From Hotel Rwanda to House of Lies, Don Cheadle has come a long way. Great actors come along in not so great times. And Don defines greatness.

You see Cheadle can play anyone, and he does it all too well. Moreover, he is instantly recognizable whether at the Waldorf Astoria or up in Harlem at the Cotton Club. Everybody likes Don Cheadle.

He readjusts his mirrors when the time is right. Plus, there is never a dull moment with the movie star in the driver’s seat. I’m also interested in seeing Don Cheadle take his director’s chair to the next level.

The chemistry between Don Cheadle and Kristen Bell is amazing. Maybe, I’ll write a blog about Bell pretty soon. Didn’t he bring the best out of her? Cheadle brings out the best in people because he is the best. That’s why actors enjoy working with him. They strive for greatness together.

You see he has fans all over the world. Cheadle’s starred in blockbusters and critically acclaimed films alike. It is incredible watching him perform with Robert Downey Jr in Iron Man and Captain America. What is more, he easily plays good cop/ bad cop. The Brooklyn’s Finest actor has finely tuned his instrument. Who can deny Don Cheadle’s talented abilities?

I feel Don Cheadle is elite because of his dedication. How else do you explain why House of Lies ran 5 successful seasons on Showtime? Without commitment at the top, nothing really happens.

Here’s the truth about House of Lies. The show could have gone on forever. Cheadle’s that much of an asset to any cast. Whatever the situation you put him in, he continually rises to the occasion.

Does he disappoint sometimes? Sure. I think Traitor was a blunder on his part. Still, you can’t succeed without learning from failure.

Captain America: Civil War Movie Review

The concept of merging all the superheroes into one movie is brilliant, but it could be executed better. There are some phenomenal scenes in Civil War. However, some scenes are easily forgettable.

I feel the actors are excellent. Moreover, producers should place more emphasis on Scarlett Johansson and Elizabeth Olsen. How does the writer determine who gets the best lines?

The face-offs and toe-to-toes are unbelievable. Chris Evans aka Captain America has a chance to end Iron Man, as we know him. All this occurs because a doctor wants to play games.

Chadwick Boseman makes a great appearance as Black Panther. He saves Scarlett Johansson’s ass (which is for the good of humanity). Everything happens too fast. That’s my biggest critique.

Slow it down a little and let the audience’s eyes focus on the target. Anthony Mackie livened it up as always. Plus, Jeremy Renner shined.

Who am I forgetting? Oh yeah, that guy Robert Downey Jr. The number 1 movie star does not disappoint as Iron Man. He has swagger.

Civil War is like seeing 10 Marvel movies at the same time. Also, Spider-Man appears in this edition of Captain America.

I believe the directors held back and they could have delivered more content. Maybe, they’re saving up for next time, which is an acceptable strategy. Did you see Avengers: Age Of Ultron? How does it compare to this?

Can you imagine them filming on the beach? Location. Location. Location. I like how the great white letters showcased the locations. Details can make or break a film of high caliber.

Also, remember to stay during the closing credits because there’s an extra scene packed in. You can’t complain about the ending. All loose ends get tied together.

Overall, I give the movie a C+. Although it had a lot of style, it had just a little bit of substance. It was definitely entertaining though.

What are your favorite Robert Downey Jr. movies? Do you like Sherlock Holmes, Iron Man, and The Avengers? Without question, Robert Downey Jr.’s filmography is legendary. It’s easy to see why The Soloist movie star is number 1 on the Forbes highest paid actors list.

How many times has he scored big at the box office? The numbers show that his movies have collected more than $7.2 billion in revenue. Clearly, he is a bankable movie star plus a prominent actor. Like Drew Barrymore, Downey inherited his calling. The Hollywood heir reminds us of a Tudor because of his noteworthy performance in Richard III and his regal appearance in real life.

Crown him King of Hollywood or make him Lord of Tinseltown. Downey deserves his accolades because of his dedication to his craft. It’s rare to see stars with longevity in the movie industry. Most actors must return to theatre or their other option is TV.

Isn’t it amazing watching a master create a work of art? Can you imagine Downey, Jr. directing movies like his father? If Keanu Reeves is unstoppable, then Robert Downey Jr. is unbelievable.

Chaucer wrote, “Nothing ventured, nothing gained.” That’s why everyone respects this incredible thespian’s versatility. For example, he played the leading role in Due Date and The Judge. With a net worth in excess of $180 million, the celebrity can afford to take risks.

His lifestyle is comparable to the Canterbury Tales. It’s interesting and a must-read. Robert Downey Jr. = A classic actor- would you agree?

We recognize the best because none of us want to settle for less. We have always lived in a competitive world. Robert Downey Jr. is a fierce competitor. He skated to the top by constantly improving his repertoire. To be the best means to keep getting better.

Samuel L. Jackson Vs. Laurence Fishburne

Is Samuel L. Jackson overrated? Is Laurence Fishburne underrated? In this article, I will underline their similarities and differences.

First, I don’t believe Jackson is overrated. You can’t deny that he is dependable. There’s a reason the actor ranks #1 at the box office all time grossing over $11 billion.

Samuel L. Jackson aka Nick Fury is The Negotiator too. Did you know the actor is an avid golfer? Give Jackson credit for his people skills. Plus, actors enjoy working with him.

Do you ever wonder what’s in Samuel L. Jackson’s wallet? According to the Richest, the celebrity’s net worth is $170 million. What is more, the hard worker earns every penny.

Now, Laurence Fishburne is underrated. We’re talking about Morpheus from The Matrix, here. He is a premium quality actor, who deserves an Oscar.

I feel Fishburne lost valuable roles to Denzel Washington through the years. While Tinsel Town is a town big enough for both of them, these CEOs love cutting corners. Hopefully, Hollywood reverses course before it’s too late.

Film students should study Fishburne. When it comes to drama, few actors can compare to his greatness. Although Samuel may have a farther driving range, Laurence’s acting range is one of the best in showbiz. Do you want proof? Check out What’s Love Got to Do with It, Akeelah and the Bee and Contagion.

Can you believe both actors launched their careers in 1972? The main difference is Laurence Fishburne received immediate acclaim. Thus, the actor played in more movies from the onset. In contrast, Samuel L. Jackson received more roles later on in his career.

I greatly admire Samuel L. Jackson and Laurence Fishburne because they continue teaching upcoming talents. Applaud Jackson for all of his amazing accomplishments. And give Fishburne recognition for Blackish.

These Old School actors offer an avenue for the New School. There’s nothing new under the sun, right? That’s why Hollywood remakes movies every decade. Unfortunately, it’s impossible to remake one-of-a-kind actors like Samuel L. Jackson and Laurence Fishburne.
