Ryan Gosling Film Fest Report:
Um, he's great. Finally finished watching Stay, The Believer and Half Nelson. He's not given enough to do in the first one, but it's likely his sexiest role (heheh, as the suicidally depressed weirdo).
He's also great as the Jewish NeoNazi in The Believer, but ... though it's based on a true story ... the role is still quite fantastical. I found his best work to be as the drug-addicted elementary-school teacher in Half Nelson, and his Oscar nomination for that role well deserved.
He sported wildly different looks in each of these films, but his roles are united by Gosling's vast charisma, deadly gorgeousness and quirky acting style.
Oh, he's got a damn sexy voice. I think I'm in love.
