Perhaps you were a little let-down by Johnny Depp in Tim Burton's remake of "Alice in Wonderland." After all, you would expect a director-actor team that has been collaborating since way back when "Edward Scissorhands" was made to be a little less cheesy as far as what Depp had to do--a whimsical dance at the end? Really? He was able to get through the entire "Pirates of the Caribbean" trilogy without having to do anything really ridiculous, and then all of the sudden that? It's a little bit disappointing.
But while you wait to see if his turn essentially playing Hunter S. Thompson again in "The Rum Diaries" is a big hit, or if his highly-anticipated team-up with Angelina Jolie in "The Tourist" happens to be a flop or a success, there is plenty of vintage Johnny Depp to enjoy on satellite tv. Since he has been in so many different films, it shouldn't be difficult to find a Depp performance that you love on practically any channel at any given point in the day. In fact, on most weekends, the statistical probability of at least two Johnny Depp films being on at the same time is incredibly high. That's just how many different roles he's tackled over the years.
Whether it's men or women who are in awe over Johnny Depp, one thing seems to always stay the same. Unlike so many actors who happened to choose their roles just to keep working, Depp managed to stand his ground and walked away from the chance to be a teen idol for a long while in favor of more serious or dramatic work. And if you happen to catch some of his earlier roles, or even flip through your satellite tv channels and watch "What's Eating Gilbert Grape?" you're going to find that he's always had promise. Whether he's in big blockbusters or starring in a John Waters film (the highly underrated musical "Crybaby,") Depp is always giving it his all.
For women around the world, Johnny Depp is pretty much the sexiest man alive--and not just because "People Magazine" says so. For evidence of his dreaminess and general hunk qualities, one of the best films to begin with is "Chocolat," where he plays a guitar-strumming, boat-living, demure gypsy man who woos the leading lady. The gypsy boat party and his piercing eyes and adorable hair were definitely what stole the show, and are just one of the reasons that women around the world love him. But Depp is one of the few actors that guys can handle seeing their girlfriends drooling over, because his choice in movies is often so good. Get scared and laugh at the same time the next time "Sleepy Hollow" is on satellite tv, or enjoy the mayhem and madness of Hunter S. Thompson's "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas" on the big screen, with Depp playing Dr. Gonzo himself.
It's a rare actor who can manage to balance zany right alongside talented, and it's no wonder that Depp--who says that his inspirations for roles come from everything, including Rolling Stones band members and high-strung small animals--seems to be doing a great job picking his roles for the most part. Whether you're a new fan or a diehard Depp lover who only has satellite tv to catch the latest on his comings and goings, it's always a good choice to pick a Johnny Depp movie to watch.
