Fringe 409-411

I really, really dislike what the writers did with the show in S4 and I have a really, really hard time convincing myself to continue watching it. They basically destroyed everything that made the show special to me - the relationship between Walter and Peter and between Olivia and Peter - and right now, I honestly almost hate it...

Orlando Bloom

It's been a while since I wrote about Orlando Bloom.



Even almost 15 years after his great debut in LotR, people still love to bash him and his acting skills and the fact he doesn't join more blockbusters and focuses on smaller films. But a blockbuster doesn't necessarily mean a good movie, which people love to forget when it's convenient for them. I'm especially looking forward to these two movies of his...

The Laureate where he will play Robert Graves, the famous writer and poet.

Zulu where he will play a cop in South Africa. He'll be in it together with Djimon Hounsou, another really great actor.

Both sound really good. I prefer it when my favorite actors do smaller, more character driven movies. I mean, not really artsy, that's not my cuppa but something that allows them to shine. Mostly, it's the British actors. British actors, even big name actors, don't see it as... demeaning to do a radio play or a TV show or something like that. See Benedict Cumberbatch, James McAvoy... I wish American actors did stuff like that more often too.
