...but it was overwrought. There were moments of brilliance...adding up to less than the sum of its parts.

Cold Mountain had real potential but I agree with you 100% Kidman was totally miscast. With her in the lead CM never had a chance. Didn't care for Renee Zellweger in it either, though I'm apparently in the minority there.

TMD was wonderful and I adored Rickman in it. He doesn't often get the chance to show off those kinds of skills oncreen.

There are some real career tragedies, for me. One is that guys - tinear 05:28:59 03/19/08 (0)
like Rickman, Malkovich, and Spacey don't get enough "meaty" film roles.
I'd also mention I think it's a tragedy of truly immense proportions that DeNiro, Pacino, and Nicholson have spent the past decade and a half sleep-walking through films.
Why don't these guys try and work with quality directors?
"Heat" was the last time two of our three greatest film stars/actors did good work and those weren't exactly very deep, challenging characters.
