Weaver is very good as Conor's severe and brittle grandmotherand Felicity Jones, who's dominating the multiplexes at the moment in the latest Star Wars vehicle, delivers a very different
kind of performance here.
Not exact matches
what they have to do is be professional about their line
of work but they can simply view it as their work and if you do nt like their
performance as employee
of the brand, you can demand change and criticise but just being disappointed with the results do nt give the fans the right to insult on such a low level like some guys on
here and in this
kind of view insulting a man who worked 20 years absolutely professionally for a club is just downright wrong, i never said you shouldnt criticise him
Is Conte really going to tolerate the
kind of mixed
performances from him that he often shows
here or will he get sat down and shuffled back on the priority list?
which is certainly not a slight on the young french national player; like him or not, Sanchez has provided some real world - class
performances for club and country in recent years... if you do this move, you need to really clean house or face some serious consequences for the foreseeable future... half measures are rarely rewarded, that's how we got
here... tear down the wall... we need to get rid
of Giroud, not because he isn't a talented player, his skill - set simply doesn't make sense if we hope to maximize the offensive potential
of a quick passing, one - touch scheme... we need to evolve, like Barcelona, who realized you needed to have clinical finishers or face a mind - numbing future
of horizontal passes and largely ineffective crosses... Barca went and got Suarez, even though they had Messi and Neymar on the roster (just imagine the possibilities — another in the litany
of Wenger «what ifs»)... we need to be as clinical in the boardroom as on the pitch... accept nothing less or move on... personally I would move on from Welbeck, Giroud and Walcott, even Ox if he isn't all in... I think the most intriguing player might be Perez, which runs counter to the thoughts in my head when he arrived late last summer... we need a deep lying DM with quick feet and long ball potential, midfielders who can counter quickly even when they are spread out and 4 or 5 players who know how to attack the lanes (
kind of a cross between Barca, Dortmund and Monaco)... this is seriously an achievable goal, one that logically should have been achieved quite a few years ago... did no one in the Arsenal organization see the financial restructuring
of the football universe... think
of the players we could have had but we weren't willing to cough up the dough only for those individuals to have their value double or triple within a 12 to 24 month period... even if just from an investment perspective these «no deals» represent a failure
of monumental proportions... only if you cared,
of course
Performance increased from game to game so I do believe it is some
kind of progression
here.
Now, those
of you who listened to the Obama state
of the union, he said,
here we are again at another
kind of Sputnik moment where science, he hopes and his administration hopes and I certainly hope, will help lift the U.S.'s
performance in science education — STEM education as they call it: Science, Technology, Engineering, Math — will help make this country stay competitive and stay involved on the world scene.
However, he is very emotionally genuine
here and might just win over those audience members who appreciate a slightly
kinder, gentler Carrey, who mercifully and judiciously tones down certain aspects
of his
performance because — let's face it — these penguins are goofy enough.
That
kind of energy wouldn't be appropriate
here, and he dials down and delivers a strong, convincing
performance.
Few actresses can convey the
kind of honesty and humanity that Zellweger does
here — it's hard to imagine the film without her dominant, thoroughly credible
performance.
As Iris, a high - strung single woman who, in the wake
of her mother's death, tries to displace grief with a frenzy
of casual sex, Samantha Morton (previously seen
here only in British TV imports) gives a
performance of astonishing power; she bursts into view with the
kind of magnetism Emily Watson brought to Breaking the Waves.
That
kind of emotional centre is key to the success
of Crowe's films, and it works beautifully
here, aided immeasurably by a wonderful
performance by then - newcomer Renee Zellweger, as well as a spot - on effort from Cruise and a deliciously over-the-top innings from Cuba Gooding Jr..
If Stealing Beauty is shot with a painterliness by Darius Khondji and possessed
of scattered nuggets
of actual wisdom, not just the
kind you get from leaning on coming -
of - age clichés (I'm especially fond
of dying writer Jeremy Irons's frantic search for what he considers one
of his finest pieces
of work («I would think that since I can't find it,» he qualifies)-RRB-, it's also rife with shallow
performances (Tyler's is particularly impenetrable, pardon the pun — the camera loves her, but she doesn't love it back), perfunctory soundtrack cues (the use
of Nina Simone is as uninspired
here as the use
of Edith Piaf is at the end
of The Dreamers), and fizzling payoffs.
It's a stupid idea, in other words, one exacerbated by the casting
of the usual suspects
of beautiful young things who
here find themselves trapped in a bad rave by some twisted games master (Lance Henriksen, in the
kind of performance you praise for his knowing how wretched the film is — let's think on that for a moment).
There are two sorts
of characters and
performances here: the
kind that fulfill the requirements
of the basic story and the
kind that flesh out this culture.
It will be a shame if she does not get some
kind of recognition for her
performance here which is even better than her role as Ree in Winter's Bone.
She gets to be a little trashy and show great range
here — the
kind of performance that earns an Oscar nomination.
**** Zachary F November 29, 2012 this movie is sooo funny Jon C November 29, 2012 a fun, crude, and hilarious comedy two girl roomates formulate a plan to make their own sex hotline in order to make ends meet hijinks and raw laughs ensue between two very different people who embrace their sexuality via telephone the
performances from both Graynor and Miller are pretty damn fun to watch the dialogue is insanely funny and gratuitous there's a very strange cameo in
here too by Nia Vardalos Justin Long adds a nice touch being the supporting gay best friend mentoring these two girls it's just very awkwardly humorous listening to these people talk in this
kind of film, there's interestingly no actual sex happening on screen, no boobs, no ass, no exposed body parts the plot mainly focuses on the bonding relationship bewteen the two leads which is a good break from the usual norm we're used to I can't help but feel though that the filmmakers didn't have anything left at the end, some
of it felt unfinished and unresolved for all those problems, «For A Good Time, Call..»
Wasn't her life in the spotlight its own
kind of performance, down to the imitable mid-Atlantic accent she willfully acquired in prep school, and which Portman — embracing the affectation — skillfully mimics
here?
The first trailer for Netflix original film Tallulah is
here, and it promises a stellar and emotional
performance from Ellen Page, Allison Janney, and Tammy Blanchard about different

However, we'll temper your enthusiasm
here — not because the STI may use some
kind of hybrid technology to boost its
performance (which could prove quite interesting), but because Subaru has a nasty habit
of toning down its concepts to something rather less appealing by the time they reach production.
With 755 horsepower the 2019 Chevrolet Corvette zr1 is the most powerful Corvette ever it's also the most technologically advanced behind me are the rolling s's at Road Atlanta and we're
here to see if we can reach to the supercar levels
of performance afforded by this thing's massive power big tires and the tall wing on the back after that we'll take to the streets to see if a car this powerful can behave itself in public this is a monster
of a car I've had some brief track opportunities moving this morning to get used to the pace
of this machine which is phenomenal we're gonna warm up as we get out to the road Atlanta and sort
of build up to the pace that this car can operate at now initially when you hop in this car you have this shrine to the engine right above you you see the line
of the hood it
kind of dominates the center
of the view you can see over it it doesn't affect visibility but it's immediately obvious and that
kind of speaks to what makes this car special it's a monster
of an engine listen to that [Music] that is tremendous tremendous acceleration and incredible power but what I finding so far my brief time
here at the Atlanta is that everything else in the car is rut has risen to match hurt me while I lay into it on the back straight look you know 150 mile - an - hour indicated we're going to ease up a little bit on it because I need to focus on talking rather than driving but like I was saying the attributes
of the rest
of the car the steering the braking capability the grip every system
of this car is riding to the same level
of the power and I think that's what makes it really impressive initially this is undoubtedly a mega mega fast car but it's one that doesn't terrify you with its
performance potential there's a level
of electronic sophistication that is unparalleled at this price point but it's hard not to get you know totally slipped away by the power
of this engine so that's why I keep coming back to it this car has an electronically controlled limited slip differential it has shocks filled with magnetically responsive fluid that can react faster to inputs and everything this car has a super sophisticated stability control system that teaches you how to drive it quick but also makes you go faster we haven't even gotten into exploring it yet because the limits
of this car are so high that frankly it takes a while to grow into it but [Music] I think what's impressive about this car is despite how fast it is it is approachable you can buy this car to track dates with it and grow with it as a driver and as an owner I think that's a really special [Music] because you will never be more talented than this car is fast ever unless you are a racing driver casually grazing under 50 miles an hour on this straight okay I'm just going to enjoy driving this now [Music][Applause][Music] this particular Corvette zr1 comes with the cars track
performance package a lot
of those changes happen underneath the sheet metal but one
of the big differences that is immediately obvious is this giant carbon fiber wing now the way this thing is mounted is actually into the structure
of the vehicle and it makes you know loading the rear hatch a bit more difficult but we're assuming that's okay if you're looking for the track
performance this thing delivers also giving you that
performance are these Michelin Pilot Sport cup tires which are basically track oriented tires that you can drive on the street but as we wake our way to the front
of the thing what really matters is what's under the hood that's right there's actually a hole in the hood
of this thing and that's because this engine is so tall it's tall because it has a larger supercharger and a bunch
of added cooling on it to help it you know keep at the right temperature the supercharger is way larger than the one on the zo six and it has a more cooling capacity and the downside is it's taller so it pops literally through the hood the cool thing is from the top you can actually see this shake when you're looking at it from you know a camera from the top
of the vehicle this all makes for 755 horsepower making this the most powerful Corvette ever now what's important about that is this not just the power but likewise everything in the car has to be built to accommodate and be able to drive to the level
of speed this thing can develop that's why you had the massive cooling so I had the aerodynamics and that's why I had the electronic sophistication inside [Applause] we had a lot
of time to take this car on the track yesterday and I've had the night to think about things Matt today two crews on the road and see how this extreme
performance machine deals with the sort
of more civil minded stuff
of street driving the track impressions remain this thing is unquestionably one
of the most capable cars you can get from a dealer these days a lot
of that's besides the point now because we're on the street we have speed limits they have the ever - present threat
of law enforcement around every corner so the question is what does this car feel like in public when you slow this car down it feels like a more powerful Corvette you don't get much tram lining from these big wheels though we as the front end doesn't want to follow grooves in the pavement it is louder it is a little firmer but it's certainly livable on a day to day basis that's surprising for a vehicle
of this capability normally these track oriented cars are so hardcore that you wouldn't want to drive them to the racetrack but let's face it you spend more time driving to the track than you do on the track and the fact that this thing works well in both disciplines is really impressive I can also dial everything back and cruise and not feel like I'm getting punished for driving a hardcore track machine that's a that's a really nice accomplishment that's something that you won't find in cars that are this fast and costs maybe double this much the engine in this car dominates the entire experience you can't miss the engine and the whole friend this car is sort
of a shrine to it the way it pops out
of the hood the way it's covered with coolers around the sides it is the experience
of this car and that does make driving this thing special and also the fact that it doesn't look half bad either in fact I think it has some
of the coolest looking wheels currently available on a new car this car as we mentioned this car has the track package the track package on this car gives you what they call competition bucket seats which are a little wide for my tastes but I'm you know not the widest person in the world this automatic transmission works well I mean there's so much torque again out
of this engine that it can be very smooth and almost imperceptible its clunky on occasion I think I'd might opt for the manual although Chevy tells me about 80 %
of its customers will go for the automatic I don't think they're gonna be disappointed and that's gonna be the faster transmission drag strip on the street - and on the racetrack man it was a little bit more satisfying to my taste though we've talked about the exhaust I have it set in the track setting let's quiet it down a little bit so you can hear the difference now I've set that separately from everything else so let's put it stealth what happened to the engine sound that's pretty that's pretty amazing man stealth is really stealth and then go back to track Wow actually a really big difference that's that's pretty great the Corvette has always been a strong value proposition and nowhere is that more evident than this zr1 giving you a nearly unbeatable track
performance per dollar now the nice thing is on the road this doesn't feel like a ragged edge track machine either you could genuinely drive it every day the compromises are few and that's what makes this car so special if you like what you see keep it tuned right

Here, Olowska created a sculpture inspired by Noguchi's and then draped it in the black cloth that was Graham's signature, a homage to the
kind of performance that the artist has been exploring in her work since the days she ran Nova Popularna, an underground bar and
performance space she opened in Berlin with Lucy McKenzie in 2003.
There are so many artists
of all
kinds — visual, film,
performance — living and working in Brooklyn that we feel almost an obligation to service them since they are our audience, they are friends
of our performers, they design our sets, and they generally hang out
here and BAM wants to ensure that all artists have a voice within the institution.
All that goes without mentioning the
performance, which honestly
kind of takes a backseat
here — everything is so good, the
performance is one
of those things you don't have to think about.
Are optimizations in 3D applications the reason for the extra
performance here, or some
kind of cheating?
