Good Actors In Bad Movies

[Schlomey]

A growing trend in an economic downturn is good actors taking on sketchy projects for a payday. Who are some good actors/actresses who have great careers that you can question some of their selections....?




My number 1 is Cuba Gooding Jr.
He was awesome in Radio & Jerry McGuire......Then wtf happened from there I'll never know.

[XCaliber]

Jack Nicholson for doing Mars Attacks after all the good movies he did comes to mind.

[Schlomey]

I loved Mars Attacks :(


Understandable choice in reality.


Jason Stratham in Dungeon Seige Tale: In The Name of the King;.....shit not just Jason, all the mid-level actors in that film.

[thedamndest]

Mars Attacks was okay. It was like a modern B-movie answer to Independence Day. Still, with the star power that movie had and the look of the aliens I don't think it delivered.

[Schlomey]

better than daddy day camp & pluto nash.


So Cuba and Eddie Murphy are on my list of "what the fuck were they thinking"

[Requiem]

Jason Statham isn't really a 'good' actor though. Like, he is pretty much always typecast and he plays roughly the same character in most of his movies. They all have the same personality, etc..

I mean, he isn't a horrible actor.. Like I wouldn't not see a movie just because he was in it, but his movies aren't really amazing or very versatile.

[Schlomey]

Yeah you are correct. That was more a swipe at how awful that movie was...Nobody attached is considered A list actors. so yeah, I agree, I must have been venting.

[XCaliber]

Since someone mentioned a Uwe Boll movie I have to add Ben Kingsley to this list obviously for Bloodrayne and I haven't even seen all of it to know it's garbage.

[Schlomey]

Uwe Boll has directed 4 of the top 10 worst movies based on video games as read on Yahoo.

Just a tidbit from a few weeks ago I read and thought was funny.

That guy must be awful.

[Ermaximus]

Ben Affleck in Gigli. Oh wait, you said good actors.

[Cool King]

The first thing that came to my head was Bob Hoskins in Super Mario Bros. :-\

[Schlomey]

i was just thinking about that movie today. Haven't seen it since it was in theatres...another film I want to rewatch to see just how bad it really is :P

[Verbose Minch]

Bill Murray in the Garfield movies.

At least he regrets doing them.

[Seth82]

Steve Carrell in Evan Almighty

[toxic rooster]

Will Ferrell in Bewitched comes to mind.

So does Willem Dafoe in Boondock Saints.

[Sixx]

Hulk Hogan in like all.

[Sixx]

He's a great actor, just needs a Shawshank Redemption kind of role.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Pretty much everything De Niro has done this decade.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Meet the Parents was ok. Other than that, yikes.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Pacino's only had 1 good movie this decade too.

[The Gooch]

Envy

Ben Stiller
Jack Black
Christopher Walken

It was suppose to be a comedy. It wasn't even a "so terrible it's funny" type of movie.

[Schlomey]

Envy was a worse than a train wreck inside an abortion clinic.
