I'm a professional movie critic. These are the 2 best performances of the decade.srs
I don't mean to sound pretentious, but the fact that I write professionally for a D.C. newspaper's movie section should make you at least give my opinion consideration. If you don't agree, you are probably a racist and keep a small social circle.
Seriously though, those are, hands-down, the two best performances since 2000.
The mix of wit, originality, dark humor, range, and overall skill each of these men displayed is unparalleled in modern cinema. Not since Taxi Driver have I been so enthralled with a character. Yet, both managed to execute the role flawlessly.
There have been a lot of performances to admire this decade and you can make arguments for a whole range of actors, but this is simply the opinion of a theater major, improv student, part-time actor, and less-than-stellar writer. Take it for what it's worth.
Come at me young brahs.

despite your bizarre diatribe OP, those were both some epic performances. who rounds out your top 5?
What's the symbology there?

How can you leave out Christian Bale in Hard Times? You need to rewatch that movie ASAP.

gotta agree with op. however, it doesn't take a pro to realize that both these performances were extraordinary.
Leafs, Raptors, Jays, umad?

was there something wrong with the use there? do you think anyone other than daniel day lewis could have pulled off "there will be blood"? i like to think of epic performances as "with anyone else in this role, this movie just wouldn't have been even close to as good". so who else, brah?Originally Posted by BackinControl

do you write for the Washington post? and i dont think people will disagree with you. It's pretty well accepted that those 2 performances are part of the top5 performances of the decade. But im curious op, what is your take on the top5?

There's no sensing arguing about it ... what would saying the publication prove anyway? It's not like I'm going to give out my name on a message board and post a picture of a paycheck stub.Originally Posted by FrankoColumbu
If you have ever worked as a freelance writer before, you would know that it is not that hard to get regular columns if you are persistent, hard-working, market yourself right, and above all, submit your work on time. Hell, you've got a leg up on most other writers if you can meet a deadline.
