It's a good moment though in that it actually alludes to a harder edge to Vito in that moment, and the genuine surprise of the moment only adds to it in his way of snapping Johnny into shape.

As for Dafoe, one of my favourite things about him as an actor is his ability to mesh deadpan cynicism with just the right amount of pathos. This looks like an ideal role for him.Mitchell Murrayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06054562644509043086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2457552600380761837.post-40520382162924861432017-08-14T19:16:25.593-04:002017-08-14T19:16:25.593-04:00RIP Joseph Bologna,RIP Joseph Bologna,Charles Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01702365476332792775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2457552600380761837.post-87924593902643009412017-08-14T18:58:17.662-04:002017-08-14T18:58:17.662-04:00Omar:

Of course past that there were those who genuinely did not care for her performance, calling it overwrought. Well the real woman she was playing was overwrought I felt she reflected that sort of brashness without becoming a full-on cartoon either, by dialing it down in the right moments particularly in her scene with Christian Bale in the car. Now most of the time she is there to be sort of outrageous, which was perhaps a warning of where O Russell was going to go later on, but again here it was fitting to the character. I don't quite love the performance, but it's one that works in context with the character and the film.)<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />RIP Joseph Bologna,Louis Morganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07933180959140340196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2457552600380761837.post-52374719293635265132017-08-14T18:44:54.519-04:002017-08-14T18:44:54.519-04:00R.I.P.

The film so far has received a positive response, but in sort of that respectful but not overly passionate fashion. I'm not sure such a response will be strong enough to carry it to real consideration, though perhaps the support could rally behind Leo to at least make her a contender. <br /><br />Luke:<br /><br />To quote James Rebhorn from Independence Day "That's not entirely accurate".

It is so horrible goofy looking in every regard, and particularly ill-fitting to an adaptation that takes itself so seriously. <br /><br />Tahmeed:<br /><br />Mother Simpson - (A pretty great episode aided by Glenn Close's is rather affecting vocal performance. The whole emotional side with Homer though is so effectively realized through such hilarity throughout particularly through Mr. Burn's efforts, aided by the Dragnet crew, as well as the opening involving Homer faking his own death. I have a particular love for the lonely hammock gag, and Chief Wiggum's wallet APB. A fantastic episode.)<br /><br />Homer's Triple Bypass - (One of the very best episodes of the series. As it shows how good they somehow where by creating a real emotional investment, something so lacking in later seasons, while not for a moment becoming melodramatic or overly serious. Homer's tentative goodbye to his kids is incredibly moving yet somehow never seems tonally off when proceeded by Dr. Nick being frustrated by the surgery tape being recorded over by People that Look like things. And yes this episode is consistently hilarious as well with such a rapid fire of successful jokes throughout, my favorites perhaps being Patty and Selma's instant replacement for Homer, and the world's most easily fooled insurance salesman.)<br /><br />Homer's Odyssey - (Ah yes Season 1, such a strange thing. See with later seasons I see where the jokes are attempted they just are not funny in season 1 episodes though there don't appear to be attempted jokes for the most part with the show oddly playing mostly as a drama for whatever reason, along with some often fairly shoddy animation at times. I'd say this episode goes really too far in that regard, with Homer's suicide attempt at all, and does have any jokes really to cushion it. I don't think it is necessarily entirely bad in of itself, but so strange with what the series soon became.)<br /><br />Omar:<br /><br />I thought that looked rather great as I always find sort of the child's perspective in potentially unsavory stories rather interesting and that appears to be the case here. Furthermore from the trailer it has rather rich visual style, and Dafoe looks very promising. <br /><br />Calvin:<br /><br />Original Screenplay, though I'd say it probably will be fighting with Get Out and who knows what else, for that only in screenplay shot. Maybe Hunter though it would have to be a weak year in terms of more Academy friendly roles.<br /><br />Anonymous:<br /><br />Look for my individual thoughts on some of the pieces of the score, that more or less covers my overall thoughts on it.
