Apr

2013

Hit the road Spring is in the air, the women on Avenue Louise are down to three layers, and…oh wait…is that? Yes it is! The sun just showed its face for the first time in months. After watching the film Night Train to Lisbon (2013), it has given me a sense of wanderlust. (Nerd Alert: ...

Mar

2012

I kicked off a while back with my picks of the five most under-rated (yes, I hyphenate it, get over it) actors. I did so chiefly because ripping people to shreds is easy and so many people seem to make a(n) (un)healthy living doing it. This, then, is a balance piece. There are actors whom ...

The 5 Most Under-Rated Actors 23

Mar

2012

Acting up OK, more like four under-rated and one just plain old unfortunate. You’ll see why. For every Steve Guttenberg, Scarlett Johansson and Jason Statham, who seem to get regular work despite having little to no discernible talent for the job they’re paid obscene amounts of cash to do, there is a veritable legion of ...
