Natalie Portman's best acting to date for me was her child role in Leon (good film by the way).

Hobo with a Shotgun is quite over the top, in the vein of Evil Dead. Lots of gruesome violent scenes done in a B movie/70s style.

I also thought a very young Natalie did a good job in Leon (The Professional), agree that it's a good film all the way around.

Hobo with a Shotgun was too much for me.

Redbox has "Electra Luxx", starring Carla Gugino. This has well over a dollars worth of laughs, perhaps two dollars worth, maybe more.

Oh yeah that's a good one. It was her first role that.

Hey,
I found 'Bronson' an interesting movie (the lead actor was in 'Inception')

Aswell as 'We Own The Night' with Mark Wahlberg and Joaquin Pheonix.

Speaking of Carla Gugino, she's also good in Sin City and Watchmen. The apartment scene with Mickey Rourke in Sin City speaks for itself

Maybe not so good in Falcon Crest... lol, never knew she was in that.

Just watched the Conan films again. Arnie does like to ham it, but James Earl Jones steals it in barbarian for me.

He received the script for Star Wars: Empire Strikes Back while he was filming Conan...which is interesting i think.

In Barbarian. The girl steals it for me. She was Gorgeous. Ray.

You mean Sandhal Bergman who plays Valeria?. You're right, she is a hottie. She was also quite hot as Queen Gedren in Red Sonya.
