Surprising moving and real from Crystal, also makes you think about how the media shapes the way we perceive public figures, as relevant then as it is today. The story of the home run chase is made even more relevant due to the steroids scandal in recent years. It was also the first time I really noticed Barry Pepper and what he brings to the many characters he has played. On that note is there an 'In Character' for him on the docket, would love seeing that one. Even though I probably know what role would top your list, HBO needs to crack out more movies like these nowadays. Behind the Candelabra is their best in years.

What a tremendous performance by both women...I remember this film during award season, and I understand why!<br /><br />And you're absolutely right to say that Angelina was born to play Gia. That's probably her best work to date.
