I just avoid the romcoms and the Star Wars movies (I hate those) because she was brilliant in Leon and also I really enjoyed V for Vendetta.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I cut Natalie Portman a whole lot of slack because she has a Erdős–Bacon number.

Natalie Portman's voice grates on me.

Hey. New board.
I like every movie I've ever seen Portman in except the Star Wars films. I haven't seen V for Vendetta or a lot of the ones that look pretty crap (No Strings Attached, The Other Boleyn Girl, Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium) so perhaps I'm just choosing good movies for her. I've never seen a movie that made me think "I didn't know she could do THAT!" the way Rachel's Getting Married did for Anne Hathaway, (I didn't see Black Swan ), but I find her generally quite enjoyable to watch. And look at.

Heh. Am waiting for clip to load but I suspect it's going to make me wish I had The Losers to watch. I do have Transporter 3... ita, have you seen that?

Zoe Saldana kills people and has sex with Michael Vartan.
Live the dream, baby, live the dream.
No fair picking my dream to live, though!

I hear you on IO9, ita. I don't read the site regulary myself, but it sure seems that most of the reviews I've seen linked have been of the masterpiece/failure dichotomy. But those are the ones that people are more likely to post.
