Supporting Actor of the Week

Delroy Lindo



One of the best black supporting actors to have in your movie, Delroy is excellent in dramatic, action, and even some comedic roles. I like his action roles with Jet Li best (The One, Romeo must Die) but he was perfect as the strangely moral drug dealer in Clockers. He excels at the sympathetic yet powerful character mostly due to his facial acting, namely his eyes which do brilliant work. For some other good showcases of skill check out The Core, Heist, The Last Castle, Ransom, and Malcolm X. Delroy Lindo is another supporting actor who I would love to write into a movie; because he enhances any scene he is in. Recommended viewing this week will be The One, so you can get your dose of Jason Statham and Jet Li as well.




This week in the Buzzbin

The Good

Serenity - The Firefly Movie has been officially greenlit. And the whole cast has signed on. This is all good news.

Logan's Run - The wonderful Brian Singer might be remaking the classic Logan's Run in which a Utopia is made where everyone is young and attractive. But when you reach 21 its time to go. Should be good since Brian is an excellent director.

Prince of Persia - The popular video game has spawned a movie, and the prospect is actually kind of cool. I think the sequences where he manipulates time ought to be beautiful.

Spiderman 3 - Has been put into production, and although I haven't seen the second one, I am sure this series will be worth watching.

Troy - I am looking forward to this one, we haven't had a good Braveheart scale action movie (other than LOTR) so this should be enjoyable.

The Day After Tomorrow - The world is nearly destroyed in Tsunamis and a near artic freeze. This movie shows what it is like after the destruction. It looks like this one might be brilliant.

Batman Begins - This one gets better every week. Just listen to the casting pics. Christian Bale, Gary Oldman, Michael Caine, Katie Holmes, Ken Watanabe, Liam Neeson, and Morgan Freeman. Cap it off with Christopher Nolan as director and this is going to be magnificient.

The Bad

Hellboy - I don't think this one will do well. It looks like a cheap League of Extraordinary Gentleman and we all know how that one did.

Hairspray - I like the idea of Mel Brooks remaking his own Producers but this musical we can live without.

Saved! - Mandy Moore satires Christianity. I doubt that they will satire in a healthy or intelligent way, I see this being vile and stupid.

This was a good week not many bad picks. The others I don't know how to feel about them yet. Although the choice of Benecio Del Toro as Moe in the upcoming Three Stooges movie has me intrigued.
