Glad you found some value...Awww, thank you so much! Glad you found some value in my choices.<br /><br />Aha, Lewis' My Left Foot performance is the stuff of Hollywood legend.It was an incredible, dazzling, and masterful display. Every aspiring actor should consult that film, his performance specifically, before plotting their career paths. <br /><br />I, too, love actors hailing from Italy, France, and Great Britain. But with so many great, wonderful actors out there—whom I most assuredly neglected to name—I had to cull pretty aggressively. It was a difficult task, and inevitably, incomplete. I'm continually blown away by numerous performers. <br /><br />Amsterdam/Bruges/Belgium would be terrific settings. Can't argue here. <br /><br />And hey, my sister LOVES Twilight. I realize there's a huge audience for it. I'm just staunchly against it despite it's potent box office appeal, which infuriates me. Too many far superior films don't even scratch the surface of financial success that Twilight recklessly flaunts. But this is the world of movies. Ultimately, I'm cool with it.FilmMattichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15567287349203493671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6018122949256325759.post-77343502744128484672011-05-29T12:59:54.044-04:002011-05-29T12:59:54.044-04:00Loved the meme idea and the answers...fell in love...Loved the meme idea and the answers...fell in love with Daniel D-L the moment I watched My Left Foot...strangely I prefer British, French and Italian actors(m/f) when it comes to serious/character roles. No particular choices when it comes to women...was positive it was Venice though, could have been Amsterdam/Bruges, Belgium too.<br />The first Twilight wasn't that bad(since its was free DVD) but then I am the kind of person who can watch Juno first and Schindler's List immediately afterwards and manage to like both. :)Rek Seshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13484322426994645221noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6018122949256325759.post-49057448349457010472011-05-29T10:20:02.819-04:002011-05-29T10:20:02.819-04:00@ Melissa
Thanks! I prefer interesting over good....@ Melissa<br /><br />Thanks! I prefer interesting over good. I love Gary Oldman. He is such a talented, and in my opinion, under-appreciated actor. And he is just fantastically diverse. Sometimes, I can't even recognize him. But his voice is just so distinct and powerful. Beckinsale is beauty, brains, and bundles of talent. Love her. And yes, neither of them can claim pristine resumes, in terms of not being in clunkers. Bogart and Hepburn stand the test of time. They are Rushmore performers. Paris is sublime. And kudos for recognizing my setting choice. You're the only one to acknowledge it...and correctly. Well-done, my friend! Twilight pains my vernacular and my senses. It is criminally bad. <br /><br />@ Castor<br /><br />Haha! If you approach it from that angle, perhaps it could be unintentionally hilarious. Good argument. And Norton's appeal, we can agree, stems from his forceful, but quiet intensity, his raw intelligence and curiosity, and his almost-infinite range. Every movie he's in is a movie I'm in...even if it were the aforementioned unintentional comedy known as Twilight.FilmMattichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15567287349203493671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6018122949256325759.post-54001527176582902532011-05-29T10:13:05.687-04:002011-05-29T10:13:05.687-04:00@ Rachel
You're very welcome. I completely ag...@ Rachel<br /><br />You're very welcome. I completely agree with your take on Norton. He never quite gets the acclaim he deserves. For one to truly value his skill, one must trace his entire career arc. He burst onto the scene with his performance in Primal Fear (beating out thousands of up-and-coming actors in the audition process) and then continually solidified his high talent in movies like American History X, Fight Club, 25th Hour, The Incredible Hulk, and so many others. Just a delight to the movie-making world. We both win for our treatment of Twilight. Love your ratings system for that reason alone. <br /><br />@ Tara<br /><br />Ha, that's awesome. Heck, that's epic! I'm touched and can't wait til that day comes. Speak those words loudly and proudly. Good luck, my friend!FilmMattichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15567287349203493671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6018122949256325759.post-66827632077174828912011-05-29T10:06:47.381-04:002011-05-29T10:06:47.381-04:00@ Nebular
Thanks man! Daniel Day-Lewis' talen...@ Nebular<br /><br />Thanks man! Daniel Day-Lewis' talents are immense. He is probably the most committed and dedicated actor. The only shame for huge movie fans like us; he doesn't appear in enough movies. A very Malick-like characteristic: the acting equivalent. His performance in There Will Be Blood is the most interesting and absorbing of the last 10 years. Amazing. <br /><br />@ Misha<br /><br />Interesting is good so thank you! Glad to hear we have some common sensibilities. <br /><br />@ Dezmond<br /><br />Haha! I would expect nothing less. It's complete bottom-dwelling gar-BAGE.

He just brings such a dynamic force to his characters. Always interesting to watch. Day-Lewis is arguably the best actor working today, period. The African Queen is such a beautiful film and it really shines because of the infectious, genuine chemistry between Bogart and Hepburn; two absolute acting giants. All I can say: watch Cool Hand Luke immediately. It is brilliant. Paul Newman and George Kennedy are incredible.FilmMattichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15567287349203493671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6018122949256325759.post-13665411671183311712011-05-28T13:15:39.741-04:002011-05-28T13:15:39.741-04:00Twilight is actually a great comedy :) Wish we cou...Twilight is actually a great comedy :) Wish we could see more of Ed Norton these days...

Let's face it, both of them have been in some real stinkers... <br /><br />I love Bogart and Hepburn. I could watch them anytime. My favorite movie setting is Paris, though Venice is a close second. <br /><br />And LMAO, Twilight has to be one of the most craptacular movies ever created. Thank God I never had to pay to see that one.
