2011’s Biggest Stars Show Their Evil Side for the NY Times
In a brilliant end of the year nod to some of the breakthrough performances of 2011, the New York Times have teamed up with Alex Prager to release 15 videos that showcase these top actors and actresses portraying classic film villains. The series is called “Touch of Evil.” Each of the 20 – 50 second clips have a unique twist on these iconic characters in film history. Some of the films referenced will be easier to recognize while others are much more ambiguous or stem from more obscure films. Eraserhead, A Clockwork Orange, The Invisible Man, Magic, Wall Street, One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest, Bonnie and Clyde, and Repulsion are some of the films that are given a quirky homage by such actors as Brad Pitt, Rooney Mare, Ryan Gosling, Gary Oldman, and Viola Davis. The videos are not able to be embedded, so the only way to view them is by clicking the link HERE. I highly recommend doing so as some of these are quite amazing to watch. We’ll see how these stars do with the coming award season right around the corner.

Somewhere between growing up on a steady diet of Saturday morning trips to the local comic-book shop, collecting an unhealthy amount of action figures, and frequent viewings of Ray Harryhausen and Hammer Horror films, came forth a nerdy boy that was torn between journalism and the arts. In high school, Michael found himself writing a movie column for the school newspaper. Yet, he went on to get a BFA in Studio Art at Webster University. When not writing about films, you can still find him discussing classic horror, collecting action figures, and reading Batman. Clearly, not much has changed.
