Bob Hoskins
Beyond the Sea (2004)
Unleashed (2005)
The Dickensian trials of a poor shackled martial artist, but save your great expectations for the next summer action movie.
Mrs. Henderson Presents (2005)
The diminished return of the English striptease comedies...neither swanky nor funny enough to entertain, and Sherman's shallow script never earns its melodramatic turns.
Hollywoodland (2006)
In what may be the single most damaging performance in any film this year, Affleck puts on extra pounds, a fake honker, and a horrifyingly bad debonair act.
Paris je t'aime (2007)
In the generally deft new anthology film
Paris je t'aime
, short films are like streetcars.
Nixon (1995)
A convincing blend of Shakespearean tragedy and
Citizen Kane
,
Nixon
paints the thirty-seventh President of the United States as a uniquely American tragic hero...
Disney's A Christmas Carol (2009)
Call me a Scrooge, but I'll pass on this synthetic version of that most humanistic of tales.
Mona Lisa (1986)
As a study of social façades as a means of social climbing, and as a character study of Hoskins' would-be angel,
Mona Lisa
excels...
The Long Good Friday (1980)
The screw-turning plot is great fodder for Hoskins and Mirren, who expertly calibrate their stressed-out character arcs.
Made in Dagenham (2010)
While the story of these striking seat-cover seamstresses is well worth telling (and sadly still relevant, given the need for last year’s Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act), screenwriter William Ivory and director Nigel Cole...do not tell it well.
