Shutter Island

Well, I'm just going to write this so others can read it. It's kind of a confession and I'm feel a little sick to my stomach as I type. I think Leo DiCaprio is a good actor. That's right. I THINK LEO DICAPRIO IS A GOOD ACTOR! He did a great job in Shutter Island, which I highly recommend.

Funny, I have always liked his movies, from Titanic, Catch Me If You Can, The Aviator, The Departed, What's Eating Gilbert Grape. I haven't seen a lot of them, I admit, but the ones I saw I thought were really good. And with Titanic, I really could not understand all the hoopla he received. I enjoyed the movie, and his character, but didn't picture him as a sex symbol. Thought he just happened to get the right part. But now I have to (swallow) take back my previous opinion. He may just have been a good actor all along.

So here's to you, Leonardo DiCaprio! Cheers!

I'm not a big movie watcher but I thought he did really well in Titanic and was great in What's Eating Gilbert Grape which I saw because the book was great.

Oh, and The Basketball Diaries. Oh, and This Boy's Life with DiNiro. I love DiCaprio, but I liked him better before Titanic... I like movies like Gilbert Grape and I doubt we will find him in too many like that anymore... whereas with Johnny Depp, you can always count on being entertained.

Gilbert Grape was a great flick (love Johnny Depp) but didn't realize it was a book. I think I saw This Boy's Life, too! (Also love DiNiro!)
