Hey bob cox….thanks for the thoughts on Amy Adams. She is one of the movie stars to send us an autograph. I agree she’s doing a good job of defeating the curse of 39, so far at least. Hopefully she has an Oscar-winning roll coming down the road. Good stuff.
Steve and Bruce agree on 4 of Amy’s Top 6 best-reviewed movies. BEST STILLS in my opinion.
1/Wedding Date
2/Night at Museum 2
3/Talladega Nights
4/With Clint – I liked that one
5/Vice
6/Sunshine Cleaning
7/Big Eyes – I don’t like Amy as a blonde. I think it spoils her cuteness.
8/Julie and Julia
9/Enchanted
10/Charlie Wilson’s War
11/The Muppets
12/Doubt
13/Catch Me if You Can
14/The Fighter

AND of course the super hero ones as mentioned in Part Two. I think they are some of your best Steve.
“I’ve always really loved action films.” is Amy’s opening quote in Steve’s video. I thought for a moment that Steve was speaking for himself! Anyway the high standard was fairly even throughout the video so my personal satisfaction = a 98% RATING. Good show. I’ve watched it twice already and have just made my final selections of the best pictorials.

PLUS: Not being a fan I often find it hard to distinguish between the action/super hero films with titles like Rambo First Blood Part Two and so on ; but luckily those films do yield the kind of posters/stills that I almost invariably like and that was again the case here.
1/I have seen Amy Adams in 6 movies: Catch me if You Can; Night at Museum 2009; The Master; Man of Steel; Trouble with the Curve and Doubt. I think that Man of Steel which I went to because my grandchildren needed accompanyment is the last of the flood of action/super heroes movies in recent years that I have seen
2/On top of her film career Wikipedia gives details of her involvement with 13 television productions; one stage play [Into the Woods in 2012] 2 music videos; and 3 discography credits.
3/In the pipeline for Amy are 2 movies completed; one at post production stage [Justice League in which she is again Lois Lane] and one at pre-production stage.
4/IMDB credits Amy with 71 awards and 236 noms The Celebrity Net Worth site calculates Amy’s current net worth at $60 million.
Parts 2 and 3 to follow.
Hey Bob……good thoughts on Steve’s Amy Adams video.
Hi Bob, thanks for reviewing my Amy Adams video, the generous rating, info and trivia are always appreciated. Glad you liked the posters and stills.
I wonder how they work out the net worth of these actors and actresses? It must be mostly guesswork surely. Aren’t their finances private? IMDB sometimes prints how much an actor gets for a film. Does the studio release this information?
In the news recently “Johnny Depp has told the high court that he lost $650m he made at the height of his Pirates of the Caribbean fame and was left owing $100m in taxes on account of business managers whom he accused of stealing from him.” Whoa. Hard to believe. And how much profit do the studios make?
One of Amy’s films scored 10 out of 10 from my sources – The Fighter. Four films scored 9 – Arrival, Junebug, American Hustle and Her.
No.1 at IMDB is Catch Me if you Can and tops at Rotten Tomatoes is Her.
“I was a huge Ann-Margret fan, and I wanted to be like her.”
“I have worked with some of the meanest people in the world. You can’t do anything to intimidate me.”
Amy Adams on filming The Muppet Movie – “To see them when they’re not animated was really upsetting.”
HI STEVE: I totally agree with you about the unreliability of published figures about stars’ earnings/net worth and about the secrecy surrounding a lot of information. Look for example at the struggle there has been in the US to get The Donald to publish his tax returns.
It is reported that in the last years of his life Brando feigned poverty to get whatever state benefits they have going for them in the US and to protect his wealth. Yet Wikipedia claims he left behind a fortune of $21 million with Celebrity Net Worth site suggesting it was even close to $100 million when that island that he had was taken into account.
Celeb Net Worth do emphasise that their calculation methods have no way of assessing total income as they don’t know about how much has been spent in the past by individual performers. For example Chico Marx was a compulsive gambler and squandered a lot of money; whereas Groucho was a tight-wad who lived in a dingy flat and ate sparsely and wore old clothes all the time; he was seduced by an attractive bimbo who moved in to look after him; and she ended up getting most of his fortune.
It’s safe to say that the likes of Al Leach/Sir Maurice/Joel McCrea and Randy Scott didn’t waste much of their money! Bing was always apparently “the guy who had forgotten to bring his wallet out with him” so that lesser earning stars had to pay for joint taxis etc. Bing reportedly left behind the equivalent of $52 million in today’s dollars.
I therefore take all the net worth stuff with a pinch of salt and certainly not as seriously as you and Bruce do the Oscars. However I find that even the broad net worth estimates are [ as Bruce would say] “fun” to compare.
JOEL McCrea lies sleeping on his saddle at night with the trail herd.
1st SCOUNDREL: Shall we take his money away from him while he’s asleep?
2nd SCOUNDREL: What makes you think he has money?”
1st SCOUNDREL: Guys like him ALWAYS have money!”
Hey Steve. Good quotes. As for poor Johnny Depp….we you buy an island, 14 houses, send a friend’s ashes to space, and purchase 50,000 a month in wine even $650 million can disappear.
Added Steve’s Amy Adams YouTube Video to this page. Our thoughts found on his page found below.
Amy Adams….love her. She was nice enough to provide an autograph for us. I have seen 26 of the 30 movies. She and Christian Bale have some awesome trivia. Every time they work together…..which is 3 times….they each get an Oscar nominations. So that is 3 movies, 6 Oscar nominations and 1 Oscar win (Bale for The Fighter). Favorites would include those three Bale movies, with The Fighter being my favorite. #4 Catch Me If You Can…small role…but memorable. #19 Trouble With The Curve…..one of the last Clint movies in which he starred. #27 The Ex….granted that one will not make many favorite lists. Good video. Voted up and shared.
Hi Bruce, it’s good of Amy to provide an autographed photo, lovely girl. I’ve got an autographed book from the late great Ray Harryhausen, beat that! 😉
Your tally of 26 out of 30 on the video easily beats my 15. My favorites include – Man of Steel, Justice League, Batman v Superman, Night at the Museum 2, Enchanted and Arrival.
Thanks again for the comment, vote and share, it is appreciated.
Hey Steve….that autograph made me a lifelong fan. Cool about having a Ray H. autograph….they do not make those anymore. Good stuff as always.
