For French actors and actresses all the world is definitely a stage as these superstars are seen in an amazing number of both the Cinema of France productions as well as productions outside of the country. Since France was the true birthplace of the movie era and film production, it is only fitting that some of the recent films from this country featured truly notable French stars.
In the last thirty years there have been an amazing number of French actors and actresses hitting the big screen in a big way. Directed by countryman Jean-Pierre Jeunet, his movie Amelie was the highest earning French language film every shown in the United States. In 2008 Marion Cotillard won the Academy Award for Best Actress and the Golden Globe for Best Actress in the French language movie La Vie en Rose.
Other famous French stars include Jean Reno of Pink Panther, The Dachshund Vinci Code, Mission Impossible as well as Godzilla and more recently the comedy Couples Retreat. Gérard Depardieu is another well know French film star of the 1980s and 1990s that has since gone on to become a well known international film-maker. In the not too distant past other French stars such as Catherine Deneuve, Brigitte Bardo and Maria Schneider also made their mark both nationally and international on the big screen.

Electronic Cigarettes Is Catching On Amongst Celebrities
There’s a new trend in Hollywood, and the name of the game is electronic cigarettes. This popular trend came into the public’s awareness when Kathrine Heigl brought one to the David Letterman show. Letterman himself tried the electronic cigarette (with some satisfaction), and since then more and more people, celebrities as well as us “regular people” has made the switch to electronic cigarettes.
And with good reason to – if you are reading this as one of the few who hasn’t heard of the electronic cigarette you should know that it’s a new device that allows you to smoke like a normal cigarette, inhaling nicotine and exhaling vapor, but without all the dangers of normal cigarette smoking.
And the trend among celebrities is spreading outside the borders of America. In Europe, Super-Smoke is reporting that more and more celebrities are joining the trend. “It seems to catch on – once something is cool, the rest of the group want’s it as well.” And it’s good news, not only for the electronic cigarette retailers, but also for the general public health. History shows that when something is first established amongst the celebrities, the regular people joins in – first the first-movers, then the trendsetters and then the rest of the crowd, until it is all of the sudden only the really uncool and illiterate people that smokes.
Below you can see the video of Kathrine Heigl visiting David Letterman with her electronic cigarette
Sleep Well
It may seem entirely logical, but sleep really is one of the major components which needs to be in perfect balance in order for humans to be able to function. When we are younger 4 hours of sleep normally does the job, but when we get older (and wiser) we know that around 8 hours are needed. If we do net get these 8 hours we may encounter fatigue during the next day. Therefore it is a good advice to purchase a good pillow (pude in Danish) and a good matrass (madras in Danish). It may seem rather expensive, but the money is really well spend! Being able to sleep through the night and getting a good night sleep really is quite important. There a good advice would be to invest in good sleep.

Mobile phones
The market for phones is expanding, and the possibilities are overwhelming. It isn’t always easy to find a phone suited for you, since the salesassistant in the store always will sell you the most expensive they’ve got. I have therefore found 3 phones for different needs and also varoius in price, so you don’t have to pay a fortune if you just want a phone that’s able to make calls.
The first phone is a classic Nokia, which is made with no unneccesary applications. This phone is ideal for older people who don’t want to have a fancy phone, they don’t even know how to manage. It’s also great if you want your kid to have a phone you can afford that they lose. It’s the nokia 2730, which is actually the most popular phone at the market today (not including smartphones.)
The second phone is a smartphone. It’s from Sony Ericsson and is small and convinient, still featuring all the good qualities you need if you use your phone alot. It’s the sony ericsson x8, it’s quite cheap comparred to other phones with the same qualities and very user-friendly as all phones from se. Can definately be recommended.
The last phone is a bit more pricy, but for a cause. The samsung galaxy s is a bit larger than most phones because of the impressive display which makes galaxy ideal for watching and recording vidoes. The phone has all qualities you can ask of a modern phone. A more informative describtion of all phones are to be found if you take a look at the links.
Comedian Dany Boon
There are a wide range of different styles of French comedian styles and performances and for a unique one man show you cannot help but look to the stylings of Dany Boon. His self appointed stage name is meant to reflect the historical American figure of Daniel Boone, although his given name is Daniel Hamidou. He was born in 1966 in Armentières, France, which is right on the Belgian border.
His background as a comedian starts as a mime working on the streets of Paris but he quickly was spotted and featured on several television shows starting in the early 1990s. His work has included comedy works in specific French dialects, many which are poking fun of the political and cultural prejudices seen between different regions of the country. This first movie, aptly named Bienvenue chez les Ch’tis or Welcome to the Sticks, became the second highest viewed film in French cinemas, with the record holder being the classic Titanic.
Not only is Dany Boon a writer, actor and director he is also a producer and continues to provide a wide variety of shows as a comedian. As of 2008 Boon became the highest paid actor in all of Europe, earning about thirty three million dollars in that year alone.
French Writer And Producer Luc Besson
Film lovers around the world will certainly know this prolific French writer and producer. Luc Besson, born in Paris in 1959 has written, directed, produced and created over 50 different films, most which have a substantial international following.
Perhaps Besson’s best known films internationally include the science fiction thriller The Fifth Element staring Bruce Willis and Chris Tucker, as well as the 1990 version of Nikita and several movies staring Jet Li including the Kiss of the Dragon films. One of the most acclaimed movies this French writer produced with Le Grand Bleu, which became a cult classic but was heavily downplayed by the critics.
In addition to all his writing and directing, Luc Besson is also considered to be one of the founders of the Cinéma du look style of film production in the 1990s. This style, based on incorporating various styles and elements into one film to create greater visual impact and slightly less focus in on a particular political view or moralistic story. He has also created the Arthur collection of movies and books, the last one Arthur and the Invisibles which was made into a block buster movie combining both animation and part live action.
Film Director and Writer Claude Sautet
As with many famous film directors and writers Claude Sautet was as student of the arts from a very early age. Born in 1924 in a small Parisian suburb called Montrouge he first found his interest in art, sculpting and painting but quickly moved into formal study of film. In his early career Claude Sautet worked as a television producer but then in 1969 he became internationally recognized with his own film, Les Choses de la Vie, which started Romy Schnieder.
Claude Sautet continued to write and direct a number of plays and films on his own, but he also wrote for other directors as well. One of his most famous movies, released in 1974 was Vincent, Paul, François, et les Autres, which featured stars such as Gérard Depardieu and Yves Montand among others.
The awards claimed by this wonderful French film director and writer included the Silver Lion award from the Venice Film Festival and two César Awards for Best Director for Un Coeur en hiver and Nelly et Monsieur Arnaud. Although film director and writer Claude Sautet passed away from cancer in 2000 he is still considered to be a visionary and leader in French film on an international level.
