Great Actors & Actresses and the bad movie choices they have made
Pick a favorite Actor or Actress of yours. Then pick the one movie that you wonder what the hell they were thinking when they agreed to make this movie.
I love Ewan MacGregor but one wonders what the hell he was thinking when he made the movie "Down with Love"
A friend of mine and I have this theory about Pat Morita: When he is working on a "serious" project he is billed as "Noriyuki 'Pat' Morita". When he takes a role because he's building a new swimming pool or has a boat payment due, he's just billed as "Pat Morita".

where he plays a herpetologist. The movie was so awful I am surprised he didn't insist on being billed as "a guy who looks like Pat Morita... but it's not him, honest."
22. the second Karate Kid was a very good film too
with a more immersive story than the first, I thought. I also loved how the Daniel San story was buried beneath the ongoing rivalry between Miyagi and Sato.
Michael Caine in Jaws: The Revenge (and Austin Powers 3... sheesh... what a waste) Ida Lupino in Bert I Gordon's giant rat extravaganza, Food of the Gods
Sam Jackson is my favorite actor, and I'm a huge fan of Star Wars (prequels not as much). But I think he is grossly miscast, and is forced to underact with the script given to him.
aside from the indignity of BEING in Deep Blue Sea, he's Eaten after only about 30 minutes leaving the audience saddled with a cast of truly AWFUL actors to finish out the movie.
It is one of those odd train wreck (no pun intended) movies that I tune into whenever it is on. Voight's acting is horrid and over-the-top but is complete fun to watch. Also, starring Eric Roberts who can act circles around his much richer sister. A pointless movie which thinks it has something profound to say.
it's like existentialism.... no real point to the story, sort of an allegory for life. I like to double feature it with Emperor of the North, another train story with Lee Marvin and Keith Carradine.
Did you ever see "The Sum Of Us?" I haven't seen "Gladiator" or "A Beautiful Mind," but I'm willing to bet Crowe's performance in "The Sum Of Us" was just as good, if not better. EXCELLENT film. He was also great in "L.A. Confidential."
co-starring that guy from that awful TV series Silver Spoons--Joel Somebody? She plays a successful romance novelist who goes to live with a "typical" suburban family as a stunt to prove she's not out of touch with real life. Or something like that.
can't remember the name of the flick but it was horrible. She had just come off of the success of Thelma and Louise (and I believe an Oscar nomination) and then that. It sort of killed her career. I haven't liked her since.
Agreed on Ewan MacGregor. I kept thinking while watching it - this might have worked had it come out BEFORE 3 Austin Powers movies - lol. They were way late on the retro bandwagon with that one.
