Also, I watched "The Aviator" yesterday, and enjoyed it well enough. Scorcese's man-crush on DiCaprio continuing. How many movies has he directed Leo DiCaprio in, now? Anyway, I kept wondering why the Ava Gardner was so leaden in the movie, and then I realized it -- Kate Beckinsale. She's just not a good actress. She's so wooden that I am constantly forgetting who she is, any time she shows up in a movie -- she has a very generic kind of beauty to her and her performance chops aren't there, so she's just a flatliner -- and for her to be playing Ava Gardner, lordy. Cate Blanchett was great as Katharine Hepburn, however -- but Blanchett is a good actress, and you could tell she was enjoying that role. The cameo with Jude Law as Errol Flynn was well-chosen.
"Look at me. I'm Ava Gardner. I'm ACTING. It says I'm Ava Gardner in the script, so there you have it." (WHAT emotion is Kate Beckinsale communicating in this still? Blankness? Vapidity?)
