What Happened? Russell Crowe
Lickona - Thank you for your response but I didn't make myself clear. Compare Russell's USA box office, on a particular film vs it's overseas box office. In many cases, Europeans appreciate his films more than Americans do. I have long felt that he is so darn independent that he only picks scripts (which I love)that he feels are a cut above the usual while I sit at home screaming for him to do a piece that requires him to be in uniform and to die in his lovers' arms. I'm rambling...sorry about that.— March 10, 2012 11:23 a.m.
What Happened? Russell Crowe
What can I say in so small a space. You have just 'reviewed?' one of the two-three acclaimed actors in the world and according to you he is a yawn. Dear boy - Russell Crowe has never been in a bad movie. Receiving only one Academy Award caused me to discount the Academy as a credible arbitrator of excellence. Case in point, "A Beautiful Mind" which won every award (or close) except for the actor. Does anybody really remember Training Day (A Lethal Weapon look-a-like). You did note Mr. Crowe's stature overseas....that's where movie goers are not fascinated by cartoons and appreciate fine acting. The Insider, Cinderella Man, 3:10 to Yuma, and The Next Three Days were all outstanding films. Tenderness was made as a favor to a friend. The Australian films, The Sum of Us and Romper Stomper should be run in the USA. At my own peril, I loved Virtuosity, A Good Year and Proof of Life. Can't help it. I agree with the fan (year's ago) who stated that he would go to see Russell read the phone book. I wholeheartedly agree. DaMan is not a movie star, he's an ACTOR.— March 9, 2012 3:14 p.m.
