KEVIN COSTNER is baaaaaaaaack!!!!!!!!

The Upside of Anger

But the whopper surprise is Kevin Costner, back at the top of his game after years of coasting. He digs into the role of Denny, a retired baseball star turned stoned radio DJ who offers Terry a famous shoulder to lean on. OK, when she offers him a quickie, he hides in his yard, but Denny knows to stick around. Costner is a marvel, lacing the role with unforced humor and charm.

No no I don't want to know

Dirt?

No no I don't want to know

I see Rolling Stone gave this one 3½ stars :) Now I have something to see at the movies next weekend.

Plot Outline: Jennifer Aniston plays a woman who learns that her family was the inspiration for the book and film "The Graduate" -- and that she just might be the offspring of the well-documented event.

I'll have forgotten, remembered and forgotten it by Hallowe'en. :)

Is it in his contract or something?

So far

Bull Durham
Field of Dreams
For the Love of the Game (gawdawful)

Oooh look another one coming
Rumor has it
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0398375/

but…he's acted in almost 40 films and played characters in baseball movies 3 times; Bull Durham, Field of Dreams, For Love of the Game. (The fourth is coming up.) Ten percent doesn't define a career.

Movies (that I've seen) where he didn't play a baseball player: Fandango, Silverado, The Untouchables, No Way Out, Revenge, Dances with Wolves, Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves, JFK, The Bodyguard, A Perfect World, Wyatt Earp, Waterworld, The Postman, Message in a Bottle, Thirteen Days.

He's played cowboys, ex-cons, naval officers, cops/sheriffs, a bodyguard, a White House Special Assistant, a DA, a golfer, a college kid, and just plain folks. :)

PS: And Yes, Waterworld is unequivocally, a Bomb.

are you his agent? :D

:)

Great performances by Costner, the boy who plays Butch, Eastwood and Dern. AND one of our favorite West Wingers, Bradley Whitford, playing an especially unlikeable creepy freeper type, replete with buzz cut.

I highly recommend it.

He makes the movie quite watchable. As in Robin Hood, Morgan Freeman, Alan Rickman, and even Christian Slater (and of course, M.E.M.) make the movie far less saccharine.

I never knew that Locksley spoke in a Terre Haute dialect.

1) Ahzeem inventing the telescope about four hundred years early.
2) The use of the word "thug" about seven hundred years before the British would encounter the Thuggee cult.

not really, it was what knocked him off the a list.

Gone was the surfer accent, and the trying-to-be-cute mannerisms. He had a good, solid, mature character going with Charley Waite.

He also directed that picture, which impressed me further. :thumbsup:
