envirojeff Posted June 6, 2005 Share Posted June 6, 2005 I haven't seen it yet and what's holding me back is RZ. I CAN'T STAND HER! I think that she is a horrible actress and she's tough to look at let alone be convinced that someone is falling in love with her. Ron Howard is becoming a Spielberg. Almost every project that he takes on is golden. I want to see it, but I need to mull over some "Real" reviews not Hollywood spin. Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beerball Posted June 6, 2005 Share Posted June 6, 2005 I agree. I can't stand Crowe either. I think he's a pompous !@#$! 351819[/snapback] He's apparently in trouble for throwing a phone at a hotel employee over the weekend. If the report I heard is correct it connected with the guys noggin. Temper temper Russell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ofiba Posted June 6, 2005 Share Posted June 6, 2005 I saw it. Great movie. I'd definately recommend it. They were both terrific in it, and I don't usually like RZ either. She was very good in this though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arkady Renko Posted June 6, 2005 Share Posted June 6, 2005 I think Crowe is probably an ass in real life but there are very few actors out there that throw themselves in the role like he does. Denzel Washington, for example, is a good actor, but he pretty much is Denzel in each movie. RZ is usually annoying but I liked her performance in Cold Mountain.

I think that I'll give this one a shot. Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Fischer Posted June 6, 2005 Share Posted June 6, 2005 Crowe may be a complete jerk but he backs it up on screen. Likely one of the best actors of our generation. The Insider - he is the movie. Awesome, real-life character. Makes you dislike and admirer the character at the same time. LA Confidential - One of the best tough guy, 1940s, film noir characters. He was the best of a great cast. Beautiful Mind - hard to think of anyone else (besides Hanks) who could make that movie go. You believed every stage of the character's life. Gladitor - enough said. "My name is Maximus Decimus Meridius, Commander of the Armies of the North, General of the Felix Legions, loyal servant to the true emperor, Marcus Aurelius. Father to a murdered son, husband to a murdered wife. And I will have my vengeance, in this life or the next." (yes, I had to look it up ) Master and Commander. Completely underrated performance in a very underrated movie. Commanding presence, to say the least. Cinderella Man - didn't see it. Others: Movie with Denzel -- a cyber-bad guy. One of the real good "bad guys" in movies. I think he could do a very creepy serial killer or the like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They could have put Rosie Odonell in that movie and I still would have watched it...happily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Real Posted June 6, 2005 Share Posted June 6, 2005 Crowe is really good in the movie. I went to see it last night and it was one of the best movies I have seen in a really long time. Through out the whole movie you get a really good feel for how tough the great depression was. Could you imagine in the dead of winter the power company turning your heat off? Crowe may be a prick, but he acts his ass off in this movie. I walked away from the theatre feeling really good. It's an instant classic to me. t-r Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smoker2Buffalo Posted June 6, 2005 Share Posted June 6, 2005 Ron Howard is becoming a Spielberg. 351777[/snapback] Whoa, whoa, whoa, let's not go too far! I will go see this movie eventually. But it's not a top priority for me like Star Wars was or War of the Worlds is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grant Posted June 6, 2005 Share Posted June 6, 2005 The movie ought to have been titled "Please Give Me an Oscar. Pretty Please." Ron Howard has always been one of the safest directors in the history of filmmaking, and this is yet another example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
