What are the best performances you have seen lately in video or cinema. Can be recent films or older things, just what are the good performances that stand out that you have watched recently. Here's mine

Julianne Moore - In a particularly good year for her, she turned in magnificant performances in "The End of the Affair" and most notable in "Magnolia". Downright flawless. She was amazing.

Tom Cruise - Whom I despise as an actor, had me giving him props for his performance in "Magnolia". It was amazing to see what he can do. Now I dare him to pull stupid shit like Mission Impossible 3 on us, we know what he can do.

Jennifer Tilly - In a relatively unknown hokey film called "Hide and Seek" released straight to video. She plays a psycho. I could get a lot of slack from this post, but I thought she was downright convincing and quite spooky. Its an odd movie. I loved it though. She pulled it off, and it hasnt been too long since I watched "Bound" and "Bullets Over Broadway" both of which she was amazing in.

Angelina Jolie - Watching "Girl Interrupted" again, thats all I can say. I am in love with her. This one is definately a keeper. Oscar calibur, and downright amazing. Love it. I also re-watched one of her lesser known films "Playing By Heart", and boy can she handle some comedy too. She's so versatile, and so damn sexy, its hard to ignore her.

Well those were on my mind. Your turn!

after watching a few videos tonight this is what I came up with

Ed Harris- Apollo 13 I just loved the way he took a nothing role and gave it a life. At the end I was mved to tears by the tenacity he had about getting them home safe and never giving up my favorite line of that whole movie was "excuse me sir, but I believethis is going to be our finest hour" when everone was giving up and thinking the worst he was never taking his eye off the ball

Gary Sinese- Apollo 13, Forest Gump' OF Mice and Men He has got to be one of the most underrated actors in holywood with the exception of reindeer games I don't think there is a movie he couldn't make gold

Tom Hanks- Apolo13, Forest Gump, Big Sleepless in Settle Philadelphia Is there anything this man won't try and succed with he's wonderful and deserves every sigle oscar lining his shelf

Kenneth Bragnaugh- Dead Again- Fantastic plot and he pulls of the performance of his life great diretion and script
