I used to hate his guts but he's stepped up his game. I'm a believer. He gave strong performances in 21js and Magic Mike. Channing is very humble in interviews. He's not shy about talking about his limitations as an actor. Plus he's known as one of the nicest guys in the business.
The last foreign film I watched was "A Separation". It won the Best Foreign Film Oscar earlier this year. I would give it 9/10 stars. Good script and acting.
