Heath Ledger
 Heath Ledger: Hollywood's Dark Star $19.95 I think this book is very good, but I do think that much more info will be available in the coming years. Heath was (oh, how I hate to say "was")! one of the best actors to come along for a very long time. When think of all the conceited, no-talent peacocks around today, it makes his ill-fated passing even more unfair and sad. Heath's (and Jake's) performance in Brokeback Mountain is so wrenching (like the film itself) it breaks your heart. Of course, that so-called rotten "Academy" denied him, the film and other nominations it rec'd the awards it definitely should have won. (Of the 8 nomiminations it rec'd, it won only three!! This is just unbelievable. That stupid rotten "academy"). I wish I could find a way to end this review; just can't think what would have been ahead for Heath. Damn it - why didn't that maid and the other one wake him up??  Ned Kelly $14.98 I'd take the time to elaborate . . . but it's not worth it. This is just a poor western. See 'Quigley Down Under' with Tom Selleck or 'Broken Trail' with Robert Duval . . . or save your money for 'Shrek 2' - but avoid this like the plauge.  A Tribute to Heath Ledger: The Illustrated Biography $19.95 It's a great book in showcasing photos and discussing Heath's life and legacy. He will always be remembered as one of the best. |
