SAMPLE SCORE SHEET WITH EXPLANATIONS (example only)
Actor/Actress Name: James Franco Movie Title: Pineapple Express
Part 1.
Characterization: Notable and variable range of facial posture: 1 or 0 pts (Facial Posture - the actors ability to hold his/her face in a manner that they may not normally - fully giving the impression that they are actually another person) A Character tick/habit : 1 or 0 pts Variable Walk: 1 or 0 pts Variable posture: 1 or 0 pts variable voice: 1 or 0 pts Stunt work or Special Training: 1 or 0 pts Complete Character Overhaul Effect: 1 or 0 pts Character Break: -1 or 0 Total pts possible: 7

Overall points possible: 10pts
(emotional responses per type of film will measured by the duration of each response with a stopwatch and then recorded here. For every total minute that actor delivers that film-specific emotional response a point will be earned. It is not possible to earn more than 3 points.
NOTE: This is the most scientific method eye could define for this. Keep in mind - that eye am a human and will naturally have my own variations of emotional responses that vary according to my own experiences in reference to each film. This makes the scoring subject to human emotional error. However, this is still an attempt to be fair.


Actor’s Name: Harrison Ford Movie: 42 December 26th, 2013
Part 1. Characterization:
variable facial posture: 1 pt character tic/habit : 1 pt variable walk: 1 pts variable posture: 1 pt variable voice: 1 pt stunt work or special training: 0 pt complete character overhaul effect: 1 pt character break: 0
Part 2. Film Specific Emotional Response:
Film Genre: Biography, Drama, Sports Total duration of empathy inspired by Harrison Ford’s performance: 2.56 mins
total points from Part 1. Characterization = 6 pts duration of empathy inspired from Part 2. = 2.56 mins overall score as a supporting actor in “42” = 8.56 pts
Notes: Harrison Ford’s character performance as the ambidextrous cigar-smoking baseball executive Branch Rickey was absolutely tremendous - a pleasure to mine eyes. Eyes felt very connected with his convincing performance that inspired my empathy for his role in this disturbing period piece (set in and during the mid 1940s) about the struggles of the African American male, Jackie Robinson specifically, and racial prejudice in sports, as well as other areas of the African American’s everyday life at the time. Eye love the way Harrison’s hands visible shook when he was acting angry, and the kindness and compassion, one could see in his eyes, when he connected with the character Jackie Robinson’s (played by Chadwick Boseman) many plights. Other unique attributes Harrison assigned to the character Branch Rickey were also appreciated, such as: his posture and breathing (a new variant was noted), and he seemed to blend into the time period flawlessly. Eyes consider Harrison Ford a brilliant character actor.


Name: Woody Harrelson Movie: Out of the Furnace December 27th, 2013
Part 1. Characterization:
variable facial posture: 1 pt character tic/habit : 1 pt variable walk: 1 pts variable posture: 1 pt variable voice: 1 pt stunt work or special training: 0 pt complete character overhaul effect: 1 pt character break: 0
Part 2. Film Specific Emotional Response:
Film Genre: Crime, Drama, Thriller Total duration of Surprise inspired by Woody Harrelson’s performance: 2.08 mins
total points from Part 1. Characterization = 6 pts duration of empathy inspired from Part 2. = 2.08 mins overall score as a supporting actor in “Out of the Furnace” = 8.08 pts
Notes: Out of the Furnace was a powerful dark movie set in a (current day) small town near the Appalachian Mountains where hillbillies supposedly run amuck with drugs while hosting illegal gambling operations centered around bare-knuckle boxing. The entire cast delivered. Woody Harrelson’s portrayal of Harlen DeGroat was sickening, perverse, and everything that makes an antagonist so completely unforgettable. Unfortunately, for Woody, the duration of emotional responses that eyes recorded for his character were, in total, a little low. This is because his character, while very powerfully portrayed, wasn’t actually on screen for a very long duration.
To be fair: I cut off every emotional response at 3 seconds because of the long-lasting effects of each different film-specific response and how they differ - one cannot really compare types of emotional responses.
To illustrate this idea: how does one compare utter despair with sheer joy on a scale? The only way to compare this is by the amount (the number of times that each response occurred for an individual) and the duration of each response, (between 1 and 3 seconds, with a cap). Why have a cap on the scoring for emotional duration? The cap gives the emotional response recordings some sort of normative human gauge, like an emotional registry. It helps to give each response the same measure across variant personalities. For example, we all register an emotional response for different durations. So then we say, “Ok, no more than 3 seconds for each response. When an emotional response doesn’t register for that long, or longer, then whatever registers is what is recorded. The idea is to make the response register within a small range for scoring purposes, and to try to make each type of response equal somehow.


Actor’s Name: Daniel Brühl Movie: Rush December 29th, 2013
Part 1. Characterization
variable facial posture: 1 pt character tic/habit: 0 pt variable walk: 1 pt variable posture: 1 pt variable voice: 1 pt stunt work or special training: 1 pt complete character overhaul effect: 1 pt character break: 0
Part 2. Film Specific Emotional Response
Film Genre: Action, Biography, Drama Empathy inspired by Daniel Brühl: 2.59 mins
total points from Part 1. Characterization = 6.00 pts duration of empathy inspired from Part 2. = 2.59 mins overall score for Daniel Brühl as a supporting actor in “Rush” = 8.59 pts
Notes: “Rush” is biography based on the lives of two race car drivers mostly set in 1970s. Chris Hemsworth (James Hunt) and Daniel Brühl (Niki Lauda) were very convincing archrivals. The movie was very intense and eyes almost vomited during one of the scenes because of the graphic content involving the lungs of Niki Lauda (Daniel Brühl) and a vacuum cleaner. The sets, costumes, and characterizations were all very elaborate - more than spectacular. Eyes was very happy to be so impressed by the lives of such fantastic characters, both real and on screen. Unfortunately, for Daniel Brühl, the character Niki Lauda wasn’t really the type to develop any notable habits or tics, thus eye could not give him a point for having one. Niki Lauda was as a perfectionist with a meticulous nature – these types of people don’t have notable tics because that would be seen to them as imperfect.


Actor’s Name: Matthew McConaughey
Movie: Mud Date: December 30th, 2013
Part 1. Characterization
variable facial posture: 1 pt character tic/habit: 1 pt variable walk: 1 pt variable posture: 0 pt variable voice: 1 pt stunt work or special training: 1 pt complete character overhaul effect: 0 pt character break: 0 pts
Part 2. Film Specific Emotional Response
Film Genre: Drama surprise inspired by Matthew McConaughey’s performance in “Mud” 2.34 mins
total points from Part 1 Characterization = 5.00 pts duration of surprise inspired from Part 2 = 2.34 mins overall score for Matthew McConaughey as a supporting actor in “Mud” = 7.34 pts
Notes: The very dramatic movie “Mud” was set in what looked to be current day Arkansas. Matthew McConaughey portrays the character named Mud who is out hidin’ in the woods because he killedt a man over he slutty girlfriend played by Reese Witherspoon. Mud receives help from two young boys to escape justice (both vigilante and criminal). While Matthew McConaughey is a terrific actor eyes could not score him points for a variable posture or a complete overhaul effect cause he still look quite a bit like sexxxy Matthew McConaughey walkin’ around all shirtless wit he sexxxy moobies starin’ right into mine eyes. However, eyes were very impressed by the scene, which delivered the character Ellis (played by Tye Sheridan) to the hospital, in he time of need. Matthew McConaughey has amazing coordination. Eyes do not think eyes have ever seen a man react better in a emergency response-type of situation, wit such razor-sharp speed and percision. If Matthew was not an actor he would make a very fine paramedic.


Actor’s Name: Tom Hanks Movie: “Saving Mr. Banks” Date: January 1st, 2013
Part 1. Characterization
variable facial posture: 1 pt character tic/habit: 0 pt variable walk: 1 pt variable posture: 1 pt variable voice: 1 pt stunt work or special training: 0 pt complete character overhaul effect: 1 pt character break: 0
Part 2. Film Specific Emotional Response
Film Genre: Biography, Comedy, Drama empathy inspired by Tom Hanks 1.39 mins
total points from Part 1. Characterization = 5 pts duration of empathy inspired from Tom Hanks from Part 2. = 1.39 mins overall score for Tom Hanks as a supporting actor in “Saving Mr. Banks” = 6.39 pts
Notes: “Saving Mr. Banks” was set in the early 1960s during the making of the very famous movie Mary Poppins. The story centers around the author P.L. Travers and her life’s many parallels with the book Mary Poppins; and then Walt Disney’s efforts to fulfill a promise to his daughters by having the book turned into a movie. Walt (played by Tom Hanks) and his team of writers, struggle with P.L. Travers’ to write a screenplay that she’ll approve of, so she’ll let the movie be made. The entire cast delivers. Eyes lovedt the character played by Colin Farrell. Eyes really lovedt the story as well. Unfortunately, Tom Hanks was not on screen for a very long duration and eyes could not give him a higher score for “empathy inspired” which he usually does. Eyes also did not note a character habit. As stated in an interview, Tom Hanks did not attempt to give an exact “impression” of Walt Disney himself, probably because the man is dead and eye’m sure he understands (given the context of the film) that for some things one might like to be able to approve. He seemed to wish not to disrespect Walt Disney in any fashion – which is understandable. Tom Hanks has always been a brilliant actor and he is no lesser than that in this film.


Actor’s Name: Michael Fassbender Movie: 12 Years a Slave Date: January 4th, 2014
Part 1. Characterization
variable facial posture: 1 pt character tic/habit: 1 pt variable walk: 1 pt variable posture: 1 pt variable voice: 1 pt stunt work or special training: 0 pt complete character overhaul effect: 1 pt character break: 6 pts
Part 2. Film Specific Emotional Response
Film Genre: Biography, Drama, History multifarious emotions inspired by Michael Fassbender’s character 1:18 mins
total points from Part 1. Characterization = 6.00 pts duration of empathy inspired from Part 2. = 1.18 mins overall score for Michael Fassbender as a supporting actor in “12 years a slave” = 7.18 pts
Notes: 12 years a slave was set in the United States during a time when black men was slaves. Michael Fassbender plays a plantation/slave owner whom, as by way of ‘bad luck’ (as he would see it) becomes the owner of a free black man, Solomon Northup (Chiwetel Ejiofor). Solomon was kidnapped from the Northern United States, and then sold into slavery in the Southern United States. The movie is based on a true story written by the protagonist (who in this case was also a real person) Solomon Northup. This movie ripped the tears from mine eyes and left sum scar upon my soul. Eyes forced themselves open for this, because eyes knows men have suffered worse than just havin to watch it. Eyes suggest everyone watch it, so they know. Brad Pitt plays a hero in this movie that he produced and eyes really think he did a fine job. Eyes likedt the scary-music element that was eerily reminiscent of a ship horn, and the cinematography as well. The cast was VERY convincing and this film was evera bit as dark as it should’ve been.


Actor’s Name: Jared Leto Movie: “Dallad Buyers Club” January 4th, 2014
Part 1. Characterization
variable facial posture: 1 pt character tic/habit: 1 pt variable walk: 1 pt variable posture: 1 pt variable voice: 1 pt stunt work or special training: 1 pt complete character overhaul effect: 1 pt character break: 0 pt
Part 2. Film Specific Emotional Response
Film Genre: Biography, Drama Empathy inspired by Jared Leto: 1.10 mins
total points from Part 1. Characterization = 7.00 pts duration of empathy inspired from Part 2. = 1.10 mins overall score for Jared Leto as a supporting actor in “Dallas Buyers Club” = 8.10 pts
Notes: “Dallas Buyers Club” was set in the mid 1980s. The story was based on the real lives of Ron Woodroof (Matthew McConaughey) and Rayon (Jared Leto) - two people struggling to treat the AIDS virus before a proper treatment was approved by the FDA. This a tragic biography illustrating how the United States government is not always in the right, an also how sometimes (when it comes to treating diseases) they is just wrong. The lives of Ron and Rayon were probably a little shorter than necessary because of their struggle to obtain, and then legally maintain the possession of, the fusion inhibitor known as peptide T, among other things. And, while they still died of AIDS, it should go witout sayin’ that (to generalize) people would like their lives to last as long as possible. It upsetting that Ron and Rayon were forced to struggle any more than necessary. Jared Leto played the transgendered character/person Rayon, an he was extremely good. Eyes forgot eyes was watchin’ Jared as eyes became wrapped up in Rayon’s warm personality. Jared makes a very pretty woman. Eyes gave Jared a point for “special training” cuz he learnedt to walk in high heels so convincingly well. (Anyone who’s seen a professional model take a nosedive walkin’ down a runway should agree with the scoring fo’ that.)


Actor’s Name: James Gandolfini Movie: “Enough Said” January 11th, 2014
Part 1. Characterization
variable facial posture: 1 pt character tic/habit: 1 pt variable walk: 1 pt variable posture: 1 pt variable voice: 1 pt stunt work or special training: 0 pt complete character overhaul effect: 1 pt character break: 0 pt
Part 2. Film Specific Emotional Response
Film Genre: Romance, Comedy, Drama Empathy inspired by James Gandolfini: 2.30 mins
total points from Part 1. Characterization = 6.00 pts duration of empathy inspired from Part 2. = 2.30 mins overall score for James Gandolfini as a supporting actor in “Enough Said” = 8.30 pts
Notes: “Enough Said” was set in present-day California (Santa Monica/Los Angeles area). The story revolves around a massage therapist named Eva (Julia Louis-Dreyfus). Eva is a divorcee whom struggles in her everyday life to deal with other peoples’ many humorously portrayed imperfections. Eva meets Albert (James Gandolfini) at a party and they begin dating. At the same party, in an unrelatedt instance, Eva meets Albert’s ex-wife Marianne (Catherine Keener) an pursues her as a massage-therapy client/friend. When Eva findts out that her new boyfriendt Albert is her new client/friendt Marianne’s ex-husband, the story gets complicated. While complex, the story retains a lighthearted affect as Eva takes advantage her situation to secretly gain insight into her new love Albert’s mindset from the perspective of his ex-wife Marianne. The story also has a subplot revovling around Eva’s relationship with her daughter an her other friends, one of whom is a professional psychologist. James Gandolfini was brilliant in the role of Albert. James softened his on-screen look for this part. His eyes were softer an more romantic an his voice was much gentler than that of the Tony Soprano character mine eyes had grown accustomed to. The character Albert (while imperfect) was a very sweet man, an it made mine eyes cry to think that James Gandolfini is no longer with us when eyes saw the scene wherre Albert an Eva have their first kiss. Eyes had to pause the movie. Eye respectfully set this scoring on a photo that eyes took of Michael Angelo’s Sistene Chapel inside of Vatican City (James Gandolfini was a Roman Catholic).


Actor’s Name: Jonah Hill Movie: “Wolf of Wall Street” January 11th, 2014
Part 1. Characterization
variable facial posture: 1 pt character tic/habit: 1 pt variable walk: 1 pt variable posture: 1 pt variable voice: 1 pt stunt work or special training: 1 pt complete character overhaul effect: 1 pt character break: 0 pt
Part 2. Film Specific Emotional Response
Film Genre: Crime, Biography, Comedy Surprise inspired by Jonah Hill: 2.19 mins
total points from Part 1 Characterization = 7.00 pts duration of empathy inspired from Part 2 = 2.19 mins overall score for Jonah Hill as a supporting actor in “Wolf of Wall Street” = 9.19 pts
Notes: The “Wolf of Wall Street” is based on the real life Jordan Belfort (played by Leonardo DiCaprio) an set during the 1990s. You can’t help but to like this unscrupulous character/person because the story was written by him, an the man is in love with pleasuring his senses – no doubt his ego included. He’s charming and likable, wit money an seeming class. Yet, this is a story ‘bout people witout mores, told from the point of view of someone who robs from the poor, selling them ‘penny stocks’, in the well-rewarded efforts to strike it rich. Jordan Belfort is the opposite of everything Robin Hood envisioned. Eyes lovedt the scene in which Leo talks with his mind and the Swiss banker replies wit his mind. Jonah Hill plays Donnie Azoff, Jordan Belfort’s best friend whom married his own cousin. Donnie is a seemingly fun-loving guy wit an obvious disconnect from the idea that he may have ever done anything wrong. He’s a happy new stockbroker partyin’ wit the other partiers at his firm - in the most profligate manner any eyes could ever imagine – an he is also very glamoured by the lifestyle. He seems to carry an innocent mindset as he tries to avoid his guilty conscious by diluting himself in drugs an alcohol. He’s a very loyal friendt to Jordan while being partially responsible for some of their unnecessary (as they might have seen it) troubles wit the law. Eyes lovedt Jonah’s portrayal of this character. Eyes lovedt the fake teeth he learnedt to talk wit, to prevent an on-screen lisp. Jonah brought so much gusto to so many scenes in this movie, making him a very convincing Donnie Azoff.


Actor’s Name: Bradley Cooper Movie: “American Hustle” Date: January 11th, 2014
Part 1. Characterization
variable facial posture: 1 pt character tic/habit: 0 pt variable walk: 1 pt variable posture: 1 pt variable voice: 1 pt stunt work or special training: 0 pt complete character overhaul effect: 0 pt character break: 0 pt
Part 2. Film Specific Emotional Response
Film Genre: Crime, Drama surprise inspired by Bradley Cooper: 2.26 mins
total points from Part 1. Characterization = 4 pts duration of surprise inspired from Part 2. = 2.26 mins overall score for Bradley Cooper as a supporting actor in “American Hustle” = 6.26 pts
Notes: “American Hustle” is set in New Jersey during the 1970s. It’s a story about the FBI using two con artists, Irving Rosenfeld (Christian Bale) and Sydney Prosser (Amy Adams) to help them set up a sting operation to incriminate several congressmen, an the Mayor Carmine Polito (Jeremy Renner), along wit sum other mobsters (Robert De Niro included). Bradley Cooper plays Richie DiMaso the curly-headed FBI agent an would-be love interest of Sydney Prosser. Eyes didn’t really feel a giant stretch for Bradley Cooper in this part. It was hard to see him really stretching into this character with Christian Bale, Bale’in all up in the place, wit he amazin’ transformation into the oddball character Irving. Eyes had a hard time giving Bradley a point for “variable facial posture” probably because he’s so very handsome an he didn’t seem to look much different than his normally handsome self. While eyes did see a subtle variant of facial posturing upon further research (eyes looked at many photos of Bradley to get a better idea before the scoring). When eyes talk about “facial posture” eye’m talking about the actor holding a look in his eyes an his face that is completely different than how he might normally for the duration of the film. That “facial posture” should last for a longer duration than a “facial expression”. Facial postures should be the norm for a character’s face. Facial expressions should be applied to facial postures, like makeup on a different face. So, that’s why it was hard to give a point for variable facial posture. Yet, Bradley was cast into the role of a confident an handsome man who was thus very sexxxy, as he is in a couple of other films, because he has a lot of that to give, an the casting director knew he’d deliver that - this is why this character wasn’t a complete transformation for me. Moreover, Bradley Cooper didn’t get a “overhaul” point, while his hair was spectacular. He did marginally change his accent which eye thought subtle/not cheesy/nice. Regardless of Bradley’s score being a little low, and in consideration of the criteria for this scoring, eyes think he is one whom carries great deal of charm and subtlety in his work. He delivers a excellence wit beauty an elegance, an he is a very fine actor. This character didn’t seem demanding for Bradley – and it’s possible that that may be a testament of just how good he really is, but it’s more likely he was just well chosen for the part.


Actor’s Name: Barkhad Abdi Movie: “Captain Phillips” January 18th, 2014
Part 1. Characterization
variable facial posture: 1 pt character tic/habit: 1 pt variable walk: 1 pt variable posture: 1 pt variable voice: 0 pt stunt work or special training: 1 pt complete character overhaul effect: 0 pt character break: 0 pt
Part 2. Film Specific Emotional Response
Film Genre: Drama, Biography, Adventure Multifarious emotions inspired by Barkhad Abdi: 2.08 mins
total points from Part 1. Characterization = 5.00 pts duration of surprise inspired from Part 2. = 2.08 mins overall score for Barkhad Abdi as a supporting actor in “Captain Phillips” = 7.08 pts
Notes: “Captain Phillips” was set in the Indian Ocean jus South of the coastal city of Eyl, Somalia during relatively current-day times, 2009. It a terrifyin’ and true story ‘bout an American cargo ship (the Maersk Alabama) that was hijacked by Somalian pirates. Despite the Maersk Alabama’s attempts to outrun and/or thwart the pirate attack, the crew an the ship are put into a parlous situation witout any real way to defend themselves against the armed and highly dangerous pirates. Captain Phillips (Tom Hanks) does his best to protect his crew while forming a hostage-type of relationship with his pirate-captures and their leader Muse (played by Barkhad Abdi).
Barkhad Abdi, is amazing in he role as Muse. Eyes could see he really took time to develop he character. It was very realistic an frightenin’ to watch Barkhad on-screen in that setting. Eyes very convinced by he performance.
Eyes could not give Barkhad a point for he variable voice cuz he was partially typecast because he speaks Somalian an eye’m not familiar enough in Somalian tongue to be able to know if he actually did change his tonal range or dialect for the part. Eyes did not give Barkhad a point for a compete overhaul because eyes have not seen enough of him to know whether or not it was a complete overhaul – while eyes could see he was very different than he normal self, eyes do not know enough Somalians to know jus how different he was. Eyes may lack cultural knowledge to score Barkhad fairly. However, he still look quite a bit like himself, even while his mannerism development was incredible-seeming. Eyes set Barkhad’s score on a photo eyes took wit a underwater camera because Barkhad learnedt to swim for dit movie. Dit photo from when eyes learnedt to snorkel in Puerto Vallarta, México, c. 2008.


Actor’s Name: James Franco Movie: “Spring Breakers” Date: January 18th, 2014
Part 1. Characterization
variable facial posture: 1 pt character tic/habit: 1 pt variable walk: 1 pt variable posture: 1 pt variable voice: 1 pt stunt work or special training: 1 pt complete character overhaul effect: 1 pt character break: 0 pt
Part 2. Film Specific Emotional Response
Film Genre: Sexxx, Drugs, Britney Spears! Surprise inspired by James Franco: 3.54 mins
total points from Part 1 Characterization = 7.00 pts duration of surprise inspired from Part 2 = 3.54 mins overall score for James Franco as a supporting actor in “Spring Breakers” = 10.00 pts!
Notes: “Spring Breakers” mostly takes place in current-day St. Petersburg, Florida. The story revolves around four college girls, Faith (Selena Gomez), Candy (Vanessa Hudgens), Brit (Ashley Benson), an Cotty (Rachel Korine) whom rob a diner to finance they Spring Break holiday festivities. The girls somehow maintain a innocent appeal even though they capable of the type disconnect it takes to commit armed robbery wit water guns an a giant mallet-hammer. While on the wild Spring Break party circuit the girls get arrested, an then later they is bailed out of jail by the (stranger-danger) gangster Alien, (played by James Franco). The character Faith is then scared off by Alien, an the little chickies is then down to three (muse-like love goddesses) whom fall in love wit Alien an he criminal lifestyle; which suits them jus fine as they clearly thinkin’ outside of they lunch box. James Franco plays the character Alien beautifully. James makes remarkable use of facial posture an facial expressions. His voice (accent), posture, walk, an mannerisms were thoroughly well developed. James lookedt like he had to learn to talk differently to accommodate he big gold grill, an also like he learnedt to play Britney Spears on the piano, an possibly drive a boat, an shoot a gun, while also maintainin’ a fabulous set of cornrows. Thus, he receivedt every point an then sum morre, for he shocking portrayal of the character Alien. Eyes see this movie was extremely well written by Harmony Korine. Eyes lovedt the bisexual aspects, open-mindedness, an equality represented by the characters in dit story - so well acted. Eyes foundt dit movie to be very forward, modern, an realistic. Dit score is set on a photo taken in Puerto Vallarta, México, c. 2008, because it reminiscent of the tropical an oceanic setting fo’ the beautiful movie “Spring Breakers”.
