I'm still waiting...
My mind is a raging torrent, flooded with rivulets of thought cascading into a waterfall of creative alternatives.
Stay thirsty my friends.

I like all of his movies...Bone Collector was good.  But he's the same guy in every movie!  Can't wait for American Gangster.

I liked Man on Fire.  - He finally refined the drunkard character from Courage Under Fire.  Again  you don't see Denzel Washington the actor...you see his character.  He's a professional.  I wasn't thrilled with Scott Glenn's version and was very happy to see Denzel knock it out of the park.

Glory - Outstanding character.  One of the times you don't see the actor but you see only the character.  What do you think, Snowflake?

Remember the Titans - Can't say it enough.  Watching the movie I don't see the actor...you see Herman Boone.  He's the dictator and the law.



I can say the same for Tom Hanks.  Despite him being one of my favorite actors he totally removes "himself" from the character and lets the character totally consume him.  Forrest Gump, Cast Away, Private Ryan, Green Mile, Catch Me if You Can and probably my favorite performance of his...The Terminal.

I would agree with those 3.
"Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, martini in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming "WOO HOO what a ride!"

I don't like movies with black actors as a lead.  I pretty much avoid them if I can but...

 denzel is the exception... he is a very good actor.   Eddie murphy is not really good but I can stand his movies.  cuba gooding is fine so long as he is not a lead actor.. not good enough to carry a film.

Training Day, Man on Fire, Fallen

Training Day spawned more King Kong references than the actual King Kong movies. :aok

and once you watch Fallen once... that song is stuck in your head forever.
