Louis you know the bonus reviews, are they going to go like this, five performances from two years worth or something?

WHAT FRESH HELL IS THIS?
At ease, Michael. Ape not kill ape.
DE NIRO IS AT LEAST TWO SPOTS TOO LOW.
Louis...not...ape
Maybe it's just me, but in all seriousness I can't see how someone could see De Niro's performance in this and not just give him the win.
At least he gave him a 5. Just be grateful on that.
If he was second I could probably force myself to accept it because I love Paul Newman but I cannot abide having him in third.
I don't apologize for the number of comments. I promised wrath.
Ok now that that's out of my system...
Kevin Kline-Sophie's Choice (I'm legitimately concerned he might not be as great as I remember, if so I apologize.)

Damn, I forgot Keaton in Night Shift.
Rampling - 4.5
Spacek - 4
Smith - 4
Hannah - 4.5
Cassidy - 4
Schwarzenegger - 2(I can like a Schwarzenegger performance but I thought he was not particularly good here. He certainly is a fit for the role physically but the character's transitions felt like nothing and the romantic scenes were rather atrocious. Conan never is much of a character and even his whole revenge plot is kinda last second although at least Schwarzenegger is half way decent in those scenes)
Jones - 3.5(Jones has such a great presence and he knows how to simply make a stare intimidating. I actually think he was really quite underused in the film as it seemed he had more potential. Jones makes all of his scenes a highlight through his performance, and is particularly good in the moment where Doom shows Conan what real power looks like)
Stallone - Rocky III - 2.5(Stallone has a random wavelength with the way he portrays the character, and here he portrays Rocky as particularly thick, although not as thick as in two or five. There is some weird acting on his part in this one although I do think he is good in his final scene with Meredith)
Meredith - 3.5(Despite some of the silliness of this one, namely the fight against Hulk Hogan, Meredith still gives it his all and does his best to show that this is the same exact Mickey from the original film. He's again just good in portraying the rough wisdom in the character particularly in the scene where he warns Rocky about Clubber Lang. He actually succeeds in making Mickey's death rather moving)
Mr T - 3(May the cartoons begin after the realism attempted with Apollo Creed. It's slightly hard to judge in that he's way over the top in the role, but then again it's Mr. T what do you expect, but I can't say he's ineffective in the role. I certainly get enjoyment out of his performance especially when he makes the prediction for his re-match with Rocky with one word "Pain")
Bridges - 3.5(A straight forward role to be sure but one that Bridges handles rather well. He's charming appropriately passionate even making the death of a computer program moving)
Warner - 3.5(Equally straightforward but again quite effective. Warner just is the cold intense villain, and he does it rather well)
Stallone - 4(His best performance although I can joke about the fact that he talks the least in it. Stallone though delivers in creating the vicious intensity needed for Rambo that only grows as he suffers and is pushed further into a corner. He actually is fairly effective in showing the slow decay back to his roots in Vietnam. His least effective scene is probably the break down actually, but I don't think he falters in that scene I just felt he better expressed Rambo's pain internally)
I hesitated to even include Thomas since it's been over twenty years since I watch E.T. I'll try to give it a re-watch while I do supporting.
RatedRStar:
That will essentially be the format.
Micheal McCarthy:
You just watch it......I'll raise Kingsley score so fast and put De Niro to four it'll make your head spin!!!!!
After all I'm saving the human race.....EXPLOSION.
Is anyone else watching Better Call Saul? Because I'm loving it so far. It has absolutely no reason to be this good.
Matt:
Also watching it. What a pleasant surprise.
Right? I love that they're actually taking it seriously and not just relying on brand recognition.
