The Edge




Here we have Alec Baldwin in the tweener stage between his handsome bubble and his larger than life comedic rise to heightened stardom. Winter clothing and flannel do well to hid his growing girth, but the jowls never lie. Which is perhaps why he is so well suited to add depth to this silly bear movie with Sir Anthony Hopkins and the black guy from lost. Scroll on over to 2:15 to see some real subtle hilarity from this emerging mountain of a superstar.


If you're ever lost, don't panic. Keep your composure. But if you must question your leader's direction, wave wildly with a stick and a finger and say emphatically:
This doesnt FEEL south (or whatever direction you're trying to go), Charles.
And by God call the people around you by their full names. Charles could easily be shortened to Charlie or Chuck, but Baldwin here decides to jab at his wealthy, prestigious armor by not succumbing to familiarity. He knows he's of a lower class than Hopkins, yet Baldwin is banging the rich guy's wife and mocking his name to his face - all the while he uses Hopkins to get out alive.

But do you know what people die of in the wild? They die of shame...
