Steph, have you seen him in "Croupier"? I didn't really take much notice of him until I saw that flick. Afterward, I was pretty much a goner. Well, that and liberal doses of Owen as the brilliant and tormented Detective Inspector Ross Tanner in "Second Sight" series.

Buffista Movies 3: Panned and Scanned
A place to talk about movies--Old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.
I second both of Vonnie's recs.
I haven't seen either of those.
I keep confusing Clive Owen and the other guy who has a similar name -- Colin someone. Not ita's friend Colin -- *he's* memorable. Another Colin.
Colin Firth?
Well, they are both dark and broody and British. Firth has more of a polish, and Owen's more of a diamond-in-the-rough.
Then there is Colin Firth circa Pride and Prejudice. Too bad I can't locate the wet shirt picture.
That's a smokin' photo of Clive Owen. Humina humina.
Also, some of Clive Owen's BMW short films are still available online.
Also Closer.
Heh -- I was just at a party last night where we were all saying the same thing, Sin City is going to be fucking amazing visually, even if it sucks, which it might.
I have the book around here somewhere. I should read it.
Colin Firth?
Well, they are both dark and broody and British. Firth has more of a polish, and Owen's more of a diamond-in-the-rough.
I have no idea why I confuse the two. Mostly b/c they have faces that are, to me, completely forgettable. I can't explain it.
Colin Farrell is also not attractive to me, but not forgettable, either, because he has eyebrows that are secretly plotting to overthrow Peter Gallagher's eyebrows and then they will DOMINATE THE UNIVERSE.
