That is goddamn brutal.
evolve?
to what?
Evolve into what?
Jesus Christ, a fucking orangutan! Haven't you guys heard of skilled individuals evolving? i.e. improving their skills to become better at their trade. We talk about MMA fighters evolving all the time. It's not that hard of a concept.
My point is that Ed Norton is the same actor he was 10-15 years ago except he's 10-15 years older. Look at the other actors who came into their own around the same time. Leonardo Dicaprio, Matt Damon, so on and so forth. They take on different roles that test them and turn them into better actors in the long run. Ed Norton hasn't done that IMO, he's still riding the wave of good movies he made in the 90's.
He was and is a better actor than both of those guys.
Fantastic List another big name I'll add is Samuel L. Jackson
Well that's certainly debatable. I might have agreed 10 years ago but I don't think he's done much worthwhile since. If we literally count starting from 2003 on, I can't name one movie that he was particularly good in.
Arnold.
Dude's the greatest action hero of all time, he deserves an Oscar stating such.
Sean Penn won for Milk? That was a good movie, but I don't know if he deserved it. But he likes playing Oscar Bait roles. Hell, what was I Am Sam if not a blatant attempt at an Oscar?
Not sure if already posted but:
From "Honest Movie Posters".
I loved Down in The Valley. I thought it was some of the finest acting I've seen.
I also liked
The Illusionist
The Painted Veil
The Incredible Hulk
Pride and Glory.
Haven't seen anything else.
