Woe, Damien, you're the first serious movie watcher I've known to say they didn't like L.A. Confidential . I was completely blown away by it when I saw it in 1997. It's one of the greatest films of the 1990's, maybe of the last 25 years. It's so good, even Kim Basinger turned in a solid performance...

I included Virtuosity because it was one of the first films I saw him in and noticed him. Although the movie is not any great film, he was fun to watch in it, playing Sid 6.7. I liked him in The Quick and the Dead , but I thought his role was rather small in comparison to the others I listed. That ...

I don't see any real similarities between the character in Gladiator, Proof of Life and Master and Commander.

Here is a great actor, who consistently amazes with a wide-range of convincing performances. Whether as a conflicted skin-head in the controversial Romper Stomper , a computer-generated villain in Virtuosity , a brawny police detective who finds out he is more than that in L. A. Confidential or a s...

Updated List moved to front page.

As for me, I don't know. Irvin, I wonder if this is one of those cases where the middle-of-the-road, benefit-of-the-doubt sentiments doesn't work. I haven't seen Manderlay yet, but on the basis of Lars Von Trier's awful Dogville , I'm not expecting too much. Considering the talent involved in that ...

MR. AND MRS. SMITH Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie and Vince Vaughn I liked this movie a lot. It has plenty of action and plenty of laughs. While it might not end up on anybody's list of all-time favorites, it's definitely worth spending two hours watching the chemistry of Jolie and Pitt. This is what su...

I recommend The Raising of a President by David Wead. It's about the parents and ancesters of several American Presidents, including Washington, the Adamses, Lincoln, the Roosevelts, the Kennedys and the Bushes. Fascinating stuff.

I went on a spending spree and got movies today: 18 Best Picture Winners Amadeus, An American in Paris, Ben-Hur, Broadway Melody of 1929, Casablanca, Gigi, Grand Hotel, Great Ziegfeld, Life of Emile Zola. Mrs. Miniver, Mutiny on the Bounty (35), One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest, Gone with the Wind (f...

Cinderella Man Well here's another film that so many on this board will love to hate simply because it was directed by sqeaky-clean, nice-guy former child actor Ron Howard. I saw this film opening day with relatives and found it to be remarkably detailed, beautifully acted and directed. Yes, a lot ...

I am in no way implying that Mr. Cruise actually is a gay homosexual.

Umm, maybe I'm nitpicking here, but don't you sort of have to be gay to homosexual? Or are you referring to "happy" homosexuals?

Don't you guys think you're over-reacting here? I mean, maybe he isn't the brightest of Hollywood stars and maybe he doesn't always say the right things, but I think you are all being too dramatic. He's a credible actor. If he wasn't, he wouldn't have received three Oscar nominations and he would n...

if more people were turned off by Scott's attitude than won over by it, say 'bye-bye'.

my sentiments exactly. He was horribly obnoxious.

I voted again for cutie Anthony.

I never said you said, etc. I type things in a conversational style, and it doesn't always come out how I intended.

Hmm. This sounds very familiar. Who has said this before? Oh, yeah: me. To which I was roundly criticized.

Although I don't normally watch this show, I actually voted for the first time. My vote went to Anthony. Last week and this week I saw him perform and liked him. He's also cute. There's my two cents.
