Oh I'm sorry, Did I Break Your Conversation........Well Allow Me A Movie Thread by S&T

Nicely done, I had a feeling you would transfer the question. 

I saw her in Wall Street 2 recently.  Does she have any interest in any of Leo's upcoming stuff?  (which by the way, is ever expanding

)

Garfield...Garfield....son of a gun, I was wrong at first who I thought he was, but that's Social Network.  I was thinkin he was the douche model dude from 10 Things I Hate About You, but that guy is Andrew Keegan, not Garfield.  This Garfield kid is playing the next Spiderman.........man that's gonna be tough.  But he did VERY well for himself in Social. 

And I've always been a big Keira fan. 

Damn it, alright, I'm sold, I'll check it out, see how I like it. 


That cast of 10 Things btw, never thought those guys would have such an impact over the years.  JGL, Heath, Stiles, Union, Miller and Janney as the older folk in the film.

Agreed.  I'm not seein the problem here. 

Looks alright to me, and she's a good actress imo.  She cried a little too much in Dexter, and she doesn't have a curve to save her life, but get her in a gym *shrugs*

Just finished the last season of dexter. I thought she did a good job. She isn't an A list actress but i think she is solid.

Ah, so you shall be in attendance for that one I take it. 

His upcoming stuff is nothing short of ridiculous. 

DiCaprio is also set to star in Clint Eastwood's J. Edgar, a biopic about J. Edgar Hoover, the controversial first director of the FBI of the United States.[sup][67][/sup] He was cast in the title role in Oliver Stone's film Travis McGee, in which he is expected to play a salvage consultant who helps his clients on recover lost property, and is attached to star as a father who kidnaps and tortures the man who kidnapped his daughter in the thriller Prisoners.[sup][67][/sup] In addition, DiCaprio is said to be involved in the pre-production of Ridley Scott's projects The Wolf of Wall Street and Brave New World, Marc Forster's The Chancellor Manuscript and the biopic Sinatra, a film about Frank Sinatra to be directed by Martin Scorsese.[sup][67][/sup] In July 2010, it was announced that DiCaprio had pulled out of a Viking movie to be directed by Mel Gibson amid controversy over Gibson's rage-fueled rant tapes and domestic violence probe.[sup][68][/sup] On November 1, 2010, it was announced that DiCaprio's production company had acquired the rights to the Erik Larsen novel, The Devil in the White City.[sup][69][/sup] The novel tells the true story of Dr. H. H. Holmes, a serial killer responsible for the death of hundreds of women during the Chicago World's Fair.[sup][7[/sup] It has also been announced that DiCaprio will star in the film, playing the role of serial killer H. H. Holmes.[sup][71][/sup] He was also cast in the role of Jay Gatsby in Baz Luhrmann's upcoming adaptation of the novel The Great Gatsby.[sup][72][/sup]

On November 19, 2010, it was announced that DiCaprio will produce and star in the expected 2013 movie based on the book Legacy of Secrecy by Lamar Waldron and Thom Hartmann, examining the facts of the early 1960s combined forces of the Central Intelligence Agency and the Mafia were also conspirators initiating and executing the assassination of President John F. Kennedy.[sup][73][/sup] DiCaprio is expected to play FBI informant Jack Van Laningham. The book asserts that Mafia godfather Carlos Marcello confessed to Van Laningham to having ordered JFK's assassination while the CIA and the Mafia were conspiring together to try to assassinate the Cuba Communist Premier, Fidel Castro. After the assassination, as part of a dangerous and long-secret undercover operation, the FBI positioned Van Laningham to become a confidant to Marcello, who ruled organized crime in Louisiana and most of Texas for decades.


So we have:

J Edgar, Clint Eastwood
Travis McGee, Oliver Stone
Prisoners
The Wolf of Wall Street, Ridley Scott
Brave New World, Ridley Scott
The Chancellor Manuscript, Marc Forester
Sinatra, Martin Scorsese
Devil in the White City
The Great Gatsby, Baz Luhrmann
Legacy of Secrecy movie in 2013......


How the @#$% is that all possible? 

 My goodness.  I hope like hell he's able to do all this, but that's friggin insane.

Am I the only one who thinks that he is a terrible actor, who generally chooses terrible roles?

I've gotten in a few battles about him in General over the years. Not a fan at all.

I don't know if he goes terrible roles, he plays himself basically in everything. 

In Hitched, he's "charming" Will Smith
Bad Boys, cocky Will Smith
I Robot, cocky Will Smith
ID4, cocky Will Smith
Men in Black, cocky Will Smith

And then he does Pursuit of Happiness............and he wins me over with that role.  Seriously, that role is outside the Will Smith box, and shows me CAN do something besides be himself in some slight variation. 

Is he "great"?  No.  Is he at the very least, entertaining?  I think he is.  But, I will admit, we all sorta grew up with this kid from Fresh Prince on to movies, so maybe I give him the benefit of the doubt. 
I chalk him up a lot like Tom Cruise, I know they may not be De Niro in his prime, but for 2 hours they'll give me a movie that will keep my mind off life for a bit, ya know?
