LRA writes: Ryan Reynolds acting career is to film as paint is to a child's drawing...all over the place. That is not to say it is all over the place in a bad way but more to the point is that he is still struggling to find the perfect balance. He has done horror (Amityville Horror), slapstick (Van Wilder), dramas (Adventureland) and superheroes (Wolverine) but none of those help define him as an actor (or help explain his tendency to play in crap). Most of the time he hits it out of the park even if the film he is in is complete shit (Blade Trinity) but I got the sneaking suspicion that many movie goers don't know what to expect from the man from film to film. Is he going to be funny? Is he going to be bad ass? Is he going to be funny and bad ass? That being said, I still enjoy his films quite a lot and find that he has an uncanny knack for mixing comedy with multiple other genres and these are five of my favorites with him.
It's happening people! We're getting the comic-accurate Wolverine suit as promised by Jackman himself in this Deadpool 3 sneak peek.
Check out the following list of actors with Kenergy that would definitely be approved by Ryan Gosling.
The Adam Project Review: Ryan Reynolds, Mark Ruffalo and Jennifer Garner starrer has its moments.
Pretty good list. I have to agree that Waiting definitely goes over Van Wilder. I loved that movie. And he was great in it. However, I would have Van Wilder somewhere on here.
I definitely love Buried. That is, hands-down, his best acting performance to date and, as you state, definitely shows he has some acting chops. On top of that, it's just a great thriller. Loved it.
The Nines was ok, but nothing I loved really. And Paper Man I'm not too sure about either. There were parts about it I really liked, then parts I hated. In the end, I wouldn't recommend the movie really. It was nice in theory, but just wasn't executed well I don't think. Felt too emo and flimsy and just nothing to it really. And had the tendency to be a bit pretentious and cliche as well.
For me I'd rather put Adventureland in there somewhere as well. Really like that one.
So I'd probably go something more like:
Buried
Waiting
Van Wilder
Adventureland
Then the fifth might be a toss up between Just Friends, Blade or maybe even Smokin Aces (yea, I know. I kinda liked that movie that as a senseless, over-the-top action movie).
Somebody left out my favorite.....Smokin' Aces. Well at least that was my favorite serious one.
I don't know why....but I really loved "Definitely, Maybe". It's probably my favorite chick flick movie and thought it was great. Would have gone with that over Just Friends.
What, no Wolverine Origins?
jk
Waiting is the best of em all :)
