JULIA ROBERTS IS THE PERFECT LEADING MAN

Julia Roberts does have a lot to be happy about. Her movie Ben is Back is a genuine nail biting thriller – and unlike movies with leading MEN, there are no guns or car chases. It’s a refreshing change to have an exciting female led story and Julia more than fills the bill. She is IN CHARGE. We doubt if this film would have happened if it weren’t for what we call the “female revolution” of #MeToo and Time’s Up. Certainly the leading character would have been a father instead of a mother – and what a loss that would have been…

JULIA ROBERTS IS STILL THAT PRETTY WOMAN

Wow! Julia Roberts turned up at the Toronto Film Festival looking drop dead gorgeous! It’s no wonder she’s the face of Lancome Cosmetics – she look amazing without any touching up. Julia has a new movie, Ben is Back, in which she plays the mother of an opioid addicted 19 year old son (Lucas Hedges.) He unexpectedly appears at the family home on Christmas Eve, fresh out of rehab, and his mother is suspicious, for good reason. But Julia is in Toronto promoting her first leading role on TV- a psychological thriller series for Amazon called Homecoming, in which she plays a psychologist working at a secret government facility with veterans to help them transition back into “normal” life.
