Watching Every Jeff Goldblum Movie

Spinning Boris (2003)

Total Goldblum Rating: 9/10

Jeff Goldblum, along with Liev Schreiber and some other guy, helps Boris Yeltsin get reelected.

Goldblum presence: 9/10

He gets top billing in this Showtime Original Movie, and only rarely do we see Liev Schreiber and that other guy without him.

Goldblum hotness: 9/10

He is shirtless for approximately 40% of this movie. There is absolutely zero reason for this. And when they go into the Russian baths, Liev Schrieber and that other guy wrap multiple towels around themselves—but not Goldblum; he slings a single towel low around his hips as if to say, “Is this the smallest towel you have?”

Goldbluminess: 8/10

A fear of assassination by the Russian government affords ample opportunity for Crazy Eyes and Rapid Monologuing, and even Yeltsin’s daughter gets to sample a touch of the Sexy Flippance. Unfortunately, there are no pianos in Russia.

Man of the Year (2006)

Total Goldblum Rating: 5/10

Eeeeeevil Jeff Goldblum, corporate sleaze, tries to have Laura Linney killed when she tells Robin Williams—who is, and is not, Jon Stewart—that a glitch in EvilCo’s computer voting systems caused him to be falsely elected President.

Goldblum presence: 2/10

He’s in this movie for, possibly, three (evil) minutes total.

Goldblum hotness: 7/10

Very decent hair; very nice suits. The evilness lends a certain bad boy appeal.

Goldbluminess: 7/10

Those three minutes he’s on screen? He rapid monologues the whole time. He never stops talking. And in his scene with Laura Linney, he’s shot from below, because he’s very, very tall. Crazy “I’m Going to Have You Killed” Eyes also make an appearance.
