Guest Post: The Joy of Discovering Rufus Sewell – a Birthday Tribute

Posted in Featured Actor/Director, tagged , , , , , , , , , on October 29, 2010 | 26 Comments »

Today we celebrate the birthday of a special actor Rufus Sewell. I had a birthday post for him last year, but this time I thought what better way that to invite Mr. Sewell’s number one fan, my good friend Prairiegirl to share her own heartfelt tribute. Read on: Today Rufus Sewell is 43. Who would [...]

Chat-Worthy Actor: Mark Strong

Posted in Featured Actor/Director, tagged , , , , , , , , , , on May 10, 2010 | 29 Comments »

Special thanks to guest blogger Samantha Klein of The Blog of Eternal Stench for her outstanding contribution! …. I have a confession to make. I play “Six Degrees of Russell Crowe”. Yes, I know it’s supposed to be Kevin Bacon, but I don’t watch Kevin Bacon stuff, and I’m a huge Crowe fan. I’ve seen [...]

Happy Belated Birthday, Timothy Dalton!

Thanks to Andy from Fandango Groovers who reminded me that last Sunday 3/21 was Timothy’s 66th birthday. In honor of the actor, the James Bond enthusiast blogger posted this brilliant idea about a revolutionary James Bond flick starring Mr. Dalton as the older British spy, with Colin Farrell as 006 and Quentin Tarantino at the [...]

Happy Birthday Alan Rickman!

Posted in Random Thoughts, tagged , , , , , , , on February 21, 2010 | 6 Comments »

Mr. Rickman turns 64 today. Thought I’d give a short tribute to him as he’s one of my favorite British actors. I first saw him as the captivating villain Hans Grubber in Die Hard, stealing scenes from action hero Bruce Willis. He also plays another memorable villainous role as the tyrannical Sheriff of Nottingham in [...]

Timothy Dalton: most underrated actor of all time?

Posted in Featured Actor/Director, Random Thoughts, tagged , , , , , , , , , on December 7, 2009 | 72 Comments »

Inspired by a recent similar post by Caz from Let’s go to the movies, and the fact that award season looms upon us, I thought I’d bring forward the one actor that I thought deserve far more recognition than he currently gets. Perhaps the title of this post could be construed as a bit of [...]

Happy Belated Birthday, Rufus Sewell!

Posted in Featured Actor/Director, tagged , , , , , , , , on November 1, 2009 | 2 Comments »

Last Thursday, the talented and ridiculously handsome British actor turned 42. Most TV watchers know him as Dr. Jacob Hood in the recently canceled CBS show Eleventh Hour — which I personally think wasn’t exactly worthy of his talent. But there’s so much more to this versatile actor, whose compelling performance is always the highlight [...]

Gerard Butler’s hosting SNL this weekend!

Posted in Featured Actor/Director, tagged , , , on October 16, 2009 | 3 Comments »

I don’t normally watch SNL, but I’ll definitely make an exception this weekend. Check out this promo: I’m surprised it took so long for SNL to invite Gerry to be the host. He’s downright funny and gregarious. Sure he’s known to play brooding, fiery and ill-tempered guy, even borderline psychopathic in LAC, but he’s such [...]

Conspicuous Trailer of the Week – The Boys Are Back

Posted in Flix Trailers, Upcoming Flix, tagged , , , , , , , , on August 11, 2009 | 1 Comment »

Clive Owen takes a break from being a gunslinging action hero with a tender fatherhood tale that’s based on a true story. The plot centers on a wisecracking sportswriter Joe Warr who’s suddenly thrown into single parenthood in the wake of his wife’s tragic death. Forced to raise not one but two boys, a curious [...]

The ups & downs of Bale’s career

Posted in Featured Actor/Director, tagged , , , , on July 7, 2009 | Leave a Comment »

In light of Public Enemies release this past week (which I’m hoping to see soon), everybody’s talking about Johnny Depp as Dillinger. Hey I like Johnny as much as the next guy, but it’s Christian Bale whose career often leaves me perplexed at times. I mean he’s obviously a gifted actor from the moment Stephen Spielberg [...]

Bale – always the second banana?

Posted in Featured Actor/Director, Random Thoughts, tagged , , , , , , , on June 28, 2009 | 17 Comments »

I read this article on Yahoo yesterday on why Johnny Depp is the only one on the poster of Public Enemies, but not Bale. The funny thing is, I’ve been wondering about that ever since I saw the first trailer. Sure, Depp is undoubtedly a very bankable star, but Bale just came out of the [...]
