Manute Bol Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 I don't have a favorite actor as they all have their moments. I like Deniro in comedy roles though. Leo is alright too but since I saw him as the retard I can't take him seriously. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheoHuxtable.. Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 I like Deniro but I think his best movies are behind him. Leo is still in his prime (looking forward to that new Scorsese flick). As gasface said a lot of his recent movies have sucked, like that one he did with Pacino & 50 Cent.

SwampFightOner Posted February 17, 2010 Author Share Posted February 17, 2010 Meet The Parents, Meet The Fockers, Anaalyze This, Analyze That, City By the Sea, The Score, and I'm sure some more I can't think of were all this last decade and all good, especially the comedy roles. However, he's always be my favorite because of the countless classics he was in before that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manute Bol Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 This is the only Deniro flick I've seen that I didn't like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NightmareOnElmStreet Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 I love Denzel, but holy shit I wish someone would kill Spike Lee Yeah, his movies are far from classics in my opinion. More like overly stereotype driven minority whine fests. Buggin' Out from Do the Right Thing is responsible for all the trouble caused in that movie. Not the Italians. Malcolm X was decent. Book was better as usual. Jungle Fever, come on. Sam Jackson was the only worthwhile part of that movie. Dude is tired. i actually didn't call his movies "classics," as in the greater sense of the word but rather suggested that "if" you were a fan of spike lee, denzel played in his most important films.... and yes. if one were a fan of spike lee, as i am, and i'm sure i don't stand alone(beyond this particular thread) his films are highly respected by a great mass of people and in a "class" of there own..so i suppose they could be considered classics actually. but i didn't say that at first dammit.

gasfacevictm Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 They don't usually list people on the cast list if the do cameos. i actually didn't call his movies "classics," as in the greater sense of the word but rather suggested that "if" you were a fan of spike lee, denzel played in his most important films.... and yes. if one were a fan of spike lee, as i am, and i'm sure i don't stand alone(beyond this particular thread) his films are highly respected by a great mass of people and in a "class" of there own..so i suppose they could be considered classics actually. but i didn't say that at first dammit. Well, without this explanation I don't know how else we would have taken it. I'm not trying to sway or belittle your opinion on Spike Lee. I just don't care for him that much. I liked 25th Hour and a few other movies but, whatever. I also don't care what masses of people think about anything having to do with movies because that's when you get bullshit awards shows like the Oscars that only award the same type of shit yearly. Subjective, subjective, subjective. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NightmareOnElmStreet Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 BUUUT it's DENIRO! and he looks like he did in taxi driver. best believe if i were on that level somebody better be puttin my name on the cast list. cameo or not. shyyt.

sheesh Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 Denzel's best acting was in Glory. Before he realized he could do the same thing in every movie and get paid... Training Day was mediocre at best to me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skeedupfromthefeetup Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 Training Day-Awesome movie. He Got Game-Good, but not because of him. Remember The Titans-kidding me? This was better when it was called Wildcats with Goldie Hawn John Q-Fuck outta here with this tripe. Inside Man-Decent, but again not because of his performance. Man On Fire-I liked this but it's a remake of a remake, so the originals get the credit. American Gangster-Training Day part 2 only he wasn't acting like a cop in this one. your wildin...john q was ill bottom line.... i dont see american gangster bein anything like training day and if man on fire was good, then its good...denzel killed that role i dont give a fuck if it was the 10th remake of it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weapon X Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 Denzel plays the Training Day (good movie) role in every fucking movie. He needs to retire. American Gangster was garbage and Book of Eli just topped Drop Dead Fred for worst movie ever made for the theatres. Elektra was way better. This better not be one of those cop movies where there tons of "look at me, i'm irish and from a cop family and i'm irish and, hey, there's an irish funeral for an irish cop and did i mention i'm irish?' off topic, but i hate how FAT, STUPID PIGS THINK THEY'RE SO GODDAMN HONOURABLE AND DESERVING OF ANY POMP WHEN THEY ARE PRETTY MUCH THE WORST HUMANITY HAS TO OFFER.

gasfacevictm Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 i dont see american gangster bein anything like training day See quotes below to understand why I thought American Gangster was the same. Denzel's best acting was in Glory. Before he realized he could do the same thing in every movie and get paid... Denzel plays the Training Day (good movie) role in every fucking movie. He needs to retire. Now if you want specifics, check out the part from Training Day where he screams "KING KONG...AIN'T GOT...SHIT ON...ME!" and the part in American Gangster where he screams "THEY TRIED TO KILL...MY...WIFE!" and try and tell me it's not the same exact fauxmotion he tries and pull off in every movie since Training Day. Strong, black robot. I forgot Spike Lee directed that, good movie...I still fuckin hate him though I forgot about Clockers, too. That was a decent Spike Lee movie even though he changed the whole fucking book around to focus on the poor drug dealing black kids instead of the cops. "Errol Barnes, I thought you were dead?" "I was. I came back." Easily my favorite character in any Spike Lee movie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dwel Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 I didnt think the movie was all that great... the only thing I really enjoyed was the acting, and thats what saved the movie (IMHO). Great acting, predictable bland story. 6/10 -->Cheadle was dope in the movie... dood gets better every movie he does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
