Phil in the Blank

Unpopular movie opinions.

Recommended Posts

Leo DiCaprio is a good actor but I don't get why people make a big deal that he hasn't won an Oscar. Plenty of really good actors have never won and Oscar. Also plenty of great actors won an Oscar only when they were much older. 

 

Yeah to be fair, Leo has never lost unfairly but worse performances have gotten Oscars in the past. If Jennifer Lawrence deserved an Oscar for SLP then Leo truly deserves an Oscar.

Leonardo Dicaprio is not a great actor. He has a fantastic screen presence and is always entertaining to watch. But a great actor he is not.

 

The only movies of his in which I enjoyed his character were Django Unchained and Catch Me If You Can (and maybe Titanic). Every other role he's the same high-strung, whiny, tortured individual. I enjoy most of his movies, but not because of him.

Let's see:

MoviesLucas had a valid reason for making Han's shot a reaction (the version where Han shot first got a PG-13 when rerated)John Carter is a solid filmScott Pilgrim vs. the World was the best movie of 2010 (though I haven't gotten around to seeing TS3 or HTTYD)

HP 4 5 and 6 were horrible missed opportunities, and rather bad filmsTASM though worse than SM2 is better than SM1Oblivion was the worst movie of 2013TVLost did not jump the shark in the last seasonDollhouse is Joss Wheden's best show

Prisoners had the best cinematography this year.

Edit: Yes, I meant last year, you ungrateful bastard.

 

The movie is also one of the many under rated movies of last year

Even if you don't think Gravity should win, that is going to far.  :mellow:

It might be because I saw it on DVD instead of in a theater... also the "for your consideration" has the unfortunate impact of making drama scenes seem very cheesy.  To be clear by not nominated I meant for visual effects it did have great cinematography.  I might have a very different opinion if I saw it in IMAX instead.

What I don't think you may realize is that Gravity is *basically* an all CGI movie.
