Yeah, I think it'll be fun revisiting some of these films (either by watching them again, or just thinking about them for the first time in ten years) as not all of them hold up so well over time. To my surprise I watched "Dogma" about a month or so ago and it just fell flat. The only thing interesting about that movie was the dynamic between Affleck and Damon. Everything else was pretty bad, in retrospect.<BR/><BR/>And yes, it is interesting about John C. Reilly. I remember when I first blogged (on myspace!) about Talledega Nights. I was so happy that somebody gave Reilly a chance to show his comedic chops. You can see the seeds of hilarity in his Paul Thomas Anderson films (especially "Boogie Nights" with the whole You've Got the Touch scene in the music studio). His humor is so understated (well, not now) that it's easy to see why people didn't think of him as a great comedic actor. I'm glad he's ventured into those roles. I still think his role in "Magnolia" is his best, though. He's the center of that great film.Kevin J.

I'll have to re-watch Talented Mr Ripley myself, cant remember anything about it. I agree with your ranking of Magnolia, it still is one of my favorite films. Funny to see John C Riley in that movie and then in one of the comdedies of late (talladega, step bros, walk hard).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
