Though Fiennes' characters in these two films are similar, it's the subtle nuances in his eyes which make the differences blossom. His ability to register varying degrees of sorrow, jealousy, giddiness and remorse within those swoon-inducing orbs is amazing. The superb supporting cast in both films adds to the richness of character. Geoffrey Rush, the Oscar winner for best actor from Shine, delivers masterful performances with two very different characters. As the quietly menacing personal servant of Elizabeth, he convincingly radiates a calm, omniscient presence which anchors his queen when all hell breaks loose. As Fiennes' bumbling, clueless...
...suspect that being a Manhattan-born Knicks fan plays a major role in my complex. I grew up regaled with tales of heroics on the Garden floor--Willis Reed versus Wilt Chamberlain, Bill Bradley, Earl the Pearl, and the whole cast of characters that brought two titles to 32nd and 8th long before my conception. Becoming a fan was assumed, indeed required...
Hollywood too is feeling the rap beat. After Lauryn Hill passed on a role in The Cider-House Rules (an adaptation of the John Irving book), filmmakers cast hip-hop soul singer Erykah Badu. Ice Cube, who has appeared in such movies as Boyz N the Hood and Fridays, will soon star with George Clooney in the Gulf War thriller Three Kings. Queen Latifah, featured in the recent film Living Out Loud, is now set to be the host of a TV talk show. And the former Fresh Prince, Will Smith, has become one of the most in-demand actors...
...Watts and Woodstock. Then toss in newsreel footage of every conceivable major event that occurred during this tumultuous time. Now squeeze all this into a four-hour mini-series and try to tell a credible story. Ludicrous? Yet NBC pretty well manages the feat. Enacted by a solid cast and enhanced by a smartly used greatest-hits soundtrack, The '60s is clear-eyed, compassionate and surprisingly affecting. What it lacks in depth it makes up for in breadth...
While still in high school, Hill landed a recurring role as the troubled runaway, Kira, on the TV soap As The World Turns. In 1993 she was cast as a difficult teen in Sister Act 2. There's a scene in that film in which Hill's character reels off a rap as her classmates look on. "None of that was scripted," says director Bill Duke. "That was all Lauryn. She was amazing." While in high school, she formed the rap trio the Fugees (short for refugees) with classmate Prakazrel ("Pras") Michel and Wyclef Jean, who went to a nearby...
