In Comparison: Keira Knightley (Pride & Prejudice) vs. Winona Ryder (Little Women)

Ever thought about Keira Knightley and Winona Ryder as the same person (that you mistake them in their movies?) or looking eerie similar at least look-wise? I'm sure some of you have seen some of their many pictures on magazines and movies that you can't help but noticed they look so similar (we can even add Natalie Portman here, but these two look far more similar, lol). If so, you'll see or rather noticed a lot of similarities between these two beautiful and talented actresses. Take for instance, Keira as Elizabeth Bennet in Pride & Prejudice and Winona Ryder as Josephine March in Little Women, both period movies and both earned them Oscar Nominations for Best actress (in their early 20s too). Here's a comparison between them, I first posted this a while back at the P&P forum (as I own both movies on DVD), I found some very interesting similarities not only with actresses Keira Knightley and Winona Rider eerie physical resemblance (their poses, facial expressions, etc.) but with their movies, P&P and LW (and their characters in these period movies)...So, in comparison, I thought I'd repost the KK's Lizzie Bennet pic from P&P with WR's Jo March pic from LW here...and here's the comparison list I came up with between them and mostly between their characters Lizzie Bennet and Jo March.

Plus an interesting Johnny Depp Connection:
Johnny & Winona (former lovers on and off-screen):


Johnny & Keira (co-stars in Pirates movies):

In addition to the list above, both Keira and Winona have co-starred with Johnny Depp (not to mention Winona used to be engaged with him and he even had a "Winona Forever" tatoo in his one arm, but after they split he changed it to "Wino Forever." Guess he'll always remember her, lol)...KK with Johnny Depp (no wonder they co-starred 3 times, how ironic? lol...) on Pirates movies and WR with JD on Edward Scissorhands (and 2 more movies, which the titles escapes me at this time, lol).

Film Review: The Proposal

Image
I saw this movie twice. First on its opening day at night with friends and the next day with my mother. I love Sandra Bullock ! She's one of my favorite actresses and I've seen pretty much every movie that she has released. I love her movies and I knew I'll love this one too. Also, I like or should I say now, I love Ryan Reynolds ! Hehe... I've seen him in Just Friends (he was very funny in that movie), Definitely, Maybe (he was good in that movie with Isla Fisher, Rachel Weisz , and Elizabeth Banks , but the movie was alright), and one of the recent blockbuster hit, X-Men Origins: Wolverine (He was fierce in that movie, lol). For this movie, I know I wanted to see it and have waited so long to see this, but I didn't expect too much 'cause when I do (even with my favorite actors in it), I often get disappointed when a movie I've waited and wanted to see for so long didn't match my excitement and expectations. So, I went and saw this movie with my

Celebrity Look-Alikes

Is it just me? or are you seeing what I'm seeing? ... you know, doubles (or make that triple-doubles in the first set of doubles' pics below ...) or look-alikes among the following famous celebrities, some of them happen to be my favorite actors. These celebs are often mistaken looking like the other and vice versa. Some have actually either met or worked together, while others have yet to meet or cross paths. Don't they all look-alike? Check out their pics below and see for yourself! First of...

Spanish Telenovelas

Image
This past summer, I actually had too much downtime that I surprised and found myself watching not just random movies, but I also ended up watching a few Spanish Telenovelas , lots of Korean Dramas , and some Taiwanese Dramas . I must admit I was not into watching them before until recently, as I got addicted into watching them, but mostly on K-Dramas (my post on it is coming up...soon!)...thank goodness for English subtitles ! I know these are not movies, but I thought I'd include them here, since I'm into watching them lately. So far, I've only seen a few Spanish Telenovelas as I haven't found anything really good that grabs my time and attention. These are a few that I've seen...

Film Review: Confessions of a Shopaholic

Image
I've seen this movie's preview trailer months ago and thought it looked very funny, but never thought or planned to see it. I've never read the Shopaholic novels even though I've heard of them and seen the books in book stores (just never read it...perhaps now I will after seeing this movie), until one day, one of my older sisters highly recommended I see it. She told me it was the best movie she's seen in a long time...and that's very rare for her to say that about a movie that she likes/loves the most. She also told me that it was worth the money. So I said, ok, I'll watch it. And I did recently. I went to see it with my Mom and we were pleasantly surprised at how awesome, so much fun, very funny, cute, and entertaining this movie was. Anyways, here's my full review of...

Foreign Films (Part 2)

Image
I've been watching so many random Foreign Films via Netflix for several years now or so as a lot of them were really, really good. I started posting Foreign Films part 1   (six years ago!) and it's been a while since I wrote more about this until now. I happen to have seen a lot in the past year and recently. So, I've compiled a list of the foreign movies I remember seeing. A lot of these films I saw, I didn't expect I would love and enjoy watching, and I like that. It's always the random movies that I didn't think I'd like, let alone enjoy watching, are the ones that I ended up loving and surprises me at the same time. Here are 25 Foreign Films  that I've seen most recently, which I've either liked (or didn't like at all) or loved watching...at least most of them...that I've compiled and listed below for you to check out and see that may be of interest to you (which you may or may not have seen yet)...
