2017: Great movie year?

Keanu Reeves is good in the sense that he meets the requirements of the roles he takes. He's an appropriate actor. Same reason Under the Skin was good. The role didn't call for a lot of intense acting in the first place.

I like Keanu a lot, while he's competent as an actor but he still comes across as being a sincere enough as a dude on and off the screen so makes it much easier to enjoy his work. It's the difference between him and Tom Cruise, they're both okay actors and both are known to have a solid work ethic. But people still get pretty judgey with Cruise and Keanu buys his stunt crew motorbikes.

This.

The fact that pictures tend to randomly pop up of Keanu just riding the train like he's not a celebrity is a big plus to me.

[Iommic Pope]

He seems like a cool guy.
Whereas Mr. Cruise does not.

Yep, pretty much the same thing. There's also a difference between not considering her a shit actress and considering her a good actress, but nice arbitrary assumption.

Really dude? Okay, she''s not a great actress, but why porn? Is that the only thing a girl with her looks and person would be suitable for?
I hate to be that guy, but c'mon.

no, I'm not kidding, I can't simply enjoy actors who repeat themselves over and over. If they could only say "no" when they get offers for samey characters.

Then they'd all be broke.

I take it you're a big Nicholas Cage fan.


I really think the director has more to do with badly played roles than the actors in a lot of movies. I blame Len Wiseman completely for the failure of the 2012 remake of Total Recall. I've seen with my own eyes that Colin Farrell can actually act (In Bruges) and Kate Beckinsale did okay in Stonehearst Asylum, so she can at least do better than she did in TR. Bryan Cranston was undeniably the greatest actor involved, but even he couldn't save that schlock fest.

When I think of Megan Fox, I think of Transformers. Which makes me think of Michael Bay. I don't know what else she's in.

But Michael Bay.

Jennifer's Body.
I remember that a handful of people watched that, but I have absolutely no idea what happened or if she was even viewed as passable.

[Blackened Soul]

tom cruise is a good actor, if not a great one.

and this is actually food acording to some.

I agree-ish... and I'd say more pre-underworld Kate Beckinsale movies show that she is better then what she normally does anymore..
I fucking hate all those fucking trans-bot movies, who can even tell if the actors can act, the movies are bags of moldy puss covered tampons.
And.. in defense of the actors in GITS, they did ok considering... the writing [I mean really it's like they got an unpaid interim to write down highlights from the other movies/tv and wrote a screenplay from them], the directing, the production, the over-reliance on bad CG, lame filtering and overuse of hound dogs.

You didn't have to pick an alternate career, yet you did. You even said she was 'made' for it. That says it all.

[actual]

Lol ok.

You've been on the forum for nearly a year and you still don't get vidret, yet, idiot?
