Niska ,'War Stories'
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.
Reese was incredible in what'sitcalled. Freeway? And she was good in Election. Since then, she's been essentially coasting in lame roles that don't seem to challenge. It's a shame, because she's not lacking in chops.
Yep, it's Freeway. And, yep, she was great. The movie is a hoot. An outrageously sleazy hoot, but a hoot nonetheless. Keifer Sutherland is really good in it too.
I also agree that Election is her other significant role, and she's done nothing to equal these two since.
After Election, she decided she didn't want to be an indie character actress, she wanted to be a Big Star. Hence the blandness that was both Legally Blonde movies.
Goth Eye for the Preppie Gal/Guy
I need to be a contestant or victim or patient or whatever on this show.
I really liked the first Legally Blonde, but the second one looked terrible, so I stayed away. I also liked her in Cruel Intentions and The Importance of Being Earnest. Sweet Home Alabama, on the other hand is bad. So very very bad.
Okay, wow. That's really incredibly perfect casting, assuming he has any sort of pitch at all. Want now.
Neil Patrick Harris? Oh, he totally has pitch. Not a big voice or a showy voice, but a nice light tenor. He's the Balladeer on the Assassins revival OCR.
He does a great job on the recording of Sondheim's Evening Primrose, too.
Oh, really? He plays...oh, crap, what's the main guy's name...Charles? I have a recording of it, and I recently realized Charles is played by Gary Beach, much more well known as the "Keep it Gay" guy from The Producers.

Oh, right! Yeah. That's truly perfect casting.

I've never heard the original, but the recent re-recording is pretty good. They released it with music from The Frogs (before they did it on broadway) a few years ago.
