Donnie Brasco is the best non-Scorsese crime drama imo.

Fuhget about it! Donnie Brasco is why it pisses me off that Depp would rather play another variant of Raoul Duke/Jack Sparrow instead of something like that. Was also great seeing Pacino as the putz instead of the boss for once.

I really liked him in Murder on the Orient Express although his role was brief. The scene in the dining car with Kenneth Branagh was great. A reminder of how good he can be.

Both great actors. Branagh's "Band of Brothers" speech in Henry V is still the ultimate "run through a wall for this guy" moment in cinema for me. Helps that he had great writing on that one too heh!

Gonna give “Reptile” on Netflix a try.

Just saw The Creator. Absolutely loved it. Probably the best original sci-fi action movie i've seen since Inception.

Didn't know it was that long of a movie....will still check it out despite the review.

Martin Scorsese’s Strengths Seem Wasted in ‘Killers of the Flower Moon’

The director appears to be so in love with his own work that he can’t edit or delete a single scene.

Austin Butler annoys me. Of the crop of extremely talented actors his age — Timothee Chalamet, Paul Mescal, Charlton Heston — I just don’t care for him. He always seems like he’s trying too hard to seem cool. His pouty faces, his weird vocal affectation. He’s rapidly heading towards Spite Actor territory.

Do you really even need big money actors in a show like this? Band of Brothers didn’t really have it. Even post that show most of those guys are still maxed out as top tv role/secondary movie role type actors.

This was filmed before Elvis even came out (which Tom Hanks co-starred in). Signed on even earlier. I doubt they were big money.

I saw Barry Keoghan in the trailer for maybe one second too. Now, he’s a brilliant actor. I assume it’s a smaller supporting role. It’s really just timing: these guys became more famous in the years between signing on and release.

Funnily enough, Michael Fassbender, James McAvoy, and Tom Hardy were all in Band of Brothers in minor roles.

Charlton Heston's best role was Wayne's World 2. Who didn't love him in that?

 

[Rebels57]

Maybe..maybe not. At least the main actors are good.
