Name the Actor/Actress Game Answers

-
I'm going to post the answers to this game a day early because I have another idea for a game that I want to start:)   (It's also because I have a strong suspicion that tomorrow, I'll be absorbed in posting a review to the third season of A Certain TV Show whose finale has left me shell-shocked and heartbroken, but also gloriously, gloriously happy.  Yeah.)

I'll also list the films in which I've seen these actors, in case that helps to identify them.


#1 is Keira Knightley (First, why does the 'e' come before the 'i' in her name??  It makes no sense.  But anyway.  I've seen her in The Phantom Menace, Princess of Thieves, Pride and Prejudice (2005), the Pirates of the Caribbean movies, and in part of Jack Ryan:  Shadow Recruit.)

#2 is Martin Freeman (I've seen him in The Hobbit trilogy and bits and pieces of the BBC television show Sherlock.)

#3 is Lucy Griffiths (I've seen her in the BBC television show Robin Hood.)

#4 is Paul Bettany (I've seen him in Inkheart, A Knight's Tale, Master and Commander, and The Tourist.)

#5 is Daniela Denby-Ashe (I've seen her in North and South (2004).)

#6 is Robert Duvall (I've seen him in Secondhand Lions, Broken Trail, Lonesome Dove, To Kill a Mockingbird, and part of Tender Mercies, I think.)

#7 is Amy Adams (I've seen her in Enchanted, Leap Year, and Man of Steel.)

#8 is Billy Boyd (I've seen him in The Lord of the Rings trilogy and Master and Commander.)

#9 is Emily Watson (I've seen her in Miss Potter, The Book Thief, Belle, and something else that's nagging me but which I can't place.)

#10 is Howard Keel (I've seen him in Seven Brides for Seven Brothers and Calamity Jane.)

    *goes back to check the pictures*

    That's Daniela Denby-Ashe?! Man, I never would have guessed that. What on earth is she doing with blonde hair.

    Isn't Robert Duvall amazing in TKAM? He's only got, what, two minutes, and he says nothing, but his very presence is just so awesome. Best cast character in the whole movie. He should have gotten an Oscar for that. (btw, did you know that was his first role? Not bad!)

    I actually just watched Tender Mercies a few nights ago....it has a classic American, old-timey feel that I enjoy, though it wasn't mind-blowing or anything. BUT HE SINGS. And he's actually really good. That's cool, we've seen him in all the same movies. :-) I've also seen him in Gods and Generals (Which Is Completely and Utterly Awesome), and a movie called Geronimo, which is reeeeaaaally sad. (Oh yeah, and The Great Santini. But we don't talk about that.) ;-P

    Oh yes, Billy Boyd. That was it. ;-)

      Heehee, yes, doesn't she look sooo different as a blonde?

      Robert Duvall as Boo made the rest of an all-ready perfect movie even better. I mean, for real. Gregory Peck AND Robert Duvall? What is this thing?!?! And yes, I love that it's his first Hollywood role:D

      Yes, I'd like to watch Tender Mercies again someday. I KNOW. He sings! It's so exciting! *fangirling* Ooh, I'd really like to watch Gods and Generals! I've heard elsewhere as well that it's amazing, but I haven't yet watched it. It'll probably make me cry, though, won't it?;)

      Yes, you'll cry. I reduce into a puddle of tears every time I see the Irish fighting each other, and hear those pipes playing.....*SOB* It's SOOOO good. :-)

    Wow! I've seen N&S, and very recently too, but I did not recognize Daniela Denby-Ashe with blonde hair! But that explains why she still looked familiar! Wow, so different like that!

    Very fun!

      Doesn't she look so different? When I first saw a picture of her as a blonde, I couldn't believe it was her!:D

    WHY did I not play this. I'm off to play your current game. I'm SO glad you do games too - I get tired of being the only one, sometimes. :-)

    Keira Knightley's mom misspelled her name on her birth certificate. Now you know :-)

Comments make my day. Seriously. I'd be so happy if you commented. :)

I've gotten really bad about replying in a timely manner, but it's always my intention to do so eventually. (Even though it doesn't always happen. ;))

Lark Rise to Candleford, Seasons 1-4 {review}

Well, darlin's, here 't'is!  A review of the TV series Lark Rise to Candleford .   SO!  I finished the final season the other night, and am here to discuss my thoughts;)  (Spoilers will be sprinkled indiscriminately!  Read at your own risk;D) LRtC centers around young Laura Timmins, a girl from the wee hamlet of Lark Rise, who moves to the  more affluent town of Candleford to work in her aunt's (or was she just a cousin?) post office.  Miss Dorcas Lane is probably the wealthiest person in Candleford and holds a lot of sway with the townspeople.  With Laura's advent into Candleford, the two communities begin to be intertwined. The show's basic plots aren't my absolute favorites, but I love how relaxed the show is, and how marvelous the characters are.  (Because they just ARE.)  It's a cozy series, but at the same time there are moments of rather intense drama.   I'm not feeling extremely eloquent for reviewing this series, heh

My Dream Cast for a Live-Action Remake of 'The Incredibles'

Alas, no, I am aware of no immediate plans for Disney to produce a live-action version of The Incredibles .  But if such plans should ever materialize . . . have I got a cast ready for them or what. 😉 ⸻ Elastigirl / Helen Parr Emma Stone Emma would rock Helen's grit & sass like no other actress available today & I will not be accepting criticism of that statement at this time.  I would absolutely love to see her in this role.  She would crush it.  Mr. Incredible / Bob Parr Eric Allan Kramer I know he's a leetle too old now, especially as a partner for Stone, but he's the only person I've ever been able to envision as Bob.  (Except Alan Hale, Jr., but he's about six feet too old.)  So it is what it is, peeps.  Violet Parr Mackenzie Foy   I went back and forth on the casting for Violet.  I would also love to see what Millie Bobby Brown could do with the role, so it was difficult to decide.  In the end, I think Mackenzie Foy would still be my first choice, but

Romeo and Juliet (2013) {review}

[Note:  Keep in mind that this review is written from the perspective of someone who has never actually read Romeo and Juliet , m'kay?:)  Also, there'll be spoilers, because, I mean…all things considered, you probably know how it all ends.] I first became seriously interested in watching this movie a) because of the utter gorgeousness of all the stills I saw on the Internet, and b) because it has Hailee Steinfeld.  I'd only seen her in True Grit (2011), but, I thought, wouldn't it be cool to see her in a completely different role? So, yesterday, I watched it.  And…I'm not quite sure what I think of it. First things first.  This movie was beautiful .  It was one of those films where you think, "I want just about this entire movie in screencaps."  The cinematography was excellent.  The lighting, the camera angles, the costumes and sets …aaaaaaahhhhh. See what I mean?? Hailee Steinfeld was absolutely precious as Juliet Capulet.  I th
