Kidman could finally be back to fine form

I don't know about you, but Nicole Kidman to me has not had a decent movie in a long time (and I couldn't even tell you a movie of hers I have enjoyed in recent years). I have to admit she has played some interesting and bold choices for her career. I mean I love The Others, and thought she was being held back in acting when she was fantastic in To Die For, but other than that I am not a fan. I know, I know everyone loved Moulin Rouge and she won the Oscar for The Hours (which I thought Julianne Moore and Meryl were the real stars of that movie) but I just don't feel much attraction to a movie when I see her name. That is why it is so surprising that when I saw the trailer for her new movie, I actually thought finally she looks like her face moves for one, and that she has selected material that will test her as an actress and show that yes she has got talent. The movie is called "Rabbit Hole" and along side Nicole Kidman stars the amazing (and under appreciated) Aaron Eckhert (he's one of my favs, but haven't cared for his choice in movies since Dark Knight) and the always fantastic Dianne Weist (funniest thing about the movie Parenthood) who always brings something special to her movies. The movie is about Becca and Howie Corbett who are about to face their biggest challenge as a couple, as they deal with the death of their young son in a car accident which takes this couple down a downward spiral of emotions, tearing at both their marriage and their sanity. Based on a Pulitzer Prize winning play, you know this is going to be very heavy, but also very well done. I for one was moved in the trailer so I'm just wondering how emotional tearing this movie is going to be. Let me just say it looks heavy, but also a very intriguing and a very moving performance from Ms Kidman. I feel we might even see this being thrown around when Oscar season is upon us. I for one will be checking this out. Rabbit Hole opens next year.
