i gather there's a long thread on ilx right now about how Leo sucks but i don't mind him, i have to say.

i don't mind leo. he's kind of limited in his range but he's fine when appropriately cast.

I actively like him in his first three Scorsese films, even Gangs Of New York except for his scenes with Cameron Diaz

tbh even though his face did not survive his teenhood, i think he's kind of dreamy in the departed.

Complete retro at Lincoln Center. (and one can only wonder why)

a lot of these films really do not need another airing. black rain? g.i. jane? a good year? fucking robin hood?
ok, i'm going to go through these and let you know what's up:

i admit i haven't actually seen g.i. jane, maybe it's a masterpiece. so i left it off.

oh and i forgot to put gladiator under "more-than-faintly embarrassing"
someone to watch over me looks really nice but has a dreadful script, as is often the case with this guy.

i'd bump american gangster up one tier - i really dig the slavish recreation of early 70s nyc & jersey, and there's some funny/entertaining scenes
black rain is bad bad bad, im 100% convinced that he only made it so he could shoot a movie in japan. it does look incredible, to be fair
i thought robin hood was a new low in overall laziness from this guy, one of his worst ever
still need to see much vaunted kingdom of heaven director's cut

kinda intrigued by black rain but man if H4A can't rep for it...
― dayo, Tuesday, 1 May 2012 22:37 (1 year ago) Permalink
its like a slurry of every 80s cop movie cliche, with racism sprinkled on top. its basically a reskin of Red Heat right down to the ending airport scene where american cop and foreign cop have a meaningful exchange that shows how much they've come to respect each other despite cultural differences. osaka is beautifully shot in it though
funny that it came out the same year as imamura's black rain

I just watched the trailer on youtube - looks like a real dog's breakfast, loved the shots of japan tho

a good year is by far the worst of his crap films

black hawk dawn was sort of vile but not in a distinguished way

i sort of enjoyed a good year when i saw it, but i can barely remember it + couldnt defend it

every shithead broker in london says they will retire at 40 and buy a villa(ge) in provence and the film is like the wish fulfillment version of that in which they magically inherit a first class vineyard and get to schtup marion cotillard
the mixture of old school clubbable anti-frog sentiment and 'a year in provence' fancifulness is quintessentially english and terrible

heh i think thats what i found fascinating about it, im sure it would've been repulsive to me if i was english

blackhawk down is politically pretty vile but fairly engrossing as an action movie IIRC.
man, if ever two films were NOT alike...

TBQH i'd rather watch top gun again than most of RS's movies, but maybe that's just b/c i haven't seen top gun since 1986.

actually its entirely embarrassing but for some reason i kinda love it.
looking at this list i am kinda amazed this guy could bank an entire career on two, maybe three movies.
