i watched "Devil's Advocate" again recently, and i love the final scene with Lomax and Milton more every time i watch it. Pacino eats it up!
"And while you're jumpin' from one foot to the next, what is he doing? He's laughin' His sick, fuckin' ass off! He's a tight-ass! He's a SADIST!"
anyway, here are some other ham jobs that i can't get enough of.
Anthony Hopkins in "Silence of the Lambs"
Geoffrey Rush in "Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl"
Daniel Day-Lewis in "There Will be Blood"
edit: just remembered Willem Dafoe in "Spider-Man" and "Shadow of the Vampire" |

Absolutely. I found that his Donald Wolfit turn towards the end completely changed the impact the movie had on me. And not for the better.
But I love Alec Baldwin's rant in Glengarry Glen Ross. And the other actors are queuing up to give it 110% in that too.

Great yelling, sure, but Pacino was still unable to match the wallpaper mastication he'd already achieved in SCARFACE.
Yes, but is there a movie in which Pacino underacts? If there were a lifetime achievement award for unrelenting manducation he'd be a shoo-in.

Would that be when he leaves the gun or when he takes the cannoli?
Well, OK, I was exaggerating. In his earlier performances he's often quite subdued. But it's been a while since any carpet in his vicinity was safe. Occupational hazard of Hollywood stardom, I think. As actors become stars their mannerisms become amplified to the point of self-parody, & instead of playing characters Al plays Al, Jack plays Jack, Bob plays Bob, Dustin plays Dustin, & so on. (One definition of a star: someone famous enough to have lost their surname.)

I came across another film that I have always liked, although I really can't explain why. The film is nothing spectacular, it had problems in deciding whether it was comedy or drama, and was predictable and annoying. But I like it.
The film is The January Man, with Kevin Kline and Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio. It features Alan Rickman in what I think is one of his first film roles, just after Die Hard. The scene-chewer in this film? Oh my GOD! Rod Steiger. I truly thought the man would have a stroke in every scene!! Screaming, yelling, ranting and raving. It actually was quite fun to watch. |
