I'm Not Forgetting You, Gwyneth Paltrow!

Even though I personally despise the FOX hit, Glee, there was something that recently caught my attention. While scanning the pages of Youtube during a sleepless night, I fell across a clip of Gwyneth Paltrow in the episode, "The Substitute" from Season Two of the show. With a rendition of Cee Lo Green's Forget "F*ck" You, I was absolutely stunned by Paltrow's performance. Not only was she brilliant, she was dead sexy!

Spotlight #4

Another special spotlight this week as we look a particularly brilliant theatre company based here in the UK. Currently celebrating their 30th anniversary, Kneehigh Theatre Company has made us laugh, cry and squeal with delight as they bring some our favourite pieces to life on stage. Touring the States at the moment is an adaptation of Noel Coward's Brief Encounter, which is a tale of love, heartache and self evaluation. But why are they so successful?

 

Kneehigh Theatre's, Emma Rice.

Over the years, Kneehigh has had an array of massively successful shows including: Red Shoes, Brief Encounter, King of Prussia & Blast! In the last ten years, Kneehigh has been under the watchful eye of director and theatre maker, Emma Rice, who has overseen and directed all the shows since 2000. 

With a rich history, Cornwall (UK) based Kneehigh has inspired many up and down the country with their influential style of devised theatre. Ensemble based, Kneehigh infuses actors, musicians and theatre makers together to make a collaborative piece of work. Musicians often join actors and dancers on the stage and the performers are usually multi-talented enabling them to seamlessly switch from playing the guitar to dancing in tap shoes to singing opera.

Spotlight #2

So I'm the worst blogger of all time, okay, I get it. But I am determined to make this work so here is the second installment of "Spotlight" - even if it is over five weeks late. What!? I've just started university, it's been a tricky transition and a busy month...don't hate me!

 

CHLOE GRACE MORETZ

American teen sensation, Chloe Moretz has had one hell of a year. Going from the face of the Disney Princess dressing up range at the age of six, young starlet Moretz is taking Hollywood by storm. After starring in rom-com 500 Days of Summer alongside Joseph Gordon-Levitt as Levitt's spunky on screen sister, Moretz landed the role in comic book, action comedy Kick-Ass as feisty Mindy Macready. Critics hailed the youngster as the star of tomorrow as she pulled off a convincing performance as the young superhero, Hit-Girl in which she stole the limelight from the films stars Aaron Johnson, Mark Strong and Nicolas Cage.

Moretz was an other night hit and her next film, Let Me In, also looks to be another hit as she appears in the role of young vampire Abby. The fantasy horror which is a remake of the Swedish hit Let the Right One In hits screen today (5 November 2010) in the UK and although initially panned by critics, it still looks to be a strong film. Most reviews of the film dislike it after having watched the original but most compliment the talented Moretz and her chemistry with Kodi Smit-McPhee.

As well as the two already mentioned, Moretz also starred in Diary of Wimpy Kid and already has a busy schedule booked in for next week with a possible five films in the works plus the second Kick-Ass installment lined up for 2012. Something tells me, this is only the beginning of bright career for this young child-star.
