Brings to mind MDA's Scenic Route on silent movie overacting. Now that I think about it, she was almost doing a silent movie performance, which felt like overkill for an already comically "mute" character.<br /><br />Interesting you bring up wanting to know her fate. At one point during my first viewing, I was really hoping there'd be the twist of BangBang and Penelope pulling their own elaborate con on the guys.Nictatehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12174200071752059810noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8838733.post-90303126305635250762010-02-03T19:38:23.297-05:002010-02-03T19:38:23.297-05:00I felt Kikuchi's winkwink nudgenudge role (and...I felt Kikuchi's winkwink nudgenudge role (and surely this wass precisely as written) to be part of the larger 'con' of the movie, ie; Bang Bang is there to put you at ease that this is a trifle entertainment... i think the weightier aspects of the resolution are all the stronger for their unexpectedness, and the stellar diversion of Bang Bang is a big reason for this. good job voters. My biggest gripe from a second viewing of tBB is her unresolved fate.Lee Hendrickshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02232522561633740445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8838733.post-7010324579900355822010-02-03T17:40:48.934-05:002010-02-03T17:40:48.934-05:00Funny, I found Rinko to be the weak link in BLOOM....Funny, I found Rinko to be the weak link in BLOOM. Her performance felt too winkwink nudgenudge to me and took me out of the film.<br /><br />Schartzman rocked FOX. There was surprisingly subtlety in his voice acting and he captured that misunderstood kid vibe perfectly. One welcomed spot of warmth in a film that felt icy and stiff to me otherwise.<br /><br />CORALINE left me cold, too. Thank god the loveable UP came along this year, so I wouldn't think I had an animation block. <br /><br />Hats off to Tony Gilroy for bringing some old school, wit-generated sparks to the big screen.Nictatehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12174200071752059810noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8838733.post-51531996421030567722010-02-03T15:56:22.794-05:002010-02-03T15:56:22.794-05:00Schwartzman should be higher, but I'll take it...Schwartzman should be higher, but I'll take it.C.
