Fairuza Balk,
a great actress in my perspective...
I guess like most other
people, I didn't hear of Fairuza until I saw The Craft, and I must say
she didn't blew me away. I mean, it was a good film, don't get me wrong,
but it wasn't like I'd seen one brilliant performance. But nevertheless
I found her very intresting, unlike so many other actors out there.
So I got on the
Net and went to the iMDB (Internet Movie DataBase @ www.imdb.com)
and searched for this Fairuza Balk. To my great surprise I saw a whole
bunch of films she did. So I wrote a few down and went to see if I could
find some at my videostore.
At that time Island
of Dr. Moreau had just come out on video, so I took that one with me.
But when I watched
this film, I saw a whole different kind of character. It's hard to explain what it really
is. I think it's the mystical thing she has over her when she plays a part.
She's able to fully get you into the movie.
At this point I
was really convinced about her talent and I decided I just had to get all
of her films. But unfortunately I soon found out that her films were really
hard to get when you're from Europe. Anyway, where I'm from we have a couple
of import-stores so I got some cool movies like Tollbooth, Gas Food Lodging,
Murder in the Heartland.
I have to say until
now my favourite movies are Gas, Food, Lodging and Tollbooth. Not only
are these movies just good to watch, Fairuza also plays killer-roles in
them.
