She's at least at Joseph Cotten's level which means avoiding some embarrassment.)<br /><br />Peck - 2(Unlike Peck who just is way over the top in his portrayal. There's no nuance in his performance playing the role just far too excessively evil, but not even in a primal way that might have worked. He just comes off as mustache twirling which just feels extremely wrong)Louis Morganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07933180959140340196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2457552600380761837.post-71468729706481855822015-08-15T22:08:01.164-04:002015-08-15T22:08:01.164-04:00ruthiehenshallfan99: Well, welcome aboard.ruthiehenshallfan99: Well, welcome aboard.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2457552600380761837.post-62528245861545501372015-08-15T21:56:54.781-04:002015-08-15T21:56:54.781-04:00Hello everyone.

I am also a fan of films, but have not seen as many films as you guys probably have (I am only 19). I honestly never be able to rate performances and go into detail the way all of you can, but I find this very interesting! ruthiehenshallfan99https://www.blogger.com/profile/17883466887090605114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2457552600380761837.post-1104364616285890542015-08-15T21:27:52.664-04:002015-08-15T21:27:52.664-04:00Louis: What are your ratings and thoughts on Gish ...Louis: What are your ratings and thoughts on Gish and Peck in Duel in the Sun?

Plus I've always loved his demented reaction at seeing Chief's escape at the end)<br /><br />Henriksen - 3.5(Really I could go higher with him as this really is quite brilliant work from him. Where Sonny and Sal talk about like killing is nothing to them Henriksen is great because he shows someone where that's actually the case. There's something so eloquently menacing about the soullessness in his smile when he tells Sal to keep his gun up, since in his eyes he's already marked Sal for death)<br /><br />Luke:<br /><br />1973:<br /><br />Actress:<br /><br />Sissy Spacek - Badlands<br />Ellen Burstyn - The Exorcist<br />Linda Blair - The Exorcist - 3.5<br /><br />(Need to see quite a bit once again)<br /><br />Supporting Actress:<br /><br />Mercedes McCambridge - The Exorcist<br />Eileen Brennan - The Sting<br />Yvonne Elliman - Jesus Christ Superstar - 3.5<br />Katy Jurado - Pat Garrett and Billy The Kid - 3.5<br />Laurie Heineman - Save the Tiger - 3.5<br /><br />1974:<br /><br />Actress:<br /><br />Faye Dunaway - Chinatown<br />Gena Rowlands - A Woman Under the Influence<br /><br />(Again that's all I got)<br /><br />Supporting Actress:<br /><br />Valerie Perrine - Lenny<br />Cloris Leachman - Young Frankenstein - 4.5<br />Madeline Kahn - Young Frakenstein - 4<br />Jennifer Jones - The Towering Inferno<br />Madeline Kahn - Blazing Saddles<br /><br />Anonymous:<br /><br />In regards to Olivier as Corleone I have a feeling he would have been great, though his performance might have ended being considered less iconic, I personally probably would have preferred it.

I barely knew much about NWA outside of some stuff from their first album and who were in it.<br /><br />@Luke: First of all Hawkins looks and sounds like Dre to a T. Second, the film demands the most from him emotionally and internally, and he does not disappoint at all. He never choses to shy away from the negative or more vulnerable qualities of Dre, creating the most interesting portrait in a film full of them. If Hollywood isn't giving him tons of offers, then fuck show biz.Robert MacFarlanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17264501767985746886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2457552600380761837.post-50806671927719707942015-08-15T18:36:18.915-04:002015-08-15T18:36:18.915-04:00I have no interest in Straight Outta Compton becau...I have no interest in Straight Outta Compton because I'm really not at all into Hip-Hop.
