I love Johnny Depp. His roles are as different as fingerprints. I admire him for his prowess as an actor and his ability to choose well suited roles for himself. I have seen close to every movie the man has ever made. Picking two of my favorites is the hardest thing to do, but if I had to choose I would go with Once Upon A Time in Mexico and his body of work in Pirates of the Carribean. Just to show you the range of his roles here is a quote from the first movie. He is an agent trying to get rid of the problems in Mexico. He was in the bar drinking tequila and at the end of his explanation for wanting to kill the cook he says:
Help keep the balance by pulling the trigger.
His line of reasoning is so convincing you nearly want to go and kill the cook for him!
Another show of his logic is rather contrasting to the one you picture above. It’s his way of speaking as Jack Sparrow: Me? I’m dishonest, and a dishonest man you can always trust to be dishonest. Honestly. It’s the honest ones you want to watch out for, because you can never predict when they’re going to do something incredibly… stupid.
Of course, he is referring to Will Turner (played by Orlando Bloom) being the honest and therefore stupid one. It’s almost too much to bare!
I would have to say that my favorite of the two would be the Pirates trilogy. He is Jack Sparrow through and through on each movie, never missing a beat. You almost forget that he is Johnny Depp.
Now he has another movie to add to one of my favorites (I hope). He plays a demonic barber who kills for revenge. For more information you can visit the official Sweeney Todd movie site or visit Sweeney Todd on Myspace. It looks like an interesting movie. He SINGS in it!! I was just listening on Myspace. What do you think about his new movie?
