Dianne here. I just saw John Cusack on James Lipton’s “Inside the Actors Studio” and it reminded me of one of the best movies I have seen in a long time – Martian Child. John gives, in my opinion, an Oscar worthy performance. But then, I think he’s one of the best actors of his generation.
He makes sure the audience knows how much he cares for the Martian Child he takes into his home, as well as giving them hope that not every child gets “lost” in the foster system, that some actually find love and security.
I don’t want to tell you any more about this movie, except it also stars Joan Cusack, John’s sister, playing his over-protective sister. Go see it while it’s still in theaters. I give it a High Five.
I just wrote an entry on this because my wife and I rented it only because it had John Cusack in it and we fell in love with this movie. It was one of the best films I have seen in a long, long time.
