She's excellent in the way she so unassuming in basically the way she plays the part yet she never feels vague or overshadowed. She realizes her character shyer qualities while never letting it define her. She has excellent chemistry with Cohen, and the two are just wonderful in their interactions with one another. Honestly she just feels so real in the part that's just so effortlessly charming work. The more dramatic moments in her performance though also are keenly felt yet always come across in such a natural fashion, that feel just as a facet of her character. It's brilliant understated work.)<br /><br />Matt:<br /><br />Crenna - 3.5(He's good as acting as basically the sanity for the entirety of the film giving the right severity to his words, and controlled passion as he tries to talk sense into the Sheriff and Rambo. He's particularly good in his final scene with Stallone)<br /><br />Dennehy - 3.5(It's a good performance as Dennehy portrays the small town bully with the right amount of sleaze though without overpowering as he still portrays the desperate man who is trying to prove something he does not even know in his attempt to take down Rambo. Now he is good, but the character I think perhaps had even more potential that was not tapped into though that may have been more due to the direction and script rather than Dennehy)<br /><br />Schwarzenegger - (It is extremely solid Schwarznegger as you sort of get the best of his both his worlds. In the first half you get his gleeful delivery of the over the top one liners while wielding big weapons. Then in the later scenes though he's good in building up the threat of the Predator, by actually conveying rather the certain dread that grows in his character. Now I don't know if it is a gradual transition between these two sides, but they both work)<br /><br />Anonymous:<br /><br />He'd be a good choice. <br /><br />Anonymous:<br /><br />Wake Island - (It's a just fine war film in terms of the action but it doesn't go beyond that too much. It's characters are all fairly thin, though it always remains watchable enough)<br /><br />Boomerang! - (Maybe a puts a bit too much of the DOCU in docudrama, but it still works as such. It does not have too great of an emotional heft to it because of that, but it works in that it is telling an interesting enough of a story.)<br /><br />Brigadoon - (The music's pretty good, the sets, the dancing, there's nothing to complain about, and the story certainly works well enough, plus Van Johnson brings some much needed earthiness to the whole thing)<br /><br />Marnie - (As a true examination of one's mental problems I don't think it completely works. It is effective enough in terms of the style that is made around the presentation of this though to make the film work)<br /><br />Sahara - (A very good war film as it does give each character there little moment as well as just tells a tight story involving these group of men, as well as creating the right sense of atmosphere through the desert)Louis Morganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07933180959140340196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2457552600380761837.post-61104905972218960592015-12-19T19:55:28.550-05:002015-12-19T19:55:28.550-05:00Louis you gave your ratings but what are your thou...Louis you gave your ratings but what are your thoughts on <br /><br />Wake Island<br />Boomerang!<br />Brigadoon<br />Marnie<br />SaharaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2457552600380761837.post-78143175338143201082015-12-19T19:18:23.292-05:002015-12-19T19:18:23.292-05:00Michael: I think it's you but I think I found ...Michael: I think it's you but I think I found you!<br /><br />Luke:Haven't seen Larson yet (will do so asap) but my top 5 is fairly similar:<br /><br />1.

Same deal in regards to Serkis, but I also just found his performance, as well as the design of the character, just excessively uninspired, especially compared to the rest of the film.
