"And maybe the actors aren't selling out. They never had any real standards in the first place!"--Cass.
--I'm going to answer this question in a "top five format" to show how these mentioned actors made good movies and had standards before making movies that no one cares about.
Cuba's Top Five Good Movies:
1. A Few Good Men
2. Losing Isaiah
3. Jerry Maguire
4. As Good As It Gets
5. American Gangster
Nicholas Cage's Top Five:
1. Rumble Fish
2. Moonstruck
3. Raising Arizona
4. Leaving Las Vegas
5. Adaptation
Okay maybe Vince doesn't have much of a case, but he does have a few gems that need to be recognized:
1. Swingers
2. Clay Pigeons
3. Into the Wild
Kate Hudson, I found out hasn't been in that many movies, but two that I recognized and remembered that she was good in were:
1. Almost Famous
2. Dr. T. and the Women
3. (yeah it's going on here) The Skeleton Key--it grew on me.
Matthew McConaughey:
1. Dazed and Confused
2 Amistad
3. Frailty
4. Lone Star
5. A Time To Kill
"Nicholas Cage belongs in family and romance esque movies. I adored him in Family Man. To me every time I see him in an action movie, I can't help but to laugh because I think he is SUCH A BAD action star. He makes his movies bad."--Cass
I believe I covered him up above. Before he was known for his baaad movies and his predilection for naming his children Kal-El--he was known for being quite a good actor who made movies that were critically and commercially liked.
"I feel like Matthew has always made the same kind of cheesy romances that'll always sell great. Sometimes they're good cheese and something they're bad cheese. Same with Kate Hudson."--Cass
Again, I covered them above--I loved Matthew in A Time To Kill, he was so good which is why I'm sad that he keeps getting stuck in bad romantic comedies. Kate Hudson I found out hasn't made that many movies but she also once showed promise (she was nominated for an Oscar for Best Supporting Actress for Almost Famous) and now she's stuck in bad romantic comedies too.
"And what "amazing" movie had Vince been in? I mean, I think all of his movies are good and not great. Lookswise, though, he has let himself go. So sad."--Cass
Um, Swingers. That was the amazing movie.
"What would you say some of the best-looking actors were who have now REALLY let themselves go?"
Mickey Rourke, William Hurt, C. Thomas Howell, Judd Nelson, Emilio Estevez. I can't think of anymore right now.

I tots think that you should have Family Man in Nicholas Cage's top five list. I adore that movie. And Into the Wild came out like two years ago, so TECHNICALLY Vince is raising his movie standards. Kind of.

P.S. Also, you can comment your own blog as well. Entire conversations have been held in the comment sections!
I just thought that because you had raised so many good points that you deserved your own entry. okay i haven't seen Family Man all the way through--I try to put movies on there that I've either seen or have heard so many good things about. As for Vince, I don't think Into the Wild taught him anything since everything since then has pretty much sucked.
ReplyDeleteTwo other Kate Hudson movies that I think you might like are About Adam and Le Divorce. I tend to watch Le Divorce when it's on tv to catch a glimpse of the beautiful Birkin handbag. And Bride Wars is a fun movie.
ReplyDeleteWell, I'll take those into consideration--and maybe I'll change my opinion of her. Because I just watched her in The Skeleton Key and I thought at one point, "she's a terrible actress."
ReplyDeleteI may take back that last comment on The Skeleton Key and give it a better review--I mean it is hokey, but there are times when I was genuinely scared.
