George Romero's Day of the Dead is underrated. I think it's much better than Dawn of the Dead and I don't understand why people at the time liked Return of the Living Dead more.

That is a great movie! You have to admire Christian Bale for losing the amount of weight he did to prepare himself for the role.

He dropped down to 110 lbs (which he wasn't asked to do) and then shortly after beefed up 80 lbs to play Batman.

Arthur (1981). I think it's one of the best comedies ever made.

I have no interest in watching the Russell Brand remake.

And now he's gained so much weight to become unrecognizable as Dick Cheney in the upcoming movie, Vice.

I know this may seem crazy, but several years ago when he was in Portland promoting The Fighter at a free advanced screening, I had a chance encounter with Christian Bale.

"You'd make a fine adult." I'm stealing that line. :lol:

Christian Bale is great at transforming himself into an entirely different person. Daniel Day-Lewis and Samuel L. Jackson are a couple of others.
