Performance of the Day

Actor: SUSAN SARANDON

Film: "Igby Goes Down"

Character: Mimi Slocumb

Year: 2002

I have longed enjoyed performances by Oscar winner Susan Sarandon, but rarely have I seen her master dark comedy like she did in "Igby Goes Down". She is outstanding as 'Mimi', a wealthy, pill-popping, mega bitch, who tries to control her rebellious son, Igby (Kieran Culkin). Sarandon is hilarious and pitch-perfect in this 2002 gem.

Performance of the Day

Actor: KIERAN CULKIN

Film: "Igby Goes Down"

Character: Igby

Year: 2002

Long in the shadow of his older brother Macaulay, Kieran seemingly came out of nowhere in 2002 with this fantastic performance. As Igby, a rebellious, sarcastic rich kid who runs away from home to live in the wilds of New York City, Culkin draws you in and keeps you highly entertained. He holds his own amid wonderful performances, specifically by Susan Sarandon and Jeff Goldblum.

Year: 1991

In the choice to go with the original or the remake, I went with the remake. The original (with Spencer Tracy and Elizabeth Taylor) was great, but nothing beats funny-man Steve Martin. Faced with giving away his only daughter on her big day, Martin tries his best to deal with the stress and mishaps that come along with planning (and paying) for a wedding.
