Time for the Oscars
Brokeback Shmokemack. We just missed making this year's Acedemy Awards, but still - check out the boys latest video. This has my pick for Best Actor, Best Actor in Supporting Role, Cinematography, Directing, Costume Design, Film Editing, Short Film (Live Action), Sound Editing, and Visual Effects.
There are a few spots where Wils can't help but look at the camera, which remind me of the way Pee Wee Herman act's in Big Adventure. There's also Wils' keen sense of detail, in his first scene, you'll notice his front tooth is wrapped in gold foil.
The sword fighting action is the best I've seen since
Princess Bride ... primo deleux. Especially the way Jack traverses the living room from sofa to chair to chair to floor ... effortlessly.
Ahhh, but then there is Wils' classic ad-lib line, "I'll spare your life from my grave!". Gosh!!
But in the end, it's Wils' depiction of the classic "Dying before telling where the Gold is hidden" line, and Jack's gut wrenching portrayal of regret ... whew! This is classic stuff.
Is this their best work? They did their own re-make of King Kong with the Hayden brothers (coming soon) ...
So, you decide: Who gets "Best Actor" and who gets "Best Actor in a Supporting Role"?

Bravo, gentlemen. Brave warriors, Bravo!
Was the gold hidden in his teeth the whole time? How was Jack's neck after the slo-mo snap in half, or was that his stunt double? I like Wils looking into the camera because I feel like we are connecting on a personal level, even though it is just cinema. Outstanding work. My Oscar would have to go to the editor and sound fx folks, brilliant work!
Jack is doing OK, I'm not sure how he survived the stunt. Wils' gold tooth only lasted one scene.
