REVIEW REDEUX: Christian Bale finally gets recognition

72 HRS ONLINE

After years of snubs, Christian Bale has finally received his first Oscar nomination for his role as a crack addict and former boxer in "The Fighter." Having led the race in all of the recent awards ceremonies, it appears Bale is the front runner in this year's Best Supporting Actor race.

Bale has had a number of successes including the Batman films and "The Prestige," but his performances in some of his less popular films are what particularly stick out to me. "Empire of the Sun" and "Little Women" contain two of Bale's most unknown roles.

I suggest first watching a 12-year-old Bale make his screen debut in Steven Spielberg's 1987 film, "Empire of the Sun."
