Saw "Erin Brockovitch" last night. Enormous fun, and definitive proof that Julia Roberts deserves her salary. Great Movie Star Acting. There's something that she does with her face in the first five minutes of this movie that's simply amazing. If you were on the set you couldn't have seen it. But the camera gets it. She knows what the camera gets and she delivers -- in scene after scene after scene.
Everyone has been talking about this in "Norma Rae" terms, but to me it's closer to "Marked Woman." She plays a poverty level mother of three (from two different husbands) who wears short skirts, high heels, and low cut blouses, the better to show off her Fabulous rack. More important, she does not Suffer Fools, and stalks through the action telling everyone exactly what she thinks of them.
In other words: me on a bad day.
