Think my problem was with the heroine (don't like Winona). And if I have this wonderfully enigmatic, sexy hero being absolutely mad (don't like Winona) for a heroine, she'd better be worth it, or it somehow lessens him in my eyes. (Don't like Winona). Does that make sense?<br /> Oh...did I mention that I don't like Winona? <br /> ~DreamweaverAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8664187.post-1109534980644438932005-02-27T15:09:00.000-05:002005-02-27T15:09:00.000-05:00Yes!

And I'll definitely check out Ed Norton in 25th hour (Loved him in American X).<br /><br />Dream, how could I forget Mickey Rouke in 91/2 Weeks (that slime bag. gg.) But as sick and twisted as he was, you just knew he loved the heroine (in his sick and twisted way. gg)<br /><br />While, Frank as Dracula, did make an impression on my (pre)teen self, ::drool:: at those big dark liquid eyes, Gary's portrayal had so much more to it. He was absolutely captivated, by the Winona Ryder character (you saw the vulnerability in his eyes). That's it for me, it'll be a long time before someone makes a more definitive Dracula movie. :-P<br /><br />Al was real slick in Devil's Advocate, wasn't he? Hmmm... I have to think about that one. He's not *quite* doing it for me, and I don't know why. Cause he's charming, but not vulnerable? There's a hint of vulnerability in the other men, even if it's a misleading hint. gg<br /><br />I just remembered another dark Hero, Jason Bourne. This is were I fell, hard, for Matt Damon. My usual response to him, was 'meh.' Now I see the allure. I have the first two Bourne books on the bookshelf, haven't gotten around to reading them yet, but I will as I've heard the books are better than the movies. <br /><br />And speaking of books, we're coming up with dark heroes in movies, but can you think of characters in books? Aside from Heathcliffe (read in High school), or as you pointed out, Dream, Rochester (which I haven't read).<br /><br />Thanks for the feedback guys!vanessa jayehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11059178422559443067noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8664187.post-1109532474498385112005-02-27T14:27:00.000-05:002005-02-27T14:27:00.000-05:00I was wondering about Constantine.

More thanks for the review!<br />Dark heroes...<br /> Mickey Rourke, 91/2 Weeks.<br /> Frank Langella, Dracula.<br /> Edward Rochester, Jane Eyre.<br /> Old movie, but one of the best 'villains' ever--Tyrone Power, Witness for the Prosecution!<br /> Man on Fire--yesssss.<br /> Al Pacino, Devil's Advocate.<br /><br />Whoops, didn't mean to go on & on! I love complex heroes & villains who are so good at evil you love 'em!<br /><br /> ~DreamweaverAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8664187.post-1109528306480673262005-02-27T13:18:00.000-05:002005-02-27T13:18:00.000-05:00Thanks for the review, doll!

Like you I'm sorta a character ho *g*.<br /><br />Anthony Hopkins in SOTL and Red Dragon--priceless IMO. So smooth, so suave but oh so bad, though maybe a bit more straightforward, you can't help but like him even knowing he'd eat and kill you as look at you. Another good character study is 25th Hour. I LOVE LOVE LOVEEEEEE Edward Norton. You KNOW he did wrong and you KNOW he's going to jail--there is no redemption, no midnight phone call of salvation--it's a completely character driven movie.Amie Stuarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14145328243563702260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8664187.post-1109519725284622482005-02-27T10:55:00.000-05:002005-02-27T10:55:00.000-05:00No worries, Scott.

I'm definitely getting the Constantine DVD when it comes out.<br /><br />Sash, I KNOW!! ::drool:: I've read *Stolen* and the prequels Kelly has on her site. I'm just waiting for the next book based on the werewolves.<br /><br />Kat, my heart broke for Creasy.
