Ranking the Best Performances So Far From Margaret Qualley
Margaret Qualley, ever since I first saw her on the screen in The Nice Guys (and Palo Alto), has struck me as an actress worth keeping an eye on. Early in her career, she just had a screen presence and a vibe that suggested stardom. Now, having seen over a decade of strong work from […] More

An Updated Ranking of the Films of Ridley Scott
It goes without saying, but Ridley Scott is a fascinating director. At his best, few are better. On the flip-side, however, there aren’t many A-listers more capable of a boondoggle than Scott. So, we have a superstar filmmaker who is equally able to make a masterpiece or a disaster. Recently, he’s been on mostly a winning […] More

An Updated Ranking of the Best Performances to Date from Josh Brolin
As I’ve said previously, when Josh Brolin is cast properly, he can be among the most compelling actors in the business. His charm and intensity mix together to form someone you can equally see as an action hero or a neighbor.

An Updated Ranking of the Best Performances From Kristen Stewart
As I’ve said previously, Kristen Stewart is an actress who only in the last few years has begun to properly get her flowers.

Ranking the Best Performances So Far from Matthew McConaughey
Matthew McConaughey took a bit to really establish himself as a respected actor, to be fair, but he’s been a movie star since almost his debut.

An Updated Ranking of the Best Performances to Date from Anne Hathaway
Like I said last time around, Anne Hathaway doesn’t quite get the credit she deserves for being an Academy Award winning actress. Her Best Supporting Actress win for Les Misérables was such a foregone conclusion, the effectiveness of her work has been lost to time a bit. Yet, she’s always an interesting actress to watch (or speak with, […] More

Ranking the Best Performances to Date from Ben Foster
One of my favorite people in Hollywood (or now outside of it, as he’s recently moved to Nashville from Los Angeles) is Ben Foster. Whenever I see him in a project, regardless of its size, I know I’m in for an interesting performance. This week saw him as a part of the cast of the […] More

A Fresh Ranking of the Best Performances From Robert Pattinson as ‘The Odyssey’ Sets Sail
As I’ve now said on a few occasions, Robert Pattinson is a perfect case study in what a young actor should do after making it big in a franchise. Sure, he came to fame in the Twilight series, which admittedly wasn’t much of a strain on his talents, but once that ended, he almost exclusively sought out unique auteurs. […] More

An Updated Ranking of the Films of Christopher Nolan
It goes without saying, but Christopher Nolan is a unique breed of filmmaker. Auteur driven blockbuster filmmaking is few and far between, so he’s a rare bird. Like many writer/directors, he began with independent roots, before growing to studio cinema. Of course, Nolan also revolutionized comic book and superhero films, paving the way for him to […] More
