![]() ![]() #CRAZY STUPID LOVE SCREENIT MOVIE#And even if they were, I doubt that the enthusiastic and honest performances in a movie like "The Hangover" would get them held in the same esteem as the by-the-numbers, tear-baiting tripe of "The Blind Side", "The Help", or "The Fighter". There are tons of bad horror/sci-fi/fantasy movies and comedies every year, but the stand-out performances often contained within those films are never nominated. Of course, both of these hypotheses would suggest a very profound and unfair bias within the film and award industries that is perpetuated to this very day. I think the nail in the coffin might have been "The Blind Side", a not-terrible but otherwise completely irrelevant film that was only nominated for Best Picture because Sandra Bullock was nominated for Best Actress. It's almost as if award ceremonies, at least high-profile American ones, feel as if they are obligated to nominate movies just because they like the performances in them. Personally, I think "The Fighter" is another example of a film that was nominated for Best Picture, not because it was actually creatively up-to-snuff, but only because of the work of its ensemble cast. Last week's Golden Globes was a perfect example of an evening where sub-par films such as "The Help" only seemed to get nominated for Best Picture because they were also nominated for several performances. I'd like to propose a reverse hypothesis, that bad and mediocre movies with good performances often get more attention than they actually should. However, Mark, I'd also like to comment on your hypothesis that favored movies are more likely to be judged for their good performances than bad films. And, once again, without fail, it is always the point which I find it impossible to disagree on. However, whenever I get into discussions with other people who like the movie, they always, without fail, confront me with the exaggerated excellence of Willem Dafoe's performance as the gay detective. It completely boggles my mind how any human being could legitimately enjoy the ludicrous, racist, misogynistic, heterosexist, cynical, gosh, poorly written, and morally repugnant debut from Troy Duffy. Without a doubt Willem Dafoe in "The Boondock Saints". Keep up the good work, as always Doctor K! However, I am always drawn to the eccentric humour that Galifianakis brings to the table and find his character to be very challenging, but in a comedically entertaining manner. Zach Galifianakis in The Hangover - I too am in the critical minority who thought that the first Hangover film was overrated and so the sequel being the first film cranked up to eleven was no surprise. He has a genuine intensity and magnetic screen presence, and is the standout performer of the three central leads. Taylor Lautner in The Twilight Saga - Though a mixed bag of films, one of the most consistent (and strongest) points of the film franchise is Lautner's role as Jacob. A socially-deficient bastard-child of Paul Blart, Ronnie Barnhardt is a fully-rounded character thanks to Rogen, and the strength of his part elevates Observe And Report above incidental balderdash. Seth Rogen in Observe And Report - A toe-curling mess of a film that could have been a great black comedy, and this can be observed in Rogen's performance. ![]() It’s safe to say, that this isn’t exactly the holiday, that Jeongguk has imagined for him and his boyfriend at first.Looking back at the reviews on my blog ( - cheap plug, I know), I am drawn to highlight three specific performances over the past five years If only, he isn’t forced to stay with the famous Idol Kim Taehyung, who gets on his nerves since he first met him. But plans never turn out like you want them to be and one mistake leads to another and so, Jeongguk has no other choice, than to extend his visit in Seoul for a little bit. His summer holiday should’ve been completely different.
