Hot Sauce of the Day: Hugh Dancy on 'Adam'

Hugh Dancy, our beloved Brit, talked to BlackBook this month about the problematic side of playing a man with Asperger's Syndrome in Adam (out August 7):

“This project was rife with opportunities for me to f**k it up enormously and, by doing so, prove my own limitations. To botch the whole thing would have been calamitous.”

He has no need to worry now. As we said back in January in our Sundance Film Festival reports, Adam is an amazing movie and Hugh did a fantastic job as the star.

Hugh went on to discuss fame with some ominous words:

“As actors, we’re reliant on how we’re perceived. But one has to be careful, because that way madness lies.”

With a dream girl like Claire Danes set to become his wife in September, this talented man should have no trouble staying grounded.

Law Abiding Citizen See It or Skip It
F. Gary Gray's latest effort, Law Abiding Citizen, starring Jamie Foxx and Gerard Butler, is a knockout! Exhilirating, wry and breathcatchingly paced, it's a stellar accomplishment for everyone involved. Hell yeah you should see it!

The Boys Are Back See It or Skip It
Scott Hicks, the director of Shine, and Clive Owen teamed up for this gloriously beautiful if underwhelming project. It's not that it's bad, it's just not that memorable and with such supreme talent attached, I was hoping for and expecting a lot more.

Jennifer's Body See it or Skip it
Oh, Diablo Cody, why'd you have to do it? I love you so long...and then you made this. Megan Fox does what she always does, she looks hot. At least there's that. Sophmoric, unfunny and obsessively idiosyncratic, it's a painful movie going experience.

See It or Skip It: World's Greatest Dad
Chocolate and peanut butter. Spaghetti and meatballs. Bobcat Goldthwait and profanity. Two great tastes that taste great together. Gone is the Bobcat of the Police Academy movies and in his stead is a fantastic writer-director who's able to orchestrate the most brilliantly, hilarious vulgarity imaginable. World's Greatest Dad is a fantastic dark comedy (very dark) that features Robin Williams' best performance since Good Will Hunting. See it!
