SOMEDAY WE WILL ALL KNOW HOW TO PRONOUNCE SAOIRSE RONAN’S NAME

Saoirse Ronan arrived at a morning show in London to discuss her movie Little Women, and she’s appropriately attired in pajamas. (Even SHE pronounces her name in several ways – depending who she’s talking to) She’s only 25, but Saoirse has already been nominated for THREE Oscars and she won Best Actress for Brooklyn (which we LOVED) a few years ago. Little Women got her a Golden Globe nomination this year, but Renee Zellweger will be hard to beat. People are already calling Saoirse the next Meryl Streep , and we have to agree.

Brooklyn Movies Saoirse Ronan

WE STILL NOMINATE “BROOKLYN” FOR BEST MOVIE OF THE YEAR

Saoirse Ronan (we still can’t pronounce her name!) is in New York promoting her incredible movie Brooklyn, and she needs all the help she can get. It’s a magnificent film and not getting the attention it deserves. It’s not flashy and features no big name stars, so you may not have heard a lot about it. But it’s beautifully and sensitively written and acted, and transports the audience to another time and place. It happens to be surprisingly timely because it deals with immigration and adaptation. You walk out feeling like you just read a great book – with a happy ending.

Brooklyn Emory Cohen Movies Saoirse Ronan

“BROOKLYN” – PROBABLY THE BEST MOVIE OF THE YEAR

Last night we fell in love with a movie. And it’s been a long time since THAT happened. “Brooklyn” is a brilliant and subtle masterpiece. It’s the kind of deeply personal story that you rarely see on screen any more. It’s about leaving a comfortable home and being brave enough to take on a whole new world. Saoirse Ronan plays a young Irish girl given the opportunity to leave her small town and move to Brooklyn, New York in the 50’s. Her performance is so achingly real and identifiable that she deserves an Oscar. The script is beautifully written, both funny and sentimental, and all the acting is delicate and precise. Emory Cohen as a young Italian Brooklynite is a revelation. Unfamiliar faces make the characters really come to life. Don’t miss this one.

Brooklyn David Beckham Saks Fifth Avenue Yogurt

SAKS FIFTH AVENUE CAME TO LIFE WHEN DAVID BECKHAM AND BROOKLYN WALKED IN

David Beckham took his oldest son Brooklyn shopping at Saks Fifth Avenue in Beverly Hills and both made a very favorable impression among the salesclerks and other shoppers. “Brooklyn has impeccable manners – he’s such a nice boy” exclaimed a salesperson. David stopped to sign autographs and pose for photos with everyone who asked. He purchased $5000 worth of Jo Malone candles from London – they retail for $65 apiece and come in such scents as Grapefruit Luxury and Pomegranate Noir. David ordered an assortment. Are the Beckhams planning a party? After the Saks visit David treated Brooklyn to frozen yogurt.
