Compliments make me blush - so I am going to hide in a corner now until that goes away. 695974@blogcritics.org Sun, 17 Feb 2008 03:40:27 EST http://blogcritics.org/archives/2008/02/15/073900.php#comment-695856 Greetings from Southern California. Loved this review and others on your website. I've added it as a musst-read "Favorites." 695856@blogcritics.org Sat, 16 Feb 2008 13:43:40 EST http://blogcritics.org/archives/2008/02/15/073900.php#comment-695672 My bad - I guess - as I missed most of those - but his career as a whole does show an above average level of sneering: Die Hard, Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves and Galaxy Quest also show these skills at work. Maybe it is not so much a mould, more a recurring performance feature. 695672@blogcritics.org Fri, 15 Feb 2008 17:30:45 EST http://blogcritics.org/archives/2008/02/15/073900.php#comment-695661 "Alan Rickman pulls off another sneering "Snape" performance with glee, though he might want to look for roles that free him from the mould he seems to be stuck in." Since Rickman began making the seven (or possibly eight) Potter movies, he has done a year on stage in Private Lives and made Love, Actually, The Search for John Gissing, Snowcake, Nobel Son, and Bottle Shock--one romance and five comedies. Sneerless. 695661@blogcritics.org Fri, 15 Feb 2008 16:51:06 EST
