After the Majestic, I changed my opinion of Jim Carrey, that was a wonderful film.
And what about Janine Garofalo as a comedic/character actress?
Lorna
I've seen her in only a few things. She's a little too tragic for me.
IMO, self-deprecating, yes. Tragic, no. But that's me...
I don't know why, I just like Janine. I want to be her friend. She always seems so....
She reminds me of Robert Mitchum; they always seem to have the situation under control.
Okay so...I think that Brad Pitt will be around for awhile, and NOT just because he's cute---he's talented.
I wish DiCaprio would do like Pitt and take a few chances with his career, maybe an independent film or two, or something a little risky like Pitt's Twelve Monkeys character.
Speaking of taking chances, how about Johnny Depp?
I love that guy, Ed Wood is one of my favorite movies. He has taken lots of risky roles, and he is always good, even when the movie isn't.

I agree, and The Truth About Cats and Dogs is one of my favourite films.
I also agree that LD should take on more challanging roles. He was pretty good in Gangs of New York, though.
Lorna
I actually liked LD in that unheralded film, where he was on this secluded island in a commune type situation. I think he was taking chances too.
I'd forgotten about The Beach, good point.
Lorna
I can't believe I forgot that simple title. Ain't THAT a beach?
John Travolta will "stayin alive".
I know this is a bit off topic, but I was going to mention Adam Sandler (again)...and while I'm at it, those who have seen Punch Drunk Love, were you expecting more? Thought it was lovely as it was, if a little wierd, but I thought it was missing something, and wondered if I was the only one?
Lorn
Hi!
Right, it's been ages but...someone mentioned Haley Joel Osmet somewhere. Does anyone else find it wierd that he is 'growing up'? I know he has to, but still...

I didn't see anyone mention Gene Hackman yet. For a real treat, watch his performance in "The Heist".
Or anything else, for that matter. You can count on Mr. Hackman to give you a topnotch performance, in any film.
My favorite is "Get Shorty."
I read that someone said Vin Disel and I just want to know why? He was okay in Fast and the Ferrious and good in Saving Private Ryan but XXX was not okay. Tom Cruise is a good actor. Minority Report and I am sure he just might get an oscar nod for The Last Samari.
