His new film, he has that accent down pat. Always seems very convincing in his films. Is he the modern De Niro? Has not really been in a classic film that I know off LA Confidential was weak to me. Probably THe Insider is my favorite film from him.

The Insider is definitely the best indication that he could be great, but yeah, he phones it in a lot of time. It's particularly fun to see him in Virtuosity now.

I wonder who will get top billing on American Gangster. Him or Denzel. I feel denzel should but yu know Russles ego is so huge. I feel Denzel is the best actor since the prime of De Niro/Pacino and Hackman, but RUssell run him close.

Even though he's been consistently strong in a string of half-assed movies, Denzel belongs in this conversation more than Crowe.

He's the best by a good half mile.
L.A. Confidential to The Insider to Gladiator to Master and Commander. M&C is my favorite. A new classic that will rank high for me whenever we get around to ranking the films of the 00's. |

After seeing Ray, I can only assume that's a joke.

NO, actually he sucks. Probably the most overrated actor of our time.
His only good movie was and is L.A. Confidential -------------------- "Arcade Fire. They're less sincere. I buy that Vampire Weekend are Ivy League yuppies. Their music is WASP folk. Arcade Fire look as real as Civil War re-enactors and come off as aloof, arrogant drama students." --brent D.
