Leo's best films! And how I met Leo!


Wow! This guy right! Leonardo DiCaprio! What a fu**ing actor, he has so much talent, charisma and energy he doesn't know what to do with it, it all literally oozes from him in every film he's ever been in. When he's on-form on-screen no-one can match his charisma, he really is a force to be reckoned with and all his hard work finally payed off with The Revenant.

In no particular order here are all the film's I love (ones with star's are my favourites):

• Titanic - Jack Dawson (1979)
* The Revenant - Hugh Glass (2015)

I had the luxury of meeting my all time favourite actor at the time when I worked in a hotel in Hampshire as he filmed part of inception at the private airport there. I couldn't believe it, as I walked in the room, there he was just sat at the fucking desk chilling, his bouncers surrounding him like a swarm. I was a porter so I was there with his fresh towels and I just dropped them!! On the floor right in-front of him!! So there's me having a meltdown right in-front of my idol like " I'm sorry Mr. Dicaprio, sorry sir, I'm so so sorry, I will go get you some fresh towels right now." He replies " No, don't be silly, I'm just an ordinary man, those towels will be just fine, I see by your reaction that you must be a fan?" There's me thinking to myself, hahaha just an ordinary man, so modest, you joker! And just a fucking fan, you have no idea! Anyway he then asked me my name, took me down to the reception area and bought me a coffee, we then had a brief chat/interview and he was such a gentlemen. Anyway morale of the story, I met Dicaprio and he was a bloody legend!

Paul Thomas Anderson Week: 'There Will Be Blood' Review!

• There Will Be Blood, 2007 • 8.2/10 • Firstly, I would like to start with Daniel Day Lewis' mesmerizing performance as the ruthless oil prospector, Daniel Plainview. The scumbag cons local landowners into selling their valuable land for pittance, and then he comes along like a "straw" and "sucks it all up," leaving him very wealthy and everyone else in his way. Paul Dano, Wow, do you really expect anything less than magic when it comes to him acting, he's a true tour de force. I wish we had preachers like Eli Sunday up at my local church. Johnny Greenwood's score is brilliant, it really gets under your skin, you then combine that with the gorgeous cinematography, smart screenplay and the brilliant acting, you then have yourself a film where even if your not paying complete attention, you will still hate the lead by the end, all the same! Yeah, I did just say that. I'm sorry peeps but it got a little boring at times (it didn't keep me hook

'Tomb Raider' Review: First Successful Game Adaptation! Kudos!

Image
• Tomb Raider, 2018 • 7.9/10 • Alicia Vikander gives Lara depth and personality much like Harrison Ford's Indiana Jones. She's vulnerable, but she's also stubborn and focused to survive on her own and has never lost hope that she'll once again see her father. The story is built on the reboot of the video game series, but takes another way after the arrival at the destination where most of the action takes place. When the story follows the video game it has weaknesses (as so many games adaptations do), but when it stands on its own, it shows glimpses of coming adventures for Lara Croft that makes you want more -- much because of Vikanders grounded performance. The script is by no means perfect, the CGI was a bit spotty in places, and yes there are a few cliches and overused story devices here and there, but overall it is an enjoyable film and our first successful game adaptation! Yesss! P.S - Dominc West was the perfect choice for Mr. Croft!

'Love, Simon' Review: What A Nice Surprise!

Image
• Love, Simon • Spoiler-Free • 8.7/10 • Well, what a surprise.... Don't get me wrong, the story of 'Love, Simon' has pretty much all been done before, just not executed as well. Bar the classic stereotypes and some cheesy moments, this film had me laughing out loud and crying even louder! Tbh when you watch a film like this, you normally expect it to try to be, too clever, too cute and too precious, but boy I have never been so far off the mark. The intelligence, depth, and charm were all legitimate and sincere here and it truly made the film into something rather special. It's funny, sweet, caring, true, real, and should pretty much be labelled a "True Story" for all its worth. The acting on all accounts was second-to-none but Josh Duhamel had the biggest tear-jerking scene going! I was sobbing like a real man! And Nick Robinson was believable and nothing short of phenomenal! Kudos! If you can get past the cheese-factor, you will definetly Love,
