What movie stars need to be in better movies

[spike]

I've just relealized that certain actors that made a couple of cool movies but now they suck. Like Jet Li which did great Hk flicks but now that he became famous he sucks. Same thing with Steven Stegeul(can't spell) or Stallone. They might be trying to make a better movie know. I believe Jet Li Hereo will be pretty good. Hopefully some of these guys will make better films

Erica Christensen needs to be in more movies.  She's one of the most beautiful women I've ever seen and she's so damn talented!

Two words:Jack Nicholson.

Wesley Snipes can be a damn good dramatic actor when he wants to, but he seems to have slipped into genre and straight-to-video limbo. I know some like his BLADE flicks (I've only seen the first one, and despised it, despite everyone I knew recommending it to me). But the crap action flicksand dramas he has made like MURDER AT 1600, THE ART OF WAR, BOILING POINT,  FUTURESPORT, etc. are just dragging the man down.

Kurt Russell used to make great action flicks and had the chops to pull off good dramatic work in addition to his great work with John Carpenter. But somewhere around ESCAPE FROM LA, he seemed to lose direction. I began to wonder about him after CAPTAIN RON, but I figured everyone needs a big paycheck flick every now and again. I haven't seen DARK BLUE, but most of his late 90s movies have been crap. Snap out of it Kurt!

The"Blade"movies rock,but Kurt Russel has became a caricature of himself.

Eric Roberts - I still can't figure out how he slipped so far so fast. He was great in movies like RUNAWAY TRAIN, STAR 80 and THE POPE OF GREENWICH VILLAGE. What happened????

Gene Hackman - One of the best actors of the past 35 years. He was tremendous in BONNIE AND CLYDE, THE CONVERSATION, THE FRENCH CONNECTION, and SCARECROW. He's still good, but about 3 out of every 4 movies he appears in nowadays is run-of-the-mill trash.

Michael Keaton - He went from comedian, to dramatic actor, to comedian to . . . where the hell is he now????

Eddie Murphy - He had some shining moments in movies like BEVERLY HILLS COP, TRADING PLACES, 48 HOURS, and COMING TO AMERICA. Now we get junk like THE ADVENTURES OF PLUTO NASH and I SPY.

Matthew Modine - One of the better young actors of the 1980s and early 1990s. He was able to stay away from "the brat pack" and make movies like VISION QUEST, GROSS ANATOMY and BIRDIE (funny and excellent in all 3 of these movies). He shoulda been a contender . . .  

Richard Gere - Like him or hate him, the guy is a pretty good actor, but he doesn't always make good choices.

Seagal needs to stop making movies. period.  Become a janitor at a 7-11 somewhere.  How about Turkmenistan.

[Funk, E.]

Gary Oldman could use a good movie
I think Julia Stiles has alot of untapped potential
Maria Ford complained about never getting to do a good movie in "Some Nudity Required"
I'd like to see Lucy Lawless in something non-xena like
Gillian Anderson neeeds to ween herself of the X-Files
Donald Sutherland and Micheal Caine both need to fire their agents

[Johnny Blister]

Just for the record,Lucy Lawless is a whore.And"Xena:Warrior Princess"is a porn show.

[Neville]

"Xena" a porn show? I guess many people would like that.

Dennis Hopper, Michael Madesen and Gary Busey MUST leave the B-movie limbo ASAP, before it is too late.

Sean Connery MUST stop making bad movies with bad roles.

And I'd like to see James Woods and Ed Harris in more stuff.

[Johnny Blister]

Sean Connery rules!

Im not sure why you would think that? Wasnt Michael Caine just up for an academy award or two? That sounds good to me.

Sutherland was in a great thriller/horror Fallen, then was in the surprising cash cow Space Cowboys (which actually sucked) and now is in a cool youth movie , The Italian Job with Seth Green, super hot Charlize Theron, and possibly the best actor of our time, Edward Norton.

Sounds pretty good to me.

[Johnny Blister]

I liked Space Cowboys.

[Rob Phillips]

I just saw him in a 1967 episode of The Avengers "The Superlative Seven ".

But my own opinion is that Bruce Campbell needs more and better movies. I also think Chuckie need to be cast in more romantic and comedic roles . . . he's in very serious danger of being typecast beyond recovery! I mean really, how many times can you play a sadistic homicidal doll, even if you really are a sadistic homicidal doll. I would like to see Alf cast as Chuckie in the next Child's Play movie.

[Johnny Blister]

I´m planning to do"The Return Of Chucky"and I will NOT use Alf.
