Happy 51st Birthday To Nicole Kidman.

I used to find Nicole Kidman annoying. I have no idea why… Maybe the Tom Cruise connection didn’t help. Anyway, she’s grown on me in recent years and I did think she was really good in Big Little Lies. And, wow, I’ve seen quite a lot of her movies so I don’t find her so annoying that I avoid her. She’s a good actress.

So counting down to my favorite and including everything I’ve seen, these are My Top Ten Nicole Kidman Movies. I only really like the top four…

Happy Birthday to Ewan McGregor, who turns 46 today. Ewan McGregor isn’t someone I’ve ever thought of as a favorite actor but I’ve always liked him & will happily watch a movie if he’s in it. Plus he’s cute. And, hey, he’s not afraid of some full frontal nudity. Right?! 😀

So happy birthday to sweet Ewan McGregor! Here are My Top Ten Ewan McGregor Movies, counting down to my favorite (and, yeah, starting at 17… I’ve seen 18 in total including a tie. Oh, and more if I didn’t count the Star Wars movies as one. Never mind!).
