The scenes with Vera Miles though are just too goofy for their own good)<br /><br />Miles - 2(Miles has a bad role as she just is the love interest that's trying way too hard to be funny)<br /><br />Wood - 2.5(Thankless role since she's written to have forgotten her new family completely rather randomly. Wood does the best she can though I think)<br /><br />Brandon - 3(One of the problems with the Indian villains is that they never bothered to really flesh them out as characters. There is the slightest bit with Scar actually, but not enough. Brandon though does much better in this sort of problematic role than a lot of actors do)<br /><br />Worden - 1(Ehhhhh)<br /><br />Luke:<br /><br />Kinda off the top of my head. <br /><br />Actress:<br /><br />1.

Deborah Kerr - The King and I - 3.5<br /><br />Supporting Actress:<br /><br />1. Anne Baxter - The Ten Commandments - 4.5<br />2. Marie Windsor - The Killing<br />3. Mariko Okada - Samurai III - 3.5<br />4. Kaoru Yachigusa - Samurai III - 3.5<br />5.

I think that Room at the Top does not talk about Joe and Alice's love story, but really more on Joe's inability to choose between ambition (Susan) and love (Alice). Alice is the heart of the movie indeed but I don't think hers is the character that we follow, even if I can see why she's leading for many. Anyway, what matters is that we all think that she was amazing :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2457552600380761837.post-41942353869202155892015-03-01T16:47:50.167-05:002015-03-01T16:47:50.167-05:00RatedRStar: Interesting, VERY INTERESTING.RatedRStar: Interesting, VERY INTERESTING.Luke Highamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07075392435078135757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2457552600380761837.post-80876738403662214982015-03-01T16:41:46.854-05:002015-03-01T16:41:46.854-05:00@Luke: I will give brief thoughts to stop it being...@Luke: I will give brief thoughts to stop it being so long.<br /><br />Mckellen (extremely charismatic and the words just roll off the tongue so easily)<br /><br />Freeman (Great in being the intelligent every man, his final scenes are amazingly powerful)<br /><br />Spacey (A truly disturbing depiction of a smug and intelligent killer who has a lot of fun doing what he does)<br /><br />Cheung (Great at overplaying the womanising cheat, but even better when it all comes back to haunt him)<br /><br />Liotta (Great at being the young kid joining the mob but grows slowly into becoming a mobster who loves his profession)<br /><br />Gibson (The most manic and grounded Hamlet, Gibson proves himself capable and in particular his hatred of Alan Bates Claudius is both funny and hate filled)<br /><br />Bale (Naive but strong, a classic gut wrenching performance which we have seen before, but it is still excellently done)<br /><br />Affleck (An everyman performance, very reactionary, but my god those are some reactions, his best being when he finds the dead boys body in the molesters home)<br /><br />Dalton (Hilariously evil lol, nuff said =D he is just so funny)<br /><br />Finney (Rather moving as a warm but confused father trying to do the right thing)<br /><br />and as for Lau Ching Wan<br /><br />Watch this trailer, all I have to say is, INSANE.<br /><br />https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0AL1fZqfvgARatedRStarnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2457552600380761837.post-54419610786716395762015-03-01T16:23:58.657-05:002015-03-01T16:23:58.657-05:00@GM: I was friend zoned unfortunately lol and I ha...@GM: I was friend zoned unfortunately lol and I have an interest in Bacon, due to that SAG nomination, I have no idea if he is co lead or supporting though.RatedRStarnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2457552600380761837.post-60022836896129255542015-03-01T16:23:32.888-05:002015-03-01T16:23:32.888-05:00RatedRStar: Can I have your thoughts on the 5s, I&...RatedRStar: Can I have your thoughts on the 5s, I'll ask for some of the others down the line.Luke Highamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07075392435078135757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2457552600380761837.post-52640719541084428692015-03-01T16:20:23.842-05:002015-03-01T16:20:23.842-05:00@Luke: Since there are so many I shall just do the...@Luke: Since there are so many I shall just do the ones I suggested since a lot are the same.<br /><br />Hawke (4.5)<br />Pryce (4.5)<br />McKellen (5)<br />Freeman (5)<br />Gibson in Braveheart (4)<br />Spacey (5)<br />McGoohan (4.5)<br />Bean (4)<br />Pesci (4)<br />Hackman (4.5)<br />Cheung (5)<br />Liotta (5)<br />Robbins (4.5)<br />Gibson in Hamlet (5)<br />Rooker (5)<br />Assante (4)<br />De Niro (4.5)<br />Oldman (4.5)<br />Finney in Millers Crossing (4.5)<br />Julia (4)<br />Ching Wan (5)<br />Bale (5)<br />Affleck (5)<br />Pitt (4.5)<br />Phoenix (4.5)<br />Lee Jones (4.5)<br />Dalton (5)<br />Finney in Devil (5)<br />Foster (4.5)<br />Travolta (3.5)<br />RatedRStarnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2457552600380761837.post-87840865218028356692015-03-01T16:13:53.764-05:002015-03-01T16:13:53.764-05:00Hum, Kevin Bacon isn't good in Murder in the F...Hum, Kevin Bacon isn't good in Murder in the First ('95)?
