A Beautiful Mind (2001)
A Beautiful Mind, a beautiful film
I love this movie--it's difficult to come up with the right words, but it is almost perfect. Russell Crowe's performance is brilliant, as usual, giving us insights into a character that I believe no other actor today is capable of. It will be a crime if he does not receive an Oscar for this role just because he won one last year. Ron Howard has crafted a film of such emotion and power, it will also be criminal if he does not receive the recognition he deserves at Oscar time. Jennifer Connelly is fantastic, as are the other supporting characters. My only complaint about the movie is the choice of Charlotte Church for the vocals on the soundtrack; I'm not sure what it is, maybe her voice is just too "instrument-like," but I was very disappointed in her performance of the love theme, "All Love Can Be." Her voice blends into the music to such an extent that I can't hear or remember all the words, even though I have seen the movie more than once and have listened to the soundtrack several times. Someone whose voice stood out more from the accompanying music would have been better.
Love in Limbo (1993)
Adorable movie--Russell Crowe is fantastic!
This is a very sweet coming-of-age movie, very funny, and Russell Crowe is amazing! Those who know him only from Gladiator will be surprised to see the range of his acting abilities. Arthur Baskin (his character) is one of the best onscreen nerdy virgins I have ever seen1 Watch this movie--how can we get it re-released in NTSC format?
