Annette Bening


Happy Birthday to

Annette Bening

53 today


I've just caught up with Annette's performance in The Kids are All Right for which she received her fourth Oscar nomination and, as usual, it's a doozy of a performance, utterly compelling even within such a highly polished cast. Next up - she doesn't do much - is the inspiration for Morgan Freeman's struggling writer in Third Act.

I wasn't planning to review, as it was a DVD pick up from a previous year it seems unfair to review that when I won't be reviewing Breaking Away or Pygmalian my other last couple of purchases.

I know that sounds like a cop out. Maybe I'll try and put something together over the dry summer months.

Go for it..and do Breaking Away too! I enjoy your commentary, and am especially keen to know your reactions to "Kids..."
