He really has a gift for subtle comedy too.It wasn't just a costume romp,so much of it is underplayed beautifully by Heath.
The only two I have yet to see now are Candy and I am not sure I am ready for Heath as a drug addict.Oh!!! that is going to hurt.
The other one is The Patriot,but have been advised it has a sad ending so probably not ready for that either.

Heath as Dan in Candy is tough to watch but it is also good because you see all his little Heath mannerisms and that is fun. BBM, Casanova, and Candy were all made within the space of one year and they are interesting to see because Heath is so Heath in all three of them, even though he is playing very different characters (if that makes sense). I'm Not There came after an 18 month break and Heath displays a different type of maturity in that--which I suspect we'll see in TDK and Imaginarium, too.

I've known Heath as an actor since he was a teen in "10 things", i liked him in the film. Of course when i heard about him playing a gay cowboy in BBM i had to watch it. I was impressed by all actors, but fell in love with Jake whom i didn't know before BBM.
When Heath was cast to play the Joker i was sceptical at first, but i really like him in the trailers i've seen so far.
I'm still so sad he is gone, though i'm more of a Jake fan girl, i tought Heath was an interesting guy and i was really looking forward to watch his future performances. :(

And then? :(
Your post just did me in again :'(.
I actually hope they'll take their time with Parnassus, that it will be a good while till it comes out. As long as we haven't seen TDK and Parnassus, there's still something new of Heath, ya know?

He is and he chooses his movies very wisely imo! :)

I agree. Casanova has been growing on me - it's an endearing, charming, and beautifully shot film. I chuckle fondly and smile at it rather than roaring with laughter. I swoon for Heath in it, and for the fabulous scenes and locations, and for the chemistry between Lena Olin and ...uhm... can't remember his name, how embarrassing. It'll return to me.
But Sienna Miller and the guy who plays her brother were miscast and detract from the film IMO, - a real pity. No chemistry, no sparkle, no kick and fun from either of them.
Thank you for the reply to my question concerning "4 Feathers". I do suppose you're right and the film was actually intended to show that our guy's reason for pulling out of the army was simply being afraid - ie. his friends and fiancee were right in thinking him a coward at the outset. Of course, I OTOH think he was very courageous and intelligent and before his time in doing that, going against the grain, taking the scorn and spite of everyone he cared for rather than going off to be killed needlessly and stupidly in a country his army had no business being in anyway, dying for some obscure and incomprehesible concept of "fatherland, glory and honour" or whatever. So evidently I got off on the wrong foot with that film and its premise from the outset, and it only got worse as the muddle intensified.
Though I'll agree, Heath looked stunning in that red uniform. :P
