Comments on: Ben Foster – Still the Greatest Actor in the Movies? http://thefilmtalk.com/blog/ben-foster-the-messenger/ Tue, 31 Jan 2012 16:22:01 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: SAMmer_rainhttp://thefilmtalk.com/blog/ben-foster-the-messenger/#comment-24267 SAMmer_rain Wed, 03 Aug 2011 13:52:01 +0000 http://www.thefilmtalk.com/?p=3907#comment-24267 Can't believe I just discovered this great actor. I've been a movie enthusiast (and so I thought) but never got the chance to notice him in movies. Well, the first film in which I saw him was in X-men: The last stand. I thought that he's just perfect for the role although it seems that he just had quite a brief exposure; still, he was able to deliver such a great acting (lab scene with the father). Then I watched The Messenger DVD a week ago and totally fell in love with his character and acting. He's just amazing. Got interested so I searched for his other films - very impressive acting in every role he plays. So much passion and I just love it when he's in the brink of crying. You could really feel him. So naturally and sincerely done. I totally love his film Bang, Bang You're Dead. Hope to watch his other (old) films soon. Can’t believe I just discovered this great actor.
