This week It's Kate Hudson

Internet Movie DataBase

Kate Hudson

The amazing Kate Hudson born 19April79 is the daughter of Goldie Hawn (laugh in). She played Penny Lane in Almost Famous, was Dee Dee in Dr T & the Women and did the remake of The Four Feathers. Early films include Ricochet River, Desert Blue, Gossip and About Adam. Recently Kate has been with Owen Wilson in You, Me and Dupree, The Skeleton Key with John Hurt, Le Divorce and did Alex and Emma with Luke Wilson. Soon to be released she's Tess Finnegan chasing Fool's Gold with that Guy again.
Grant thinks Kate is Great in How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days & Raising Helen >>>
Raising Helen stars Kate Hudson and is a great little movie about what happens when her sister and brother in law are killed in a car wreck and She is chosen to Raise her nieces and nephew. It's a funny, moving film with a great cast. Hayden Panattiere of Racing Stripes & Titans, Little Miss Sunshine herself Abigail Breslin (soon of Nims Island) and her brother Spencer, from The Kid and Cat'n Hat.

A Night on the Town, my Favourite movie, stars Elisabeth Shue as The Adventurious Babysitting, Chris Parker,"I'll guard her with my life." She's forced to take the Kids into the city to rescue her friend Brenda from the Bus station. Their Exploits are chronicled, in the improvised 'Babysitting Blues" song, in the Silver Dollar Club cause 'nobody leaves this place without singing the blues'. This film has great songs, good acting and a tight storyline.
The Fugutive stars Harrison Ford as Dr Richard Kimble the great remake of TVs quest of the one armed. After a quick overview of the court case, while on his way to prision, Kimble escapes from one of the most spectacular train crashes ever put on film. (NoCGI-here people) He is relentiously persued by Sam Gerard (Tommy Lee Jones) returning to Chicago he tracks down the culperate who murdered his wife.
Hitch is a classic guy movie with an interesting rhythm and excellent soundtrack. Will Smith is the mythical date doctor of New York city helping the good hearted ordinary bloke to get the girl. 'Hit it & quit it' is not what Hitch is all about. Alex Hitchens teaches men how to listen and relate to the women they love.
So remember she's already out with you "it it not you job to make her like you, it's your job not to mess it up!"
Leaving her rented Lake House Kate Forester places a note with forwarding instructions for the new tennant. Architect Alex Wyler starts to communicate with Kate through their mail box but when he tries to visit her new appartmant, on Rachine drive, finds out that it has not been built yet and you soon realize that these sweethearts are challenged by time.
Mona Lisa Smile stars Julia Roberts as Katherine Watson, the new art history professor at the prestigeous Wellsley College. It is a powerful look at the lives of women in the fifties. With an amazing cast of intellegent young actresses this is a must see movie, Beautifully photographed by Mike Newell co-stars Kirsten Dunst, Julia Styles, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Ginnifer Goodwin & Marcia Gay Harden
Kevin Costners '88 movie Field of Dreams portrays Ray Kinsella as the Iowa corn farmer who hears the Voice "If You Build It He Will Come". Based on WP Kinsella's Book about Shoeless Joe Jackson and Directed by Phil Alden Robinson. James Earl Jones is Terrance Mann with Burt Lancaster as Dr Graham and Amy Madigan is Annie Kinsella. If you've been living on another planet and never seen this great film give it a spin on your DVD and watch the 'Sox' come back and play again
50 First Dates is Adam Sandler's best film and features the beautiful Drew Barrymore as forgetful Lucy Whitmore. Set in Hawaii with great scenery & Good soundtrack you will come away from this fabulous flick humming a tune & leaving your care behind you.GB
Lean On Me is an amazing True Story set in the self destructing Eastside High Shool of Patterson New Jersey (as is Harricane) & Stars Morgan Freeman as Principal Joe Clark. He restores Pride and a Sense of family to the students. Like the YouTube above this film leans heavily on the song & talens of it's cast.
