I am really loving that show so far.
+1. Much as I loved The Witch, Thoroughbreds was the movie in which she really blew me away.
She was really good in "Thoroughbreds."
She played a more prominent role in Thoroughbreds & Morgan than in Glass. I admittedly haven’t seen Morgan, but she’s the title character.
Plemons so completely nails his role in this film. I don’t know how he was able to pull off that cadence without bursting into laughter every time.
This article is SO on point. McAdams is terrific in everything. So is Jesse Plemons, who also completely crushes his role in this movie. It’s such a treat when actors of their caliber are given juicy comic roles.
I love all these examples because McAdams doesn’t go for dumb and ditzy which I would imagine is the easy route to take.
Everything in the bar when she’s singing the song with the gun and pointing it at the guys while taunting and not realizing it’s a real gun was fantastic. She comes off like a complete psychopath to these guys who have no idea who she is or what she wants but to the audience she’s just charming and having fun. The…
The funny thing about the criticism of Marisa Tomei is that she has SO proven herself in the years since. She could have won at least two more Oscars for the Wrestler and In the Bedroom, and deserved it for the first. (She also crushed it in Before the Devil Knows You’re Dead).
But, I THOROUGHLY agree with the premise…
That was great. Also for some reason I crack up at the scene early on when Brooks tosses their boardgames onto the floor, and McAdams just scurries to retrieve them. It’s a quick, throwaway moment, but it’s true to her character and her timing is great.
The squeaky toy exchange had me in stitches. And I’d already seen it at least a half-dozen times by the time I got into the theater.
I appreciate the attention given to her line read of “Oh no, he died!”, as it had me rolling with laughter for several minutes.
Someone send this to McAdams. She really killed it and should be recognized for it. I can easily imagine another actor overdoing this, but McAdams kept it in control with smart choices. I’ve always found her to be solid in anything she works on, but she was especially good and a re-revelation in Game Night.
Goulet: Jingle bells, Batman smells, Robin laid an egg. Batmobile lost its wheel, the Joker got a way...hey!
Final Destination, as a horror franchise, might be the best one overall. Three are great, one is good and one, while terrible, is still not hitting the lows that other long running horror franchises hit. I’d love to see more, but Melton and Dunstan are terrible and other than the first Feast, they just don’t…
“his recent comments to the U.K.’s Daily Star, in which he laments “generation snowflake,” were at least partially prompted by the controversy surrounding Hart’s old, homophobic tweets and the fallout of his gig hosting the Oscars.”
He’s always been the guy from Phantom of the Paradise to me. Of course, I’m from the one city in the world in which that movie is venerated above all others (except maybe Slap Shot). And Williams has been here many times to take part in the civic Phantom celebrations, and sing the songs. Why does he do that? Just for…
I’ve seen it three times now, and it was best when I was stone-cold sober.
Oh yeah, I was just having fun with the language.
