Five Favourite Films with Greg Kinnear
Something Wild
"Great performances from a great ensemble of actors. Jonathan Demme did such a great job of making that look so real, creating an atmosphere that felt very immediate. It's a funny film, but it's scary as hell in parts. And it's a completely unpredictable movie, I think. There's no expectation, as you go into that film, what to expect or where it's going."

on Mar 17 2009 11:46 AM YES! "SOMETHING WILD" is one of my all time favorites, too! So misunderstood. Ray Liotta was such a terrifying sociopath. Brilliant! It was also the first film for DP Tak Fujimoto. Had an incredible sound track and score. . . (Reply to this) |

on Mar 17 2009 04:30 PM An excellent list, Chinatown and North by Northwest are in my top 10, from an under-rated actor. I like how he seemningly plays similar roles but from 'Little Miss Sunshine' to 'The Matador' to 'Auto-Focus' the similarity is only superficial and he takes that typical Kinnear character, The 'All-American good guy', to some dark places.

on Mar 17 2009 05:38 PM Funny, I didn't know he started as the host of Talk Soup. Pretty cool list. By the way, if no one has seen Flash of Genius yet, be sure to check it out. Bob Kearns' story is totally interesting and enthralling and Greg Kinear, as usual, does an amazing job of portraying the inventor of the intermittent wind- shield wiper. (Reply to this) |

on Mar 20 2009 07:40 AM I met Greg Kinnear at a small restaurant in Panama City. While I was hesitant to approach him, it turned out he is the nice guy you see in the movies. Very friendly and approachable. He's also a great actor who doesn't pick the easy roles. And anyone who likes the Original Willy Wonka is a friend of mine. I watch it at least once a year.

on Mar 24 2009 05:57 PM He looks so strong and healthy, this is the reason why he attracted a lot of beautiful girls on the rich matrimonial site "W e a l t h y S i n g l e . N e t. ." , this is the only site where I have seen so many beauties, it makes me feel strange. (Reply to this) |
