Also, both of Daniel Day-Lewis's performances and Levi Stubb's voice work in the ironically titled Little Shop of Horrors.
Alternatively, if you don't plan on reviewing Stubbs, ratings and thoughts.
Can't wait to see a Little Shop review since I'm performing the show this weekend as Seymour :)
Thoughts/Ratings on:
Jeff Daniels in Something Wild
Charlie Sheen in Platoon
Julian Sands in A Room With A View
Dennis Hopper- Blue Velvet
Michael Caine- Mona Lisa
Daniel Day-Lewis- A Room with A View
Brian Cox- Manhunter
For 1986 Supporting:
Daniel Auteuil in Jean de Florette
Brian Cox in Manhunter
Daniel Day-Lewis in A Room with a View
Dennis Hopper in Blue Velvet
Ray Liotta in Something Wild
Steve Martin in Little Shop of Horrors
I recently saw part of Jack Nicholson's performance in the original Little Shop of Horrors and it looks like it'd be worth your time. I think you'd either find it entertaining or terrible.
I hope I didn't come off as being a jerk or pretentious when I commented about the Korean names earlier. I just wanted to make sure you knew in case you didn't and could be correct in the future. Do what you want, I'm not here to judge.
Dennis Hopper - Blue Velvet
Steve Martin - Little Shop Of Horrors
Tom Noonan - Manhunter
Vincent Price - The Great Mouse Detective
Brian Cox - Manhunter
On the Korean names, I can understand why Louis has the names in the standard way that the English language users would pronounce them, usually when I talk about the Hong Kong actors I usually look up how their names are pronounced in their own country, for example Andy Lau is pronounced Lau Tak Wah over there, and Tony Leung Chiu Wai is pronounced Leung Chiu Wai, but it sounds more awkward writing their names like that if ya get me lol.
Dennis Hopper - Blue Velvet
Ray Liotta - Something Wild
Daniel Day Lewis - A Room With A View
Steve Martin - Little Shops of Horror
Brian Cox - Manhunter
Michael Caine - Mona Lisa
Tom Noonan - Manhunter
RatedRStar: I completely understand. My only thing was that Korean stars don't have Anglicized names like Tony or Andy (at least none I known of. But still, if you were referring to Andy Lau or Tony Leung Chiu-Wai by their last names, it'd be Lau and Leung, not Tak-Wau and Chiu-Wai. That was my point. I wasn't trying to cause a fuss, but that's exactly what I seem to have done.
Obviously Dennis Hopper in Blue Velvet.
I suggest also Max Von Sydow for Hannah And Her Sisters
Also Louis, what are your ratings and thoughts on Rossellini in Blue Velvet, Kurt Russell in Big Trouble in Little China and Death Proof, as well as the cast of Escape from New York?
=D I assure you, that you havent caused a fuss lol, it was just an interesting discussion.
Also, thoughts and ratings on the cast of JFK please :)
Any of the Stand my me quartet,i don't consider Phoenix a lead.
How about the Aliens men Biehn,Paxton,Henriksen or Reiser.
Raul Julia in The Morning After
Dennis Hopper - Blue Velvet (Overall Winner)
Daniel Day Lewis - A Room with a View
Steve Martin - Little Shop of Horrors
Michael Caine - Mona Lisa
Tom Noonan or Brian Cox - Manhunter
Cox in Manhunter - fascinating contrast and better than Hopkins in my book
Louis: can I have your ratings on the casts of all 8 harry potter films.
I think we all know that the only winner of 1986 best supporting can ONLY be Bill Paxton in Aliens. We might as well not suggest anyone else.
I'm in the minority of thinking Levi Stubbs was the standout of Little Shop of Recut Endings.
The plant is always the standout, especially in that version where they really turned down the dark sides I all the characters, also since the 2 leads they cast weren't great singers. (Moranis was fine but just fine, Greene was just obnoxious)
@Michael McCarthy: how do you reckon you will do/ or how do u think u have done =D doing Little Shop.
Funny, I honestly think the original/Director's Cut ending was needlessly cruel.
Hopper and Stockwell, Blue Velvet
Day-Lewis's double feature
McGinley in Platoon
@Robert I completely disagree, I think that's what needed to happen. Seymour, as well-intentioned as he might have been, allowed people to be savagely killed for the sake of his own ambitions. The death of Audrey symbolized how he'd come to destroy everything he loved through the poor decisions he made, and his own demise by the plant was really what he deserved.
@Daniel The show's going to be really cool (even though it's super low-budget) because our cast is incredibly talented. All of Seymour's fit right into my vocal range so I'm not worried about that at all, and I'm really enjoying sinking my teeth into the character, especially his darker moments that are cut out of the film. It's being recorded, and put on youtube, so maybe some of you guys can judge for yourselves :)
=D I would happily watch it, maybe Louis himself could review it lol haha.
I'd be honored haha
Anonymous:
Jeff Daniels in Something Wild - 4(With every new film I watch I am finding that I really don't care for Jonathan Demme as a director outside of The Silence of the Lambs. Anyway though Daniels is a good a fit for the average man role and handles his role well although it is Ray Liotta's show)
Charlie Sheen in Platoon - 4(Sheen is actually very solid as the man between good and evil even though he was underwhelming in the same type a role a year later in Wall Street. He is a good mediator though and pretty effectively shows the weight of the war and the story through his performance)
Julian Sands in A Room With A View - 2(A fairly wooden performance, and really rather problematic as Day-Lewis's character comes off as far more interesting.)
Kevin:
Rossellini in Blue Velvet - 5(An amazing performance. Extremely alluring yet completely harrowing in her depiction of her character's intense desperation)
Kurt Russell in Big Trouble in
Little China - 3.5(An enjoyable performance fitting his extremely entertaining film. His odd John Wayne impression works for his character particularly well)
Death Proof - 4(The only part of the film I liked. He brought the right menace and also some much needed for to the film through his entertaining performance)
Escape from New York:
Russell - 4(Makes Snake appropriately iconic acting as a very solid action lead, and bringing the right cool to the part)
Lee Van Cleef - 4(Even the older Van Cleef still has substantial screen presence, and has just such a natural ease while being completely imposing)
Harry Dean Stanton - 4(Stanton as usual does far more than needed for the role. His role is fairly a throwaway role but he completely realizes his character and shows you exactly what he is going through)
Pleasance - 3.5(Fairly limited in that he just needs to be pained and scared for most of it. Luckily he gets one scene out of that mold where he gets revenge on the main baddie. It's a great moment because Pleasance makes the revenge particularly delicious)
Borgnine - 3(Offers a nice bit of strangeness and character to add to the proceedings)
Hayes - 3(Not as memorable as some of his co-stars but he still brings enough menace to his role)
Anonymous:
JFK:
Costner- 4(Does his everyman routine very well here giving the role the right passion throughout, even I do feel he overshadowed by many of the supporting players. His final speech is a knock out though.)
Sutherland - 4.5(Has only one scene but delivers that speech with complete perfection. No matter how insane it might be Sutherland makes it sound completely sane)
Lemmon - 4(Lemmon also delivers his speech incredibly well infused with the right sense of fear in his performance)
Bacon - 4(Plays his part rather interesting with a certain earnestness yet insanity and really just adds just another interesting odd character to the large tapestry)
Spacek - 2.5(Really one of the weakest characters unfortunately and there was nothing really to work with)
Candy - 3.5(Funny without being overtly comical)
Rooker - 3.5(The best of the Garrison crew. Although his character's fall is probably one of the weaker elements of the film he makes it believable)
Sanders - 3(Solid enough at delivery the exposition and playing off Costner in the right fashion)
Luke: Okay well here's part one in a continuing series.
Stone:
Radcliffe - 2.5
Harris - 3.5
Rickman - 3
Hurt - 3
Griffiths - 3
Hart - 2.5
Grint - 2.5
Smith - 3
mrripley: Phoenix could easily be supporting, like I've said before, I have not watched it in a very long time.
Louis: rating & thoughts on Alan Rickman in Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves.
Agree completely on Julian Sands, I was actually really rooting for Carter to stay with Day-Lewis's character even though that was clearly not the intention of the film.
Luke: Rickman - 4(Brings the only real life to the film with his very entertaining performance even if he is kind of in his own world within the film.
