Year: 2004

M. Night Shyamalan has certainly proven that he can write a terrifically scary film, but it was 2004's The Village that kept audiences everywhere feeling unrelentless intensity and suspense. Another reason this film is so good: it introduced us to the amazingly talented Bryce Dallas Howard.

Ginger of the Week

I started off this category with one of my favorite gingers, Bryce Dallas Howard. The offspring of another famous red-head (former actor and current director/producer Ron Howard), she has been a breathe of fresh air in an industry full of bottle-blonds. With her star-making debut in M. Night Shyamalan's spooky "The Village", she made her mark (and managed to out-shine big names Joaquin Phoenix, Adrien Brody, and Sigourney Weaver). With a string of other hits (including "Lady in the Water", "Spiderman 3", "Terminator: Salvation", and now as the new 'Victoria' in the Twilight saga) beautiful Howard has shown that nepotism isn't the only reason she has become a success.

Brit of the Week

Michael Sheen (Feb. 5, 1969) hails from Newport, Wales, the son of Irene and Meyrick Sheen. He attended Glan Afan Comprehensive School and played football at the Baglan Boy's Club. He was offered a trial at Arsenal FC (a professional English football league), but turned it down in order to pursue his dream of acting. Sheen trained at the National Youth Theatre of Wales and went on to study at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts. He got his big break on a television series called "Gallowglass" and moved right on to films with his roles in "Mary Reilly" and "Wilde". Sheen's major leap to star came when he was given the role of 'Lucien' in 2003's "Underworld". Since then he has appeared in "The Laws of Attraction", "The Queen", "Blood Diamond", "Frost/Nixon", and most recently "Alice in Wonderland" and "Tron: Legacy". Up next for the Brit: "Jesus Henry Christ" (with Toni Collette), "Midnight in Paris" (with Rachel McAdams, Adrien Brody, and Owen Wilson), and the last two films in the "Twilight" series.
