I agree about Paltrow and Roberts, they're nowhere NEAR as good as some other actors of today's film.

I know I'm in the minority when it comes to him. As I said, I never really had a bone to pick until The Godfather Part II. I'm a major Brando fan, and I feel he did not play him the best he could. I wasn't disappointed with him in Taxi Driver or Raging Bull, but I don't really like either of those films even though I know I'm supposed to. I'm just not a fan.<br /><br />As far as Cage goes, I will hold hate for him until the day I die. He is actually the only one on this list that I haven't seen his Academy Award winning role, so I'll let that go, however I have never seen him in anything where I thought he could act. I have liked films he's been in (Kick Ass, Matchstick Men, and Adaptation), but never him and I thought he was terrible in all of them.<br /><br />Jack, I won't argue with you on Pitt or Clooney, since I'm not a big fan of either of them, but Cage is DEFINITELY not better than Depp. I understand we may disagree on this one, but later this week I'll be writing on several Depp films I think everyone will see. I will agree to try Wild at Heart, Raising Arizona, Leaving Las Vegas, and Bringing Out the Dead if you will agree to try out the Depp films I discuss in that post. I truly believe Depp is the best actor of his generation...Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07776509922921776377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2017948582185080690.post-31569659991385134902011-04-13T12:21:17.542-04:002011-04-13T12:21:17.542-04:00Well I can agree with you on Roberts, Wayne and Pa...Well I can agree with you on Roberts, Wayne and Paltrow.<br />But De Niro is my favourite actor of all time (Taxi Driver, Raging Bull, Heat etc), and Nic Cage is one of the best actors of his generation, far better than Depp, Pitt or Clooney...<br />Still I can understand how you can dislike him, many do, but I think you should see his work in Adaptation, Leaving Las Vegas (for which he won an Oscar), Brining Out The Dead, Matchstick Men, Wild At Heart, Raising Arizona and many more.<br /><br />Of course I respect your opinions, but I suppose we'll just have to disagree on this one...Jack Lhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14558083317361098572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2017948582185080690.post-78744486122383421462011-04-13T11:41:23.294-04:002011-04-13T11:41:23.294-04:00Im not a big Julia fan either, but she can act.

I haven't seen many Wayne movies so I couldn't comment but I know my older family are big fans and there all Western music and cowboy movie fans, so I think theres a link there. Paltrow is preet plain in anything I've seen her in, but I haven't seen much off her stuff. Cage I think get's alot of underdeserving hate because he picks heaps of dogy roles. But he is in some wicked movies, recently Kick-Ass and Bad Litenaut, also wicked films like Raising Arizona and Leaving Las Vegas.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02952238967506933250noreply@blogger.com
