I second that.
Once again, watch The Merchant of Venice.
I second that.
seen it. not great. Pacino was okay, but then again Keanu Reeves looked good quoting Shakespeare too.
It's been one of his best performances to date.
I like John Leguizamo, too.
Pacino is sooooooooooooooooo overrated, though. He's responsible for three of the most amazing performances put on film, a couple others that are decent, but everything else he's ever done is bad enough it's almost unwatchable.
That comment implies that he still had a measure of subtlety in Scarface, which is an assertion literally saturated with pure insanity.
yeah, what I meant was that Scarface was the movie where he went so over-the-top that it should have been evident to everyone that the guy's acting motor was stuck on "overkill" and would never go back down. But people in general didn't figure this out until the "whoo ahhh!" movie.
He was surprisingly understated in Carlito's Way, which not surprisingly was probably the last good movie he made.
I think we've had this conversation before. Tommy Lee Jones went on a streak after he got nominated for an Oscar for The Fugitive where he was playing Sam Gerrard for a couple years straight. Thankfully he seems to have broken out of that. Al Pacino won an Oscar for overacting his ass off in Scent of a Woman and never looked back. I would never call his performance particularly good, but it's fun to watch. The Devil's Advocate was a piece of , but if I see it's on I always make a point to watch the last ten minutes or so. Again, horrible over acting, but you can tell he's having fun and that makes it sorta enjoyable.
it became that way whenever the "urban" society high-jacked it and MTV Cribs practically sponsored that happening.
BaD Radio fans know this one all too well.
What do you get when you take a washed-up director incapable of writing a scene that isn't infested with cliches and team him with the most over-the-top actor on the planet?
You get the "inspirational speech" from Any Given Sunday.
the Dallas Knights also had the worst uniforms in sports movie history.

what. no mention of Author! Author!?
I wish Michael Mann was writing/directing this.
pachino playing pachino(which he's been playing for the last 10 years)>most of the actors now. But from what I've read this movie will suck.
Then you're the 2nd biggest ing moron in this thread.
Not shockingly...
