This week’s movie topic is all about Highs & Lows…I’m sure you have a favorite actor/actress. Someone whose work you admire enough to overlook, or even forget completely, those performances where they weren’t quite on their game. Or perhaps there is someone whose portrayals are usually forgettable, but they have surprised you with a gem here or there.
I had a hard time deciding on which actors to choose, so I glanced over the list of recent Golden Globe winners and decided to go with that.
Sandra Bullock – Love her and will watch everything she’s in, but they can’t all be good, right?
The Good-The Proposal, The Blind Side, While You Were Sleeping
The Bad- Premonition, Forces of Nature
Robert Downey Jr. – I always find hin compelling and I’m not sure why.
The Good- The Soloist, Tropic Thunder, Wonder Boys
The Bad- Air America, Johnny Be Good
The Ugly- The Pick-Up Artist
Drew Barrymore– I find her charming.
The Good- Ever After, Wedding Singer, ET
The Bad- Mad Love, Batman Forever
The Ugly- Poison Ivy
Kevin Bacon– He’s always solid and I can count on a good performance.
The Good- Murder in the First, Apollo 13, A Few Good Men
The Bad- Hollow Man
The Ugly- Loverboy
