TV & Film Stuff in movies and on TV that bothers you

Nicolas Cage was good in Raising Arizona. I also remember liking Lord of War, Matchstick Men, and Adaptation. And I'm a sucker for treasure hunt/puzzle type movies so I enjoyed National Treasure; it was fun.
But he has definitely done some pretty bad movies, too.

I liked The Wicker Man... he got burned up.


Kevin Costner doesn't even have the decency to make a film where he suffers and dies. :p
 
lol, I think this guy hit the nail on the head:

Kevin Costner is the opposite of Nicholas Cage: he’s the really bad actor that takes himself sooo seriously. He thinks he’s great, has an actual following- I won a ******* Oscar for Dances With Wolves guys, remember? Costner’s crimes against good acting aren’t all that incendiary. He’s just two-dimensional, typecasts himself as the attractive, rugged, slow-talking good-guy type, delivers his lines flatly, and only makes movies when he could really use another ten million in da bank. Maybe I hate him because there’re a lot of people out there—esp. horny divorcees—who actually like him. Maybe I hate him because he’s so humorless. Maybe I hate him because he’s a little too politically active for my taste. Maybe I hate him for this scene, because well, a part of me LOVES him for this scene. Ugh, the hate/love—I can’t handle it! Horny divorcees, I hear you! Kevin Costner: best actor of all time??

He has some funny things to say about Cage and Reeves too. :p
 
^^He was such a bad choice to play Anakin. Ugh.

Just one of the many things that ruined those movies. :( Though to be fair, he didn't write his own lines and they were very, very bad. All of them.

I wish they hadn't dragged Natalie Portman into it, but on the other hand I'm glad at least she was there...

I too am neutral on Costner. I don't know that I've ever watched any of his movies other than Dances with Wolves though. I kind of like Cage - ther's a campy quality about him that I find kind of amusing/interesting.
