for you, what hollywood star would turn you off from going to see a movie.

[zinfamous]

Though he did start making consistently excellent and epic role choices, starting with Catch Me If You Can. Most of his roles were excellent before that as well, but things really changed when he started collaborating with Scorsese.

yeah. Scorsese has essentially replaced DeNiro with DiCaprio.

that should tell you something.


and i don't know why people liked Shutter Island...I thought it sucked. :\

 

[Gooberlx2]

He likes last names starting with "Deh"?

and i don't know why people liked Shutter Island...I thought it sucked.

Really? I thought it was awesome. :\

Have I called you a bastard from a basket yet? :hmm: Love that movie.

It's basically Scorsese going outside of his wheelhouse to capitalize on the current mainstream trend.

It doesn't make any sense. :\

Same here, did not enjoy at all.

 

[shortylickens]

Oh, and I'd like to take this opportunity to say:
Woody Allen is the most overrated human being in the history of human beings.

 

[Ichinisan]

What is your point?

The point is, I see a lot more more reasons to avoid his recent works.

 

[Ichinisan]

Reese Witherspoon in it? No thanks...


edit: even if you dislike Will Ferrell, you shouldn't miss Stranger than Fiction. Great movie

Walk the Line was good.

 

[PatrickBateman]

Bill Pullman annoys me......almost ruins the epic Spaceballs for me
Penelope cruz annoys me as well

 

[MagickMan]

His inability to act went perfect with Ocean's 11 because of the role, that was about it.

12 Monkeys, he should have gotten an Oscar.

Bruce Willis

These were all good movies with him in it:

The Sixth Sense
Unbreakable
RED

While I do like Willis, just because the movies good doesn't mean the actor in it was any good. Example: I love "The Rock" even though Nick Cage is in it. Just because he lucked out and got in a good action movie with Connery doesn't mean he's good.

While there's no obvious "great acting" by him in The Sixth Sense, it would have been difficult for anyone to pull it off so well if the actor knows the twist ending (

Spoiler

the movie ends and credits scroll up the screen

).

 

[vi edit]

I've officially met my Seth Rogen quotta and can easily live my life never seeing another film with him in it.

 

[MagickMan]

People pan on Cage, but then there's Leaving Las Vegas, which is one of the best dramas of that decade.

Yeah, usually he sucks, but sometimes he'll surprise you.

 

[Ichinisan]

Chris Farley- Black Sheep, great
Chris Farley- Tommy Boy, classic

...

David Spade- Joe Dirt, bad

? :hmm:

You know, Chris Farley and David Spade were a duo in that "great" movie and that "classic" movie.

 

[Ichinisan]

Almost Famous? You mean the Cameron Crowe flick with Kate Hudson and Billy Krudup? what does that have to do with SNL?

I think he meant to say: "Almost Heroes"

I believe that's the one where Chris Farley died during production.

Why no mention of Beverly Hills Ninja? :sneaky:

This x 1,000

Kevin James (Mall Cop)
Matthew McConaughey
Nickolaus Cage

He obviously means "Almost Heroes," the one that was finished and released after Farley died.

 

[busydude]

The point is, I see a lot more more reasons to avoid his recent works.

My point is; given good script, he can definitely act. There are a lot more actors who can't seem to act no matter the script... like Orlando Bloom, Adam Sandler.. etc.

 

[Gooberlx2]

like Orlando Bloom, Adam Sandler.. etc.

IMO, Sandler actually does a fair job in Spanglish, Reign Over Me and Punch Drunk Love.

The great thing about that was that Willis was the perfect casting decision for that role. he had already been well-established as

Spoiler

the invincible action hero who can not die. No current audience at the time would ever expect him to be dead.

Shamalamadingdong went the other direction with his next flick, of course, and made Willis

Spoiler

invincible. uh...again

Never heard of it. I liked Farley for the most part on SNL, but never really got into him through his films. He was the annoying and less funny version of John Candy.

 

[OILFIELDTRASH]

Can't believe I'm the first to say Johnny Depp.

This is totally wrong IMO. Depp should have at least a few oscars right now. Oscar worthy performances include Edward Scissorhands, Blow, What's Eating Gilbert Grape, Benny and Joon, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas.
I could name another 10-15 films that I thoroughly enjoyed as well. Guy is a legend IMO.

 

[sactoking]

Yes, I had meant "Almost Heroes", the film with Matthew Perry set as a "race" against Lewis and Clark.

I forgot about Beverly Hills Ninja.

 

[whattaguy]

Can't believe that Keanu Reeves was only mentioned once.

He had Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventures and The Matrix. He was even bad in those.
