Cillian Murphy

Another Actor Review - this time: Cillian Murphy

Like most people, the first time I saw Cillian was in the movie "28 Days Later" as Jim. Of course the nude scene helped me like him even more.

I then waited to see him in other films such as "Intermission" with Colin Farrell and couldn't wait to see how much he'd be in "Batman Begins".

I just saw "The Wind That Shakes the Barley", an Irish film starring Cillian. It was good but predictable. I love watching Cillian in anything no matter what he plays (ie trans-gendered to killing people infected by rage) he's good at pretty much anything.

Johnny Depp


I think I first saw, and fell in love, with Johnny Depp in the movie "Edward Scissorhands". I was probably around the age of five. Ever since then, I've seen almost all and own a lot of his movies. My favourite movie is probably "Edward Scissorhands".

In grade 9, I was so obsessed with Johnny Depp that I created a Johnny Depp Night...which turned out to be a Johnny Depp weekend. We saw tons and tons of movies starring Johnny Depp.

I now own more Johnny Depp movies than any other actor or actress. I just don't want him to get any older.

Elvis Presley


I have 2 different opinions on Elvis Presley.

First of all, I love his music to death. My favourite song would have to be "Return to Sender" because it's a song that has a story attached to it. I can listen to that song again and again. Elvis has such a great voice that it doesn't really matter what he sings, it will sound good no matter what. There is no song by Elvis Presley that I don't like.

Secondly, his movies (although bad) are one of my biggest guilty pleasures. Whenever there's a movie on TV starring Elvis, I get so excited. When I miss the first little bit of an Elvis movie, I get so upset that I basically think the world will end (then I realize they will re-air the movie in the next few hours or days and I get over it). My favourite Elvis movie would have to be King Creole. It is one of those movies that just emphasizes Elvis' "bad boy" look. None of the Elvis movies had the best plot, seeing as Elvis told people that he was basically playing the same role in each film.

Even though his star was fading towards the end, I think Elvis is one of the greatest things to happen in the history of Rock and Roll.
