Small Roles… Big Performances blogathon
Ruth from Flixchatter has started a new blogathon and I felt compelled to join her in this one. The idea of this blogathon in her words is:
to shine a spotlight on the ‘unsung heroes’ if you will, the overlooked performers who add so much richness/entertainment value to the film no matter how brief their appearance is, but yet they don’t get the credit they so deserve
Now I have to admit that I had a hard time coming up with someone and it took me a while before I remembered two performances, one from Olivia Thirlby in 2009’s New York, I Love You and the other one by Billy Crystal in The Princess Bride Continue reading
The Ten: Best Actresses of all time “relay race” *UPDATE*
The relay race for the actresses has also received two updates, from two bloggers whose work I read regularly (and have also appeared in my Moviesite Spotlight):

Something I have to admit is that I thought I had seen him in various Hitchcock movies, but I had mixed him up with James Stewart (sorry Ruth!).
So enough movies to pick from and I finally settled on Boys From Brasil. It’s a title which I had heard mentioned several times and knew it had something to do with experiments by nazis, but that was about it. It sounded like a weird movie, so I was prepared for anything. Continue reading
The Ten: Best Actors of All Time “relay race” *UPDATE*
As you have read Ruth from Flixchatter was the next in line in the relay race. Now as the baton was passed to her I already had a feeling that I knew who would be added to the list. Was I right? Head over to her site to find out who she picked and who has been removed!
