DeBerg does usually have good taste in movies, but we are all human and have flaws. One of his is his love of the Karate Kid Remake.

Django looks damn awesome.

He's been at his absolute best when portraying historical figures (Ray Charles, Bundini Brown). I also think he turned in rock solid performances in "Any Given Sunday", "Collateral" and "Dreamgirls".

tarantino has a pretty good track record of getting strong performances from unlikely castings...i'll give him the benefit of the doubt

I disagree.

I can't knock the approach though.
It's made for one very impressive filmography.
I agree.

Yeah, i'll give you Collateral he did do well playing against type & he was fine as Ali's trainer i guess.

But AGS was terrible all the way around, including him.

Jamie Fox is infinitely more talented than Will Smiff.
Please show me an acting "performance" by will smith that is anything CLOSE to Fox's best efforts.

Independence Day, clearly.

Unforgettable performance, with classic lines like "I have GOT to get me one of THESE," and "Welcome to earth."

Frankly, I'm shocked he didn't win an Oscar there. HE WAS SNUBBED!

I can't fault Smith with Independence Day. That entire movie is one giant turd. Bill Pullman as President. Cousin Eddie saving the day. The aliens not having a firewall. It is definitely one of the worst movies of all time.

Dude, don't hold that against Smith. That was early in his career and more script than acting. Hes not the greatest actor in the world but hes had a number of strong roles....although he does play it safe for the most part when choosing his roles.

I'd say Ray is Foxx's best performance. Ali from Smith is on that level.

Will Smith would have done fine, but I think Foxx has that 'edginess' to him that will make it work better.
