There hasn't been a badly reviewed requested performance that people expected to get a decent score yet.
I have a feeling Sam Lee will be the first, I really loved him and the fact that it was a complete 180 from his performance in Beast Cops but, I think Louis, you are going to destroy him.
1) John Goodman 2) Dylan Baker 3) Bill Murray 4) Elias Koteas 5) Sam Lee (I am sorry Sam I still love you =( )
I still get teary about 1998 in films as I felt it was the end of an era, The Siskel and Ebert era, never again will film criticism be so interesting and fun to watch.
Louis, I imagine you have already seen The Longest Summer due to that specific picture of Lee, so what are your thoughts and rating on the lead of the film, Tony Ho?
Louis: I'm glad you're reviewing Ribisi, since his last scene, for me was the only one anywhere near the Omaha Beach landing scene in terms of its power and emotion.
Imagine if RatedRStar was running this blog and not Louis, it wouldnt be who gives the best performance but whos the nicest person, actors like Jeff Bridges and James Stewart would win every time lol.
Louis, what are your thoughts/ratings on: Mercedes McCambridge in All the King's Men Lee Grant in Detective Story Mary Ure in Sons and Lovers Helen Hayes in Airport Lee Grant in Shampoo Also, I'd like to ask you, have your ratings on the female cast of Nashville (1975) changes? Because I think that Ronee Blakley easily deserved a 5 for her performance.
Scott Gingold: I myself wouldn't consider Tree of Life or Seven Psychopaths bad films per se, and I prefer Pitt, Rockwell and Walken for those films respectively, A Knight's Tale is a film that I personally like a lot and Bettany was the highlight for me as well, I thought McDowell was great, but the film was just incredibly off putting for me, that I just couldn't dare myself to watch it again.
Other examples include Alan Rickman in Robin Hood, Morgan Freeman in Street Smart, Eva Green in 300: Rise of an Empire etc.
@Scott Gingold: I think the perfect one you mentioned was Philip Seymour Hoffman in Synecdoche, New York, a very bad film with some of the most hilarious bad makeup ever and a truly drowsy story lol. I honestly cant think of too many others.
I would consider Seven Psychopaths a dissapointment purely because In Bruges is a masterpiece.
@JackiBoyz: I have faith that Louis will do the right thing, and yes Sam Lee is my secret BF, WHAT OF IT =) lol
Just for the record, I did like Tree of Life mostly for Pitt's Performance, which is his best to date and I thought Seven Psychopaths was really good, although not as good as In Bruges, which is probably the one comedy I've seen more than any other.
I have absolutely nothing bad to say about Seven Psychopaths, I think it's remarkably smart and funny and pulls off it's concept brilliantly, and the performances are stellar. I just don't think everything comes together as perfectly as it does in In Bruges, but In Bruges is probably my all-time favorite film so that's not a knock against the film at all.
@Scott: I will stick to films that received some acclaim as opposed to garbage like Freddy Got Fingered which everybody on planet earth hated.
I am Sam A Time to Kill Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close Murderer War Horse The Descendents A Hatful of Rain Awakenings Ray Hustle and Flow The Curious Case of Benjamin Button Before Night Falls The Yearling Mourning Becomes Electra
@RaterRStar: I too thought that I Am Sam was awful but... Mourning Becomes Electra was at least okay, thanks to Russell mostly. I disliked The Descendants and The Yearling but I still thought they weren't terrible, and I liked Woodley in the first and Wyman in the second.
The Descendants was a weird case of me initially loving the movie, until a friend pointed out MANY glaring flaws in it, and now I don't want to acknowledge its existence.
I'm less apprehensive to War Horse than most. Yes, the script and acting are highly questionable. However, I noticed that Spielberg used time-specific film techniques depending on where the story takes place in the moment (i.e. German Expressionism, French New Wave). It's really easy to miss, so I don't really blame anyone for not noticing.
Francis Ng in 2000 AD Peter Sellers in The Pink Panther Christian Bale in Reign of Fire, Captain Correlli's Mandolin, Equilibrium, The New World, Terminator Salvation, American Hustle, Out of the Furnace Mickey Rourke in The Expendables, The Pledge, Body Heat Paul Giamatti in Lady in the Water Peter Fonda in Thomas the Tank Engine Kevin Bacon in Hollow Man Donald Sutherland in Virus
I believe I've given my thoughts on McCambridge, and both of Grants.
Ure - 3.5(Her work here is basically one note of sensuous allure in the form of a passionate style. I think her one note is well done, but I don't think it makes her character all that interesting though)
Hayes - 2.5(She shows up for just a whole bunch of one-liners as the sly precocious old lady. I thought her whole thing was actually a bit hammy as she played up every second of screen time. Not to egregious levels mind you, but not in a way I really enjoyed)
The Nashville ladies are still the same although a re-watch could improve their scores.

GetDonaldSutherlandAnOscar:
Since he would have had a spot had it not been for the requested performance I'll do Ribsi as a bonus review.
RatedRStar: I haven't actually watched it yet.
Ah right, Louis can I ask you something?
Ask away.
Please Pleaseeeeee go easy on Sam Lee Ple ple pleaseeeeeeeee he is a lovely person and a good likable actorrrrr.
A lovely person haha xD.
That's more a statement than a question, but I don't think I'd worry too much about it.
Oh, um err Louis in which case can I gave you a statement?
Cheers Louis, you are a legend :D By the way Louis, what are your thoughts on Trevor Howard as an actor
Louis: I'm glad you're reviewing Ribisi, since his last scene, for me was the only one anywhere near the Omaha Beach landing scene in terms of its power and emotion.

Any thoughts Louis & everyone else on my post in the previous comments section about good performances in bad films?

The Tree of Life is one of my all-time favorite films, and I thought Seven Psychopaths was fucking brilliant.
Just for the record, I did like Tree of Life mostly for Pitt's Performance, which is his best to date and I thought Seven Psychopaths was really good, although not as good as In Bruges, which is probably the one comedy I've seen more than any other.
Unpopular opinion: I think Seven Psychopaths is even better than In Bruges.
KoooK160: Well, it's your opinion, I just wish Martin McDonagh would make another film soon, since he's one of my favourite directors at the moment.

Thanks everyone. Now I'm curious what does everyone consider to be bad films? Bottom 10 Worst Films. I'll do mine in a bit.
You mean a "Zero Stars" sort of movie? Here's some for me;
I Am Sam
A Time to Kill
The Lovely Bones
Elizabethtown
and so on.
1. Koteas
2. Goodman
3. Baker

@Scott: I will stick to films that received some acclaim as opposed to garbage like Freddy Got Fingered which everybody on planet earth hated.
I am Sam

Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close
Murderer
War Horse
The Descendents
A Hatful of Rain
Awakenings
Ray
Hustle and Flow
The Curious Case of Benjamin Button

I am sure there are many more.
@RaterRStar: I too thought that I Am Sam was awful but... Mourning Becomes Electra was at least okay, thanks to Russell mostly. I disliked The Descendants and The Yearling but I still thought they weren't terrible, and I liked Woodley in the first and Wyman in the second.

Good performances in bad films:
Francis Ng in 2000 AD

Mickey Rourke in The Expendables, The Pledge, Body Heat
Paul Giamatti in Lady in the Water
Peter Fonda in Thomas the Tank Engine
Kevin Bacon in Hollow Man
Donald Sutherland in Virus
Oh come on, American Hustle might have been flawed but it's not bad...
Geez, are me and Psifonian the only Malick fans here?
Damn when I said Virus I meant Outbreak...
I rather disliked American Hustle myself. It was pretty bad considering the potential it had at its disposal...

Luke: Nothing new at the moment.
I just believe that the performance is "special"
