Back in his ol' days on The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. Someone else breaks the news to him that Shaft isn't real. He gets all choked up. The show wasn't the best of sitcoms, but I'll watch Will Smith painting a wall, for crying out loud.

Well, it wasn't the best, but it certainly wasn't the worst. It worked pretty well as a sort of 90's update of Diff'rent Strokes. And it was pretty funny--Smith has a natural charisma, ain't no doubt.

Okay. Trying to think of a character Holden didn't already list...

Well, all the actors in Bully did a great job, esp. Brad Rentfro as Marty and Nick Stahl as Bobby.

An unsettling flick--Larry Clark's best to date.

BWAHAAAAA!!
*imagine that I was sitting at my desk and busted out a huge belly laugh at that one*

Anthony Hopkins played a good Nixon in the movie he did, the made for tv movie Door to Door, that was a good movie about the Salesman( who i might add is still at his work) I mean i read about him in the people magazine and i must say i am amazed.
There was movie on HBO about Marilyn Monroe(the girl from Romy and Michelles High School reunion, MIRA???), that was a great depicting movie,.
JFK-i can't think of who played him, but that movie was long yet portrayed well
Liam Neison play a good Schindler in Schindlers list. Among one of my favorite movies.
