David Weaver from Home And Theater writes: This list is in no particular order. These are just some of my favorite films that Aaron Eckhart, the actor and star of the new film Battle: Los Angeles, has been in over the years that I enjoyed either solely because of him or it was a generally well made and enjoyable film. I think it is only a matter of time before he gets his due, his name might not be well known but he is well liked as an actor and seems to make some fairly smart choices when it comes to picking roles. Even though I haven't seen all his films, I have seen enough of them to know that he is one of my favorite actors working today and these are some of my favorites films of his.
Saban Films announced yesterday that they have acquired U.S. rights to Steven C. Miller’s (Escape Plan 2: Hades, First Kill) Line of Duty.
The inspirational story of World Champion Boxer Vinny Pazienza, who, after a paralyzing car crash, makes a triumphant comeback.
Open Road Films has set Nov. 18 as the wide-release launch for boxing biopic “Bleed for This,” starring Miles Teller as boxer Vinny Paz and Aaron Eckhart as his trainer Kevin Rooney.
What? No Any Given Sunday? Just kidding. I like this list except for The Core. I would switch out The Core for Any Given Sunday. But a good list nonetheless.
good list
Battle L.A. 9/10
He is an extremely talented actor that should pick up more roles to show off his talents. Thank for Smoking is a great movie, and who here doesnt like TDK.
Battle LA sucked, but he was great in it. He was shaking his hand after certain things happened. The only thing I hated is he whispered 9 out of 10 of his lines and it got to a point where its like "there is things exploding, people know your there, why are we whispering?" Stupid directors comment will be like "cus it adds to the effect" no it doesnt.
I thought Neverwas with Eckhart and Sir Ian McKellan was a great flick. Me and my wife randomly discovered it on Netflix instant streaming, and it was an incredibly well done movie. It also stars Brittany Murphy, sadly, giving a rather excellent performance herself. It's a shame she didn't get enough credit for her acting chops in her life. Not all of her roles were winners, but I enjoyed her performances in Neverwas and Ramen Girl.
