Sean Penn? A zonked out Lefty. Its just as well he's quitting Hollywood. Good riddance!

(Denny Crane: "Sometimes you can only look for answers from God and failing that... and Fox News".)

They say they're going to quit, or leave the country, but they never do.

What was Sean Penn"s last great movie, can remember any past fast times.

Schlussel needs an editor. That just rambled along like a drunk at the bar.

Sorry, I despise Penn...but thought his acting was very good in Mystic River, Sweet and Lowdown, State of Grace, 21 Grams, The Falcon and The Snowman.

[Borges]

He gives off the impression of being a naive and idealistic 20 something who'll grow out of it. Then you realize that he's in his mid 40s.

[dts32041]

Never have seen any of them, but his best acting role outside of fast times was in team America.

Which gets released on DVD Next month.

He was great in "The Falcon and the Snowman."

The idiot is an amazing actor. Sort of like a thespian Rainman, or a monkey who can work a rubic's cube. He's very good at one thing, and one thing only. Fortunately for him, that one thing pays very well.

Actually, I like "Crooks are Us" as the UN's alternate title.

This movie is guaranteed to tank big time. The plot mystified and bored super lefty Rex Reed.

Sort of like a one trick jackass.

[uncitizen]

Mystic River. Yeah yeah. I know. The message was anti-death penalty. But aside from that, Penn was excellent in it.

I won't watch Interpreter though. Didn't even know Penn was in it. All the previews i've seen just showed Nicole Kidman. Hmm.

[Paradox]

The extreme lefty "New Times" magazine (at least the south florida version) hated it, and made everyone feel stupid for even breathing Pollacks name as if here were a great or even good director.

[Borges]

Rex Reed is a complete and utter disgrace to anyone who values film and film criticism. What a fraud!

[Borges]

Are you thinking of 'Dead Man Walking' as the anti-death penalty film? I thought it was very fair and empathetic to the victim's families. R. Lee Ermey was in it!
