      Does Draft Day have Cameron Diaz as the owner of an NFL team and have Dennis Quaid as a Marino like NFL QB on his last legs who is abused by his wife? And better yet, is it filmed using every crappy Oliver Stone "I know film better than anyone in the history of film" technique?

        I kinda liked Draft Day. Would have been better with anyone else other than Costner, but you can say that about any of his movies.

        Except he was kinda good in Silverado. Actually seemed human.

          The Deerhunter - that was one big fat meh. I don't get how this is so highly rated. The first hour was wholly useless.
          Any Given Sunday - Awful. No redeeming qualities.
          Michael Clayton - pretty good
          War Dogs - surprisingly good and interesting
          Catch me if you can - also good
          Insomnia - Creepy but boring
          The first two: Wholly agree.
          Catch Me: I like it. Amazing how true a lot of those things were.
          The last one: I didn't think it was boring, but definitely creepy.
          Never really developed a taste for tequila. Kind of hard to understand how you make a drink out of something that sharp, inhospitable. Now, bourbon is easy to understand.

                  He was pretty good as Devil Anse in Hatfields and McCoys too. But, that wasn't a movie.

                    There are a limited number of TYPES of characters that Costner does well. Outside of that, he's reaching and it shows.

                      I like Costner...I think he makes weird movies that try to be more than they need to be sometimes but overall I enjoy more of his films than I hate.

                        The story, such as it is, has holes you could drive a semi through. For example: When everyone and his brother is trying to get out of Saigon, De Niro just waltzes back in to look for his buddy. Ridiculous.

                          No Way Out is a terrible movie so I can't tell if he was any good.

                          But nobody else could have done Bull Durham like him. He was perfect for the role. Actually, that movie was perfectly cast up and down.

                            Sure, but nothing that happens after the hunt matters. The movie should have ended there.

                              Doesn't Walkens character turn bat chit crazy as a result of the war? It's been a long time since I'd seen it, but I'm pretty sure that's a big part of the story, pertaining to the tragedy of what happens to soldiers in a brutal war like that.

                                It is. But I thought there were much better ways to show the psychological damage war causes.

                                I seem to remember liking "Born on the Fourth of July"

                                ETA: The ending just seemed like a senseless tack on.
