I also liked him in Cinderella Man, which I may be the only person to have seen.

Mystery Alaska

"I'm sorry, your honour. I'm fat." I love that movie!

I remember the commentary for L.A. Confidential during the first appearance of Bud, and someone was saying that they had seen Rusty in Romper Stomper and was taken with his intensity, and wanted that first glimpse to be just this intense face, and people asking "who the hell IS this guy?".

I also have quite a soft spot for Rough Magic as a whole, though not the most well-written character.

I'll watch him in just about anything. Loved watching him in 3:10 (the whole movie was fabulous) and just seeing all this unsaid story going on in between the lines and looks.

I like Crowe in The Sum of Us, Mystery Alaska, Master and Commander and LA Confidential.

I think I saw Proof too, but I'm fuzzy, was that the one with the blind photograher

oh and 3:10 to Yuma.

Matt,

I don't know what it is, but I feel like going to see The Backup Plan this weekend.

Peace be with you.

Yeah, I gotta say as far as seeing any Jo-Lo movie that isn't OUT OF SIGHT (where she was AWESOME) or THE CELL (which was at least conceptually insane with good supporting actors), she's a must avoid.

Selena was good, too. I mean, it was kinda ordinary but she was good in it.

Oh, lord.

I need to go to bn.com right now and buy The Losers, so I can check the movie against the source.

The movie? Hit so many of my kinks, it wasn't even funny. It was nigh shameful. The casting, perfect (bar Zoe--but she wasn't as bad as I was expecting--just woefully underweight).

JDM? Growly perfect. Although I couldn't restrain myself from exclaiming "But he's John Winchester!" in Clay's defense at a perhaps ludicrous juncture of the movie. Chris Evans? Incredibly charismatic and hysterical with a brilliant musical hook. Idris Elba? Made of magnetism. Columbus Short and Óscar Jaenada have less to work with, but are still both great.

Jason Patric? OTT and perhaps from a different movie. Definitely the weak link, although he had some funny lines.

The movie is loosely based on the first trade, according to IMDb. I'm definitely going to check out the series at some point; it's only five trades.

Completely agree. I could see what they were going for, but it didn't work.

But I agree that the rest of the cast was great. The movie was funny and things blew up. I was entertained. It wasn't spectacular or amazing, and most of the best bits were in the trailer, but it was still fun times.

I only watched a bit of the trailers, because the anticipation was killing me. The Zoe/JDM fight scene looks better in the movie, but it's still way improbable. And the Chris Evans recurring gag was beautiful, and couldn't be spoiled in preview.

I can't believe people were bitching that Chris Evans wouldn't be able to bulk up to play Captain America. Man's huge.

I liked Gladiator. Crowe didn't blow me away in it, but he was adequate. I have a soft spot for the historical figure of Marcus Aurelius. I enjoyed seeing how his influence reached on past his death, to the character played by Oliver Reed as well as Maximus.
