I know that I didn't give it a fair shot. It might be a little while before I see it; I have a bit of a backlog at this point. Still, I'm looking forward to checking it out.Danhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12351431577484530230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6917634143872972680.post-51765786790533950342012-07-28T13:54:31.662-05:002012-07-28T13:54:31.662-05:00Aha, so that's what your Lawrence of Arabia co...Aha, so that's what your Lawrence of Arabia confession was! :D I hope you do see it all the way through soon so we can compare notes when I finally get to it as well.<br /><br />I'm with you on LaBeouf and Kidman. It's unfortunate how the latter's career has deteriorated over the years. I will give her credit for a strong performance in Rabbit Hole, but that's a rare positive in the last several years.<br /><br />Fun post, Dan.Erichttp://twscritic.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6917634143872972680.post-61285249688055861192012-07-27T11:02:07.975-05:002012-07-27T11:02:07.975-05:00Sorry if my post was confusing.

I'll check out your post when I get the chance.Danhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12351431577484530230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6917634143872972680.post-76126091606813031202012-07-27T10:42:40.907-05:002012-07-27T10:42:40.907-05:00I can't believe you haven't seen Star Wars...I can't believe you haven't seen Star Wars! I can't even imagine my life without Star Wars! Here's my list, though - I'm sure you'll find some of my film transgressions blasphemous too.

The one I remember the most is Sound on Sight. I don't get it at all. I'll start laughing just thinking about some of the scenes and throwaway lines.<br /><br />I haven't seen Rabbit Hole, and I did hear some good things. I was thinking more of the last 5-10 years, where I feel like she's getting by more on her name than great performances. I haven't seen them all; some didn't even look that interesting.Danhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12351431577484530230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6917634143872972680.post-89966390450213665182012-07-26T13:53:34.063-05:002012-07-26T13:53:34.063-05:00I think The Maltese Falcon is overrated, too. I st...I think The Maltese Falcon is overrated, too. I still like it, but not nearly as much as most cinephile-type people do, and not nearly as much as a lot of other Bogart noir films.<br /><br />And Kicking and Screaming is awesome! Who's saying it's not? I'll kick and scream at them. :)<br /><br /><br />I think Nicole Kidman has turned in a handful of really great performances spread throughout her career, but she's annoyingly inconsistent both in quality of films she chooses to do and quality of her performances. But To Die For (1995), The Others (2001), The Hours (2002), and Dogville (2003) are all unimpeachable, I think. Heh, maybe that's what you mean by "early in her career." I haven't seen it yet, but based on what I've heard, Rabbit Hole might be a more recent addition to that list. Have you seen it?Jandyhttp://www.the-frame.comnoreply@blogger.com
