My Request and most likely my last for the alternates is Cillian Murphy in Sunshine.
I am afraid I have not seen the tv series version of Fargo.
My winning request Louis, for the bonus reviews is
Roy Cheung - Prison On Fire
Louis: Murphy is Lead by the way for 2007.
And how many requests are there now for 2007 Lead.
RatedRStar: Shaw's supporting for Young Winston. He is only in the film for the first hour.

Burt Reynolds - Deliverance
Jon Voight - Deliverance
Klaus Kinski - Aguirre, the Wrath of God

Robert Redford - The Candidate
Robert Redford - Jeremiah Johnson
Max von Sydov - The New Land
Jon Voight - Deliverance
Michael York - Cabaret
Burt Reynolds - Delivarence
Klaus Kinski - Aguirre, the Wrath of God
RatedRStar: That's fine. Have you seen Sunshine at all with Cillian Murphy, If so what's your rating & thoughts for him.
@Luke: It has been quite a while since I saw Sunshine, but I remember liking Cillian a lot more than the rest of the cast, I thought the film was visually stunning but the story, gets itself a bit cornered as it seems to decide that the Sci Fi element was boring and decides to turn into a serial killer feature late in the film.
Oh yeah, I remembered I still have my request left over from last time. Um, my request is Joaquin Phoenix in The Yards for 2000 Supporting whenever we get to bonus rounds.

Divine, Pink Flamingos
Michael Sacks, Slaughterhouse-Five

Robert Duvall, Tomorrow
Suggestions:
Stacy Keach in Fat City
Klaus Kinski in Aguirre the Wrath of God
Robert Redford in The Candidate
Jon Voight and/or Burt Reynolds in Deliverance
By the way Louis, can you give your thoughts and rating of Jennifer Jason Leigh in The Hudsucker Proxy.
I feel like I should say I hope Peter O'Toole doesn't get a review for Man of La Mancha. I kind of hated him in that.
I'm pretty sure Peter O'Toole hated himself in that.
On the other hand, I've read that Tomorrow is Duvall's personal favourite of all the film's he's made. That really intrigues me.
I have no one else to add for 1972 lead.
I'll also hold off on my request, giving me, I believe, 2 for now, for the time being.
Thoughts and ratings on the supporting cast of attack
I think I'll hold off on the request for now.
Now that I think about it I'll request Jake Gyllenhaal in Souce Code for the bonus rounds.
But... why Gyllenhaal for THAT? He's fine, but he's done so much better than that one.
Any recommendations?
Not his best work but that was what really put him on the map for me. I considered him in Zodiac but he didn't make a big impression on me.
Well I sure know, what lineup I want for 2011 Lead.
Jakub Gierszal - Suicide Room
Jake Gyllenhaal - Source Code
Woody Harrelson - Rampart
Peter Mullan - Tyrannosaur
Ralph Fiennes - Coriolanus
Michael Smiley - Kill List
I'm going to try to request Mullan, Fiennes and Smiley, from the remaining alternate years. Harrelson is pretty much a lock.
@Luke: Have you seen Suicide Room? or checked it out in anyway =), since I of course did say it was close to my heart =D.
RatedRStar: I suggested Gierszal, since he was requested, as I do for every other upcoming lineup.
RatedRStar: I'll see it eventually, whenever Louis, gets around to reviewing him.
For 2011, I want Peyman Moaadi in A Separation, Daniel Henshall in Snowtown, and Chris New and Tom Cullen in Weekend.
@Koook160 =D Weekend hehe, I should say I did like Source Code quite a lot lol, I would happily put in my top 10 of 2011.
Michael Patison:
Technically Dean is a four in a move to the supporting category. Although I do find his performance uneven I do love the first half of his performance, and I don't hate the second half.
Marvin - 4(Just like in The Wild One Marvin kinda steals the film more than he probably should. His role is a small one of basically the immediate commanding officer that comes in and out of the story basically just to keep Eddie Albert's character in power. Marvin though is very effective in bringing the callousness and coldness in ever single one of his lines. What I like about his performance though is he always shows his character as a man making the hard decisions because he has to, not because he's simply a fool)
Sloane - 4(I think Sloane sometimes has a bit of a tendency to overact, but he reigns himself in here. Sloane is very effective in creating the cruelty through words, rather than anything else, as the corporate boss who essentially has no sympathy for failure. What I liked most about his performance though was he was not just a one dimensional villain. He did not hold back in terms of portraying his character brutality but Sloane mediates well to suggest that in the end his character just wants the best results, although does not mind who it hurts in the process)
Begley - 4(Begley in his scenes outside of the meetings creates a very honest portrayal of just a likable older man who's has had plenty of wear from the years, but still seems to look on the brighter side of things. In the meetings though Begley is rather heartbreaking in portraying the resignation of the man as he just takes every lashing from Sloane's character, and does well to show how it eats away at him even though he never does cry out. Begley very well might have been my win if it was not for the angry outburst scene where he tells what he thinks of Sloane's character for real. It's just a little over the top and out of place considering just how natural he feels in the rest of his scenes)
GetDonaldSutherlandAnOscar:
Donald - 4(Just a moving bit of truly supportive work from the guy who seemed to specialize in playing the sane man to the insane. Donald offers a needed bit of tenderness to the film showing the one man who honestly seems to care about Vincent throughout the film. His final scene with Douglas is particularly moving)
Hooper - 4(Hopper's role is relatively limited in that he's there to basically espouse his anger to the racist treatment given by both somewhat by his father and particularly by James Dean's character. Hopper though delivers in the intensity well but importantly, which is often not the case for such characters, Hopper makes it feel genuine by playing the part as that the anger is not all that he is it just happens to be what shines through best from his father's perspective)
Mason - 4(A pretty cheap excuse for a film as it is essentially an extended episode of I Love Lucy. The main difference is the presence of Mason as a guardian Angel who happens to look just like James Mason. He's kinda doing his Mr. Jordan routine here, which he does well he's just got that sort of angelic grace to him. In addition though he has just enough fun in playing the scenes where the angel talks about James Mason)
Brennan - 4(The fairly standard role of the Uncle who's not exactly cold at the start, but he and his nephew come closer together while taking care of the dog they find. Brennan brings the appropriate sweetness and warmth without ever becoming saccharine and creates a moving relationship with Brandon deWilde)
Poitier - 3.5(He's just the friendly neighbor here and that charm of his certain does the job nicely here)
Boyd - 4(Boyd is a rather effective duplicitous Nazi spy here. He does well to show the nature of the spy as he goes from inquisitive charmer to dark informer in a moments notice. He kinda steals the film for the duration of the performance giving quite a compelling and complex realization of the character. I especially like his final scenes as he expresses an actual fear when the spy decides to risk his life in success of the mission)
Steiger - 3.5(You get to see Charlie from On the Waterfront back when he was screwing up his brother's boxing career. Well really he's much closer to Johnny Friendly here, and I won't say he's as good as Lee J. Cobb. Steiger though does fairly well himself in his appropriately harsh depiction of the promoter who will do anything to make the most money. I think he could have gotten even more out of the role with the twisting sides of the character, but he still makes a good villain)
Genn - 3.5(It seems Genn could only play very quietly moral character since usually dislike him otherwise. Genn though here is effective in creating Starbuck as more or less the conscious of the ship and does well to show the way he slowly decides that Ahab has lost his mind. He keeps a meekness though that works in creating sense of why he never stops him though. I will so I thought he left just a bit to be desired when Starbuck joins in with Ahab's insanity at the end)
Basehart - 3.5(Almost a purely reactionary performance since he basically just watches the others do their part of the story then narrates about it. I think he manages to still make his needed impact, and keeps Ishmael about as he should be)
Welles - 3(I would not put this as a great Welles short performance but his presence, as usual, still adds something worthwhile to the proceedings)
von Ledebur - 2(I didn't buy him)
Quayle - 3.5(He does the refined intelligent lawyer rather well and although he stays refined he conveys a certain earnest devotion to Fonda's characters problem. Also like though that Quayle does show the inexperience of the character in the defense as he stumbles around a bit in his cross-examination)
Anonymous:
Crawford - 4.5(I actually really liked her here as I felt she did a particularly strong job of both carrying the film and creating that growing sense of paranoia in the character as her planned demise comes close to fruition)
Grahame - 4(Much better than her Oscar winning performance from the same year to be sure. She does an enjoyable sleazy job as the evil eyed girlfriend who eggs on Palance's character to carry out the murder)
Deiner:
Leigh - 3(Out of the people go for that heavily stylized Howard Hawksian manner I did think she was the best. It was somewhat questionable though since Tim Robbins and Paul Newman, as well as several of the other supporting players, had no interest in playing their parts in that way so all who did stick out in not the best way. I feel she keeps her head up a little better than the others but not by that much)
Anonymous:
Strauss - 3.5(Essentially a reprise of his Oscar nominated role but I actually preferred him here. He was more upstarted in his comedy yet still properly humorous while being fairly poignant in portraying the characters quiet understanding of what will happen if they surrender)
Jaeckel - 3(Mostly in the background but he does fine work in this regard throughout)
Albert - 2.5(There was a great performance I think possibly with his character but Albert does not realize it. He's not terribly as he gets off well enough as one of the most despicable characters I've seen in a film, but any major scene Albert's performance feels a bit underwhelming)
