   Did Leonardo DiCaprio Ham-act in the FBI Story?

   • Many actors have played the infamous FBI founder over the years (once by Hoover himself, in the 1959 James Stewart movie "The FBI Story"). This time, the role goes to Leonardo DiCaprio. Unfortunately, it seems, his feelings about the movie seemed to be identical to Mr. Eastwood's, as he merely ham-acts throughout the entirety of the movie.

   Is Mr Eastwood's 'J Edgar Hoover' a good movie?

   • That is the case with Mr. Eastwood's biopic on the life of J. Edgar Hoover. The movie, "J. Edgar", is everything I did not expect from Mr. Eastwood considering the deep, thought-provocative and artistic power of his last movie "Hereafter" as well as the many films that he made beforehand. Slow, pretentious, and middling.

   Is Leo DiCaprio a good movie?

   • Leo DiCaprio is the best of the movie I have to say. Another great one by the greatest living director around. DiCaprio is perfectly cast and the whole movie shines. Why negative reviews when things said here what no one will remember or talk about ? I'm glad this isn't a puff piece that is basically an advertisement for the FBI recruitment.
