Reply #26 - Feb 15^th, 2010 at 10:41am True, but even if English were his first language, his acting is still pretty bad - he only knows two faces - pissed and frustrated. Granted, in a few scenes in Bloodsport, he managed to combine them into a frustrated pissed off guy! I guess that counts for something...

oh , and John Ritter ( RIP )

Ritter was BRILLIANT in Slingblade...in a few other films, whose names are not remembered, i always thought he came across as sincere and even endearing...thought the Jack Tripper thing really was difficult to shake off...

I actually prefer Cruise to Brad Pitt....
Cruise was great in Minority Report, Rain Man and made me cry in Born on the Fourth of July..brilliant in Collateral.....its all subjective of course, but there are many actors who i find overrated....Cruise tends to be underrated.
Can't argue with Reeves - painful to watch, simple as that and i cannot for the life of me will never understand how he keeps getting work...

Didn't see the movie but Brad Pitt's accent in Snatch is beyond shocking.

Winona Ryder just terrible.

Mick. Freejack and Ned Kelly are up there although in comparison to those (only in comparison to those) the Man from Elysian Fields was much better.

Sharon Stone- the media just hypes her up. She is the epitome of overacting.

The entire Bend it Like Beckham cast and their terrible attempt at pretending to be football lovers.

Sting in Lock Stock and Two Smoking Piles of Shite. His mockney and attempt to act hard is utterly useless.

Al Pacino
Robert De Niro
Jack Nicholson

Maybe I would have a different opinion if they all dropped dead sometime in the 1980's but I have had a hard time sitting thru just about anything I have seen with them since.

That said, I am not a big movie watcher. The Golden Age of Hollywood ended sometime around 1986 and I have hardly bothered since.

Hard Target and Universal Soldier were great movies.

Kelsey Grammar

For his work outside of Cheers and Frasier? I say that because both shows - though I prefer the latter - show him to be one of America's very finest. How on earth can one enjoy the wit and wisdom that is Dr. Frasier Crane????

I hope that was meant to read "how on earth can one NOT enjoy the wit and wisdom....?"
I absolutely loOOOOOOve Frasier and tend to watch one episode every morning while eating breakfast and before I start consulting and it always puts a long-lasting smile on my face. No idea how big the team of script-writers is, but to me it is an absolutely brilliant sitcom, and the best humour American TV has ever produced.

I HATE TOM CRUISE!!!!!!!(with a passion! does he actually have more than two facial expressions?

Mel Gibson - like Cruise I find his over acting/emoting cringe inducing

he has made an entire career out of pulling that stupid Mad Max "crazy eyes" look

ijwthstd mentioned de Niro - while i think he is still a fine actor (see e.g. Jacky Brown and I thought his comedy turn In Meet the Fockers was well done) he has really trashed his reputation with B-grade crap like The Fan. Still I understand he was happy to do any old stuff as long as he got a good pay cheque as he used his $$ to fund his ABC production company.

Same here! Seen a few revivals (Town That Dreaded Sundown, Rolling Thunder, Gimme Shelter, Shine A Light) and new releases, South Park (over 10 years ago), Shine A Light first run, Team America, Breach and Friday The 13th remake - an insignificant yet fun film that harkens back to a much simpler time.

Often indie films always that look interesting but would take a bit of effort to get to where they are playing so I don't bother.
