I thin it could be interesting to see what it results in since he seems like someone with probably an appreciation for the original series. Tarantino tends to excel with adapting his style with different genre aesthetic based on Kill Bill, Basterds and his westerns so I'd be quite interested to see him do Sci-Fi. <br /><br />Anonymous:<br /><br />Three Billboards 1950's directed by Alexander Mackendrick:<br /><br />Mildred Hayes: Irene Dunne<br />Sheriff Willoughby: Melvyn Douglas<br />Officer Dixon: Tony Curtis<br />Charlie Hayes: Wallace Ford<br />James: Angelo Rossitto<br />Robbie Hayes: Dean Stockwell<br />Red Welby: Vic MorrowLouis Morganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07933180959140340196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2457552600380761837.post-47769237571745219282017-12-07T18:27:39.700-05:002017-12-07T18:27:39.700-05:00Louis: Your cast and director for a 1950's Thr...Louis: Your cast and director for a 1950's Three Bilboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2457552600380761837.post-7516705232588903302017-12-07T18:24:27.712-05:002017-12-07T18:24:27.712-05:00RatedRStar: I still have the app. Haven't touc...RatedRStar: I still have the app. Haven't touched it for a long time. ruthiehenshallfan99https://www.blogger.com/profile/17883466887090605114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2457552600380761837.post-64716945208598929152017-12-07T18:19:29.810-05:002017-12-07T18:19:29.810-05:00Glad you loved it too Luke!

In addition he never seems to decide whether the character is earnest or not making him just go back and forth depending on the scene. This could work, but he doesn't make this any sort of natural inconsistency either.) <br /><br />Matt:<br /><br />Not sure but to reiterate Madsen acts like he's reading off cue cards with the energy of a stand-in who doesn't care in the slightest.<br /><br />Anonymous:<br /><br />More than anything the scene is an example of the sheer brilliance of Scorsese as a director. Creating one of the most intense boxing fights ever depicted on a fictional film evoking a film like the Set-Up brilliantly yet taking it a bit further. The closeups of Sugar Ray and Lamotta before the final pummeling is brilliant creating such an intensity with almost still images. In addition though De Niro is great in the scene and it is such an effective realization of Lamotta's sorry state. That being the one thing he can take pride in is he's still walking despite all his beat downs and all his failings. <br /><br />Bryan L.:<br /><br />Both are amazing mostly low key scenes that really illustrate the film so well. In that one sense we get such an authentic feeling with the actually enjoyable camaraderie between the men as they break each other balls, and Tommy goes off on Spider. You're allowed to have fun with the guys, and really you almost can stay having fun with just a bit of unease the first time Tommy accidentally shoots him. That shooting less of an overt psychopath, and more of your pal who should never have a gun. The second time though it's great in bluntly hitting you with the truth of the men in that for a moment you think you are just having fun with the cathartic hit of Spider telling Tommy off, then you are hit back with the blunt reality of the world with Tommy's overreaction and frankly the other men's underwhelming reaction. <br /><br />Calvin:<br /><br />Well it's from the director of Shark Tale so I feel this is a disaster waiting to happen particularly with this casting. It screams of a executive going "Hey whoooos popular? Weees need someone for this pokemens picture, pokemens go's losing popularity I hear, at least that's what my kid tells me on the days I see him, what's everybody like. I got it that Deadpool guy right people love him right now. Get him!"<br /><br />Anonymous:<br /><br />1. Olivia de Havilland - The Heiress<br />2. Terence Stamp - The Collector<br />3.

This is an outstanding performance that suggests he hasn't lost anything given it could stand right up there with his very best work from the best. It helps that Pacino reigns himself in to give a wholly captivating turn here. What is so remarkable though this is even a mannered performance yet Pacino doesn't overdo them rather making them wholly natural in the way he realizes the idiosyncratic man Kevorkian was. They only ever amplify his work which is only part of this great performance. Pacino is terrific in the way he is able to show him equal parts insufferable, and charming. In the way Pacino realizes so well the way of the man who can get his point across yet also can get lost within his passions as well. That passion that Pacino powerfully realizes in every moment but especially the scene where he speaks about his mother. That scene is one of Pacino's all time best. As much as Pacino gives understanding though he also does find the right way in portraying the way that passion perhaps takes him too far in certain direction by so effectively creating the right sense of a level of blindness created by his fervent belief in his passions. Pacino is rather mesmerizing in one way or another in any given scene and I love that he properly makes Kevorkian as a polarizing complex figure through his performance more so than I feel the film itself does.)<br /><br />Goodman - 3.5(For much of the film this is Goodman doing particularly basic Goodman supporting friend turn, to almost an extreme extent. He does this well though to be sure bringing the right chemistry with Pacino as well as some needed natural humor to the role. He also is quite good in his one major scene where his character refuses to stick by his friend, and Goodman is great in so calmly delivering moment reinforcing the friendship while setting passionately the personal limit.)<br /><br />Vaccarro - 3.5(I liked her chemistry with Pacino that suggested the right history between the two siblings. Her role though is somewhat limited past this mostly to be supportive yet randomly angry at her brother for his single minded perspective at times. She makes this sort of ball of energy though quite natural to the character.)<br /><br />Sarandon - 3.5(I will say seeing more and more of her later work she does have kind of a setting she goes to, and while this isn't bad it just never feels like she's trying anything new with her performances. It is always a touch static. This is the case here however it works for the part, and she's pretty great in her emotional final scene.)Louis Morganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07933180959140340196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2457552600380761837.post-78718993276458101062017-12-07T13:17:17.629-05:002017-12-07T13:17:17.629-05:00I can't believe Detective Pikachu is a thing.I can't believe Detective Pikachu is a thing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2457552600380761837.post-83797641811505182502017-12-07T13:09:16.852-05:002017-12-07T13:09:16.852-05:00Also, along with Thomas Jane in 1922, Psifonian...Also, along with Thomas Jane in 1922, Psifonian's recommendation of Bruce Greenwood in Gerald's Game could make the lineup as well.<br /><br />I hope the nominees are:<br />Oldman<br />Day-Lewis<br />Stanton<br />Franco<br />ChalametLuke Highamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07075392435078135757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2457552600380761837.post-65429637436806603172017-12-07T13:01:21.858-05:002017-12-07T13:01:21.858-05:00I feel he won't make an extended lineup.

Gyllenhaal though really does make Jeff a likable guy by playing to the charisma he should in his early movies, and by adding a convincing dramatic heft to his more intense scenes. He's quite good here and if he gets nominated I won't be immediately against it)<br /><br />Maslany - 4 (I have less to say about her performance because she's a little side lined, but I thought Maslany was fine too. I bought her chemistry with Gyllenhaal and her depiction of Erin's grief and frustration)<br /><br />Richardson - 3 (Accent isn't the best but I really have nothing against her otherwise)Mitchell Murrayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06054562644509043086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2457552600380761837.post-66958479709978236702017-12-07T11:36:34.647-05:002017-12-07T11:36:34.647-05:00So looks like Ryan Reynolds is playing Pikachu.
