Steven Soderbergh's experiment of drawing non-actors to come and provide their interpretation of a story brings out perhaps crucial elements of acting. That of imersing yourself and infusing your own personal expression.
I think this experiment was a success. All three actors came through and the tragedy of all their lives and intersections can really get to you. I think this project was really meant to be a DVD. If you don't watch all the extras that came with the disc, you're really missing out on the process and real lives behind the project.

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix just happened to be playing at one of the cinemas on my drive home.....so what the hell....I went ahead and saw it :) They've added many characters since the series started, but I have to admit I really like Luna Lovegood (JK could have used a more "non-pornstar-like" name, but.... anyway). Luna reminds me of Wednesday Addams.
Lucy McLane is all grown up (and really takes from her dad :) ). This installment of the Die Hard series delivers. Justin Long actually works as the odd guy opposite Bruce Willis (a different approach compared to the strength Sam Jackson brought in Die Hard with a Vengeance). Its fun and entertaining, and Silent Bob has a bit part!....oh, alright, he didn't really play Silent Bob (in which case I would have demanded Jay to be present :) ).
