Mark Wahlberg
If he's acting as a Bostonian meathead he does it superbly.

Haven't seen enough of Hardy, he is the "it" actor at the minute but he didn't have to do much in the Mad Max film. I saw a movie called Locke? cant be bothered checking if that's the name but he was very good in that film in a tough role for an actor.
I think he did really well in mad max considering he had hardly any dialogue. Tough to pull off but he's been great in everything I've seen.
The drop
Warrior
Inception
Lawless
Locke
Bronson
Tinker, tailor, soldier, spy
The take
Yeah forgot the take, he was good in that. Didn't realise that was him in Bronson. You were right to have him on your list.
Matthew McConaughey in there on current form. Two i've noticed lately Oscar Isaac and Matthias Schoernaerts up there as well.
Last movie I watched was Wet Hot American Summer. Nothing special, but I did have a bit of a chuckle. One of those movies you can watch while you're doing something else. Looking forward to watching the series to compare.
Off to see Trainwreck tonight, hopefully it's half as decent as the reviews have been saying.

Totally forgot about McConaughey. I was about to put Isaac. Schoernaerts hadn't done enough for me yet but he was great in Rust and Bone.

This list plus McConaughey is pretty spot on for the best actors atm. I am quite a fan of Ryan Gosling as well but he hasn't quite hit the level of the guys above yet (probably not a popular opinion either
). I'm also a big fan of Bale.On an Aussie tangent, Edgerton and Mendelsohn have both been excellent lately.

Actually, I'd throw gosling in there. He's been in some super films (drive, idea of March, half Nelson, fracture, late and the real girl, blue valentine, place beyond the pines, notebook)
Bale would be there too (dark knight series, American hustle, the fighter, prestige, machinist, American psycho).
Edgerton prob needs a few more for me to make it there but he has the goods to do it. Jason Clarke has done well for himself too.
Be interesting to see if Chris Pratt decides to do dramas more than action.
Depp is a good actor but tends to do the same Schtick in the same kind of films so hopefully Black Mass wins me back over.
Brad Pitt should be in there too. If you look back, most of his films are highly regarded too.
I still rate denzel quite highly even though he tends to stick to straightforward kind of films these days.

I can't wait to see this.
I'm really interested to see Kurzel's treatment of the Scottish play - Snowtown was a fantastic film.

A review I read described it as "more Kurzel than Shakespeare", which is an astonishing achievement given the dialogue is as it was in the play.

"The Thing" - 2011 and then backed up with the original John Carpenter 1982 version... Good follow-on prequel...
Original - 8/10
Remake/prequel - 6/10
Special FX in both these movies are something to repetitively talk about...

The original is one of the all time greats, John Carpenter made some really awesome movies back in the day."The Thing" - 2011 and then backed up with the original John Carpenter 1982 version... Good follow-on prequel...

The sinister mood compounded by the soundtrack just creates a feeling of dread in the original that you don't get these days with thrillers. The anticipation builds you up so much and then you're on a knifes edge once the ball starts rolling...

The thing that impresses me most about Hardy is the obvious physical presence he brings to a role that just commands your attention. It doesn't matter if he's playing a volatile psychopath like in Bronson or The Take, or whether he's making phone calls in his car for 90 minutes like in Locke, when he's on screen he just brings such a charismatic intensity to his characters.
