I do feel she's lead because of the way she becomes as much of a part of case as Gittes does, and the climax is actually much more controlled by her character than it is by Gittes's.

I liked his performance in that he was appropriately one note as his character always seemed particularly ready for violence, but Ahmed was effective in showing the same type of desperation as Abdi's just as almost part of his character's intensity)<br /><br />I have seen parts of the Quick and the Dead, but I've never bothered to watch from beginning to end. <br /><br />Anonymous:<br /><br />Mercouri - 4.5(It's not an extremely complex role but Mercouri does an excellent job of being just an extremely alluring figure in the film, and is such a beautifully energetic presence throughout the film) <br /><br />Roberts - 4.5(A very interesting performance if slightly hindered by the fact that her character is secondary to Harris's. She creates a very believable chemistry with Harris and I like how the two managed to convey an underlying love there while still very much covering up do to their differing lives and personalities)<br /><br />Magnani - 4.5(The film she is actually fairly weak in that it really fails in terms of the writing behind Quinn's, and the fact that it has a certain actor who is terrible in just about everything he is in. All these things do weight against Mangnani slightly. Even with that she still manages to give a compelling portrayal of her character's slow change throughout the film particularly in the way she eases into her naturalization so to speak. Along with that she is able to convey the uncontrollable passion of her character well without ever making it seemed forced or obvious)<br /><br />Alright top 20 in Alphabetical Order:<br /><br />Alec Guinness<br />Brendan Gleeson<br />Clark Gable<br />Claude Rains<br />Clint Eastwood<br />Daniel Day-Lewis<br />Gary Oldman<br />Gene Hackman<br />James Mason<br />James Stewart<br />John Hurt<br />Kirk Douglas<br />Laurence Olivier<br />Michael Caine<br />Raul Julia<br />Richard Attenborough<br />Robert Duvall<br />Robert Shaw<br />Toshiro Mifune<br />Viggo Mortensen<br /><br />JackiBoyz:<br /><br />I'm not sure since I only note the performances requested. <br /><br />Anonymous:<br /><br />Shearer - 4.5(It's a very interesting performance because she seems miscast in the role, but while watching the film I was surprised how much she won me over as the film progressed. She's really is quite outstanding in the third act of the film and gives a very powerful portrayal of the pure emotional desperation Marie Antoinette by the very end of the film)<br /><br />Love - 4.5(She easily stole the film from Harrelson and I would not have minded if the film had been about her character. She gave a very interesting portrayal of her character's desperation as she is quite uncompromising in the mental and physical decay of her character as the story progresses. What I find that makes her performance stand out is there is always this very bright spark of life that she brings even when her character is at the lowest point)Louis Morganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07933180959140340196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2457552600380761837.post-22092794355162679692014-08-18T13:07:39.762-04:002014-08-18T13:07:39.762-04:00Louis, what do you think of Norma Shearer in Marie...Louis, what do you think of Norma Shearer in Marie Antoinette and Courtney Love in The People vs. Larry Flynt and how would you rate them?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2457552600380761837.post-76478217858237054682014-08-18T12:38:55.963-04:002014-08-18T12:38:55.963-04:00It's likely that Blake might win here, I wonde...It's likely that Blake might win here, I wonder who has the most wins out of all of us, Louis do you know?, I think its between Psifonian since he seems to get them right fairly often whenever he predicts and Daniel seems to be the person always saying "one of my winning requests" as well as bringing many unknown actors like Nicholas Tse to the blog.JackiBoyznoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2457552600380761837.post-14955792156347724942014-08-18T12:31:06.428-04:002014-08-18T12:31:06.428-04:00RatedRStar: What's your predicted rating for Z...RatedRStar: What's your predicted rating for Zane.<br /><br />If Louis goes with Wiseaus, then I think he'll probably go with a 2 or 3.Luke Highamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07075392435078135757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2457552600380761837.post-62599744394976444842014-08-18T12:26:47.365-04:002014-08-18T12:26:47.365-04:00oh no everyone, theres only one person left for Lo...oh no everyone, theres only one person left for Louis to review =D. drum roll.....RatedRStarnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2457552600380761837.post-75483284911683569632014-08-18T12:17:37.462-04:002014-08-18T12:17:37.462-04:00I think the best scene in the whole movie is his i...I think the best scene in the whole movie is his introduction, and Bill Pullman giving a good performance is a rare feat but he actually does lol David Lynch is so underrated, performances in Lynch films are usually great.RatedRStarnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2457552600380761837.post-5028701835153015652014-08-18T12:17:24.917-04:002014-08-18T12:17:24.917-04:00Nightmarish beyond belief.
