RE:Something "smarmy" or too cute about Leonardo...

actually, i think de capria is a very good actor, who is often judge on his good looks..

he was incredible in What's Eating Gilbert Grape, and very different again in The Beach, and different again in Titanic.

he has made some bad movies, but he has never been a bad actor.

many years ago, i was reading a propagand story (a novel) by Helen MacInnes(think it was her)-- it was writen in 1943-- and it was about an espionge plan being put in place in France,(organizing the underground) and i remember wondering how it was going to end... i mean i knew how WWII ended..but she didn't at the time. knowing the ending (WWII) didn't make the story any less exciting!
