Top 5 Leonardo DiCaprio Performances

This one is going to be a mighty difficult decision. Leo has so many fantastic performances in some fantastic movies, so picking a top 5 is tough. I want to make it clear that this is not the list of my favourite of his movies, its my favourite of his acting performances. 5.)  The Departed This first on this list of a team up between Leo and Martin Scorsese, and a fantastic example of the magic that comes when the two come together. Marty is obviously known for his gangster films thanks to Goodfellas for example, but the departed holds it's own in that category as well. Fantastic classic story of the spy within a highly organized organization, only this time the organizations have spies in both. Some other actors that appear in the film include  Matt   Damon ,  Jack   Nicholson ,  Mark   Whalberg ,  Martin   Sheen ,  Alex   Baldwin , and  Vera   Farmiga . It has an  8.5/10  rating on  IMDB  and is  #49  on its  Top 250 Films  list, and  92% (critics) and  94% (audience) on 

Top 5 David Fincher Films

David Fincher is one of my favourite Directors, I have yet to see a single film of his that I haven't thoroughly enjoyed. If you've never seen any of the following 5 films you should do so immediately. The first 4 are all thrillers, mostly crime, but even if you aren't into that sort of thing, they are incredibly interesting films and should definitely be seen. 5.) The Social Network  I think some people would go into this film thinking its boring, but its actually incredibly interesting. Its quite nice to know the origin of something I use every day. Compelling story, and fantastic acting. It was written by Aaron Sorkin who is always good. The Wilklevoss twins are both played by Armie Hammer, Mark Zuckerberg is played by Jesse Eisenberg, and we also see Rooney Mara, Andrew Garfield, Justin Timberlake, and Rashida Jones. It was nominated for 8 Oscars, winning 3 for Best Writing, Best Film Editing, and Best Original Score. It has a 7.8/10 rating on IMDB  and a 9

Transcendence Trailer #1

The trailer was released last month, but in all of the Christmas excitement, somehow I missed it. I feel like its been a while since I've seen Johnny Depp in something that I've really enjoyed, so I'm hoping this will break the curse. Looks really interesting, so I'll definitely be checking it out!

Veronica Mars Trailer

Veronica Mars was definitely a breath of fresh-air in a sea of fakeness in the early 2000's, and now after 9 long years, she's back in her full glory. Looks absolutely amazing and I cannot wait to see the movie! Check out the link below!
