Just watched the Joker movie this weekend. IMO, Joaquin Phoenix is one of the best actors. I also just watched the movie Her, and his acting was excellent.
I didn’t pay much attention to him for a while, because I hated the guy because of his role as Commodus in Gladiator, but I have come to realize my hate for him as a person was because of his perfection of playing that role.
I just think when I watch a movie with him in it, the character is so believable. You feel like you know the character.
After watching the movie, I pictured all the other Hollywood thespians with Oscar-driven movies coming out this year begging the studios to release them after the Oscars lol.
Gary Oldman is pretty great. Can play lots of roles. Denzel is also very good. You get both in the Book of Eli. I am not very religious, but that movie is bad a$$.
Deniro is very good. I think he was excellent in Joker.
