W Magazine's The Movie Issue

W Magazine is featuring the 39 best performances of the year with photographs of the actors taken by fabulous photographer Tim Walker and of course the result is flawless.

Among the ones i've seen there's the fantastic Bill Hader in 'The Skeleton Twins' (such a shame they didn't feature Kristen Wiig), Scarlett Johansson in 'Under the Skin' (portrait at the source) or Ethan Hawke for 'Boyhood' but i'm anxious to check out the rest as Oscar season is coming.

I'm not going to post the 39 portraits but i'm obviously going to post the ones i liked best (as usual) after the cut but be sure to check out the rest at the source:

Kramer vs. Kramer (1979)

Another excellent movie trivia, again a film with Dustin Hoffman, and again, something about the ending of the movie. If you haven't seen 'Kramer vs. Kramer' this won't spoil you anything, but you should really watch this movie because it's really good, there's the flawless Meryl Streep and it's a real tear-jerker. Anyway, on the very last scene of the film, this happened:

At the end of the very last scene, Meryl Streep, believing that the scene had ended, asked Dustin Hoffman if her eye-make up was messed up from crying. The director kept it in the movie.

The ending is beautiful, it won't make sense if you haven't seen it, but it's a real moment between the actors and that's something really great and a real win to keep it in the movie. It's a small thing but it makes the ending perfect.
