  • From a B Movie Buff

    Although I rarely get around to seeing the "well-reviewed" movies until they hit the Netflix recommendations, I do appreciate a great performance — especially when it shows up someplace unexpected. Mickey Rourke's work in Sin City blew me away. And I also agree Naomi Watts stood head and shoulders above any reasonable expectations. I loved King Kong for the spectacle; the moving performance by Watts was pure gravy.
