I think we can start the discussion asap. As for Hirsch, I agree 100%. I think he should be recognized! Depp's role in another Burton film should be interesting, definitely looking forward to it. - jedmed Sat, 08 Dec 2007 18:49:35 +0100 http://themovie-fanatic.com/film_reviews/current/michaelclayton/#comment-234 i agree with Clooney man, also Hoffman....how about Depp in upcoming Sweeney Todd and i really like Emile Hirsch in INTO THE WILD...McAvoy i have yet to see but i think he's strong as well...one more ill through out there....Viggo Mortensen for Eastern Promises... i'd love to discuss nominations man including actor/actress supporting, directors everything!!! - dimichele305 Sat, 08 Dec 2007 01:30:56 +0100 http://themovie-fanatic.com/film_reviews/current/michaelclayton/#comment-232 hey David, I'm planning to add a banner that says 'Clooney, for your consideration- Best Actor!'. I truly think he deserved to be nominated, at least. I know that Denzel's portrayal in American Gangster was awesome and the same goes with Bale in Yuma, and also Casey and Brad in The Assassination, James McAvoy too in Atonement and obviously Hoffman in Before the Devil...but Clooney was simply terrific! The only performance I have yet to see is of course DDL in There Will Be Blood, but I think tMF might go all the way with George! What's your take on this? Yeah, after the top 10 best and worst films, we might as well discuss the best actor and best actress next! (Calling Jeremy!) ;D - jedmed Fri, 07 Dec 2007 22:27:38 +0100 http://themovie-fanatic.com/film_reviews/current/michaelclayton/#comment-230 yea that scene was done very well...do you think any of the three (Clooney Wilkinson, or Swinton) will get at least a nod for OSCAR? i belive each one is worthy - dimichele305 Fri, 07 Dec 2007 02:36:34 +0100 http://themovie-fanatic.com/film_reviews/current/michaelclayton/#comment-218 Great review! I have watched a lot of Clooney's work. I think of him first as a Doctor in ER and he was such a great actor even then. His personality and the causes he pursues just adds to the legend. You are exactly right on saying that Clooney never hides his age and he is proud to show that he is not the matinee idol that he used to be a few years back, but there is such wisdom and humility and charm that permeates the very presence of this awesome actor. I love the scene where he is consulting a couple who got into a car accident and ran away leaving their victim. He delivers his lines with such humility and treats his clients his respect even though they don't deserve it. He is business as usual and he never allows his emotions to show, but that is about to end.... Wilkinson is also terrific in the film. I have seen a number of movies where he is also featured and this is simply one of his best performances. I'm also a big fan of Tilda Swinton, not because of Narnia, but because of 'The Deep End' where she played a young mother who murdered his son's gay lover. In this movie, she is just perfect as the ruthless counsel for the corrupt U North. I can feel her paranoia and her lack of decency, she is just terrific. I love this movie. It's about discovering oneself in the midst of corruption and evil all around. - jedmed Wed, 05 Dec 2007 16:08:46 +0100
