The Many Faces Of John Goodman
This week sees the premiere of Dan Trachtenberg's 10 Cloverfield Lane, the odd surprise add-on to 2008's Cloverfield. Is it a prequel, a sequel, a spin-off, an "equal"? Trying to figure that one out is actually one of the film's biggest charms.
What you probably will know going in, is that it stars John Goodman, and that he will be great is basically a given. I'll go as far as to say he is one of the best actors currently working, worldwide, with his talent impressively managing to overpower his distinctive physique. Few actors can so believably switch between jovial, menacing, kind, dangerous, vulnerable, invulnerable, and outright psychotic.
So once again I'm going to use a gallery of pictures of one of my favourite thespians to make a quiz. And again it's a big quiz with 18 pictures! Click through the images, and guess which movies or shows they're from. No competition, no prizes, just for fun, try to see how far you get without using IMDb!
And I'll post the answers next Thursday, or earlier if someone gets all of them right...
