I lile Denzel for being Denzel. There's something so suave about the guy. He's perfect for these kind of roles. But if you've seen one, you've seen them all.

Though he's done more than just Denzel flicks. I liked him the most in Training Day, Remember the Titans, Inside Man, The Hurricane, Philadelphia, Glory and American Gangster. I still wanna see Malcolm X some time.

Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas is fucking sublime.
I don't know, man.

Sure, the source material is sensational but again it's the same fucking role he always plays. Him choosing to play a protagonist severely under the influence, or as we'd perceive it, is so fucking safe and easy and Johnny fucking Depp. It's like he has no perception of how to choose a role that isn't that, and when he tries he becomes a malicious piece of computer software in a steaming pile of Morgan Freeman's poo.

Fuck, can Inherent Vice just come out please. I want to sit in the cinema and have a cerebral orgasm.

Can't blame Denzel or other actors taking these roles in awful movies. He gets 20 million to sleepwalk through some shitty action movie. He did Flight a couple years back and his performance was good in American Gangster

I don't disagree that he's living off and mimicking past performances (Fear and Loathing in particular) but back then he was legitimately good. Spent a tonne of time with Hunter for the role.

I don't particulary love or hate Depp. But I do love some of the films he's been the lead in. Edward Scissorhands the most of all. But the first Pirates film was also great. I'd like to check out Ed Wood some time, heard good things about that one.

Old as fuck m8. Also that FluffyPuffs post.

Hixx I love you babe.

Penny are you there?
 
Morgan Freeman is the worst actor in the world. Has less range than a fucking cow.

Allow me to introduce you to the likes of Jack Black.

To expand, an actor that plays himself constantly is offensive, but to constantly play the same extreme caricature of yourself is fucking despicable.

...hate me...
I saw What's Eating Gilbert Grape last week. Depp was still proper interesting back then.

And it was funny seeing Leo looking that much younger than him.

Jack Black is better in Bernie than anything Morgan Freeman has ever done



Everyone knows Wiseau's a joke. People defend Freeman just for being Morgan Freeman.

Black was great in Bernie. But I don't agree Morgan Freeman is a bad actor. I think we can all see he's got his certain thing. And especially now after a long career he's just being Morgan Freeman everytime. But he's had some pretty great roles. Gone Baby Gone comes to mind. Seven, Shawshank and Glory are obvious choices.

I bought Unforgiven a while ago btw, which also features Freeman. So hopefully I can write a little something about a film with him in it soon.

But for now it's sleepy time.

He played Morgan Freeman in all of them as well. Might have been a better film, better written with a better character. He still put in the exact same performance. He just smiles a bit less in Seven. Just no range.

Randy stop listing good movies to prove these actors are good at acting. Wilbur is saying the performance is no different regardless of the role.

Jesus Christian.

Edge of Tomorrow is shit.

Wound me right up when all the nerds talked it up as like the best blockbuster they'd ever seen.

It's just a shit videogame with an irritating trope.

Rather play Call of Duty single player or something.

Edge of tomorrow was fun. Nothing special, but well made with a good Cruise performance. Central conceit is better than the actual film though.

Don't know whether to watch The Equalizer or The Guest.

The Guest was really good, well..mostly good!
A well made old-school thriller with 80s music
It was definitely better than The Equalizer. Check out The Guest, it's available on uhm Blu-ray now. Great old school thriller
The critics loved it apparently?
