to separate her from her "acting" in Cold Mountain. So I was pleasantly surprised to see her much more nuanced role here.

Your view of the movie overall also echos mine. Not a 'must see', but certainly a 'worth seeing'.

Agreed. Couldn't understand her Oscar for CM. - Harmonia 12:17:48 01/19/09 (2)
All I could see in that was her squinting and acting. Ugh. Z's was the only performance in that movie worse than Nicole Kidman's, which was for me as enjoyable as chalk squeaking on a chalkboard.

Thought she was much more relaxed, and much better, in Apaloosa. I actually enjoyed her character.

This movie had a kind of easy-going, insinuating charm for me, mainly due to the slow character build-up and the nuanced relatinoship between the main characters.

Very enjoyable, if not one for the ages. I love westerns too. This is one I'll watch again on DVD, although I won't buy it.
- So how does she get plum roles? - DWPC 13:48:37 01/19/09 (1)
  Ever since my wife made me sit through "Chicago", whenever I see the Zellweger name, I'll usually avoid the film. Seems like many agree with me. I only gave in on this one because I like westerns and they're scarce. I noticed in Netflix reviews for "Appaloosa" that Zellweger gets a lot of very negative reactions; far more than are usually seen for actors. So what's the deal? How does she get so many major roles with what seems a strongly negative public reaction?

    My father (in his 70s) thinks she is the cat's ass.
    Maybe he has been a Hollywood power broker all these years without telling me, and has been casting her in everything he can!
    
    When she asked Viggo in the movie "do you think I am pretty", I was on the edge of my seat wondering how he was gonna respond.
