13 Amazing 2010 Film & TV Performances - PopWrap

Here is my take on the PopWrap's 13 Amazing performances missed out by awards and glitz

1-3 I am not to aware of because I don't really remember Zach on SNL, didn't see or like horror movie "The Last Exorcism" and lastly didn't see but thought about going to see "Despicable Me" with Steve Carroll. They compare his performance worth of "Alladin's" Robin Williams.

Ok lets get to the good ones:

4. lets skip completely because I hate vampires, and the only reason I even know this girl is from Degrassi, where she plays Mia, who's character is less pretty but more rea

5. Jonah Hill in Cyrus. He is the oddly loveable son of Marisa Tomei with a serious Mommy complex. The movie makes you feel so gross and awkward at times which is where the beauty in the imperfections of these characters are best. He makes rad music that his mom fully supports, but when a new man comes into her life their relationship takes a turn. The Post compares his performance like many to...Adam Sandler in "Punch Drunk Love" and Jim Carrey in "The Truman Show." Whatever you want to compare it to, its a great hidden jem of the indie movie season.

6. Patricia Clarkson & Stanley Tucci as Rosemary & Dill in "Easy A": I loved this movie, it was cute, and had a great modern twist on a classic and boring "Scarlet Letter." Stanley Tucci and Patricia Clarkson are the ultimate scene stilling parents. Laid back but street smart, and know how hard it is to be a teenager.

A memorable quote curtsey if IMDB.

Rosemary: I had a similar situation when I was your age. I had a horrible reputation.
Olive Penderghast: Why?
Rosemary: Because I slept with a whole bunch of people. Mostly guys.
Olive Penderghast: Mom!

7. Some dude of "Friday Night Lights" I could give a rats ass about

8. Florence and the Machine at the MTV Video Music Awards: thanks to alternative radio stations and "Eat Prey Love" this girl is huge and who can resist a good pick me up on a dog day afternoon! Watch it here

9. Some dude from some show I have also never watched...NEXT

10. Imogen Poots as Allyson Karsch in "Solitary Man" missed the movie, but looked decent....on the list.

11. Hye-ja Kim as The Mother in "Mother" also something I missed but looks a little too EMO for me right now....

12. Amanda Peet as Mary in "Please Give" : "Amanda began her career playing shrill bitches ("Saving Silverman") before segueing into more endearing characters ("Studio 60") -- a progression that's put to perfect use in this inspired comedy as she tackles the first endearing bitch of her career and emerges with the most human character she's ever created."-The Post.

I can't agree more, although they missed out her great moments in"Igby Goes Down;" as well; this movie makes her funny too....or at least you laugh at her for her ridiculous behavior. She works at a skin care spa but tans obsessively, and I like the tan on her actually. She knows its bad but does it anyway. She hates her cute but angry grandmother. Is totally fucking the ambulance chasing neighbors who want to buy her grandmothers apartment just to make their dream space. It has a really great lesson in the whole film too...if you have some money, or feel guilty...give some away.

Juliette Lewis

Juliette Lewis rocks!

Not much more to say with her stellar rad attitude and bright screen presents she always brings joy to everything she does.

She has that kind of "I don't give a fuck swagger."

She is in a rock band.

And on top of everything else she is FUNNY.

She makes bad movies ok, because her parts still make you laugh and forget about how awful "The Switch" was.

She has been going STRONG since the 80s this women should be a role model for more actresses then any Miley Cyrus.

She is Oscar nominated for Cape Fear; She is EMMY nominated for Showtime's My Louisiana Sky; Beginning in 2004, Juliette took a hiatus from acting to embark on a musical journey. After six years, two full length albums and countless high profile tours and festival gigs with her band The Licks, Juliette set out on a solo career. Releasing Terra Incognita last fall, the album has taken her all across the world from Europe to Japan to Turkey, Australia, North America and Canada.

She helped kick off Milan Fashion week most recently walking in the Miss Bikini Luxe show.
The show opened with her new single “Hot Kiss.”



The multitasker was taking a time out from filming “Whip It!” directed by Drew Barrymore, she’s also working on her third album, which is due out in 2009. After the show, Lewis headed to Lotus nightclub for tipples and tunes with a gaggle of gal pals.

Now some of this is old news, but I can't help but give a WOOOO for this awesome actress who gets downplayed too often. I mean she just exudes cool, she has dated Brad Pitt and been married to pro skater Steve Berra...she is an ultimate California girl at heart. Free spirit all the way. I give a Mazel to her!!

Button, Button

So I have been seeing a trailer a lot for this new movie called The Box it looks so strange, with this guy who comes to your house with part of his face missing and tells you if you press the button in this box your money problems will be solved but someone will die. do you press it? well i don't care, but it couldn't be based on some Hollywood's writer's good idea, it had to come from somewhere deep. Well it turns out it is based on a short story by Richard Matheson called Button, Button. Which leads us then to a Twilight Episode which is where my curiosity came to a halt.

So yeah next time you see a strange movie trailer, ask yourself where the origin is.

Jeff Goldblum and Movies

I am so into him, every movie is delish. this one looks especially awesome and intense. It takes place in Israel in 1960s at a mental institution exclusively for concentration camp survivors of the Holocaust. its called Adam Resurrected probably not coming to a theater near you but looks dank! did I just use "dank" as an adj gee.

Also I watched one hour of Bongwater and had to stop myself because I found out it was based on a book so I must read the book first, a great cast once again. Updates later on the book set in my lovely college nastalgia Portland, OR an alien is also involved and Jake Black and hippies and Weed of course.
