Chat-Worthy Thespian: Gary Oldman

This is my LAMB Acting School debut post. It's kind of perfect timing as the British thespian just turned 53 this past Monday! If I were to come up with top ten great actors who haven't won an Oscar, Oldman would've certainly made the list. If you think that idea is atrocious, get this, he …

Reminiscing on my favorite Rochester – Jane Eyre’s 1983 BBC miniseries

The 2011 Jane Eyre's film adaptation I've been waiting for quite a while opens today... alas, only in limited release. So that means I have to wait another two weeks before it finally opens in my neck of the woods. My love for Jane Eyre started out perhaps five or six years ago when I …

Happy 37th Birthday, Christian Bale!

Christian Charles Philip Bale turns 37 today! I've always been a fan of his work for the last two decades. Out of about 34 feature films he has done so far, I've seen 20 of them, even the ones that I normally would never see (American Psycho). I can't exactly remember what was the first …

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

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 …

The Hobbit cast shapes up … hurray for Richard Armitage!

I have been following The Hobbit movie news rather casually the past few months, having loved the Lord of the Rings trilogy. The production seems to have hit a bunch of snags. First the director musical chairs (which I'm glad it finally goes back to Peter Jackson) and lately there's the actors' strike that may …
