What current actor in film do you feel is washed up???

[Brian Damage]

That actor for me is Nicolas Cage. The guy has put out quite a few stinkeroos and box office bombs. The latest is the big budget bomb "Next." The guy really can't buy a hit. Ghost Rider made a 100 million, but was universally panned by critics.

[TJL]

Nick Cage is a good choice. He really hasn't gotten too particular about his movie roles in the past few years.

The only one I can think of off the top of my head is Sandra Bullock. Honestly, when was the last time she had a big hit movie?

I can't stand Nicholas Cage, after he butchered his role in Windtalkers I refused to pay to see any of his movies again. Caught a few on Star Choice and he hasn't shown me anything to prove that he still doesn't suck rotten eggs
.

Sandra gets a free pass with me any day of the week.

I love Nicolas Cage. He's always been one of my favorites. I think he's at that stage of his career where he just wants to work and make money. He's in his 40s, has a couple of families to support and a certain lifestyle to maintain. Make it while you can sort of thing. I like his quirky nature. He's not one off the assembly line, that's for sure. I loved him in Lord Of War. I like him in any movie's he's in, even if I dislike the movie. Gotta think about washed up actors and get to you, lol.

Bruce Willis. How many movies can he make that are the same over and over and over again?

I too agree with Nick Cage. For the same reason I stated abt Bruce Willis. They both seem to play the same character. There is nothing different abt the characters and/or the movies.

[Zoneboy]

Has Nick Cage made any movie worth seeing since Raising Arizona?

[Ireneparalegal]

Nick was in World Trade Center. That movie is worth watching for the obvious reasons, not necessarily for Nick Cage.

Thanks, Truth is I very rarely watch movies and of the Cage films I've seen, Raising Arizona is my favorite. Anybody have any thoughts on National Treasure?

It's all personal opinion. Here's his resume. Looks like he's in demand to me.

I've got some catching up to do, From that list, I've only seen 5 of those. The others being Fast Times at Ridgemont High, Valley Girl, Con Air and that God awful Moonstruck.

[Brian Damage]

Sylvester Stallone is another I can think of. The man is soooo desperate for a hit, he revived both the Rocky and Rambo franchises.

Possibly for Willis. No way for Cage. He's all over the map in the types of characters he portrays and the movies he chooses. One of the most versatille actors in the industry.

[Brad Russ]

I agree with Janice, Nicholas Cage is a phenomenal actor, who I think is on the top of his game right now. He's so diverse, and can play just about any part. I thought his last great performance was in World Trade Center. Easily one of his best performances ever.

One actor who I think is washed up, is Arnold Schwarznegger. I know he's been busy these last few years Governating California, but I thought his last few films were complete crap, and I thought his acting was even worse then it had been in his past movies. (If that's possible). I just can't see too many people taking Arnold seriously as an actor anymore.

[Stuck In The '70's]

I think Nicholas Cage is a great actor too. I don't know why everyones on him so much.

One actor I used to like was Harrison Ford. I liked all his movies but I haven't seen a real good one of his since Air Force One and that was 10 years ago. I'm looking forward to the next Indiana Jones movie but that seems to be what Sylvester Stalone did with Rocky. Bring back an old character and hope the audience follows.

I've always liked Harrison Ford as an actor, but I think he's getting a little long in the tooth for some of the roles he's taking on these days. I can't remember the name of it, but the last one he had young wife and young kids. I know that happens in real life, but it was being played off as if he was young himself. It's actually happening in his real life now that I think of it, lol, with Calista Flockhart. I just think he needs more age appropriate roles. A guy in his 60s playing action heroes is just not plausible.

Sonny, I love you new avatar. She's a doll. I've seen Priscilla Barnes in some minor roles in some wild movies lately. One of Rob Zombies, I believe. I see so many movies, that they all start to blur after a while, lol.

Brad, one thing about Ahrr-noold, lol, is that I love The Terminator! The original recipe.

My God, my husband and I go wild for that movie. No matter how many Saturday afternoons he finds it with his super-duper remote, we get sucked right in. I can recite the dialog for the movie, verbatim.

Sucked right in, same goes for The Towering Inferno and The Shining. My TV becomes a magnet that grabs our attention. :lol:

I'll be baaaccck.....

You know it's funny, I've actually never sat through an entire Terminator film. Can you believe that?? My dad was another guy who would watch that movie over and over again, but I was just never able to get into it.

Have you heard about the new Terminator that might be made?? I was reading about some of the people who they're considering to play the part. Three of them are The Rock, Stone Cold Steve Austin, and Vin Diesel. I think any of these guys would look good as the Terminator, but I think The Rock or Vin Diesel would be the best choices. Especially The Rock. I think he'd be able to pull it off very well, and with his wrestling background, and great looks, he'd probably bring in a whole new fan base as well.

Yea I think that's what happens to a lot of action stars when they get older. They are so popular in one genre it's hard for them to adapt. I thought Ford could do it though because 2 of his best movies was Presumed Innocent and Working Girl and they weren't action movies.

Thanks Janice. :) I always liked Priscilla. I always thought she was a very underated actress. I haven't really seen a lot of her movies. I know she was in a lot of low budget films but she was great in Three's Company.

I think that if Priscilla Barnes was originally cast in Three's Company, with no Suzanne Somers around -- that she would be more appreciated in the show then and today. She had tough shoes to fill, and she did it well. Underrated for sure.

Has Nick Cage made any movie worth seeing since Raising Arizona?


Amen to that! That film is an extremly underrrated gem!

[Brad Russ]

Has Nick Cage made any movie worth seeing since Raising Arizona?

Well, lets see.

Moonstruck
Leaving Las Vegas (multi Oscar nominated film)
The Rock
Con Air
Face Off
Snake Eyes
Bringing Out The Dead
Adaptation
Matchstick Men
World Trade Center
Grindhouse

In answer to your question, I'd have to say yes. lol!

[Zoneboy]

Moonstruck
Con Air


Moonstruck was one of the most boring movies I've ever seen.
Con Air wasn't too bad, The rest on your list I haven't seen.
Like I said earlier, I rarely watch movies but World Trade Center sounds like it might be good and I do want to see National Treasure simply because it looked good from the trailer but that can be deceiving.

I never go out to see a movie and the last one I saw in a theater was the Incredibles and that was against my will. Prior to that, I had not seen a movie in a theater since St. Elmo's Fire in 1985. My near-20 year streak came to an end in December 2004. Believe it or not, I've never seen any of the Star Wars movies so that should give you some idea how far behind I am. :lol:

[Brian Damage]

Well, lets see.


Grindhouse

In answer to your question, I'd have to say yes. lol!


Cage was in Grindhouse?

[Brad Russ]

Cage was in Grindhouse?

It listed him as being in it on IMDB. I'll double check, but I'm pretty sure it did.

[GARFIELDKOOL]

I will have to say Martin Lawrence and John Travolta. Both actors have seen better days as far as appearing in movies. These days, Martin is appearing in anything and John Travolta's last good movie was Face-Off.

[Max Whittaker]

Believe it or not, I've never seen any of the Star Wars movies so that should give you some idea how far behind I am. :lol:
:eek: Good God! Star Wars was a major part of my childhood!

Excellent choices...especially Travolta.

Unless he had a really bit part, I do not recall him in it.

Face Off was Cage's last good movie too
