The only watchable movie with Nicky Cage in it, is Fast Times At Ridgemont High. All other NC movies SUCK.
Smarmy little Tommy Cruise, that whiny fuck Kevin Costner, and brain-damaged Ben Stiller are just full of suck (and not in a good way either).
Adaptation is Cage’s good one.
Wait a sec. Nicholas Cage was in Fast Times at Ridgemont High? Huh.
His character in Peggy Sue Got Married was not too bad.
What’s the last decent movie Sean Connery was in?
And please don’t say League of Extraordinary Gentlemen…
Oh, and I stand by my Gene Hackman 90% horrible. That guy has been in like 300+ movies. It’s no surprise there are 10 good ones.
He was also in Saving Private Ryan.
Yes, but I consider that more of an ensemble film lead by Tom Hanks. His performance in Find Me Guilty is so different from anything else that he’s done that it is the best example. It’s been a long time since I’ve seen Saving Private Ryan, but I don’t think that role is as much of a stretch.
*The Insider *was very good.
She was pretty good, and almost unrecognizable, in Being John Malkovich.
I can’t stand Philip Seymour Hoffman. It is both a combination of the smarmy characters he plays, and the wet, mouth-breathing way he speaks.
My point exactly!
It was not a big role. I think he worked in back of a fast food counter.
I liked a lot of Cage’s earlier stuff, like Raising Arizona and Red Rock West and Birdy. Even Moonstruck. Boy, has he made a lot of crap over the years since.
But he’s a terrific actor.
Probably the movie where he played Indiana Jones’ pappy. He was quite good in that, and it was a very decent flick.
I see Khadaji already mentioned Martin Lawrence. When he makes his tough guy face (big rolling eyes with a pout), I hope his car drives off a bridge. Reminds me of a yappy little poodle. He carries himself like he’s built like Tiny Lister when he can’t be more than 150 pounds - dude needs a better mirror.
I’m also tired of Shia LeBeowulf’s “I can’t BELIEVE this is happening!” face in every movie he’s in. Other standard lines/faces: “We’ve got to get OUT of HERE!”, “WHOA!” and “are you CRAZY?”
Vin Diesel was also very good in the underrated Knockaround Guys, which I think was a flop because the writer and director refused to add an obligatory female love interest.
Nicolas Cage was great in Wild at Heart. Even Jennifer Lopez was good in U-Turn. The shittiest actors have been in one or two decent films, and the best actors have been in a few shitty ones. And some of the best actors have been in tons of shitty movies.
Mel Gibson.
I never liked him in the first place. Recent events have certainly not served to reverse that opinion.
I’m also averse to Tom Cruise, but not as strongly as to Mel Gibson.
This made me laugh and laugh.
Jason Schwartzman creeps me the hell out.
I also don’t like Seth Rogen, but I don’t think I’ve seen any of his films so I have no idea if he’s a good actor.
I just discovered Woody Allen about 2 years ago and I absolutely adore his movies. They’re not all great, given, but they’re all interesting. And Annie Hall is pretty damn close to being the most brilliant 90 minutes ever committed to celluloid.
You’ve never seen Leaving Las Vegas.
“I’m a PRICKLY PEAR! I’m a PRICKLY PEAR!” Worth it just for that.
I thought he was good in The Name of the Rose as well. He can act, when he’s not pretending to be an action star.
Such a great movie.
No one else shares my disdain for Richard Gere? I think he always looks like he just licked his lips.
