OBS staff members have complied a list of movies and TV shows that actors/actresses from the upcoming flick ‘New Moon’ starred in. We think these shows and movies are definietly must-see, especailly to warm up to ‘New Moon’! This is just ONE of the awesome features in our ‘New Moon November’!

Rachelle Levefre

Movie name: Do you know me 2009 (Caro’s Pick)

Review: Ellie Carter is recently graduated and has it all. While celebrating with friend and boyfriend, she comes across a milk carton with a picture of a missing child that looks a lot like her. As a prank, they call the toll free number and she realizes that this person could be her. The more she finds out, the closer she gets to getting herself and beloved ones killed. This movie had intense scenes, different from seeing her as Victoria, but a good movie.

TV Show: Big Wolf on Campusyear 1999

Review: The week before he returns to school for his senior year, popular High School jock Tommy Dawkins is bitten and turned into a werewolf. The only person Tommy Dawkins can turn to for help is the school nerd and Goth Fantasy Guild President Merton J Dingle. Now Tommy & Merton while still looking for a cure for Tommy’s condition fight a whole slew of baddies in Pleasantville including Mummies, Vampires, 50′s Bullies, Witches. I mostly remember Rachelle from this show, when I saw that she would play Victoria, I was happy, she definitely understood the genre.

Billy Burke

Movie Name: Untraceable 2008 (Dawn’s Pick)

Review: Billy Burke plays Detective Eric Box. It’s a race against the clock as they try to figure out the identity of the man who is torturing/killing people and putting it on the internet. Although it’s graphic and sickening at times, it’s an interesting movie and definitely worth seeing.

Movie Name: Fracture 2007

Review: Fracture is one of my all time favorites. Billy Burke is perfect as Lt. Robert ‘Rob’ Nunally, the man having an affair with Ted Crawford’s wife. Detective Nunally is called to the scene of a crime, where he finds his lover shot by her husband. Despite confessing, Ted Crawford wiggles his way out of it. Sadly Nunally dies at the end, but his character plays a pivotal part in in the movie.

Jaime Campbell Bower

Movie Name: Sweeny Todd 2007 (Erin’s Pick)

Review: You’re probably not the least but interested in this if you don’t like blood, but just to be safe: this is a bloody movie. But it’s a well done adaptation from the stage, and actors you didn’t know could sing do an amazing job. Jamie Campbell Bower actually has an amazing voice, and you worry about his Anthony getting involved with Sweeney from the get go. With Johnny Depp and Helena Bonham Carter, you know it’ll be well acted. Funny and incredibly morbid blend well together; just don’t see it if you’re going to be eating soon.

Jackson Rathbone

TV Show: Criminal Minds 2009 (Chris’s pick)

Review: Jackson gave an amazing performance in this drama tv series. He was the killer in this episode, but with a multiple personailty disorder, his ‘normal’ side, was a scared young guy that could be very innocent, his counterpart was a female with a nasty lust for vengence. He/She takes on young good looking men, that are the typical jerks. Jackson really protrayed the tormented character to a ‘T’, felt so real, and made me see that this young man is a fantastic actor.
