There is 4 winning requests for 2008 lead anyway so its not like there needs to be too many suggestions.
Louis: You left out Hawke and my request is Jim Broadbent in Topsy Turvy.
Louis: Thoughts on the rest of the performances you've seen and your last 4, 3.5, 3, 2.5, 2 and 1.5.
Your Updated Female Top Tens with ratings and other 4+ Honourable mentions.
I'm really surprised to see Coster-Waldau in 10th and so glad Jackman came 4th. :)
PSH - Synecdoche, New York
Mikkelsen - Flame & Citron
Yoon-Seok - The Chaser
Joaquin Phoenix - Two Lovers
Johannes Krisch - Revanche
Others for consideration:
Vincent Cassel - Mesrine
Kåre Hedebrant - Let The Right One In
Song Kang-Ho - The Good, The Bad, The Weird
Leung/Kaneshiro - Red Cliff
Harrelson - Transsiberian
Fassbender - Eden Lake
Anonymous: Nicholas Tse is Supporting.
Louis: In the meantime, along with The Death Of Stalin, could you re-watch Mean Streets for De Niro's possible upgrade.
I would save Death of Stalin for the Bonus rounds
Lezlie: 2 correct predictions means 2 requests.
Anonymous: I don't mind if he saves it, since we do need contenders for later on.
Uhm, how does this work, two sets of correct predictions means two requests, or one just the same?
In any case, would you be willing to review Taika Waititi in What We Do In the Shadows? I'd completely understand if not, and in that case, I'll pick something else, but I'm curious about your opinions on the film and the main cast.
Also, I see 2008 is already pretty packed. But if you still take requests for it, I'd ask for Song Kang-Ho for The Good, the Bad and the Weird. If I get to have two requests that is, if not, disregard this part :)
Louis: Your updated top ten Male Leading and Supporting performances of the 2010s decade.
Also, your updated top ten Ryan Gosling moments, and is it his career best.
Also, Jackman being 4th made my day :).
You know, it was a pretty strong year all things considered. The top 5 have two legends, two genre performances and one terrific off kilter choice. And even the bottom 5 is mostly 2's, and with actors that have been fine otherwise.
As for 2008, I don't know if the performances need to completely fresh from the list or not, but I'll give my two cents, assuming they haven't been given a score yet:
Josh Brolin (W) or Benecio Del Toro (Che)
Oh Yeah, I forgot Brolin in W.
Lezlie: you get two requests :) And happy to see someone request Song, that was who I was going to go for.
Stanton in the win makes my day, we pretty much have the same wins across the acting categories Louis. And I guess I really should see Shot Caller but it just looks so...meh from the trailers. Though I'd have the added benefit of never having seen Waldau in anything besides, um, Oblivion.
And I'm glad Hawke nearly cracked the top 10.
I request Brendan Fraser in The Quiet American for 2002 Supporting Actor. Also, you forgot to list Stanfield in Death Note on either rankings.
Louis: For the My Nominations page, you wrote 2016 instead of 2017 for Day-Lewis in Phantom Thread and Song Kang-Ho has 2 noms. (Memories Of Murder and A Taxi Driver)
Louis: James Franco is not on the label tags.
Louis: Your top 10 actors with the most commanding presence.
Louis, thoughts and ratings on Rajumar Rao in 'Trapped'. Very surprised you saw it (I would recommend Newton since he gives a much better performance in that film).
Your thoughts on the film itself would also be appreciated (:
The Death Of Stalin is pretty damn enjoyable and interesting lol, Id say the only performance I thought was weak, although intentionally so was Jeffrey Tambor and that might change on a repeated viewing.
I feel like there could be 10 for 2008
PSH - Synecdoche, New York
Mikkelsen - Flame & Citron
Yoon-Seok - The Chaser
Joaquin Phoenix - Two Lovers
Toni Servillo - Il Divo
Kåre Hedebrant - Let The Right One In
Song Kang-Ho - The Good, The Bad, The Weird
Leung/Kaneshiro - Red Cliff
Harrelson - Transsiberian
Fassbender - Eden Lake
And Servillo in Il Divo.
Charles: I think Louis will only do a 5 lineup and review any other performance/s that he would give a five to a la Brandauer.
louis: What do you think is the best scene from each of the lead and supporting actress nominees?
Louis: You really consider Adam Driver lead in The Last Jedi? That never even crossed my mind.
I'm most surprised by Cosmo Jarvis if I'm honest. I can kind of see why Driver would be co-lead, especially in the second half of the film.
Charles: Even if he did do 10, I wouldn't vote for Harrelson and Fassbender. They both seem likely to get 4s. I'd go with Krisch and Brolin.
Luke: Yeah i would say the same.
Louis: My request is Michael Shannon in Bug.
Louis: Michael Shannon in Bug is 2007 by your rules.
Charles: I'd vote for Cassel instead of Leung/Kaneshiro. RatedRStar has the latter in Supporting and I'm more interested in Mesrine, which some have called the French Scarface.
Louis: Your thoughts on Dave Bautista in Blade Runner 2049.
Louis: Your thoughts on The Death Of Stalin and the cast. I see that it's your #4 of 2017. If you're saving anyone, could you review them between now and the oscars instead of the bonus round.
I didn't love The Death of Stalin. It's funny and sobering in its depiction of the historical period but I never thought it cohered the two sides perfectly. Good film, but I definitely wouldn't rank it above Three Billboards and Tonya, the latter which I think coheres the two sides far better.
Luke:
4 - Driver (Logan Lucky)
3.5 - Garfield
3 - Edgerton (Bright)
2.5 - Diesel
2 - Segel
1.5 - Wahlberg
Bautista - (It's memorable work for even a few minutes and just is further proof that his work in Guardians is no fluke he's a genuine acting talent. His whole portrayal of his interactions with Gosling are incredible as he speaks to him he shows in his eyes the sense that he understands he is about to die yet is accepting of this. The one moment of solace though is in Bautista's brilliant moment of mentioning the miracle, where he portrays this glimmer of hope in this knowledge even in death. I hope Bautista keeps getting roles like this.)
Lynch - 4(This is an effective portrayal of a somewhat distant portrayal, though fitting I suppose, of this burgeoning sociopath. Lynch is effective in realizing this off-putting combination as he brings out this behavior that could just be of an extroverted teenager yet there is just something truly odd in the way he presented such a obsessed focus on basically the innards of things. Lynch doesn't overplay this showing that perhaps he could have gone either way in bringing some genuine emotion within the mental difficulty as shows this pent up intensity of someone who doesn't know who to reach out to or how to do it.)
Fares - 3.5(This is a fine performance even if the film I found extremely dull and uninspired. Fares though is more than decent in portraying the characters general malaise in the life of just going from bribe to bribe that slowly seems to gain purpose as the film goes on. The film oddly doesn't focus on this transition enough, which could have been powerful, however Fares is effective in the margins we do see.)
I'll give you the updated actresses once I re-watch Phantom Thread.
Lezlie:
You get two requests.
Calvin:
Shot Caller isn't very good, and I'll admit I didn't review Coster-Waldau because I didn't feel like watching the film again.
I found Jarvis is on the border becomes lead as the second half proceeds and we are given as much of his reactions towards her actions as the actions themselves.

John Smith:
Rao - 4(Well to cover both the film and his performance this is a decent though not great one man show. Rao does a fine job in the role that is largely silent and just mainly there to portray exact physical and mental exasperation of the situation. He successfully portrays every moment of time in his portrayal capturing the every moment of being stuck in the room, but also every moment of hopelessness or hope. It's a good performance. The film itself has some great moments, the raining, the actual escape scene, but largely is a bit too repetitive while not engaging enough in its various situations in the attempt to escape to make up for the lack of character development.)
Anonymous:
Lead:
McDormand - Speaking with Dixon about the evidence.
Robbie - Olympics breakdown
Streep - Making the decision
Ronan - Final argument with her mother.

Janney - Wanting to see her face.
Metcalf - Final argument with Lady Bird.
Spencer - Confrontation with Strickland.
Blige - I guess when she comes to help Mulligan.
Matt:
Well either he and Ridley are lead or no one is, as their story is given the most emphasis and strongest perspective to each. Although that comes in part because that was the one of the few parts of the film that I found at all compelling.
Luke:
Oh I loved The Death of Stalin, I mean give me something with some interesting historical basis you already have my attention, and put Michael Palin in a film again, I'm sold. I love the way it takes such an extreme satirical and plays it so brilliantly, I felt. I'd probably say this was the best written film of 2017, and should've that BAFTA. It reminded me of Dr. Strangelove and The Great Dictator as it managed to give a wholly comedic approach to some pitch black material, which would just be too cruel unless it was granted a certain level of absurdity. I think the masterstroke was in having the ensemble all act the way they do, which by playing it with a purposeful lack of authenticity though with a certain different type of conviction that realized all these personalities though in a very distinct way in this world of backstabbing. I found the film perfectly captured that unique tone to create the best type of political satire.
Saving Palin, Isaacs, Beale, and Buscemi for a review that will be written before the Oscars.
Considine - 4(A great one scene wonder for the film in portraying such hilarious unease and complete fear from his bizarre duty that he must quickly perform. I love his brief way of trying to fix everything with that all that terrific false bluster of his "do not disobey me". Considine is incredibly entertaining in such limited screentime to the point I probably could've watched a whole film of the man running a Soviet radio station.)
Friend - 4(I found him to be incredibly funny here in portraying just the sheer intensity of this "angry young man" but without any real purpose. He brings it up to eleven in the right way he projects a man who thinks he's going to made some grand statement and is just a proper lunatic instead. I must denote my particular affection for the awkwardness of everything he does in the scene of Stalin's autopsy.)
Kurylenko - 3.5(She brings the right sort of alternate voice in her scenes in portraying the right type of one note of just a sheer venomous hatred that she does not at all hide in every single interaction she has.)
Riseborough - 4.5(Well I'm glad she gave this performance since I have not been too impressed by her other previous performances. I loved this turn though as she gives the closest performance to a truly dramatic, yet even she cleverly subverts that in her approach to be wholly dramatic ends up comedic given her certain lines. She brings such a great constant intensity that matches her onscreen brother's though with a touch more sanity towards it. Her moments though cut through so well as she delivers her lines without false pretense as she asks reasonable questions which bounce off so well against the large arrays of liars who struggle with such questions.)
Tambor - 3.5(He's essentially just doing Oscar Bluth, with just a touch more ambition, but it is once again a funny display of such a wholly pathetic sort.)
Loved all the bit players as well who all fit into their brief little parts so well in creating this satirical version of the Soviet Union.
Didn't you love Riseborough in Birdman Louis?
Calvin:
I was referring to her rather abysmal work in Nocturnal Animals and her somewhat underwhelming performance in Battle of the Sexes.

Matt:
It's a pretty fascinating song and I'd say it is kind of fitting to central theme of Good Time of the bad actions with good intentions. In this song that is this unusual combination of more beautiful ballad style overtures, though with darkly interruptions, a la colder Johnny Cash songs. The sort non-structure of the song works in this way as well in that there's like this idea of a wonderful song within a purposefully broken structure that shouldn't work, but it does in this strange song.
I love seeing Gosling twice in that top 10. One of the greatest working today.
I'm looking forward to The Death of Stalin reviews, since Palin and Buscemi are masters of comedy.
Louis: Your 11-20 male leading and supporting performances of the decade.
To be honest, I'm surprised Viggo Mortensen didn't make the top 10.

Mute's Reviews are terrible.
And my #1 Lead of the decade is still Mikkelsen in The Hunt.
Louis: since my last request last year i've 8 predictions, are my reqeusts still valid?
Calvin: I did, and it's in my top 10, and Vega is terrific, an easy 5 for me.
Omar: Yes.
Louis: your thoughts on 'Non Nobis and Te Deum' scene from Branagh's Henry V.

Louis: Your cast and director for a 2010s Leaving Las Vegas? I'd like to see Jake Gyllenhaal would do with the character of Ben.
James Jordan just for the lols.
But yeah, Gyllenhaal would be perfect. Colin Farrell could be great too.
Louis: Rating and thoughts on Ann Dvorak in G Men and Jean Arthur in Public Enemy Number One.
I got to watch The Death of Stalin last night, and I definitely enjoyed the hell out of most of it. I'm not yet totally sure how I feel about the last few scenes, where it gets very dramatic very fast, but at the very least I can say I found it quite impactful. I'm looking forward to the review.
My personal top 10 of the decade in S. Actor:
1. Sylvester Stallone, Creed
2. Mark Strong, Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy
3. Christopher Walken, Seven Psychopaths
4. Nicolas Hoult, Mad Max Fury Road
5. Barkhad Abdi, Captain Phillips
6. Sam Rockwell, Three Billboards
7. Mahershala Ali, Moonlight
8. Yosuke Kubozaka, Silence
9. Will Poulter, Detroit
10. Sam Neill, Hunt for the Wilderpeople
Omar:
Yes
Calvin:
It is one of the best scenes in his version in capturing the sheer wear of the battle, as he reveals the cost not only just in the grim and dirt he brings from the sequence, but also that exhaustion in his own performance. The sort of purely cinematic moment of the song is absolutely beautifully realized in showing the victory of the British but with the clear sense of the wounds of the war. It stands particularly interesting in contrast to the other versions as Branagh more closely focuses upon these darker sides of the battle than the Hollow Crown version or Olivier's version(fittingly since it was in part a rallying cry for WWII film).
Techno:
See my response to Luke on that matter.
Bryan:
Leaving Las Vegas directed by Lenny Abrahamson:
Ben: Jake Gyllenhaal
Sera: Kirsten Dunst
Yuri: Vincent Cassel
Anonymous:
Dvorak - 3.5(She manages to give a fairly dynamic performance here which fairly rare for the time in such a small role. She manages though to actually convey more to the situation than portraying the one note wife victim, or one note jilted lover either. She captures a greater complexity in performance that provides much more of a balance in the role creating a far more interesting character than would have provided by most performers at the time.)
Arthur - 3.5(Her performance rises above her rather terrible co-star to actually give a pretty decent portrayal of the conflict in her character. In what is actually a bit out of her comfort zone she actually does do rather in creating a chemistry of sorts on her own to suggest the romance, while bringing the right palatable bitterness later on.)
Louis: Now that you've rewatched most of the "important" films from 2017, could I get your updated 11-20 favorites? I figure IT may have been knocked down a couple pegs at least.
Michael:
11. American Made...no wait it's my best picture winner now.
Alright all kidding aside:

Your lowest 5 & 4.5?
Where is Joaquin Phoenix (You Were Never Really Here)? Will you consider his performance in the year 2017 or 2018?
