***

I know you like the non food giveaways as much as the food giveaways so today we have a movie double pass giveaway for the new film The Boys Are Back! The film is directed by Scott Hicks from Shine and stars Clive Owen, Emma Booth, Erik Thomson, Julia Blake and Chris Haywood and starts its season on November 12. I don’t want to give it all away but it is about a British Sports journalist who finds himself as the single parent of a six year old boy as well as his older teenage son and is inspired by a true story and based on the book by Simon Carr.

To win 1 of the 5 double passes, all you have to do is tell me the name of your favourite actor. Add your entry via a comment to this story. You can enter once daily as long as your answer is different (although how many favourites can one have right? ). This competition is open to Australian residents only.

This will be a quick competition so it finishes midnight AEST (Australian Eastern Standard Time) on the 12th of November, 2009.

Good Luck to everyone!

Love,

Lorraine

Hayden Christensen!
4. Trisha | November 7, 2009 at 7:41 am | #

I saw the ad yesterday I can’t believe Clive Owen has another movie!!!!
Ok to tell you the truth, and I’m not bluffing… my favourite actor is Clive Owen!
I’m sorry… I know it sounds like I’m sucking up because it is a Clive Owen movie but I was inlove with him especially in Sin City and King Arthur!
5. Jo Murray | November 7, 2009 at 7:42 am | #

ooohhhh I would have to say my favourite actor is Liam Neeson. I cannot pin point the exact thing I like about him ~ his brilliant acting ability, his irish accent, his chisselled features or the general fact he makes me weak at the knees!!! LOL!!
6. Harimau | November 7, 2009 at 8:28 am | #

Mmm… Sean Connery?
7. Amy@takentopieces | November 7, 2009 at 8:57 am | #

My favourite actor is Jeremy Northam, mainly because he played Mr Knightly in Emma and Mr Knightly is my favourite Austen hero. He is also in my favourite movie, Gosford Park, as is Clive Owens
8. hayleyfern | November 7, 2009 at 9:05 am | #

honestly, my favourite actor is clive owen. it all started after i had a delicious dream about him! but who can forget his great performance in ‘beyond borders’ and ‘derailed’. mmm clive owen.
9. Faith | November 7, 2009 at 9:10 am | #

Sounds like a great movie, I love Clive Owen!
10. Fiona | November 7, 2009 at 9:21 am | #

I don’t care what Rish says, I love Sandra Bullock.
11. amra | November 7, 2009 at 9:28 am | #

Morgan freeman
12. Athena | November 7, 2009 at 9:41 am | #

Ewan McGregor – so versatile, he can act, sing and dance. Easy on the eye, and looks great in motorbike gear and on his bike too!
13. ross powell | November 7, 2009 at 9:46 am | #

has to be a oldtimefavourite BetteDavis love the eyes the walk,the great characters she played like baby jane,margo channing,in films like all about eve,now voyager,the letter etc etc still totally watchable 60 years latter the true mark of a legend
14. Jane | November 7, 2009 at 9:51 am | #

Clive Owen is the best. My favourite actor since I first saw him in a series about a guy losing his sight about 10 years ago, so handsome and a wonderful actor too.
15. Alex | November 7, 2009 at 9:52 am | #

Hi Lorraine,

This is easy for me (and everyone who knows me would know this too!) Definitely, 100% without a doubt, Leo!
I think our love started blossoming in What’s Eating Gilbert Grape, but was fully cemented in Titanic. I am convinced there is a Hollywood conspiracy against him though; in so many of his popular movies he gets killed! Even though I think the Departed is a wonderful movie, I can’t enjoy it knowing what happens to my bebe.
I realised our love was eternal when I heard he was going to be starring in one of my favourite books, Revolutionary Road, and when I read his enviro credentials it seals the deal. I have full permission from my boyfriend, should the occasion arise, to scheme and plot and make him mine!
16. Theresa | November 7, 2009 at 9:55 am | #

Clive Owen is my favourite actor.
17. Terry Munslow-Davies | November 7, 2009 at 9:59 am | #

Cate Blanchett
18. PavlovaQueen | November 7, 2009 at 10:09 am | #

Meryl Streep!!
19. Cheryl Moulton | November 7, 2009 at 10:09 am | #

I have always admired Reese Witherspoon, with her distinct pointed chin with the dimple & her versatility with acting roles.
She can move from one movie genre` to another smoothly and efficiently. Her portrayal of June Carter in the Johnny Cash movie was brilliant
20. Howard | November 7, 2009 at 10:27 am | #

Joan Chen
21. Jen | November 7, 2009 at 10:31 am | #

Zac Efron. I think that deep down, I never grew up past the age that really is High School Musical’s target audience.
22. Leanne Aquilina | November 7, 2009 at 10:44 am | #

My favourite actor is Jack Nicholson
23. TanyaB | November 7, 2009 at 10:56 am | #

Probably Ben Stiller – he ALWAYS makes me laugh without fail…. just think ZOOLANDER…!
24. juliet | November 7, 2009 at 11:12 am | #

It would have to be Chris Haywood – he seems to pop up in all the good Ausie films!
25. Sally | November 7, 2009 at 11:15 am | #

Clive Owen
26. Carina | November 7, 2009 at 11:19 am | #

Hilary Duff! Strange..but she was the first to make me cry
27. Dorothy | November 7, 2009 at 11:23 am | #

Clive Owen because he’s a really good actor and not bad looking
28. Angie | November 7, 2009 at 11:26 am | #

Sean Penn
29. Christine Barter | November 7, 2009 at 11:37 am | #

Antonio Banderas is my favourite actor. Those smouldering Latin good looks get me every time…must admit tho that Clive Owen is pretty yummy!
30. Kay | November 7, 2009 at 11:43 am | #

Maggie Smith she is the best
31. Sarah | November 7, 2009 at 11:45 am | #

Viggo Mortensen – a total spunk in all facets…he’s intelligent, multi-lingual, has great looks that seem to get better with age, and is a fantastic, intense, humourous actor who has a great body of work behind him, and hopefully many many more movies to come, and I will enjoy watching him in every single one.

See his talents shine in;
A History of Violence
and
Eastern Promises.

Sarah/not writing this for the free tickets but just so I can blab on as a real dribbling fan.
ps. I bet he is also a fine cook.
32. Miki | November 7, 2009 at 11:57 am | #

Clive Owen is currently on the top of my list, for sure…
33. Ju Treanor | November 7, 2009 at 11:59 am | #

Would have said Clive Owen but he’s in this movie so instead will say Russell Crowe, the great down to earth Aussie who puts everything into his parts
34. sally | November 7, 2009 at 11:59 am | #

My favourite actor is Edward Norton, he can put himself in a role and be the character – not the celebrity. I like the fact he’s not always in the magazines talking about his personal life. He has DIGNITY !
35. Anna Geldenhuys | November 7, 2009 at 12:01 pm | #

Sean Connery, always Brilliant!!
36. Ros Mayes | November 7, 2009 at 12:04 pm | #

Jordan Sturdee…he played the Christmas tree in last year’s nativity and this year he’s a reporter looking for the true meaning of Christmas!!!!
37. gliderguider | November 7, 2009 at 12:06 pm | #

Anne Hathaway
38. KymT | November 7, 2009 at 12:23 pm | #

My favourite actor is not a man at all but a woman, Reece Witherspoon, I like her pose, grace, real body, acting skills and she is great at one of the most important jobs in the world, being a Mum.
39. Colleen Phillips | November 7, 2009 at 12:29 pm | #

Johnny Depp, have followed him since 21 Jump Street, he is brilliant in whatever he is in and never ceases to amaze me with his versatility.
40. Kimchee | November 7, 2009 at 12:36 pm | #

Paris Hilton?? *roll eyes*
41. isLa | November 7, 2009 at 12:46 pm | #

42. Barbara Fehmel | November 7, 2009 at 1:03 pm | #

I adore “George Clooney” This is a story that quite a few mwn must have experienced, and the trials that they go through.
43. Amanda | November 7, 2009 at 2:10 pm | #

Brad Pitt in Snatch. Fookin Pikeys!
44. Karla Leeson | November 7, 2009 at 4:42 pm | #

47. Lynn Swannell | November 7, 2009 at 8:41 pm | #

It just has to be Audrey Hepburn – class and sophistication all the way.
48. Monika | November 7, 2009 at 9:45 pm | #

Really love Eric Bana… have really enjoyed him from his early days……
49. Alison Sainsbury | November 8, 2009 at 8:42 am | #

I saw this on Friday night and it’s really good. It raises some really interesting questions about fatherhood and parenting generally, as well as being just gorgeous and very moving…
50. Stefania | November 8, 2009 at 12:45 pm | #

Gerard Butler because he has proven to be a versatile actor with a lot of passion and is extremely easy to look at which always helps!!!
51. Ruth Slater | November 8, 2009 at 1:40 pm | #

Can I just have the poster? Sigh….
52. Chris | November 8, 2009 at 5:29 pm | #

Helen Mirren is fantasic – loved her in Calendar Girls
53. anakitty | November 8, 2009 at 5:53 pm | #

OOOh. Johhny Depp for number one for sure.
54. Sarah | November 8, 2009 at 6:37 pm | #

Hi NQN!

My favourite actor of all time is actually Clive Owen. From GOsford Park to Shoot ‘Em Up, I’ve seen every movie he’s ever done.

PS. Love your blog BTW!!
59. mikey | November 9, 2009 at 9:59 am | #

Hi Lorraine,

My fave actor is Robin Williams. While he is a comic genious, think about movies like “Dead Poets Society” (my fave movie of all time) and “24hr Photo” (how frightening was that movie!)

‘gards,
mikey
60. Anna Geldenhuys | November 9, 2009 at 10:55 am | #

Nicholas Cage, dynamic actor.
61. Danie | November 9, 2009 at 11:52 am | #

Johnny Depp, he does weird, dark and quirky brilliantly, but can do mainstream just as brilliantly!
62. Jen | November 9, 2009 at 12:40 pm | #

Hands down no contest – Hugh Jackman!!
63. Caroline | November 9, 2009 at 12:45 pm | #

Definitely Hugh Grant – who can’t go weak at the knees with that accent??
64. Monica | November 9, 2009 at 1:06 pm | #

Robert De Niro without a doubt. Super talented.
67. suzee | November 9, 2009 at 7:49 pm | #

Sean Connery!
Still got it after all these years! Check out the ad about the handbags/travelbags. He was a natural born/organic man….long before steroids were ever invented!
68. Trish | November 10, 2009 at 8:44 am | #

Outside the box ..Favourite 1.Rowan Atkinson because we all need daily dose of (MR) Bean(s)in our lives.
