In Tinsel Town, the saying goes; you're only as good as your last film. An actor or actress can open a film to $100 million dollars in tickets sold, but if their next film doesn't perform as well, they can suddenly find themselves as yesterday's news. The experts agree on one thing: lasting power is the key. It's not how an actor does with one film, but how they do with an entire body of work that makes a name great. So with the current crop of actresses. Katie Holmes and Kate Hudson may be the new millennium starlets, but will anyone remember their names ten years or 15 years from now?

Hollywood builds up stars and pits them out so fast; it's hard to keep track of who's considered "hot" and who's considered "not". Add to the fact that today's movies are almost more reliant on special effects than on actual talent, so the question is who is the real star? A handful of actors and actresses have risen above the quagmire to be considered new millennium stars, and of this group, Colin Farrell and Orlando Bloom seem to be at the apex of their careers.

We've seen them on the silver screen for years - forever fighting the good fight and protecting the world from evil. Stars like Clint Eastwood, The Rock and Sylvester Stallone are bigger than reality. They are ingrained in our subconscious and are a reflection of who we want to be. When Sylvester Stallone mows down twenty bad guys we share his victory. When the Rock body slams an opponent we cheer his every move. But these days, are these tough guys really tough enough?

They are sensuous and sleek, as likely to cuddle up for a kiss as they are to slit your throat. With all the right curves in all the right places, they are making the hearts of men all over the world go pitter-patter. They are the tough girls of the silver screen. Angelina Jolie and Jennifer garner are two of the most well known, but are they really as tough in real life as they are in the characters they play?

Classic Hollywood actors like Will Rodgers and James Stewart have something magical in their appearances and their imagines. Why have fair and sensitive ladies of three or more generations been falling in love with them for more than 50 years already? Are they really so close to perfection? And why aren't there such gentlemen now in Hollywood who could make all women from 80 to 14 spend sleepless night dreaming of them?

Many actors have played the coveted role of James Bond. Roger Moore, Pierce Brosman, and Timothy Dalton come to mind. Certainly the Bond heroes have been many. But even after nearly 50 years of Bond adventures, there will only be one James Bond and Sean Connery is the actor to play him. Connery was the first to play 007 and also the most memorable. In that first moment when Connery spoke the inimitable phrase, ?My name is Bond?James Bond,? the film world had a new icon.

The Bond villains are not quite as famous as the Bond actors, but they deserve some attention and interest. Two of the best Bond villains were Joseph Wiseman and Robert Shaw.

Robert Shaw embodied everything that is evil in a villain! Joseph Wiseman was equally memorable as ?Doctor No? in the Bond film of the same name.

Movie-goers talk about anime like it's the next big thing, but in fact it's been a mainstay of Japanese cinema for decades!

But in the last 10 years anime has made huge strides in its subject matter and is finally getting the attention and respect it deserves.

Who would have believed that after an incredible 20 years on prime time television, The Simpsons is still going strong, and with no end in sight! For all its absurdity, The Simpsons may just be on e of the more realistic depictions of a typical American middle class family. Animation TV shows like South Park are far from typical in what they represent! We'd like to think our children don't really act like the ones on South Park, but wouldn't you know it -- their behavior is continuously imitated.

There are some TV shows that were created to entertain but turned out to be "a lifestyle-forming" TV shows. They make us laugh and think and every day when they are on TV we put off our job (even if it's impossible to do) and turn on the TV set. And in the morning, when they repeat the series we watch it again just to make sure we didn't miss anything from the night before. You know what we are talking about "The Office"!

They are two of Hollywood's most endeared funny men: Steve Martin and Jim Carey. Surprisingly, they have never starred together in a movie. But that's o-k, as their individual efforts more than make up for it. They are both masters of physical comedy. Steve Martin started out as part of the original cast of Saturday Night Live, and Jim Carey had his first break on a short-lived television series called The Duck Factory. Two different roads leading to the same success.

Hollywood is a dream factory. And its products make us laugh and cry and shiver with fright. The cinema may be the best way for us to forget about whom we really are and the seriousness of the world around us. The best way to prevent us from worrying about our challenges of daily life is through laughter. To laugh at situations we are often in, at people we keep in touch with and of course at us ourselves is too laugh at life. And two of Hollywood's queens of comedy are laughing right along with us, none other than funny ladies Goldie Hawn and Meg Ryan.
