What is it about Nicole Kidman movies? No, seriously, what is it about her in movies? She is pretty much everything I should hate in an actress, but, annoying Moulin Rouge and Bewitched aside, I am pretty much into every movie that she makes and find Nikki Kids to be an incredible actress. How weird is that?I just saw Margot at the Wedding. All frumpy and homey (because you only get cred as a serious actress, if you can play sans make-up) Kidman pretty much delivered hardcore, yet again. She was very hostile, and angry, and sarcastic, and bitter, and passive aggressive, so of course I was gonna love that, but it is pretty remarkable that someone so in the spotlight can a) choose some pretty daring, always different roles and b) always succeed in being believably different from herself. Julia Roberts, Sandra Bullock, et al. take note.
Altho Margot was entirely baffling to me, it did skyrocket to 3rd in my line of fave Nikki Kidz movies. First and foremost will pretty much always be the wickedly hilarious To Die For. Interesting, if you look at her nose in this clip. Not the same nose, Nicole. 2nd is The Others, where she has never looked better and delivered her most poised, mature, graceful performance. 3rd shall be Margot.
Now, what further makes me marvel at why I like Nicole Kidman's performances is that she seems like the type of blond who would actually walk into glass windows. Look here. Seriously, how does this woman pull off such acting feats when in real life I would bet she has nary a brain cell.
Kudos and curses to thee, Nikki.

If you think Nicole Kidman has nary a brain cell then you may want to check if you have any yourself, lol. A woman who continuously remains on top, was on top in Oz before she debanked to the States, who counts some of the most powerful individuals as pals, sat down with Shimon Peres at an event only for him to invite her to Israel as his guest, the woman may not talk much or even give a hint of herself in interviews but for people who work with her in the industry, this woman is not someone they'd dismiss easily.
And considering the interpretations she gives her characters, I'd say the movies she stars in are yet to match up with what she does.
