No Response for "A Look at Kate Beckinsale"
I’ve heard a trickle of buzz about Kate’s performance here, a late December release is always tricky if you’re not a bankable commodity like Daniel Day Lewis or Meryl Streep & for Kate should we need the buzz to build up for a few months this might come too late in the race if it’s even a worthy performance.
Secondly, Matt Dillon is doing all the heavy lifting in that scene. Can Matt Dillon be thrown in the supp. actor race? Who knows how much of the movie he’s in?
If Kate Beckinsale gets an Oscar nomination for this instead of Julianne Moore for “Blindness” there is no justice in the Academy at all. IF they nominate a dark horse then please the brilliant performance of Julianne Moore and no way Kate Beckinsale.
sakul,
Have you seen Beckinsale’s performance?
I saw Kate Beckinsale’s in the film at Toronto and let’s just say this: People who liked Rod Lurie’s The Contender will like this.
There are a few enjoyable performances (Alan Alda and Vera Farmiga are the absolute stand-outs and actually deserve more attention, Dillon is fine too), but overall it is a terribly mediocre, low-brow film masquerading as important cinema. And when it devolves into a women-in-prison soap opera, it fails miserably.
Beckinsale is serviceable, I guess, but I highly doubt she deserves to be among the final five given the stellar competition this year, especially for a film that is not great.
This is a great one to watch at home, on DVD, when nothing better is available, but don’t waste your dollars at the theater when there are so many other good things coming down the pike.
I’m looking forward to Kate Beckinsale’s performance in this movie. She’s was so awesome in Whit Stilman’s “LAST DAYS OF DISCO”.
In fact, I’d like to see Whit Stilman come up with a sequel to that movie following the relationship between Kate Beckinsale and Chloe Sevigny.
I agree with Matt’s assessment of Nothing But the Truth which I also saw in Toronto. Beckinsale is very good in the film but she becomes less sympathetic in the latter part of the movie. It’s a good, showy role for her because it’s such a competitive year, I’m not sure she’ll make the top 5. She has a good chance for the Globe Drama category though.
Though the film is flawed, I would support seeing the movie in a theater. We need to support films about issues rather than just holiday blockbusters or action driven films.
julianne moore is not worthy of a nomination for “blindness,” which, although not a bad film, is nowhere near as good as the book… in any case, haven’t see “nothing but the truth” yet, but beckinsale should be a worthy contender for “snow angels”
@ sakul
so you were still thinking the academy does justice? even after overrated, overblown and over the top Jennifer Hudson won? you really shouldn’t be surprised.
Why I love me some Kate Beckinsale, the academy has the bad habit of awarding accolades to pretty actresses ( and I use the word actress here loosely) who are “able” to shed the glamor and “ugly” it up for a role. I don’t know how something which hair stylists and make-up artists are suppose to get credit for ends up being credited to the actresses. We have seen this with Swank, theron, berry, tomei etc etc
Once again, Kate Winslet is going to get robbed and a mediocre character actress will end up getting the prize and then vanishing into oblivion after her win ( Witherspoon! where are you? in a family Holiday Movie with Vince Vaugh? now that’s how you handle a post-oscar career)
I don’t really have a comment on Kate B. performance(except she has the best hair) but Matt Dillon seems to be delivering a great preformance. He’s really a terrific actor. I remember him in a little film called ‘Over the edge’. (I’m showing my age).
Yeah, the people who say they’ve seen it and it looks like The Contender seem to be on from all the clips I’ve seen. Seems like it may be enjoyable but it doesn’t pull you.
And I’ve heard ZERO buzz for Beckinsale up until this point. Vera Farmiga is the only name from the film I hear being thrown around, an actress who I still to this day believe not only should have been nominated for “Down to the Bone” but won for it in 05.
On another note, looks like Schwimmer is still hot for girls named Rachel.
I thought she was great in Snow Angels and Laurel Canyon. She wasn’t too bad in Aviator either. My favourite movie of hers is Cold Comfort Farm, though I have to admit it’s because of Ian McKellan and the script, for the most part.
and if we want to discuss Hugh Jackman’s ripped-ness, then we might as well do the same for Matt Dillon, too. His guns are lookin’ pretty big in this clip!
alan, and why on earth should we talk about men and guns and ripped-ness? I think you are on the wrong site my friend. Perez hilton is spelled like this p-e-r-e-z h-i-l-t-o-n
@backto1960
as you might guess from his nick, Alan of Montreal is from Montreal. Montreal, where I guess anyone is allowed to talk about anything they want without being scolded or told to go elsewhere.
That’s Montreal, backto1960. m-o-n-t-r-e-a-l. If you don’t care about that, try looking up t-o-l-e-r-a-n-t.
Alan, from what I hear, Matt Dillon has been big from the time he was little. Guns and ammunition both. Somebody said Kate Beckinsale was in this clip. I’ll have to watch it again and see if I can spot her.
backto1960, when did you see The Reader and Revolutionary Road?
Back on topic, Rod Lurie might be Sidney Lumet Lite, but I’ll take that over Microwaved Instant Oliver Stone any day.
Ehhh…. she’s okay here. But Beckinsale is always just “okay” for me. She stood out in Snow Angels, but Rockwell was better there and took every scene away from her without even having to say anything.
She’s sort of boring.
Beckinsale was definitely not boring in The Aviator and I have to say that the Underworld films are a guilty pleasure of mine. (It’s hard to believe that Michael Sheen and Bill Nighy are helping Beckinsale chew up the scenery in the first one.)
Um, yeah, I kind of agree. I never noticed before, but she’s never really excited me in any of her performances, which is kind of hard to believe considering how ridiculously gorgeous she is.
yeah, I was much more impressed with Matt Dillon in that clip.
Is it just me or does Dillion look like one of those creatures on Seasame street…there’s one in particular but the name slips from my mind.
Hottie Monster.
I haven’t seen this one obviously, but Beckinsale definitely deserves awards consideration for Snow Angels. Unfortunately they don’t give Oscars to movies that made less than half a million in their entire run.
Backto1960, why do you keep talking about how you think Jennifer Hudsen is overrated? I see a similar comment from you in most of the comment sections I’ve read over the past couple days. Its getting really irritating, especially when you’re commenting on a post which is completely unrelated.
Ryan, LOL at “Hottie Monster.”
I haven’t see Doubt or Revolutionary Road but I think Kate is just as deserving as Kristin Scott Thomas or Sally Hawkins or Melissa Leo or any of the other performances who people have seen. It’s an amazing dramatic performance by an actress who most people would not expect to deliver such a performance (at least those who didn’t see Snow Angels)…she’s just as good in NBTT. The difference is Blindness was a godwaful film and Nothing But the Truth is great.. one of the more original movies coming out this season.
And seriously, if you’re basing your decision on this fairly mundane scene, maybe you should see the rest of the movie (I’ve seen it twice) before writing Kate off.
I would hardly call NBT “original” — come on! Its ripped from the newspapers, circa, like, five years ago.
Its stale.

backto1960, I was hearkening back to Sasha’s posting on Nov. 8, where she referred to Hugh Jackman as “sculpted.” And yes, just as some people here openly admire the beauty of Angelina and other ingenues, I like to point out the qualities of some of the hunkier men. In Montreal, we call this phenomenon “being gay”. So sue me.
Alan, don’t even pay attention to backto1960, especially when he himself has mentioned the looks of several actors/actresses in several separate comments. What a hypocrite.
@ Daniel
attention much?
ah hah! I finally remembered the name. Doesn’t Matt Dillion look like the cookie monster from Sesame Street? and he groped the lovely Thandie Newton in Crash…ewwwwwww.
