Coming April 4th, 2008

A fun outing for Gerard.  His American accent sounds kind of weird to my ears as I can still hear that delightful Scottish lilt.  I enjoyed it but would not list it as one of the best.

P.S. I Love You (2007) .... Gerry Kennedy

Gerard is so loveable in this movie.  I had seen him in 300 and did not recognize him and then purchased Beowulf and thought it okay.  I had already seen the mega special effects version and liked that.  When I saw this film, I thought wow!!  I need to see more of his work.  I had not really paid him much notice in Tomb Raider or Reign of Fire.  This film really showcases his ability to play a regular guy!!  So cute!!!! 

Butterfly on a Wheel (Shattered) (2007) .... Neil Randall

I did not like this movie.  Gerard's character was kind of slimy guy, but he was looking fine though sounded strange to me with the American accent.  I much preferred PS I Love You and Dear Frankie although they were not thrillers but still modern characters.  Gerard can obviously play a modern guy, a hero from ancient history or a fabulous romantic character called 'the Phantom of the Opera.' 

300 (2006) .... King Leonidas

Who could believe that the fellow shouting 'this is Sparta' is the same guy who played the sensitive stranger in Dear Frankie or the charming Phantom or the enigmatic Dracula.  I have watched 300 Spartans and enjoyed the story, but Gerard playing Leonidas is just so powerful there is no comparison to any other film on the subject.  Action Star of The Year 2007

Beowulf & Grendel (2005) .... Beowulf

Not sure how I feel about this movie.  Gerard was great but it ended in a rather unsatisfying way.

 

Trailer for a Remake of Gore Vidal's Caligula (2005) .... Prefect Cassius     Chaerea
The Game of Their Lives aka Miracle Match (2005) .... Frank Borghi

At the telling of this story, one can only wonder if Gerard was a soccer goalie in another life.  He surely does some fantastic work to give the US a win against England in the true story of a great  sports upset in the 1950 World Cup.  Don't remember hearing of this film so it may not have done well at the box office but it is well worth watching the US team kick butt.

The Phantom of the Opera (2004) .... The Phantom.

There could be no other Phantom but Gerard.  I was blown away by his charisma and fabulous singing.  He has an obvious hypnotic effect on Christine and she could so easily have succumbed to his seductive charms.  I have heard some of the songs performed by Michael Crawford and much prefer the rock quality of Gerard's voice.  One of my all time favorite musicals!!!

Dear Frankie (2004) .... The Stranger

I love this movie!  The story is so poignant and Gerard plays 'the stranger' as very sensitive and sweet.  Wow!  What woman wouldn't want a guy like his character.   And, a couple of twists at the end just make it so much better.  One to watch many times.

Timeline (2003) .... André Marek   

Fascinating adventure film of a trip to the past where one man meets his destiny.  Very good casting for Gerard as he seemed very comfortable and natural in the 17th century.  Except when he was trying to ask his lady love if she had a sweetheart, there was kind of a language barrier.  Very good movie.

Lara Croft Tomb Raider: The Cradle of Life (2003) .... Terry Sheridan

I finally watched the entire movie, not just snippets of it from TV.  It was a very fine performance by Gerard, who would doubt it, but although the story was interesting and action filled, I was not happy that Terry was killed at the end.  I mean come on, the alternate ending still has him die but as a sacrifice to save Lara.  I much preferred that idea.  Gerard is a hunk in this film!

Reign of Fire (2002) .... Creedy

This is an exciting futuristic fantasy film with fire breathing monsters and Creedy is about the only bright spot in it.  His optimistic, smiling persona gives a little comic relief to an otherwise rather dark story. 

"The Jury" (2002) (mini) TV mini-series .... Johnnie Donne
Shooters (2002) .... Jackie Junior
"An Unsuitable Job for a Woman" .... Tim Bolton (1 episode, 2001)

- Playing God (2001) TV episode .... Tim Bolton

Attila (2001) (TV) .... Attila the Hun

A remarkable leader of men whose one flaw is that his arrogance, he much too easily trusts women, which ultimately causes his downfall.  Gerard makes a very convincing Attila.  

 

Jewel of the Sahara (2001) (TV) .... Captain Charles Belamy
Dracula 2000 (2000) .... Dracula.

Gerard gives a very haunting performance as the vampire whose story has been told over and over.  This one has a new twist.  One to watch if you are a GB fan.

Harrison's Flowers (2000) .... Chris Kumac, photojournalist
The Cherry Orchard (1999) .... Yasha
One More Kiss (1999) .... Sam

One of those movies that makes you think.  What is life all about and why do we waste so much time worrying about tomorrow and not living life to it's fullest 'in the moment?'  Gerard is wonderful.

Please! (1999) .... Peter Dunn 

Excellent acting in this short film of a cautionary tale.  Gerard is great.  Check out the You Tube link.

"Lucy Sullivan Is Getting Married" (1999) TV series .... Gus
"The Young Person's Guide to Becoming a Rock Star" (1998) TV series .... Marty  Claymore
Little White Lies (1998) (TV) .... Peter
Tale of the Mummy (1998) .... Burke

Gerard's character was sacrificed within the first fifteen minutes.  The film was not memorable but nice to see a few minutes of GB.

Fast Food (1998/I) .... Jacko
Tomorrow Never Dies (1997) .... Leading Seaman - HMS Devonshire

If you blink and are not listening for the Scottish brogue, you will miss Gerard entirely.  I had to carefully go through in slow-mo to find him.

Mrs. Brown (1997) .... Archie Brown
