Moving and surprisingly strong work.
it's hard for me to be impressed by someone playing himself.
DougReese wrote:Jared Leto – REQUIEM FOR A DREAM
There's something about his eyes that completely fits into his character.
no
DougReese wrote:Gabe Nevins – PARANOID PARK
Another case of those young performers who bring refreshing realism to a film.
god no, and i loved this movie.
DougReese wrote:Jean-Claude Van Damme – JCVD
Shocked the hell outta me. Didn't realize he had it in him.
YES!
DougReese wrote:Neve Campbell – WHEN WILL I BE LOVED
Steamy and seductive. Somehow remains memorable through such an awful film.
haven't seen this but it is Neve Campbell so NO!
DougReese wrote:Embeth Davidtz – JUNEBUG
Generous. Lovely. Passionate. Wonderful.
no
DougReese wrote:Christina Ricci – BLACK SNAKE MOAN
Fearless work, nailing that accent and remaining consistent to the character in all circumstances.
a little over the top but a good performance
DougReese wrote:Best Actor in a Supporting Role
Jason Bateman – JUNO
Never tries to make his character likable, which is apart of his performance's charm.
lol, he plays this same character in every movie.
DougReese wrote:Brad Dourif – HALLOWEEN II
Uses his acting chops to such heights as to actually (*gasp*) depress us when a slasher film character is killed off.
goddamn no
DougReese wrote:Paul Rudd – KNOCKED UP
Adds complexity and subtly to an otherwise underwritten role.
yeah, he's pretty good at improv
DougReese wrote:Jennifer Connelly – LITTLE CHILDREN
Want to see how fantastic Connelly emotes with the eyes? Watch the scene at the dinner when her and hubby Wilson invite Winslet and company over.
meh, kate was better
DougReese wrote:Amber Heard – THE INFORMERS **
Heard’s fearlessness to go almost entirely nude for most of her scenes is a testament to how dedicated and comfortable she is in this woman’s skin, and the compelling way she slowly becomes much more prominent in the lives of those around her is difficult to digest.
getting naked isnt impressive. i dunno how you can fuck up a bret easton ellis book so bad either.
DougReese wrote:Eva Mendes – WE OWN THE NIGHT
Mendes is unexpectedly moving in “We Own the Night”; hardly saying anything throughout the film and yet proving to us that she genuinely loves this man, but can no longer risk her happiness, love, sexuality, and life in the balance of him and his violent world.
arguably the worst one on the list, she was awful in this.
DougReese wrote:Chloe Sevigny – THE BROWN BUNNY
There is so much dread and pain in Sevigny’s character and it’s so apparent due to her complete blend into this confused woman.
it's all about gallo, giving a bj on screen isn't worth it.
DougReese wrote:Kristen Stewart – INTO THE WILD
Never blown over-the-top, and rightfully so, Stewart’s performance is quiet; slowly approaching moments of pure authenticity. It’s just one of the many reasons why many shouldn’t hold “Twilight” against her.
Such a forgettable performance I didn't even remember she was in the movie and I've seen it twice.
