He is a great actor, and I really wish he would sorta step into the spotlight and just grab one of the great acting opportunities that come along. I do think its important to not lose those character roles, but I would really love for him to get a chance to really blow some people away.

The man has his moments. I think if he stopped ALWAYS picking things that are controversial and just made good films, he would be received much better. That said, I love Natural Born Killers and JFK and I liked parts of Any Given Sunday. Hes got talent hidden inside all that controversial ******** he does, whether he keeps making good films or not remains to be seen.

I think he did a pretty good job on NBK but he did get a great script from Quentin Tarantino to work with. I've never actually made it through JFK so I can't comment on that one and Any given Sunday was just solid.

Watched this twice within the last 2 weeks. God, its such a great movie. One of the best soundtracks Ive ever heard, and if you dont fall in love with Natalie Portman, you have no soul.

Everything after Natural Born Killers is not nearly as good as what's before. He just hasn't done anything good in a while, kind of like Brian De Palma or Francis Ford Coppola.

And that point proves exactly what I was saying earlier. Peter Sarsgaard is a great actor, but I really wish he would star in a movie like Garden State. It just seems like he would be great in a starring role, but to see him in one would be odd because he is always second fiddle to someone else. I do love him in Garden State though. Hes like Michael Weston, another guy I constantly tell people about who is also in Garden State. Wait till he gets a starring role, its going to be big. That kid is a good actor.

So I just watched the trailer for (Untitled).
http://www.traileraddict.com/trailer/untitled/trailer
I was intrigued. I think it could be funny, but certainly in 4 years will be a nice comedy central movie.

Caught The Bank Job on Showtime and thought it was very enjoyable. Nothing spectacular but a fun watch no less.

I'm not one for war movies, but this was excellent, IMO.

Shia LaBoeuf should be forbidden to make movies.
