Re: Greatest Voice Acting in Film
My personal favorites are Robby Benson in Beauty and the Beast. It's not just because you couldn't tell it was him, but because he added a level of vulnerability to the Beast. He helped make the character more sympathetic, and it aided the film enormously. Another would be Douglas Raine in 2001: A S...

Greatest Voice Acting in Film
I have to ask, has anyone heard a voice performance that stirred up emotions the same way regular performance does? Has anyone ever truly heard a voice in an animated film (or otherwise) that was truly special? I can think of a few, but I'll save them once I hear some of your opinions.

Re: J. Edgar reviews and fall-out
I won't lie, I despised this film with great intensity. DiCaprio gave one of his worst performances, possibly the worst of the year, as hoover. He chewed the scenery like a rabid dog. It was a pathetic "Look at me, I'm acting!" performance that deserves no recognition. Hammer, I will gran...
