Xena's Favorite Actors: Steve Buscemi
by Xena
Okay, so my life as of lately has not let me venture to the movie theater, and therefore I have not been able to to do a proper review. I know, I know... All of you avid readers are disappointed, possibly even irate with my absence.
So, I decided to do a series of lists (my other favorite thing, if you haven't noticed) highlighting some of my favorite actors and their must-see flicks.
Steve Buscemi has been in so many movies it was really hard to choose a few that were the best. I mean, I hated “Armageddon” but lets be honest, Steve Buscemi was awesome in that. Here it is, my favorite Buscemi, in no particular order.
1. The Big Lebowski (1998) ~ "Theodore Donald 'Donny' Kerabatsos"
This movie is one of the biggest Cult flicks of all time. In fact, I love it so much that I adopted the moniker “Donny” for my bowling nickname and named an annual scavenger hunt in Donny's honor. “Phone's Ringin', Dude.”
2. Ghost World (2001) ~ "Seymour"
Based on a popular comic book, starring Thora Birch and Scarlett Johanson. A couple of female outcasts play a cruel trick on a lonely man, played by Mr. Buscemi, and what ends up happening is just kind of great and weird. I have never read the comic book, but I love the movie. “I can't relate to 99% of humanity”
3. Fargo (1996) ~ "Carl Showalter"
The best of many great movies by Joel and Ethan Coen. Complete brilliance, all the way up until he gets shoved into the wood chipper. “I decided not to park there”
4. Reservoir Dogs (1992) ~ "Mr Pink"
A flick by Quentin Tarantino before it was cool to like Quentin Tarantino. A horribly botched up Jewelery heist, a police raid, and suddenly the accusations of who is the police informant start to fly. Shove in just enough violence and you have classic Tarantino. “I don't tip because society says I have to. All right, if someone deserves a tip, if they really put forth an effort, I'll give them something a little something extra. But this tipping automatically, it's for the birds. As far as I'm concerned, they're just doing their job.”
5. Air Heads (1994) ~ "Rex"
I am not saying that this was a good movie, I am just saying that it shows a little different side of Steve Buscemi. I do think that Brendan Fraser was not acting at all, that his character was just based on his real life and experience.
“That's the way it is, little bro. Do you think Tommy Lee sat around and waited for the bus? Man, he hustled. That's how come he gets to live in the Hills and pork Heather Locklear.”
