We all know its part of our jobs to stay up to date on what the box office has to offer. Whether it be good or bad we need to be able to comment and intelligently critique the latest products of our industry. Nevertheless, unfortunately not everyone has access to screeners and private pre-released copies of the movies…or the spare cash to go to the movies 3 times a week (ejem..unemployed actors anybody?) So here is a great alternative from our friends at WiseBread.

.jpg) So I finally gave in and spent 15 dollars to go see AVATAR this weekend.The visual effects of the movie are in no doubt in a league of their own and so will not be the focus of what I am going to discuss. To the thousands of graphic artists involved from sketching and concept, to animation 3-D or lighting… BRAVO!.
Now, what I really wanted to review is the "substance or lack-there-of" of this multi-million dollar investment. AVATAR rumors and hype have circulated the net and subsequently our TV screens for months. Fans have written reviews before even seeing it, and not-so-fans hated it likewise. Honestly, if forced to choose… I was in the latter group. Not that I am not a fan of James Camerons previous work. I loved Alien (all of them), Terminator, The Abyss, Titanic, and even had a soft spot for Jamie Curtis doing her…

James Cameron is creating a closer relationship between two world that up to now mainly collaborated by simply using eachothers marketing push to sell more of their own: the video game publishers and the movie industry. Now though, in his upcoming “Avatar” (a 3-D movie using even some actual footage from the game) is changing that. As an actor, tell me, are you worried that these types of movies (as technology improves 3D) will take away the jobs of real people? Or do you feel encouraged that hollywood expands its horizons to include new media producers and people with different interests? For the full article…Click Here.

Lately there have been alot of blogs covering the story about “My Life In Ruins” actress Nia Vardalos’ comments about movies about women. Amongst these times its always good to look at the facts. I believe with them in hand you can either accept reality, confront it or change it armed with knowledge. Here is a post from Women and Hollywood blog about these statistics:

Don’t expect all the usual trimmings on the Hollywood party circuit this holiday season.
Showbiz party planners have begun to scale back soirees as part of industry wide belt-tightening. Several congloms have canceled their holiday bashes, while others are simply toning down the revelry. After-preem bashes are also being reassessed in this economy.

Sometimes, stars don’t have to work and sweat their way to a first gig. Sometimes, their dads, mothers, relatives or friends give them that shot. Is it fair? Is it decent.
Let me put it this way. CONTACTS are fundamental in this business. Making them from scratch or having some come as inheritance makes no difference. You need them. And every “smart” actor knows how hard this business is so will use anything they can to get a big break. So if you have someone who can help you: USE THEM. Dont try and be a martyr by saying things like: “I want to make it on my own…”. Its not how the world works. Its not real, and its not smart. NOBODY makes it in this world alone, not in this one or any other profession. So you need to stop holding yourself back and try and contact every…
