And also, Hayden Christiansen with a good director behind him does not suck
this. Life as a House was fantastic and that's not least of all because of Hayden.
Nobody can tell Marmaduke what to do. That's my kind of dog.

Buffista Movies 6: lies and videotape
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 think I like Hayden better than Keanu but that's like saying I'd rather eat cardboard than plastic.

I thought Christiansen was great in Shattered Glass, too.

Christiansen gives me a pain in general, but he does have the virtue of never having butchered one of my favorite novels. I'm looking at you, Mr. Whoa-look-how-gnarly-my-British-accent-is.

Now tagless for your comfort.
I just watched Hard Candy and all I can say is, "whoa." In a non-Keanu kind of way.

YEAH!
That said, HC has managed to get good reviews for his acting for pretty much everything he's been in that wasn't Star Wars.
Which indicates to me that HC was not the problem.

I haven't seen him in anything else so it's hard for me to say, but Lucas did manage to make actors as good as Samuel Jackson and Ewan McGregor sound wooden so I expect he's the recurring ingredient.

All right, I'll reserve judgment on poor HC until I see some of his other work, because only George Lucas should be held responsible for that dialogue. A bicycle messenger couldn't deliver that shit.
