MADE wasn't the best debut, but ELF and ZATHURA are both solid entertainments. He'll never be Altman or anything, but he can do fun studio pics better than most directors nowadays. Should do better with IRON MAN than the director of TAXI did with FANTASTIC 4, anyway.<BR/><BR/>And whoever thought Downey would be top-lining a blockbuster? I love the guy, but given his history, this was unexpected. But in a really GOOD way.Paul C.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02699493473242261477noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-65802100871851503832007-03-13T16:42:00.000-04:002007-03-13T16:42:00.000-04:00I personally loved Sky Captain, and her in it.

Granted, it's not her best work by a long shot ('Royal Tenenbaums' takes the cake for me), but it was certainly a stretch for her to take, and she took that archetype, manipulated it and manifested, and I enjoyed watching the transformation.Beauhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12330740987516007108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-89079601835709540002007-03-13T02:16:00.000-04:002007-03-13T02:16:00.000-04:00Gwyneth is actually my favourite member of the cas...Gwyneth is actually my favourite member of the cast. I like Jeff Daniels fine, but I never really jumped on the Terrance Howard bandwagon (although he was good in <I>Hustle & Flow</I>) and Downey Jr? I dunno. Not a fave.<BR/><BR/>Gwyneth though is someone who I just <I>like</I>. <BR/><BR/>And, I sorta liked <I>Sky Captain</I> and sorta liked Gwyneth in it.

I mean, Angie Jolie had some fun schtick to work with, so it's not really fair comparing the two - Angie got an eye-patch and leather! Gywnnie got a hair wave and tweed. <BR/><BR/>I grossed myself out with all the name-shortening I just did in that paragraph, btw.Jason Adamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18254334131909339157noreply@blogger.com
