I just heard about Patrick Swayze’s death as I was having dinner with my hubby. When he said, did Patrick Swayze died? I immediately said, no, it was a bunch of hoax, as false reports were circulating last May of his demise. But this time, it was real, he did pass away after battling pancreatic [...]

What A-list Actors Can Learn from Sharlto Copley
Posted in Featured Actor/Director, tagged actors, District 9, movies, Neill Blomkamp, sci-fi movie, Sharlto Copley, Sharlto Copley A-Team, Sharlto Copley Wikus, South African film, What A-list actors can learn from Sharlto Copley on August 26, 2009 | 35 Comments »
District 9 is one of those powerful movies that stays with me long after I saw it (check out my review of the movie). For the most part, it’s Copley’s performance that makes the film work for me. Sure, the documentary style technique and all that technical stuff blew me away at first, but once [...]
Hollywood Casting News: Flixchatter highlights
Posted in Flix News, tagged actors, Aussie actors, Avon Man, British actors, casting news, Depp out as Don Quixote, Hugh Jackman, movies, Terry Gilliam, The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus, The Three Stooges movie, The Tourist movie, upcoming movies, Wall Street 2 on August 13, 2009 | 3 Comments »
When I was little, every time the inevitable “what do you want to be when you grow up?” question came up, I always answered with all the tenacity a teeny girl I could muster: a screenwriter. A rather unusual reply for a wee kid barely able to scribble a decent sentence, let alone a paragraph. [...]
Tired of boys ruling Hollywood? Get these real men to the rescue.
Posted in Random Thoughts, The Flix List, tagged actors, Aussie actors, British actors, Gerard Butler, Hollywood leading men, masculinity in films, movies, No more boys rulling Hollywood, what happened to real men in hollywood?, Where have all the movie men gone? on August 4, 2009 | 73 Comments »
British and US press alike have been saying this over and over. Real men are but bygones in today’s Hollywood movies, as more and more boys dominate the box office. The biggest money makers of late are mostly under the age of 25! Shia La Beouf, Zac Efron, Robert Pattinson and Daniel Radcliffe have all [...]
Ledger had wanted out as Joker?
Posted in Flix News, tagged actors, Aussie actors, Heath Ledger, movies, The Dark Knight, The Joker, Vanity Fair on July 8, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
Well according to the Vanity Fair tribute to the late actor, that’s exactly what he wanted. That comes as a surprise to me as his performance was so masterful that you’d think an actor of his caliber would’ve welcomed the opportunity to play such an outrageous character. But his friend/agent Steven Alexander told Vanity Fair’s [...]
Just what exactly is the Academy??
Posted in Random Thoughts, tagged Academy Awards, actors, films, movies, nominations, Oscar on July 6, 2009 | 1 Comment »
In response to my earlier post about new members added to the Academy (that is the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences), I thought I ought to give a bit of a history about the organization that give out the Oscars each year. Thanks Becky for asking me just who are the other members [...]
FlixChatter Review: Wolverine

I realize I should’ve put a spoiler disclaimer on this from the start. Sorry to all of you readers who haven’t seen the movie, this ‘review’ is meant as a post-viewing discussion/observation. I’ll make sure to be clear on that in the future, and enhance my flix reviewing skills! Marvel and DC ought to thank [...]
Before GB was famous
Posted in Featured Actor/Director, Random Thoughts, tagged actors, films, flicks, Gerard Butler, Gerry Butler, Please!, short film on June 10, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
Prior to bellowing ‘Tonight, we dine in hell!” in 300 with his gravelly voice, Gerard Butler was just a struggling actor trying to make ends meet. Fast forward ten years and this short film still takes my breath away! Peter is a novelist who is going out of his mind because his wife and daughter [...]

Welcome to my blog debut, yeeha! I’ve been wanting to write a blog for as long as I can remember, but the old, tired excuses of being ‘too busy’ is holding me back! Well, this afternoon I had an assignment to actually design a blog for my client. After 15 minutes tinkering around in WordPress, [...]
