@n-o. I watched the Magnificent 7 tonight. It didn't live up to the hype. I found it a bit boring.“If God didn't want them sheared, why did he make them sheep?” taken from the original.

It's very difficult to do a remake that tops the original. I guess the use of Denzel was for box office.

I like some of his action movies. Training Day, Man On Fire, The Equalizer, to name a few.


I like those movies too although I consider "Training Day" as more of a drama. His chops as a dramatic actor are unquestionable. I was referring more to movies like this one and, "Fallen", "Virtuosity", and "Deja Vu" and wonder why an actor of his caliber even takes roles like those.

I also want to mention Lee Marvin as Liberty Valance as one of my favorite cowboys.


He's at a level in his career that says he's box office. I imagine that's what the makers of The Magnificent Seven were counting on.

Denzel's done most of it. I guess sooner or later he'll do a Shakespearean sonnet. I don't remember him doing one.


He was in "Much Ado About Nothing" back in the early 90s.

I didn't see it. How do you rate his performance? Was it true Shakespearean? e.g. Othello. Guess I'm thinking tragedy.


Much Ado is actually a rom-com. I wasn't impressed by his performance but it's difficult for first time actors to Shakespearean movies to stand out, especially alongside Kenneth Branaugh. That guy lives for that stuff and always looks totally comfortable with the dialogue.

Laurence Fishburne played Othello alongside Branaugh back in the mid-90s and I was impressed with his performance.

Never knew he was John Ritter's dad. Three generations of actors with his daughter Kristin.

The only reason I even know who Tex Ritter was is because of M*A*S*H.
