Orlando in Cannes?
posted by Jas, 05/15/05
Someone posted her report from the Cannes Film Festival at Aint' It Cool and mentioned that she met Orlando there on day two of the festival.
It rains every year at least once during the Cannes Film Festival. Today was the first (and I hope the last) day. Though I saw only one film today, "Election", we had quite an interesting day. Going to the Carlton to check on the Star Wars press office, I saw Samuel L. Jackson at the Reception Desk. Tall and very handsome for a middle-aged man, he was very casual and smiling. Some 20 minutes later, Hayden Christensen arrived, looking quite shy but seeming very nice... and more handsome than I thought he was ! We saw Orlando Bloom on Day 2 and no comparison there (sorry to say so, to any Orlando gal-fan !) ! I also saw Natalie Portman : beautiful smile and she seems like a very nice woman.

Critics are harsh on Orlando Bloom
posted by Jas, 05/15/05
MSNBC reports that critics are harsh on Orlando in Kingdom of Heaven and I agree, it's his first lead role give the guy a break! not his fault that the script is weak.
Orlando Bloom fans are cringing over the rough treatment that the "Lord of the Rings" heartthrob has received at the hands of critics in his latest role, "Kingdom of Heaven." Orlando Bloom plays Balian, a blacksmith-turned-knight, in this epic about the twelfth-century crusades, and critics have tarnished Bloom's armor. "More than anything, this often fascinatingly confused Crusades epic lacks a leading man with the stature to put it over," noted the Boston Globe. "Audiences know Russell Crowe. Russell Crowe is their friend. Orlando Bloom is no Russell Crowe." "Bloom comes across as a vapid California surfer boy trying to be a serious 'artist,' " opined Eclipse magazine. And perhaps most cruelly, from the Seattle Weekly: "As a war hero, Orlando Bloom reminds me of the nickname Truman Capote's father gave him: Little Miss Mouse Fart."
