i wish i did not have to dislike leonardo dicaprio so much, because he is in so many otherwise-good films. i think i first saw him in the "the beach," which was terrible. then there was "what's eating gilbert grape," which i hated, but only because i cannot stand watching soft-hearted people get backed into corners. i started to watch "romeo + juliet", but had to turn it off because it was so godawful, so i am not sure whether to count that one. a buddy talked me into going to see "the aviator" at an actual theater, and let me just say that i have not seen this "buddy" since. "gangs of new york" was ok. "the departed" was pretty good, largely because i have a deep, abiding love for pretty much everyone in the cast who was not dicaprio. ("infernal affairs" was still better, though.) i went so far as to actually like "inception." finally, i watched "shutter island" and realized that leonardo dicaprio always plays a crazy person. how did i not notice this before? this new knowledge is sure to ruin every movie he is in from now on.
not counting leonardo dicaprio, shutter island was pretty ok.
