You thought Kevin Costner "shined" in Dances with Wolves? He was a mannequin! I will cop to thinking he was quite good in Bull Durham, JFK, A Perfect World, and Tin Cup but that's really all I can remember without actually feeling pain in my head.

Dammit! Whenever I criticize Criddic, karma kicks me in the ass. I meant to vote for Dances with Wolves, not Schindler's List. I still have a hard time believing people actually liked Kevin Costner once upon a time.

Wow. I'm seeing a lot of sick and handicapped people... I'm no big fan of William Goldman but I also don't like to vote for the retard at any given opportunity, but the "Crazy Guy" vote is equally deceptive. Hopkins is oodles of fun in Silence but would I rank that above the remarkable tr...

Hmm...I wouldn't say they did the right thing as much as they did the somewhat acceptable thing. I mean, I will never understand the allure of Jodie Foster in The Silence of the Lambs or even her work in The Accused . She's a fine, credible actress but she never struck me as anything more than comp...

It sucks that Schindler's List is such an amazing film because I'd love to be able to vote for Unforgiven . I still find it difficult to believe that this crackling, visceral, deeply moving yarn won Best Picture above such obvious, hard-headed contenders as A Few Good Men and Scent of a Woman . I n...

Wow, what a worthless decade. So many inexceptional performances, so little time.

Although I admire the subtlety of Anna Paquin and Juliette Binoche, I'd have to side with the only singular tour de force of the lot, Dianne Wiest.

Went with Landau although Gene Hackman is scary close to being my choice.

Incidentally, Robin Williams, while dull in Good Will Hunting, at least didn't screech his film to a hault like Jack Palance did in City Slickers.

Well, I think Rain Man is decent enough but not as good as Mississippi Burning ?!? That movie is terrible, just an ignorant white man's view of the South full of bad dialogue and dull direction. I don't mind a sledgehammer approach in something like Midnight Express where you have to feel the pain,...

Criddic, how are you not rich and white? You told me earlier that you were young, born Republican, but not pampered. HOW ARE YOU NOT PAMPERED?
