In Reply to: Re: Inmates: your opinions on Ashley Judd. posted by CH Chang on April 18, 2001 at 00:53:04:
***I also seem to always mix her up with Charlize Theron. Don't know if it's just me.How could you? Charlize has not done any movie worth watching, leave alone payng to watch, but Ashley has made a couple of mildly acceptable ones. She was there when Al sprayed everything with empty brass (what's wrong with that man, anyway, first Scarface, then Heat - he must own major stock in some ammo company), and that movie, trash as it is, is still no "The Astronaut's Wife"...

> > > How could you? < < <It all started when a bunch of friends and I were watching "The Devil's Advocate" for the first time on HBO. Having missed the opening credits, none of us knew who the female lead was, and 1/2 thought Charlize was Ashley (me included) and 1/2 didn't. And I think from then on, none of the guys I saw the movie with could tell Ashley Judd from Charlize Theron.
Everyone else we know can, but that one experience with "The Devil's Advocate" screwed us all up. I think it was really the difficulty of trying to believe Keanu "WOAH!" Reeves was a lawyer. Our minds just couldn't handle that. The Charlize/Ashley thing is probably just a side effect.
Either way, IMO, neither of them are exceptionally good actresses and are just pretty faces.

You can always tell Ashley by her eyes - she has a problem with one opening more than another, it is easy to see on straight close shots.
As far as Keanu, I really would like to see him play an evil man. That would be a tought test. As it is now, he is so puky-good, I just can't take it.
Victor...you MUST see The Gift. It is a so-so movie, but it has Keanu as a redneck, wife-beater and he's the best thing in the movie (ok, I said it was so-so so I guess that doesn't say much, does it). But he's good. REALLY good.Doug Schneider

> > As far as Keanu, I really would like to see him play an evil man. < <He was a serial killer in last year's "The Watcher." He played the evil Don John in Branagh's "Much Ado About Nothing." And if evil robots matter, check out his double role in "Bill and Ted's Bogus Journey."
Ahh, the Classics!
P.S.--IMO, Keanu and Charlize both did their best acting in "The Devil's Advocate."
> > > And if evil robots matter, check out his double role in "Bill and Ted's Bogus Journey." < < <Yes, he took on the tough dual role of a good-guy slacker AND a bad-guy slacker. While some actors settle for playing two good twins (i.e. Jean Claude VanDamme in "Double Take"?), others, like Keanu, take on the challenge of playing their own evil twin. :-) And I use the word actor in the loosest of sense when referring to JCVD.

I think Charlize did a good job in that. As I said, I didn't buy Keanu as a lawyer, he failed to convince me he was a lawyer. IMO, Keanu plays a great slacker. I liked him in "The Matrix" as I could believe him in that role.
