Happy 47th Birthday Kevin Spacey

Only fitting to make a quick plug for him now that he’s starring in the new Superman movie as Lex Luthor. Even before the reviews started appearing, the phrase “chewing the scenery” easily came to mind since he is the only living big name in the movie. I haven’t seen the movie yet so I don’t have an opinion of it. No matter what, I’m sure Kevin Spacey will be enjoyable in it because he and Samuel L. Jackson made the rather rote action-drama movie The Negotiator a better film than it deserved to be. I also won’t spoil the outcome of LA Confidential if you’ve never seen it, yet I feel that was another one he was great in. Not only for his acting but his willingness to let the story (or novel it was based on) take its course without it being altered due to his star status. I only wish he did more comedy as this Star Wars gag demonstrates how he can do it well like Kevin Kline and Gary Cole.
