Persons of the Week:
Jack Lemmon
(Week 1)
Why?: Simply because ITV showed 'The Apartment' and 'Some Like It Hot' this
week (2 brilliant films) and it reminded me of how good this guy really was. A comic genius and a terrific
actor.
Paul Giamatti
(Week 2)
WHY?: Because the brilliant Sideways
came out on DVD recently and his Oscar nomination worthy performance is a real delight to watch. He was also great in
Man on the Moon, American Splendor, Paycheck and The Truman Show.
Mickey Rourke
(Week 3)
WHY?: Because
it's just really good to see a great actor like Mickey making a come-back to what he does best: acting! (forget boxing Mickey!).
He's made a bunch of cool films since he came back: Once Upon a Time in Mexico, Spun and now, the extremely cool Sin City!
He's well and truly back, thanks Rob Rodriguez.
Christian Bale
(Week 4)
WHY?: Because he is excellent as Bruce Wayne and Batman in
Batman Begins. And he is arguably the best actor to have incarnated the dark hero yet. Also, lets not forget his brilliant
performances in American Psycho and Equilibrium. The Machinist is coming out soon on DVD, a film to check out.
Stephen Chow
(Week 5)
WHY?: Because his new film Kung Fu Hustle is a refreshing little
comedy that has charmed film critics everywhere. It contains some kick-ass special effects, hilarious scenes and cartoon-like
chases and gags. Terrific fun.
Johnny Depp
(Week 6)
WHY?: Because he's perormance as the delightfully insane
Willy Wonka in the brilliant Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is a must-see. His previous collaborations with
director Tim Burton have always been excellent: Ed Wood, Edward Scissorhands, Sleepy Hollow...More of that please Johnny.
Matt Dillon
(Week 7)
WHY?: Because he's simply excellent in the new film Crash,
in which he plays a bitter police officer with racist views. Hopefully, this performance will put Matt back on the map
Hayao Miyazaki
(Week 8)
WHY?: Because his latest animated gem Howl's Moving Castle
is another brilliant, magical film and the Japanese Disney proves once again that he is a genius
