"It’s more difficult to be convincing as a real person when acting on film than on the stage. The camera can get closer and your image ends up projected many times larger than life size. So, despite giving a Tony Award-winning performance as Richard Nixon in the theater version of Frost/Nixon, Frank Langella was not initially thought of as worthy to reprise the role in Ron Howard’s movie adaptation of the play. Part of it was that he’s not a big name, but another reason was that he looks nothing like Tricky Dick. Ultimately, Langella did get the part, and while he doesn’t resemble the former president, he apparently does a bang up job in the role. But the transition could easily have been as awkward as Ralph Bellamy’s reprisal of his Tony-winning portrayal of Franklin Roosevelt in Sunrise at Campobello. In the film version of that play, Bellamy’s vocal impersonation comes off more like a Scottish brogue (he sounds exactly like Sean Connery, in fact) than FDR’s signature “Locust Valley "

"i have never had much to say about michael bay. as one of hollywood's most profitable hacks, he continues to to bore me with nonstop action and has the ability to keep me utterly confused. with his constant use of 2 second cuts and shaky camera that is all the rage. anyway, today being december 7th and the 66th anniversary of the attack on pearl harbor, i thought it might be a good idea to take a look at what i like to consider a very irresponsible and exploitive sequence from mr. bays film. lets just hope no one lets him direct 911. maybe he could do a pov of one of the planes hitting the building, or follow people down as the buildings collapse. i am not against historical films, or even recreating disasters, but there are respectable ways of doing it. i thought greengrass handled united 93 wonderfully, and even though i am not a huge fan of stone's world trade center, i felt he took care in his decisions.

"I recently joined the "worst-ever" group and wrote the following post to nominate three films to the list. 1. Demonlover 2. Domino 3. Pearl Harbor Here's the post: First off, just want to say hello to everyone in this group, and thanks for the invite. This is a great group to have. Thinking back over and weeding out the truly awful movies is very important, and a great brain teaser - try to remember the movies you've tried so hard to forgot. Also, regarding Munich, I haven't even seen it, but I would argue that anything by Spielberg (almost by definition) could NOT be worst-ever material. And, if we're going to consider anything by Spielberg, you have to consider A.I. first. That was REALLY bad, but still not worst ever in my opinion. I mean, there are A LOT of films out there. Worst ever, in my humble opinion, has to be insulting to the human condition, insulting to anyone with even a modicum of intelligence. Worst-ever has to be a film that forces me to wonder how the writer and/ ... "
