   Brando. He is Brando. Watch Half-Nelson and Blue Valentine, the guy has a spark to him that so few actors working today have.

   its the way he moves, the way he considers his words before he says them:

     Damn I need to watch Half-Nelson again. What a beautiful gem of a movie.

   I just bought it on Amazon for $5. and in this same purchase, picking up Winterbottom’s The Claim, Leigh’s All or Nothing, and Party Down… I have some catching up to do.

   Dude, BREAKER HIGH. I know the sync is off but check this out:

   He came down those stairs so often it could be considered his “classic move”.

   And for the record, that show was cheesy but good (like Degrassi but on water). And wow, looking at clips I’m reminded of the great cast. Quite a few recognizable names.

   I must admit Half-Nelson is the only Gosling film I’ve seen, but God is he fantastic in that movie. There’s so much going on in that performance.

   Watched Fracture 1st time, surprisingly good. I remember from the trailer thinking it was pretty conventional but it turns out to be very smart and lets Gosling’s character slowly develop. Also breaks with a lot of taboos in the legal drama.

     Mediocre film who’s bad points are evened out by its good ones. I remember Hopkins being pretty bad in the film and the directing left something to be desired. But yeah, Gosling is great in it – though not as great as his Half Nelson performance. 3.5/5 stars.
