I am seriously at a loss as to what to write about tonight. So seeing as how this is a holiday weekend, I will make it short and just list 5 instances of good casting. Taking a character from a book or comic and finding the absolute perfect person to play them.
5. Mickey Rourke as Marv in 'Sin City'
4. Hugh Jackman as Wolverine in the 'X-Men' movies
3. Tom Cruise as Lestat in 'Interview With The Vampire'- A total surprise here but he really brought the character to life.
2. Robert Downey Jr. as Tony Stark in 'Iron Man'- How do you get somebody to play the world's greatest alcoholic superhero? Hire a former alcoholic!
1. Jackie Earl Haley as Rorschach in 'Watchmen'- The performance that makes the movie.
