Last night Monkeybone was on teevee. I saw most of it (edited, of course). The movie was so-so, but what really stuck with me is how uncomfortable I was watching Brendan Fraser when the Stu body was inhabited by Monkeybone. I don't know if it's because he's a super actor and I was supposed to be creeped out, or if I'm just so used to him playing essentially noble hero roles that I just couldn't buy him in this role. I haven't seen anything else he's been in since the Mummy Returns, I don't think, so maybe he does all kinds of roles now and I just don't get it. But normally leather pants activate my 'oooh! it's a bad boy!' salivary glands, and this time I nearly turned the channel.
(On the other hand, it was the only time I've ever found Chris Kattan to be even slightly watchable.) |

The last movie I saw him in was "Loony Toons, back in action" (though he had a small part in "Dikie Roberts"). But I have liked him best in "Blast From The Past" which came out the same year as "The Mummy" and "Dudly Do Right" (Man he is a busy actor!). He was perfect as "George Of The Jungle" (which is why the second one sucked, 'cause they didn't get him), and had that same innocence in "Encino Man" that I liked. |
I saw Hollywoodland friday night. I really enjoyed the film. There were a few moments when it was slow, but the performances were amazing all around. Even Ben Afflek (Big surprise there, although if there was a "worst" it would be him). Brody was wonderful. It was difficult to take you're eyes off him and his mesmerizing performance. I was very impressed.
I give it 9 bornieo's out of 10!! |
Haven't seen Monkeybone but Brendan Fraser has put together a pretty decent dramatic resume in between his more slapstick roles. Particularly The Quiet American and Gods and Monsters.
|
Is he a white hat or a black hat in those?
|
Definitely a white hat in Gods and Monsters (with perhaps a touch of pink).
I haven't seen The Quiet American. Any good? |
Just finished watching 'Grand Hotel'. It's a grand film. Love it. :)
