I admit the fact that until today I had not actually seen the movie The Untouchables.
I also admit the fact that this movie only serves to reaffirm my belief that Hollywood is crazy.
Is what Kevin Costner does in front of the camera actually considered acting? I mean, yeah, he's a nice-looking fellow. So is my Dad, but no one gave him millions of dollars to waste on a crappy movie about the world being flooded, and there being a secret map to dry land tattooed somewhere on Tina Majorino's person. In fact, I would go so far as to say that in the movie The Untouchables, he reached beyong nice-looking into the realm of yummy.
This doesn't make a good actor though.
If being a hottie made you talented, well, Keanu would definitely be winning Oscars for his work in such fine films as Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey and Much Ado About Nothing. Sure, he's shown himself to be capable in The Matrix, but I think that any man pretty and limber enough could fill the role adequately.
Andy Garcia was pretty yummy in The Untouchables, too. Much moreso than now -- he's kinda spread out in unflattering ways.
