Russell Crowe

Blockbuster.co.uk's Marshall Julius casts an eye over the tempestuous private life and heavyweight professional career of 3:10 to Yuma star Russell Crowe. A whip-cracking, rip-roaring, gun-blasting western with a rough, tough cast of Hollywood heavyweights, 3:10 to Yuma stars Russell Crowe as black-hearted desperado Ben Wade and Christian Bale as struggling rancher Dan Evans, motivated by financial concerns to deliver the recently captured Wade to justice.

The Curse of Colin

Colin isn't a good name for an actor. It may not be a good name for anyone. It's a Scottish name, as it happens, and it means youth. There was a time when it ranked among the top fifty names in Scotland. Now it's not even in the top hundred. The world, it seems, is finally waking up to the limitations the name Colin imposes upon a person. For example, no Colin has ever won an Academy Award® for Best Actor. Not even for Best Supporting actor.
