Eddie Murphy hasn't made a good movie since Life with Martin Lawrence LOL. The Adventures Of Pluto Nash was horrible & it went to video quick LOL. I haven't seen I Spy so i can't comment on that but i might wanna check it out. I haven't seen Daddy Day Care either so i can't comment on that. Arnold hadn't had a hit movie since Terminator 3 LOL.

It is called WiseGirls and I thought it was really good. I liked it better than Glitter, even though I did think that was also good. Most people never gave it a chance.

If Tom Cruise is washed up, then my name is Fred.
Eyes Wide Shut did tank, but Minority Report brought in 132 million and the critics loved it. Cruise made 25 million plus a percentage of the profits from MR. (IMDB)

Vanilla Sky, not so loved by critics, still raked in 100 million at the box office.

Tom Cruise is one of, if not the highest, paid actor in Hollywood.
Don't count on seeing him on Hollywood Squares anytime in the near future.

Richard Gere is not washed up.
He just won a Golden Globe for Chicago and was nominated for a SAG award also.
Unfaithful from last year was also successful.

Tom Cruise and Bruce Willis are bounce back type guys that can come back with a $100 million dollar maker in a second.
-Mission Impossible 3 for Tom next summer is almost a guarantee.
-Die Hard 4 for Bruce next year is a guarantee and The Whole Ten Yards will make decent money.

And I don't think Mel Gibson is very worried either. Signs was very successful- made over $227 million in the US alone-and he has Mad Max 4 coming out.
Plus his other recent movies - We Were Soldiers and The Patriot - all made more money than their budget.
And What Women Want made over $182 million - on budget of $65 mil.

That sound washed up??

Washed up in fame and fortune maybe.

Can't resist another corny play on words, but I'll wash up with any of the aforementioned hunks anytime.

He was in the movie "Hollywood Homicide" wtih Harrison Ford this year. I don't think it earned a lot of money at the box office and I don't think it got that many good reviews.

I agree with you on Gere. I do NOT think Gere is washed up... just yet. His role in 'Chicago' was significant- a movie that almost never made it to the big screen, and ended up being the runaway hit of the year and winning "Best Picture". Gere's definitely still doing good.

I just saw Matthew Modine in "Le Divorce".'Nuff Said.

"Minority Report" was pretty good.

Also, "The Mothman Prophecies" was very good.

I am not a Tom Cruise fan, I find him extremely overrated, but I loved Vanilla Sky and Minority Report. I like those types of movies. MR grossed 150 million, it did pretty good and it turn Colin Farall into a star

Eddie Murphy is hit-and-miss these days, he can have a smash then a flop. He will never be as big as he was in the 80's again, but I don't think anyone is worried that he's washed up either, because he does whatever he wants these days and can get away with it because he's Eddie Murphy

I find it hilarious people in here are naming people like Tom Cruise, Bruce Willis, Eddie Murphy. If your movies are still getting released in theaters, you are fine.

A washed up actor to me is someone like Erik Estrada, William Baldwin, Corey Haim, Jennifer Beels. These actors used to be somebody and now their only starring roles are in 3 am movies on Cinemax.
