But outside of Junebug, I havent seen any from her with substance. Not Doubt, which I didnt know how it got a nomination in the first place. Especially not Julie and Julia. In Sunshine Clearing, there were some parts that were pretty good- especially the part when she said "I could get guys to date me, to want me, but not to love me"- real genuine emotion- but then she goes back to her usual bag of tricks. maybe she'll be more successful with a romantic comedy, but the thing about her is that she doesnt have that same emotional connection with the audience (that a movie star does, and a great romantic comedy requires )- that someone like Julia Roberts have had in perfection since she burst in to the silver screen.robnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-75170949540174903192009-11-15T11:40:37.217-05:002009-11-15T11:40:37.217-05:00Re Amy Adams, no matter the criticism she might ha...Re Amy Adams, no matter the criticism she might have got for Doubt (I think she silenced it perfectly with an Oscar nomination) I read more often than not that everybody still loves her oh so much and wishes that she will (future tense) avoid getting typecast. <br />And then I roll my eyes, because AA IS already playing the same character, she IS typecast, there is no future tense there. On top of that, and DJ is spot on, even if she has a role where she could explore some meaner sides (the aforementioned Julie, the mistress/ songstress she was playing in Miss Pettigrew lives for a day) she chooses to play it safe. <br />One can tell that I am not Ms Adams biggest fan, lol. (Sorry for the rant, but I needed to get this of my chest, since it seems literally everybody thinks so highly of her acting skills and I tend to think, homegirl got lucky with one and a half role).Laranoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-73154295670960218182009-11-15T11:39:51.524-05:002009-11-15T11:39:51.524-05:00Amy Adams is the new sandra bullock/meg ryan/julia...Amy Adams is the new sandra bullock/meg ryan/julia roberts/reese witherpoon until she wins an oscar makes a scary movie and simply gets beaten down by her bad choices.<br /><br />she shoulda won in 2005 for junebug maybe thats it.she knows she can never ever top that creation,my god what has rachel weisz done lately anyhow.come over all full of herself she has an oscar shes too good for the mummy 3yes it was shite but so where the other 2 it didn't matter then but after the oscar it does.mrripleynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-6035166289883765682009-11-15T11:39:51.029-05:002009-11-15T11:39:51.029-05:00Amy Adams is the new sandra bullock/meg ryan/julia...Amy Adams is the new sandra bullock/meg ryan/julia roberts/reese witherpoon until she wins an oscar makes a scary movie and simply gets beaten down by her bad choices.<br /><br />she shoulda won in 2005 for junebug maybe thats it.she knows she can never ever top that creation,my god what has rachel weisz done lately anyhow.come over all full of herself she has an oscar shes too good for the mummy 3yes it was shite but so where the other 2 it didn't matter then but after the oscar it does.mrripleynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-85937047729827952009-11-15T06:47:14.440-05:002009-11-15T06:47:14.440-05:00DJ, she was getting plenty of criticism for it dur...DJ, she was getting plenty of criticism for it during <i>Doubt</i> for playing the "innocent" girl with the cutesy voice after <i>Junebug</i> and <i>Enchanted</i>.<br /><br />I didn't watch the trailer because I know exactly what to expect. The poster was awful enough (Matthew Goode's facial hair is about 10 years too late).Glennhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08194113062830373898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-54156995681230484912009-11-15T05:25:48.930-05:002009-11-15T05:25:48.930-05:00I believe I just saved myself a movie ticket!I believe I just saved myself a movie ticket!Rizzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14820778617816793392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-57311586674419033752009-11-15T05:15:51.800-05:002009-11-15T05:15:51.800-05:00oh amy - i just keep reminding myself junebug, jun...oh amy - i just keep reminding myself <i>junebug, junebug, junebug</i>...par3182https://www.blogger.com/profile/03647653154201086767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-50260342162934003812009-11-15T01:15:17.587-05:002009-11-15T01:15:17.587-05:00I feel like Amy is falling into the same character...I feel like Amy is falling into the same character over and over again (how she is not getting criticism for this, idk). On paper, they're not the same, but she (albeit, sometimes brilliantly) creates the same nuances. Did anyone actually believe she was supposed to be a b**** in Julie and Julia? She didn't flesh out her character in that way at all. And this trailer just confirms my suspicions.<br /><br />The Fighter should be a gritty role for her... lets hope she keeps it that way.DJnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-67108202553452246772009-11-14T22:45:02.452-05:002009-11-14T22:45:02.452-05:00Thank god Amy also has “The Fighter” next year.Thank god Amy also has “The Fighter” next year.joynoreply@blogger.com
