I agree with Carrie. Brosnan has many of Grant's contradictory qualities, only he presents them with atypical subtlety.joe baltakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11467420961490314339noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18439960.post-8625335887468005712010-04-05T13:41:34.893-04:002010-04-05T13:41:34.893-04:00Sounds like jealousy on Denby's part.

That's probably the reasoning behind his Kim Cattrall comment; of the 4 S&TC gals she was by far the most gorgeous and underrated.S.

I thought him merely attractive an affable until the remake of "The Thomas Crown Affair" and the dementedly entertaining "Matador." Now I think he's consistently turning in great work.

That was the first time Brosnan really made me sit up and take notice of his acting. I'm looking forward to seeing "Ghost Writer," too, when I have a chance. I appreciate the fact that he's tried to do interesting work, when he could have easily coasted in Bond-like roles. That actually seems very un-lazy, now that I think of it.wwolfenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18439960.post-11873925376431770772010-04-05T06:06:34.209-04:002010-04-05T06:06:34.209-04:00Just wanted to drop you a line and say 'nice b...Just wanted to drop you a line and say 'nice blog'Mercedeznoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18439960.post-51726882349672907182010-04-04T16:04:35.250-04:002010-04-04T16:04:35.250-04:00You know, I haven’t seen much of Brosnan's ear...You know, I haven’t seen much of Brosnan's early work, but I agree from what I’ve seen recently that he’s been fairly remarkable. It's not much of a role but I particularly like the way he plays off Streep in "Mamma Mia!" I like the light-handed cynicism he brings to the part. I remember him only as a TV actor and just barely. But these days he shows an impressive confidence.Ashernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18439960.post-48108737815961062712010-04-04T13:14:06.825-04:002010-04-04T13:14:06.825-04:00Joe, I've also ben enchanted with Brosnan'...Joe, I've also ben enchanted with Brosnan's work of late and I was happy to read this. I get the impressiont hat you are not some sort of status quo critic. I like that you don't spout the usual company line of conventional wisdom but stand in brave defense of non-conformism. All I ask of a critic is to provide some justification for his opinions, which you do.Jeffnoreply@blogger.com
