[edit] Acclaimed

I reinserted the assertion the Memento was critically-acclaimed - in my original version there was a word missing and I assume the half-phrase 'the critically' (with acclaimed missing) was removed so that it made grammatical sense rather than any POV concerns? If there were POV concerns too, then I'd contend that the phrase is reporting of fact rather than an opinion. Pcb21 11:24 13 Jun 2003 (UTC)

[edit] sub par

I agree with the sub-par designation. Here are some recommendations I would like to suggest:

• Is there any evidence of her specifically being sought after to make the statement: "was snapped up by some of Hollywood’s most prominent producers"? If not - then she was hired, just like other actors and actreses and we can streamline that section
• the phrase "audiences saw her in..." gets old fast. Can't we just say she starred in them?
• Trivia section needs a lot of work:

   * mention of her early role in a Canadian tv show called Matrix is double-listed - under Bio & Trivia - remove one of them
   * Trivia "Her husband, Steven Roy, is an actor" <-- bio not trivia?
   * "Toured Europe with her high school choir." <-- bio not trivia?
   * Maybe all the Maria Bello info might be better for the bio than the trivia?

Agree that the section needs work, and only a publicist would say "snapped up" and "Hollywood’s most prominent producers". Aristoi 16:31, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

I agree, so changed it. Accounting4Taste 17:37, 28 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Removed Moss quote

I've removed the following from the article. A google search of a phrase from the quote[1] turned up only Wikipedia and a handful of other sites drawing their content from Wikipedia, so I don't think it's reasonable to keep this here unless a concrete source can be given.

She had this to say about the films that made her famous (The Matrix and its sequels): "The moral of all the films is that love conquers all, destiny, believing in your past, making choices that support your destiny, being responsible for the choices that you make, believing in something that you're willing to fight for that you think is important, believing in good, freedom and believing that unless you have a choice then there's no freedom. Having a choice gives you freedom and then it's being responsible for that choice."^{[citation needed]}

[edit] Outrage.

I'm shocked: no picture! —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 80.240.99.39 (talk) 16:45, 17 January 2007 (UTC).

Yeah, we need a picture. 66.174.93.104 19:32, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Bias?

I don't like the sentence with "... then she starred in four further movies". Her part in Red Planet was not exactly big and, considering all the other roles in Cholat, one could only say that she co-starred.

I like her as much as the next warm-blooded male and she looked great in latex, but I feel the style of this paragraph is heavily fan-biased.
