The Iron Lady: Great acting, flawed storytelling
2012-01-20 00:28:00 Just got back from seeing an early show of The Iron Lady with a conservative friend. Both of us agreed that the film lacked a political agenda and indeed largely put Margaret Thatcher’s conservatism in a positive light. The problem of the film was not its politics, but its storytelling. It seemed more an exercise ...

Acting like a Dog
2012-01-17 14:15:00 There may come a point in our life when we begin to attribute human characteristics to our beloved pet dogs. This is natural; who is to say that dogs cannot acquire human traits from association? My pet grew up to be a very loud dog from a very silent pup. Now, whom do you think did he get it from? My point is, dogs are smart. They are smart enough to learn by associating with their masters and constant companions. Some say their dogs are geniuses. Do we believe these claims? I donít know. Thereís one thing I sure do know and thatís the fact that dogs are still dogs and whatever you do and however smart you think they are, they're not going to stop acting like dogs. Here are a couple of tidbits about dog behavior. May you learn from them. There's a dog pecking order. When I walk my dog and we meet other dogs, my dog usually just flips over with his paws waving up the air, trying to make himself as small as possible. It's obvious that my dog is afraid o...

Good to See University Students Acting Patriotically For A Change... But...
2011-05-14 02:17:00 -By Warner Todd Huston Today a left-wing, anti-American student at Louisiana State University wanted to burn a flag for, he claimed, "due process for students and suspected terrorists alike." Yeah. Whatever. As it happens, the students he was claiming to represent didn't seem to appreciate his idea, though. Several hundred of them turned out to the place where he appeared and drowned out his sniveling statement with loud chants of "USA, USA." This nebbish was unable to get his little screed spoken and when water balloons began to pelt him the cops quickly moved him out putting an end to the whole scene. It was epic fail for this dude's blather. Now, let me say that I am thrilled to...
Acting On Our Faith
2011-04-16 15:00:00 I was watching The Journey Home hosted by Marcus Grodi on EWTN the other night. Marcus Grodi interviews converts to the Catholic faith. They are people of all different religions and backgrounds and the stories of their conversion to Catholicism is always fascinating. Marcus, himself is a former pastor, who journeyed home.On this particular night the guest was answering phone calls and emails after he told his conversion story. One of the emails was from a non-Catholic who somewhat angrily questioned the Church's teachings. His claim was that if you believe in Jesus Christ as your Savior, there was nothing more to do. Christ sacrificed himself for us so all we need is faith.Really? Seriously? So ... I believe in...

Randy Couture Should Focus on Acting
2010-10-01 03:32:00 Sergio Non, from MMA Fighting Stances has reported that Randy Couture's lawyer has been quoted as saying that he may not be fighting again. Couture has had a fairly successful entry into the Hollywood scene. He carries a great fan base with him and has had the privledge of being involved in MMA where a hit and a miss is the actual intention. Of course many other fighters are trying out the acting thing - Rampage Jackson and Andrei Arlovski. But Couture seems to be well-received and despite that his movies, where he has appeared or acted have not reached major box office success, I think he should forego the 3 remaning fights on his UFC contract and enroll at...
Are you 'Acting in Young Hollywood'? Talent agent Frederick Levy has a book
2010-07-10 19:34:00 Image via Wikipedia By BOB ANDELMAN Here?s an important difference between me and some parents I know: I don?t think the world sees my kid as the most beautiful, most talented youngster ever birthed. I love her, my wife loves her and our family loves her, but c?mon! Let?s get real! That said, I know that a lot of parents believe their son or daughter is God?s gift to humanity ? or, at least, to show business. And they?re going to pursue Hollywood opportunities with their last dying breath, so as God?s gift to information and data sharing, my guest today is Frederick Levy, author of Acting in Young Hollywood and owner of Management 101, a talent firm that guides the career of young people. Levy is here to keep you parents on the straight and narrow, the smart path to helping Junior and Muffy from unknown to replacing Miley Cyrus on Hannah Montana?or somewhere in between. This is not Levy?s first book; he also wrote Hollywood 101: The Film Industry and 15 Minutes of Fame: Becomin...

Stephen Baldwin finally good at acting.......as a Republican
2010-04-29 02:25:00 It would take a Republican, to ask for money in God's name, after living a pampered Hollywood life as the brother of a good actor. Stephen Baldwin, after a lifetime of pathetic acting and roles almost as bad, needs money and is doing just that. The right-wing, Born Again Christian, started a website to solicit funds from people. Not to donate to a church or charity, but as the website admits - it's just to make him rich again! No kidding! "We have established restorestephenbaldwin.org, a privately funded and managed website. Our vision is to see Stephen Baldwin publicly restored in front of millions," the statement read. "Stephen's platform will increase allowing him to reach even more people with the...

Being versus Acting:The Ethical Dilemma of Morality
2009-09-23 18:55:00 When we hear that so-and-so is a ?good? person, we automatically assume that the person in question is a virtuous and moral being. But is it enough to simply "be" a good person? Can we simply equate being good with a moral being? Plato would probably say yes. We should strive for the Good and from this state all else would flow naturally. It is a state of spiritual enlightenment where all the "good" qualities would be reunited in the person. As Socrates put it, evil exists only because of people's ignorance; illuminate them with knowledge of the good and they will act less out of self-interest and more for the common good. Is such a stance valid? Aristotle disagrees. For him, morality is less a state of being; it is rather action-based. One is, as the existentialists tend to say, the "sum total of one's acts". In such a view neither intentions nor dreams or wishful thinking are of any practical value. That a person always dreamed and meant to become a humanitarian does not make th...

"Cinderella Man" Star Yoona's Adult Acting and Emotional Acting is "Jjang"
2009-05-21 22:20:00 [Asia Kyungjae News Reporter Hwang Yonghee] The SNSD (Girls Generation) member Yoona, who is currently acting in MBC "Cinderella Man," is playing her role as an adult perfectly. She debuted as a singer and crossed over to such a diverse and emotional actress, catching the attentions of viewers. She's acting alongside the hallyu star Kwon Sangwoo, and senior actor/actress Song Changui and Han Eunjung, showing a cute and lively, and sometimes serious personality. By acting all these emotions, she is showing her "green thumb" in acting to all the viewers.Yoona is so good at acting as an adult woman that saying she's in "Ladies Generation" instead of "Girls Generation" would not be an exaggeration.

When asked why he was not hosting, the comedian said that he had lost a break dancing competition to T-Pain. But sources are saying Katt Williams pitched a hissy fit and stormed off the set after having a very angry stand off with BET executives right before the show.Katt has become difficult now that he's a megastar," one source tells us."He was very demanding during rehearsals. He really berated one female member of the production company. He launched into a verbal assault on her in front of other people. I mean, he read her the riot act."Then he left the set and said he wouldn't return unless she apologized. She wouldn't. BET and the production company backed her up. Katt wouldn't come back. Nobody was willing to budge.source
