This week is light for big releases, but it does offer one of last year’s big surprise Oscar Winners, and a classic that just turned 60. If you like barely memorable romantic comedies, this is a good week for older titles, and if you like a film that sticks with you for days on end, there’s at least one great documentary worth watching. Check out this week’s releases below…
In a year with a number of great movies, The Oscars mostly went for comfort food over bold decisions, but what else is to be expected at this point? It’s hard to be upset with a voting block that has – time and time again – picked nice and safe and maybe a little political over most of the films that tend to matter. When you look back at 1999, who still thinks American Beauty was the best of that year? And so – as expected – The Artist won big.
The award season is getting close to wrapping up, and – as expected – Michel Hazanavicius‘s The Artist is continuing to sweep. Its latest victory was at the British Academy of Film and Television Arts film awards, where it walked away with seven prizes, including best film, director, screenplay and best actor for Jean Durjardin‘s lead performance. Meryl Streep‘s win for The Iron Lady was the only upset of the usual winners (beating Viola Davis), but Octavia Spencer for The Help and Christopher Plummer for Beginners were also awarded, which goes with most of the major awards to date. Check out the full list…
David Frankel will once again join forces with his The Devil Wears Prada star Meryl Streep for his upcoming film Great Hope Springs. According to THR, Springs is a comedy that will focus on a couple and their long running relationship. Who will play Streep’s significant other? That info hasn’t been released but it needs to be someone extremely talented. Jack Nicholson are you up for this?
Meryl Streep is at it again. The Oscar winning actress is set to receive more critical acclaim after she appears in the upcoming film, The Iron Lady. It’s a biopic that centers on Margaret Thatcher, which means it’s politically driven and has some strong material. Over at Deadline, they got first dibs on the premiere photo of Streep as Thatcher and it’s eerie. Check out the full sized photo below…
I know a lot of actors and actresses who say that “they won’t do web shows,” as if it’s beneath them or something. Well it’s not beneath Meryl Streep so I think everyone else can just shut up for a moment. Being known as the number one actress working today doesn’t stop Academy Award winner Meryl Streep from doing fun guest appearances on the premiere of Lisa Kudrow‘s new web series, Web Therapy. Streep plays Camilla Bowner, a famed sexual orientation therapist, who is a bit “simple” and is currently seeking her own therapy sessions with Fiona, the online NY therapist played by Kudrow.
This week Streep appeared for the the first time on Lisa Kudrow’s online series “Web Therapy.” Check out a clip from the first show below…
What would happen if the Queen of Daytime, joined forces with the greatest actress alive and America’s sweetheart? Would the world implode? I guess we’ll find out with the upcoming comedy from Sex and the City director Michael Patrick King. The project is currently untitled but it will star Oprah Winfrey, Meryl Streep, and Sandra Bullock.
Julia Roberts and Meryl Streep will be teaming up for a project together called August: Osage County. If the title sounds familiar it’s because it’s a feature adaptation of the play of the same name. Both actresses have previously appeared on the Broadway stage and are definitely capable of handling the material.
This movie is too good to be true. Everytime Meryl Streep teams up with Stanley Tucci magic happens. Whatever those two have, they should bottle it and sell it at a ridiculously high price — I’d buy it! According to THR, the Oscar winning actress and the Oscar nominated actor will reunite for the mother-daughter comedy, Mommy & Me co-starring Tina Fey.
