Happy to see someone else recognise this lovely little performance. Romola Garai is turning into an absolutely terrific actress.

I haven’t sat through GoodFellas as a whole for quite some years, but I do occasionally catch it in bits and pieces. Parts of it I still find incredibly compelling – there’s a raw energy which I like, and the art direction, costumes and cinematography are terrific. I really like Ray Liotta and Lorr...

2. Alfre Woodard; Passion Fish

I'm always happy to see anyone recognise this great performance by a wonderful actress - but how can anyone justify placing it in support? Surely she's as much the film's focus as Mary McDonnell. Its like splitting Thelma from Louise.

Not only is it a lousy performance, but how in the world can anyone consider it supporting? I also believe that its a dreadful performance but, although I haven't seen the movie in years, I do recall Cruise disappears half way through until the end, with the story focusing on the Brad Pitt characte...

December 28, 2005 'Brokeback' a Quiet Box Office Boon By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Filed at 10:44 p.m. ET LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Who's afraid of a couple of gay cowboys? Not moviegoers, who helped ''Brokeback Mountain'' post the highest per-screen average over the film-flush holiday weekend. The Ang Lee fi...

I plan to read the short story now that I've seen the film. Do, immediately. I tracked it down after reading a lovely comment by Penelope on here a while back, and its quite beautifully written. I, too, have been suffering from what seems like the internal bias of a gay person towards this film - b...
