> [@Maureen](#): > > **The Fifth Element** > **Shibb** , have you seen **Hero** yet? I love both Jet Li and Tarantino, but no one I know has seen this, and I need a review. No, but I’d go to a matinee with you and spring for a light supper, after. Is it out on DVD already? I’ve heard good things about it, but it’s been so long I don’t remember who said them. ---

**Maggie Smith**. _Hero_ is really good. It’s like _Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon_, except less boring, stupid and ridiculous. ---

> [@twickster](#): > > Nope, even with peeking at IMDb, I haven’t heard of any of these people – should I pick one anyway? eeeh. There’s at least one actor in there who’s done work in American films, and a couple popular British films. ---

I’ll pick **Ian Bannen** as having the longest credits list. Plus he died at Loch Ness, which has to be good for something. ---

> [@Maureen](#): > > _The MatchMaker_ I’ve actually seen this one. **Janeane Garofalo** was in it. When I lived in Hawaii, I hung out with a woman who claimed to be her sister. But I read an interview where Janeane listed her siblings, and this woman was not one of them. ---
