The Ghost Writer, or How look! Ms DeWitt! Samantha! Bond! Christian!

I rarely get excited over political thrillers (or thrillers or any kind) but something about Polanski's latest (The Ghost Writer) - namely, the cast (Olivia Williams, Ewan McGregor, Kim Cattral and Pierce Brosnan) has me giddy with anticipation.

Men Who Stare At Goats, or How look! It's Ewan!

As I was typing up my list of Top 20 Actors, I bemoaned to myself that Ewan McGregor (who I can't NOT-love after Moulin Rouge!) hasn't had the greatest track record (why must he play second-fiddle to Oscar winners in thankless roles? Yes, I'm looking at you Miss Potter and Amelia!) And then, as if answering my prayers, come the trailer for The Men Who Stare at Goats (which seems like it'd make a great triple feature alongside A Serious Man and The Informant! no?)



I love me some Clooney comedy and some rugged Ewan, so here's hoping the film delivers.

The 20 Actors Meme, or How my name is mB and I'm an actressexual


Goes to show how much I love actresses that when Nat posted his list of Top Favorite Actors and beckoned for our own lists... well, I gotta say I sat in front of my MacBook scratching my head, imdb-ing and wikipedia-ing more than I should have. And even then I could barely make a Top 20, but here goes:

Top 20 Actors
It's a hodge-podge mix of Old & New, Rising and Established, TV & Film
