She also manages to be effective in the film's few quiet scenes as well showing that there are some truly strong emotions that are driving the Bride in her vicious revenge)<br /><br />Uma Thurman/Vol. 2 - 5 (Builds upon her earlier more action orientated performance from the first one. She still carries herself as the right type of vengeance, but with a greater emotional impact this time. She also is particularly good in the flashback scenes in creating the less world weary Bride)<br /><br />Hasn't seen Borat<br /><br />Keaton:<br /><br />I - 2.5(She's okay for the most part and her final reaction is great but some of her line readings her just seem a bit off as she almost tries to over accentuate her character's background)<br /><br />II - 3(She's surprisingly not in it all that much mostly reduced to reactions here. Keaton seems far more assured as a performer at this point though and those awkward moments are gone from her performance. She also certainly does deliver in her final confrontation with Pacino even if she's a bit overshadowed by him)<br /><br />III - 3(Interestingly the one where she and Pacino probably have the best chemistry even if they are separated. She is good with Pacino as they convey the history between the two rather well)<br /><br />Sarandon's a 5 for Thelma & Louise.<br /><br />Cold Mountain - 3.5 (She's maybe a little overshadowed by those coming and going in the film, but she's effective does the transformation from pampered Southern Belle to a desperate woman enjoying what she has left. She's certainly no Vivien Leigh so to speak, but she does a decent job)Luke Highamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07075392435078135757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2457552600380761837.post-50259118557288138322015-05-08T07:44:34.705-04:002015-05-08T07:44:34.705-04:00I'd easily give Jones a 1.5 for Batman Forever...I'd easily give Jones a 1.5 for Batman Forever, he really was an overblown caricature.

What you don't think Jones and Carrey a...Matt:<br /><br />What you don't think Jones and Carrey are a shoe-in for the alternates?<br /><br />Klimer - 2.5(I actually think Kilmer was trying to go for something with his performance, trying to find what made Batman tick, unfortunately Joel Schumacher was not which makes it look like Kilmer is mopey around within all the insanity. It's only made worse that he still has to say some really goofy lines)<br /><br />Jones - 2(To be honest I don't quite know how to feel about this performance. Jones is clearly having a ball, but I don't think he pulls a Raul Julia (an act that is very difficult to pull mind you). Of course it does not help that Schumacher is a horrible director and the tone is all over the place to the point that almost any performance doesn't seem to work. Anyways Jones is over the top those are my thoughts)<br /><br />Carrey - 1.5(Carrey is also over the top, but I think Jones was little more onto something in terms of creating a character. Carrey just is doing trademark Jim Carrey antics with a Riddler suit on)<br /><br />Kidman - 1.5(She's pretty goofy while kinda trying to be serious which is a much worse offense than what Jones or Kilmer are doing)<br /><br />O'Donnell - 1(Well bland O'blanndell found a tone actually that being to be as bland as one possibly can be bland)Louis Morganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07933180959140340196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2457552600380761837.post-24305864887541653282015-05-07T21:00:33.545-04:002015-05-07T21:00:33.545-04:00GetDonaldSutherlandAnOscar:
In terms of never bei...GetDonaldSutherlandAnOscar:<br /><br />In terms of never being nominated I can't help but feel Arnold was taken for granted, like it was just assumed he was going to be good so there was no reason to reward him. <br /><br />Farmer - 4(Mainly her score is lower because I do think a few of line readings feel a bit melodramatic especially when standings next to Arnold. I do actually rather like her performances as both Lotta's as I feel she manages to create two character without doing anything vocally or physically to distinguish them. With the older Lotta she brings a more sultry and hard bitten quality to her performance. She has a vulnerability but with a certain toughness suggesting what's her character has been through. As the younger though Farmer brings a softness to her as she has obviously had an easier life, but also with it a more naive ambition about her making it so her stringing along of Barney does not seem quite as cruel as it might be)<br /><br />McCrea - 3(He's fine as his usual charming self but he does not get to do much past that here. He's mainly there to facilitate a few scenes for Arnold and really he's overshadowed by him)<br /><br />Nash - 3.5(Watching the film again she had no right to be as good as she is considering she just has the role of the cold wife. She does that well but watching the film again I was surprised how much nuance she bothered to bring to the part. She's especially good in the scene after Barney's been turned down, as she expresses a genuine relief that she has not lost her husband) <br /><br />Leeds - 3(She only has a couple of scenes but I quite like that easy going chemistry she strikes up with Arnold)<br /><br />(As for the film: that ending is definitely a knock out to be sure. I also like the rest of the film too particularly those early scenes. I do feel there is a bit of whiplash found from the two directors near the end, but I actually think Arnold is the one who manages to carry the power of the story home even when the direction becomes a bit dicey)<br /><br />Cagney - (I always liked him so I guess the same, although I do feel bad about underrating him for Angels With Dirty Faces in my original review)<br /><br />Tracy - (Way down as I had only seen a few of his later films, including Bad Day At Black Rock, and I assumed his reputation was well earned. That changed once I saw his first Oscar win I would say)<br /><br />Rains - (Up simply because I saw more of him. I always liked him in everything I saw him in before that point anyways though)<br /><br />March - (About the same) Louis Morganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07933180959140340196noreply@blogger.com
