Suddenly Sandra

One of the Hollywood actresses I really like is Sandra Bullock. She's funny, charming and has that devil-may-care-attitude. For a time, people were calling her "the Next Julia Roberts" - a phrase coined to describe many other actresses like Reese Witherspoon and Monica Potter. (Who, by the way, sounds strangely similar to Julia Roberts.)

Then, she fell off the radar. The last big movies she did were Miss Congeniality and Miss Congeniality 2. She had a couple more releases, but were mostly lackluster. I remember watching "Premonition" on TV, and it was sort of weird seeing her in that genre.

Suddenly, she's back! I was previewing movie trailers over the net and saw that she has two new movies, both in the genre she's known for: Rom-coms or Romantic comedies. There's "All About Steve" where she plays a lovestuck geek. There's also "The Proposal" where she plays a woman who's forced to get together with her Executive Assistant for Immigration reasons.



Both movies show her at what she does best - cute, klutzy and adorable. Much like her persona in the movie that cemented her Hollywood star: "While you were sleeping."

Added to that, she's also In Style's new cover girl! Can't wait 'til this issue comes out in Manila.



Methinks this heralds the return of the Sandra Bullock we all know and love. And it's a return that's long overdue. But I wouldn't venture as far as calling her "The next Julia Roberts" again. In my book, there's only ONE Julia Roberts.

But that's another story.
