...from having, at the very least, a violent tantrum. The fact that his facial expressions often seem to suggest the psychotic killer rather than the mourning father does not help, nor does the fact that he appears to be in the same "vacation mode" as everybody else in the cast...
SHOULD WINNone of 'em:still outraged at the fact that The Ice Storm was so egregiously ignored. Basinger's fine, but frankly the least of the outstanding cast of L.A. Confidential. (Then again, that's what I thought about Juliette Binoche and The English Patient last year.) The other contenders suffer from sketchily written parts, with the arguable exception of Julianne Moore (Boogie Nights...
...hands the narrative reins over to his living friend Richard Doorland, who introduces Coupland's latest array of anti-heroes: a tight circle of high school seniors of the late 1970's residing in leafy Vancouver, British Columbia, (which also happens to be Coupland's place of residence).

Withfrenzied movements of calculated theatrical flair,the cast manages to eke out a even a few moreexaggerated and oversexualized actions than themultitude that the script itself provides. Inparticular, Burke, as Seargant Match, does ahilariously comical performance while describinghis efforts to recover that body part of WinstonChurchill which had been importunely stolen.Greaves and Smith are equally proficient inmilking every melodramatic funny...
