Argh that film was awful, one of the worst action films i've seen at the cinema.
I don't count 'underrated' in terms of oscars/ggs though. Depp is very highly rated.
FUck the oscar tossers.

Yeah? Which bits?
The plot is totally stupid but the performances and script are ace.

The In Kraut
Congo is the Showgirls of adventure films, which means it's rather entertaining exactly because it is so terrible. Laura Linney is the only one who emerged from the whole mess with her dignity intact, but the dialogue, gorilla costumes, paper mache volcanoes and the scenery chewing by the likes of Tim Curry are pretty awful....in a fun way.

Yay, someone else who has seen Citizen X! It is brilliant, in fact I tracked down a copy on video because I liked it so much. Quite chilling.

He was great in To Catch A Killer. Very creepy indeed.

One of my favourite actresses ever, and one of the few people that I didn't know whose death made me genuinely upset.
This might be because I loved her kids TV shows, then loved Oranges, and Four Weddings was partly filmed in my hometown - plus I also have asthma; a certain amount of self-identification going on there!
She actually came up in conversation in the pub this evening, funnily enough (talking about book-to-screen adaptations; on my MA, I wrote an essay about varying approaches to authorship, as exemplified by the extremes of Jeanette Winterson and Anthony Burgess; it was called 'A Clockwork Orange is Not the Only Fruit.
If she'd lived longer, she probably wouldn't have been under-rated.
It's nice to see that someone whose posts I rate highly also likes an actress I rate highly

And oh yes. Scary bastard. Much more convincing than most. Hope his kids haven't watched his movies too much!
Michael Ironside was also mentioned earlier, and he is fantastic; I just always keep reading his name as that detective in a wheelchair.

Weird one I know, but Diana ross in "Lady sings the blues" was absolutely incredible.

Weird one I know, but Diana ross in "Lady sings the blues" was absolutely incredible.
Her Billie Holiday was an adequate performance, but I recently showed Mahogany (a film that does for fashion design and modelling what Showgirls did for strippers) to a friend of mine and we were helpless with laughter at Diana Ross' awful performance. She's almost as bad in The Wiz and her brief acting career makes Madonna look like Meryl Streep.

What the hell are we supposed to tell the kids?
Sorry - this is un-lauded, multi-millionaire, see her picture everywhere, star of series franchised across the globe Sarah Michelle Geller?
You are right - she just doesn't get the attention.
You just fancy her. Not got a problem with that.

She's successful, of course, but not one I see mentioned as a great actress, which is what I was talking about.
I don't fancy her, though - I like Darla and Faith.

She has been very typecast as Buffy, and as great a series as it was it isn't the type of series that gets taken very seriously. There are two scenes in particular where she absolutely stands out as an actor. In the 2nd series after Angel turns bad and she is sobbing in her bedroom. And in the 7th series where she has the shit kicked out of her by the uber vampire and everyone is feeling defeated and she makes the speech about the First swallowing her whole and choking on her. It makes the hairs stand on end.
I'd also say, and I'm preparing to take shit for saying it, Richard Fleeshman who played Craig Harris on Coronation St is an amazing actor. There were times when he really stood out on that show, not hard I know. But he is very talented.

The kid who plays Abbie in Eastenders, she's only about 10 or 11 but she's a brilliant little actress.
