   He's a good director.  Colors.  Way excellent.  Hopper was way out there in   
   Apocolypse Now.  Most excellent.  True, a tad over the top, but very enjoyable.   
      
   Just checking out his filmography.  I have seen him in other films,   
   but he is just so-so and doesn't impress me.  Oscar nomination in   
   "Hoosiers", but I don't watch sports films.
