leading role in a major film was in Hackers (1995). She starred in the critically acclaimed biographical films George Wallace (1997) and Gia (1998), and won an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for her performance in the drama Girl, Interrupted (1999). Jolie achieved international fame as a result of her portrayal of videogame heroine Lara Croft in Lara Croft: Tomb Raider (2001), and since then has established herself as one of the best known and highest paid actresses in Hollywood. She had her biggest commercial success with the action-comedy Mr. & Mrs. Smith (2005).Divorced from actors Jonny Lee Miller and Billy Bob Thornton, Jolie currently lives with actor Brad Pitt, in a relationship that has attracted worldwide media attention.[3] Jolie and Pitt have three adopted children, Maddox, Pax, and Zahara. As well as her biological child, Shiloh. Jolie has promoted humanitarian causes throughout the world, and is noted for her work with refugees through UNHCR.

Angelina Jolie has been named the sexiest movie star ever in a new vote carried out by Empireonline.com.The Tomb Raider star defeated V For Vendetta actress Natalie Portman to take the number one spot - previously held by Keira Knightley - while Jolie's husband Brad Pitt was seventh.More than 20,000 people visited the movie magazine's website to cast their votes, with no restrictions on whether the star was still gracing the screen.

Oscar-winning actress Angelina Jolie is known as much for her offscreen romances, adoptions and political activism as for her movie roles. Jolie first made a small splash in 1998, playing doomed model Gia Marie Carangi in the HBO movie Gia. She was a hit as the love interest in the offbeat air-traffic-controller drama Pushing Tin (1999, with John Cusack), but winning an Oscar for her supporting role as a troubled mental patient in the 1999 Winona Ryder film Girl, Interrupted made her a big-time movie star.

Kate Hudson

A favorite female lead in romantic comedies for her outgoing comedic personality and sunny charisma, Kate Hudson avoided the dual dangers a Hollywood upbringing and famous parents; instead earning her own success on the big screen. At the beginning of the new century Hudson was Tinseltown’s reigning nouveau hippie chick, a sensibility likely passed down from flower power mom Goldie Hawn and further established by her Oscar-nominated role as a 1970s rock ‘n’ roll groupie in “Almost Famous” (2000) and real-life marriage to Black Crowes’ rocker Chris Robinson. Hudson went on to enjoy major box office success with romantic comedies including “How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days” (2003) and “You, Me, and Dupree” (2006), due largely to the actresses’ natural charm and the fun-loving rapport she shared with her male co-stars.But Hudson undoubtedly made her biggest impression on Hollywood in 2000. She read the script of Cameron Crowe’s 1970s coming-of-age rock chronicle, “Almost Famous” and was determined to land a role in the film, attracted by the music and fashion of her favorite decade, as well as recognizing that it would be a significant acting challenge that would prove she could take her career to the next level. In this tale of an aspiring music journalist on the road with a rising rock band and its troupe of female “band-aides,” Hudson initially landed the smaller role of the rebellious runaway sister of lead character William (Patrick Fugate). Thankfully for her, Sarah Polley had to drop out of her role as head band-aid Penny Lane and Hudson tirelessly worked to convince Crowe that she could carry the one of the film’s three leads. He relented, and Hudson delivered a pitch-perfect performance, imbuing Penny Lane’s flamboyant, life-of-the-party facade with heart-breaking (and heartbroken) vulnerability and insecurity just beneath the surface. The rumor mill had calmed down enough by the beginning of 2008, so as not to overshadow Hudson’s sparkling, comedic re-teaming with McConaughey in “Fool’s Gold,” an adventure about a newly-divorced couple who bury the hatchet and team up to retrieve a sunken treasure. Hudson was next slated to co-star opposite Dane Cook in another crossed-wires romantic farce, “Bachelor No.2” (2008), and the budding entrepreneur also planned to launch a line of natural hair-care products later in the year.

When Did You Last See Your Father?

Director Anand Tucker (Hilary and Jackie) doesn’t try to overpower the simple and literate story with any tricks instead letting When Did You Last See Your Father? live and breathe on its own, powered by exceptional performances and a first-rate screenplay by David Nichols. Although the film is based on the actual memoir by the real-life Blake Morrison, the story itself is universal and earns its laughs--and particularly its tears--by telling universal truths all of us can identify with. Tucker proves himself to be a fine actor’s director, especially with Broadbent, whose blustery character could have sailed out of control. Instead, we understand this man, even if we don’t always like him and much of that is due to the nicely nuanced command Tucker has over the proceedings. A small, intimate film with numerous flashbacks like this one is trickier than it looks, but ultimately it touches the heart and proves a worthwhile journey perfectly timed for Father’s Day.
A movie every father and son should be required to see together. Jim Broadbent’s towering performance should be remembered at awards time, and Colin Firth is perfect in this touching drama of memory and transition.
Positioned as a memory play, When Did You Last See Your Father? attempts to explore the lifelong relationship between a father dying of terminal cancer and his son, told through flashbacks and present-day scenes. Arthur Morrison (Broadbent) and his wife Kim (Juliet Stevenson) are both doctors in a small town in England. They have two kids, Gillian (Claire Skinner) and older brother Blake (Firth), who is now an author in his 40s with two kids of his own. The story revolves around how Blake tries to come to terms with his father’s mortality and freely travels in time, opening with a sequence in which the 8-year-old Blake experiences an embarrassing car incident as his father drives the family to an event. As the film hops and skips through the family’s life--past and present--we see sad and happy moments, focusing on Blake’s teen years and early career where dad always seems to upstage him to become the center of attention. Played out against the drama of Arthur’s imminent death, Blake grows to accept it--and all that has come before.
Although there is a fine supporting cast, the film is what they call in the business a two-hander--a searing drama focusing on the relationship between father and son, as played by two of Britain’s finest, Oscar-winner Jim Broadbent and Colin Firth. They are both superb and, by the very nature of the film, given great opportunity to show their acting chops. It is Broadbent’s film right from the beginning, however, as his Arthur spans 40 years, while Firth’s role is shared by some other fine actors (Bradley Johnson, Matthew Beard), playing younger versions of Blake. Broadbent gives one of those dominating, over-the-top, confounding portrayals of a proud man whose immense presence permeates every aspect of his son’s life. Against this kind of formidable competition, Firth is wonderfully understated and particularly effective in the film’s final few scenes. Stevenson and Skinner, along with Gina McKee as the grown Blake’s wife, handle the less demanding female roles with skill and compassion.
