Yeah, so I saw a lot of movies this weekend.

Elizabeth: The Golden Age - Mediocre, at best. Slow and dragged on. Shorten it to 2 hours and it's golden. It's not, so it fails.

Michael Clayton - Amazing. Everything about it is awesome. However, it's VERY complex and mind bending. You have to think, so be prepared. I still feel like I'm missing key details of exactly what happened. Gotta see it again.

Across the Universe - Perfect is one word that comes to mind. It just works. And, contrary to many people I bet, the movie is best viewed sober. Trust me.

Tonight I'm debating...

Blade Runner or Shooter

Haven't seen either, and I own both.

I liked the film. I typically HATE Leonardo DiGAY, but I thought he did a nice job in this film. The only other film where I liked his performance (not necessarily the film and vice versa) was Catch Me If You Can.

He did a good job on convincing me he was really the character in the movie...

His South African accent was spot on, and he learned some lines in a foreign language...He did a good job.

I actually like Leonardo DiCaprio, did you not like his performance in The Departed?

I LOVED Departed, but I thought his performance was....blah. Damon did a great job, Nicholson was brilliant, even Mark Whalburg did a decent job. But DiCaprio? Meh. Similar to what you said, I didn't buy him really being that kid. From a technical standpoint his performance was probably OK, but from an artistic standpoint, I didn't buy it.

I really liked shooter. I expected a mindless violent flick, but it did a decent job.

Sweet, I pick that one. Blade Runner will have to wait.

**KcMizzou** · 12-06-2008, 11:41 PM

I also enjoyed Shooter.

He's getting better with age. He's really a good actor. He was just caught in that teeny-bopper idol stereotype for a long time.

I just watched a DVD called The Lookout. I liked it quite a bit. It's about a kid that gets in a car accident and has some brain damage so he forgets simple tasks and routines. He ends up working as a night janitor at a bank and some dudes dupe into plotting a robbery.
The setting was Kansas City and Kansas so that was also pretty cool.

Couldn't be any worse than the upcoming Reeves movie, yes?

It's DeCaprio in his greatest, and most natural role ever; that of a goofy, autistic drool-monkey.

Two Thumbs Up!
