I watched Bobby on Saturday and was really impressed by the acting. Sharon Stone and Demi Moore gave outstanding performances, particularly Sharon Stone. I was really surprised how good they were.

I didn't know much about the movie before going to see it so it was a big surprise to see actors like Harry Belafonte and Lindsay Lohan onscreen.

Emilio Estevez did a great job with directing and writing the script. There were some really powerful scenes b/w Sharon Stone and William H. Macy who played a married couple in the movie.

Also, I liked Larry Fishburne's character as well. He plays the sage so well.....

Kudos to the actors, writers and editors of the film. The film editors should probably get an Oscar nomination. They did a great job at splicing(?) real life scenes of Robert Kennedy throughout the movie. The film's audience doesn't see Bobby Kennedy except for the back of his head and the vintage film clips of him. I liked the way they carried it off rather than allowing some ham to imitate Bobby....

Highly recommended!!!

I also saw this movie over the weekend, wasn't as good as I was hoping, but definetly still a very solid picture.

The acting is the most impressive part of this film IMO, Sharon Stone was BY AND FAR the major standout of the cast....her scenes were so powerful and so damn good, definetly the best work of her career and definetly oscar-worthy type of stuff.

Demi Moore and William H. Macy were also VERY good, but if an actor is going to get the Oscar nod from this film it will come in the form of Sharon Stone, who is undeniably good.

The writing is also pretty good in this film, it will probably get a screenplay nomination and MAYBE a directing nod. Best Picture and Best Supporting Actress are almost givens IMO.

    •   I agree. Colby did a nice job playing against TMG. They had some nice sparring/energy. I think they matched well against each other. CM/Kat looked very pretty today (and really as always) and I agree that Kat is a smart character and I appreciate that.  I am interested in seeing how he plays against Nicole/Leslie. I'm not sure what will end up happening there. Especially considering they are such strong female characters. Maybe he will have chemistry with one or both of them. I hope he has chemistry with at least a couple of people. I would have liked to have kept Maurice, but maybe things will somehow work out with Keith in the role. He really does love them especially Naomi. I think he genuinely believes in her ability as an attorney as well.  He doesn't even get mad when she questions/chastises him, because I think that he thinks that she is capable and smart. I think his love for his children, definitely provides some good depth/balance to his character.
    • Someone called Leslie "LADS" for all the names she has used LMAO 
    • @xtr I agree, Bill's love for his children levels out his character. There is something already lovable about him.
    • The new Ted comes off as older to me. His stature and appearance remind me of Vernon but without Vernon's charisma. He doesn't have the presence MJ had. Maybe KR will surprise us in the future but I'm not really invested in Ted as a character anymore. 
    • Moving closer to the summer, I hope one of the new sets we get is like a beach house with/ a pool or something outside.
    • I agree that Keith's version of Ted does come across as younger. I thought that Ted's conversation with Kat today was interesting. He painted a picture that no one including the audience has seen before. Leslie behaving like he described why he was initially drawn to her, though of course it doesn't excuse him of hurting/cheating on Nicole. I did like Ted's honesty/vulnerability in his conversation with Kat. I also continue to like Bill's relationship with Naomi. I believe he does genuinely love her and vice versa. Like she stated today he doesn't make it easy for her to love him, but she does. I would like to see them team up one day and be on the same side with something. I think that it's interesting that June doesn't know who the pictures of the two children are. I think it might be an older picture of her and Hayley together as siblings, like some people up here have already suggested. I also wonder what Ted will get Eva for her birthday. And I liked Eva giving it a little to Leslie on today's show when she brought up that people may soon suspect Leslie regarding Laura's accident. Leslie tried to spin it more like it may have been Eva's doing to Kat, but I did like Eva standing her ground and telling Leslie she wouldn't allow herself to be used so that Leslie could get closer to Ted.
    • You make some really good points here. I think Abigail Klein is quite likeable she's just been written as very wishy washy and cookie cutter.   There is nothing that makes her stand out as Patch/Kayla's daughter like you stated. Ron never seemed to have a clear idea what to do with Stephanie or who to pair her with.  I do think it's a fixable problem, but she needs to get away from Alex, IMO.
    • NuTed comes off looking and sounding like a weakling compared to both Nicole and Leslie. Smh.
