Discovering good movies, one bad movie at a time


We’re turning our attention to movie stars for our next episode – specifically, to movie stars right at the beginning of their stardom. We’re looking at our all-time favorite acting debuts, the very best performances by new actors who manage to prove in their very first time in front of a camera that they have what it takes to hold our attention, to make us cry, to make us laugh, and to stick around for years to come.

In Worth Mentioning we cover Irresistible and Homecoming.
