Re: Photography is truth. The cinema is truth twenty-four times per second: The cinema thread
[quote user="Faust"]I think DiCaprio was always a good actor - if you look at films like What's Eating Gilbert Grap and Basketball Diaries - he's amazing. Titanic was his "I-will-now-become-a-household-name" film. But it looks like he's taking the Johnny Depp route with the huge blockbusters. It's all right, I guess - but that's not where an actor's strength lies. I'd like to see him in theater. I look at these guys who are a right mix of a good actor and a pretty face (DiCaprio, Johnny Depp, Brad Pitt), and I sometimes wish they were ugly and stuck to more challenging roles :-). They do a nice mix though - just when I'm ready to give up on Pitt he'll do a Snatch or Babel. Still waiting for Depp to do something worthwhile these days...

I think Depp tried for on with The Libertine but personally I thought the movie was so terrible as to be almost unwatchable. I've heard others who absolutely adored it though, so it seems like a rather divisive film. He has The Rum Diary coming up probably in 2008 / 2008, that might be alright.
