I like him, too, but he's become a hugely unpleasant actor.joe baltakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11467420961490314339noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18439960.post-72810436641713092962009-10-05T12:25:43.722-04:002009-10-05T12:25:43.722-04:00I like Eckhart.

I find that Christian Bale, as much as I like him, is a cold actor. He excels in parts that require him to be distant (like Patrick Bateman or Batman). He had more emotions as a child in Empire of the Sun. I'd love to see him in something that stretches his emotions.Sylkonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18439960.post-5138635392493635432009-09-28T18:33:16.665-04:002009-09-28T18:33:16.665-04:00He was terrific in "Thank You For Smoking.&qu...He was terrific in "Thank You For Smoking." I expected a smarmy, impressed-with-itself movie that would chicken out in the last ten minutes, but instead I saw a smart, (mostly) tough-edged movie that wobbled a little, but managed to stay on course to a solid ending. Eckhart brought a gusto to his role that was refreshing to see in today's world of emo boys, and that was essential to the movie's success. Put that performance next to his patient, brawny-but-sensitive biker dude in "Erin Brockavich," and you've already got an actor with impressive range.wwolfenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18439960.post-13430649061289071642009-09-27T15:45:58.799-04:002009-09-27T15:45:58.799-04:00Something tells me that Eckhart's time will co...Something tells me that Eckhart's time will come shortly. Of course, like a lot of actors, he's likely to be rewarded for the wrong performance. I agree. His Harvey Dent was major.Marilynnoreply@blogger.com
