Russel Crowe is an actor that is a good example of this he gave an amazing preformance in Romper Stomper then went to hollywood and has basically turned to shit. Maybe I'm just being anal but hollywood lacks honesty and gutsy prefermances whereas b-movies just seem more raw and gutsy. Foreign films are excellent I love each country's spin on generic formulas. I really enjoy a lot of the films of the French New Wave period. I'll have to find some copies of a lot of those movies. I've been meaning to watch Man Bites Dog again too.... I was reading a article about it in an old Gorezone mag and thought it was about time I dusted off my old copy of it and rewatch it.

Kevin Spacey is another one sinking into the shithole ...
The French New Wave is my all time favorite period of film ...
I also love the italian movies of the same period ...
These are the ones i've been collecting like mad on laserdisc ..
