GREAT PERFORMANCES

摘要

The weeks between the Golden Globes and Oscar night are filled with awards. But statues or no, these actors are winners All the stories have been told, and told the same way so often that most new films seem sequels of themselves. In this age of recycled cinema, what's new? A fresh face, with talent to match—so that seeing, say, Catalina Sandino Moreno in Maria Full of Grace is like stumbling into a great blind date. Or a familiar face matched with an appropriate role. The character that Thomas Haden Church plays in Sideways is such a perfect fit, it seems to have been waiting for him like a twin separated at birth.
