Actors Who Spent Their Whole Careers Playing The Same Role
Bruce Willis
Character: John McClane, and Variations Thereof
Examples: The Fifth Element, The Last Boy Scout, Striking Distance, Hudson Hawk, Die Hard, Tears of the Sun
Bruce Willis is well general with a thing: portrait badass easily-relatable. Far it is of me to judge the type - it is rather rotten good with its work, after all - but of the more advantageous roles of Willis' imply usually guns, explosions, and a-coverings.
Many versions of Willis of John McClane have light differences, naturally: in the fifth element, McClane is fair and slightly romantic; in the last scout of boy, McClane is drunk more and wash-towards the top that usual; in the falcon of Hudson, McClane is cartoony; in 16 blocks, McClane is old and grumpy.
Granted, Willis tried to make an incursion into the kingdom of the right drama (history of us, for example), but of the career of Bruce always basically goes down to his incredible capacity to give to a kick the ass and to take names. Even when playing a traveller limit-psychotic of time in twelve monkeys, it always seems like an abnormally strong and trustful name-taker and/or an ass-pulseur.
Ben Affleck
Character: Almost Charming, Immensely Douchebaggy Sonofabitch
Examples: Good Will Hunting, Gigli, Reindeer Games, Smokin’ Aces
To slacken, to rest behind, and I will describe one of the most satisfactory moments in the recent history of cinema.
Have of Smokin'. Approximately forty minutes Po Ben Affleck and his buddies of hunter of generosity stop by the side of the road and discuss their plan for the buddy of tightening “have” Israel. Suddenly, a strong and black car which resembles him can spout out came from the well of the hell itself comes shouting near, heavy metal music bursting extremely. Affleck and his are used as team-member the glance above in curiosity as it dispatches in the distance. They speak for a little more about the plan, until the opposite of devil-car, stop, and proceed to the jet Affleck and its car with the fire of machine-gun.
It is right - the best moment have in Smokin les' made take part Ben Affleck obtaining his shit destroyed by three néo-Nazis. And it is even when it plays one of its less irritating natures.
Starting with Mallrats and the progress from there, Ben Affleck summarizes the smarmy, almost-but-not-all with fact-attractive-enough-with-guarantee-sound-be-a-enormous-moron that we all met at a certain point in our lives. In addition to the fact that it is too good remote to play us of the character are supposed to scorn (Shannon de Mallrats could be the best example of this), all its characters have a smugness about them that marks it rotten impossible near with like. It transformed Murdock grimaçant chechmate into douchebag, saké for qualité'. It takes a hell of to encourage the breakage-neck much to seem fop, but Affleck was more than until charging.
Harrison Ford
Character: Angry-Looking, Can-Do Badass
Examples: Firewall, Frantic, Witness, Air Force One
I permit gladly that Ford had somewhat more distance than actors early on in its career (instead of annoy to to look ability, was he bath-ate cocky Schauen an ability bath-ate), but the inevitable grumpiness, which comes approximately resulting from old age and a career into showbusiness more or less has, reduces each individual letter Ford for the eighties to one pissed away described, thin veiled version of Harrison Ford.
The fact even ignore that US probably never furious-look a president as as Ford in the Air Force would select, views of the Gecken even pissed, if it assumed, in order to be lucky. In a film, how it is ready, everyone in 10 may kill party wall, Ford of views mile radius - and that is, before its family is even kidnapped. Late Ford letters really do not have much an elbow: it begins annoyed, kills annoys some people and stores the people, which it loves, but still really looks goddamn, which is provoked over it. For approximately three-quarter the duration of the Zeuges I to be really stored was not safe, whether he was in the process, the kid before the pressure he under the rubber tires of a überschreitenen truck or fairly along for one while lines him up.
, Ford lets new attitude toward to its roles honestly be the following Indiana Jones fun of the film terriblly to the clock: Ford guidance its older, more bezaubernder or becomes he keeps his new, will-steps blicken-an-ihn condition or it is a mixture of the two?
Sean Connery
Character: Scottish
Examples: Name of the Rose, First Knight, The Hunt for Red October, Highlander
With in the past voted the man with the worst false accent in the showbusiness, there is something slightly odd about this fact that at any point as a Sean the career that of Connery A even tried to adopt the indigenous accent of a character it played. It does not import if you are a Spaniard, a Russian, or a monk: if Sean Connery plays you, you will have a Scottish accent.
Connery more or less managed to leave with him considering its roles were differently filled of badassery total (“it tellsh I that weak the goosh-shtepping as yourselves should test books of reading instead of baerning them”), but he must still be known as - for a so large actor, he is lazy rather rotten when he comes to his accents.

“Lars and The Real Girl,” Craig Gillespie, U.S.

A former cop (Samuel L. Jackson) who now earns a wage as a crime scene cleaner unknowingly participates in a cover-up at his latest job. Also starring Eva Mendes, Maggie Lawson, Ed Harris. However, Renny Harlin has made a few clunkers as of recent years including the Sylvester Stallone race-car driving film Driven (4.2 on imdb), Exorcist: The Beginning (5.1 on imdb) and one of the worest movies of 2006, The Covenant (4.7 on imdb).

But when Kenner Bach’s brilliant and guilt-ridden attorney Arthur Edens (Tom Wilkinson) sabotages the U/North case, Clayton faces the biggest challenge of his career and his life.

A CIA analyst questions his assignment after witnessing an unorthodox interrogation at a secret detention facility outside the US. Starring Reese Witherspoon, Jake Gyllenhaal, Meryl Streep, Alan Arkin, Peter Sarsgaard, JK Simmons. I’m mostly interested in this film due to the filmmaker. The first review of the movie at cincity was a slightly negative: “a textbook Message Picture. And it’s a very well-crafted one at that. It’s well acted, competently written, and very capably directed. But like all Message Pictures, it’s totally airtight and DOA as a piece of living, breathing art. The Good Intentions and Important Message are hammered at you with typical Oscar-baiting Hollywood subtlety.“
Movie Trailer
Release: October 12th.

Tera-Discs To Blow Away HD-DVD and Blu-Ray?
Blu-ray and HD DVD have pushed the limits of optical storage further than anyone thought possible. But a new technology has emerged which makes Blu-ray’s 50GB capacity look tiny. Mempile in Israel says it’s able to fit an incredible 1TB of data onto one “TeraDisc” which is the same size as CDs and DVDs. That’s 20 times the capacity of a maxed-out dual-layer Blu-ray disc.The incredible capacity achieved using this new technology is made possible by employing 200 5GB layers, each one only five microns apart. The discs are completely transparent to the red lasers which are used in the associated recorder.Tech UK is reporting a startling new disc storage technology that could end the HD war between HD-DVD and Blu-Ray: the Tera-Disc. How much data? On a 1TB disc, you could store 212 DVD-quality movies, 250,000 MP3 files or 1,000,000 large Word documents. Holy flarging snit!
