Russell Crowe is a good actor

That's bollocks... Crowe is alright, Paltrow can be very good indeed, as can Ryder, Zellweger has been apalling but also superb, McGregor was terrible in Star Wars, where he was miscast, pretty much everything else he's been in he's been good.
Paltrow's rubbish so is Ryder
I think that's a pretty fair assessment.
William Shatner is either very good or very bad
I know what you are saying
"Weather man" was excellent.
Also "Red Rock West" with Cage and Lara Flynn Boyle, I love that movie.
But one of his best is Wild At Heart.
Crowe is a brilliant actor.
I reckon Brad Pitt, Leanardo Di Caprio and even to some extent Tom Cruise are better actors than they get credit for. The way the media paints them is that they are entertainers and media-whores first, and acting is just their trade. I used to go along with that, but over the last few years I've actually gone over the films they've made and realised that their skills as actors are under-rated.
Especially Pitt. Basically actings version of David Beckham IMO. Better known for his looks and simply being famous, but he's actually a bloody good actor.

AND
Raising Arizona
Adaptation
Leaving Los Vegas
etc... He has done a lot of films and a lot of them have been good, people look at a couple of poorly acted and directed blockbusters and ignore the plethora of less mainstream work that Cage has done. At times he can be excellent, at times he can be truely woeful. It is unfair to just say he is bad.
William.............................................Shatner...is, er, er..............a..very.........bad, ah, er, actoooor.
Don't no if it has been said but after watching the movie called Body Shots which is more shit than movie, Tara Reid certainly must be on this list
He was rubbish in all of those. Even if some of those aren't total rubbish.
He plays himself over and over again. It is like watching Armie playing "different" characters. If he hadn't been part of a powerful Hollywood family he wouldn't have ever got anywhere.
That may or may not be true, there are shit loads of crap actors who arent from powerful families in Hollywood, however there is no doubt he has used being of Copola blood to his advantage
Hard to think of one who is quite as bad as him yet keeps getting hired.
I suppose Travolta is close but he does occasionally pull off a decent performance. Very occasionally.
Yeah probably at a rate of about 1 and 10
Jerry O'Connell another 'star' on Body Shots, is another certain for this list
Agree to disagree
Thats big piece of bollocks.
Crowe is brilliant.Paltrow and Zellweger[although I hate her] have done some really good roles.The other 2 are quite decent.
It was actually good.
You are just saying that because you hate Cage and he acted in it.
Glad someone else can see that. He says that Cage only ever plays himself and to an extent i am able to sympathise with that, but to rubbish everything he does is a bit single-minded. For example, I cited Adaptation as a good performance from Cage and was given the above response despite the fact that he portrays twins, both of which have a completely different personalities. So in essence, Cage must either have mutliple perosnality disorder in real life, or be an occasionally good actor.

You fall in your own trap there by saying that certain actors get sucked in to certain roles, and then slating Adam Sandler for exactly that. Until you have watched "Reign Over Me", you don't get to post on the internet again. Your opinions don't matter from this point forward... well until you've seen the before mentioned film.
Di Caprio?
But surprised by that?
His work in Blood Diamond, as well as The Aviator was pretty good..
Same with The Departed..
Not seen as much of Cage as I'd have liked, but I thought he was really good in Face-Off
I don't know about any of his other works..but..
in Boston Legal, he's absolutely brilliant!
It was actually good.

No. I have enjoyed films with him in them. That film was dire.
Cage had the charisma of a corpse as he mumbled his way thorugh to an utterly pointless end. 2 dimensional would be an undeserved complement. Amazingly he made the worsty of dire material. Quite a trick.
He has got a bit better in that he wasn't totally rubbish in Blood Diamond or The Departed despite them both being deeply ordinary films.
But despite the promise of What's Eating Gilbert grape he has been almost universally rubbish.
And Face/Off was the most laughably woeful effort. It raised silliness to new levels that even Mission To Mars couldn't exceed.
I thought The Departed was pretty good
Reign Over Me wasn't that great. Obviously a huge step up from his usual pap mind.
It wasn't terrible but Jack Nicholson's overacting damaged the film significantly and it also suffered from being a pale immitation of the original.
Well worth watching though.
Rob Schneider. By a country mile.
I only vaguely remember adaptation but I do remember critics wanking over it and wondering what the fuss was when I saw it. A typical one "joke" Hollywood film convinced of it's own cleverness is my recollection. I seem to remember finding the twins thing very silly indeed.
Another one who doesn't even try to act.
Not reading the whole thread, if you disagreed with me, you're wrong.
And how on earth could I forget Jonathan Rhys Meyers? If that's how you spell his name. Big on name, small on talent.

Jude Law angers me for no apparent reason. He has a face I wish to burn with acid.
Steve Buscemi should also break off all contact with Adam Sandler - it does his career no good at all.

Brilliant South African accent in Blood Diamond. What the hell was all that about?
To be a bit harsh it did seem to wander around the continent a bit, between Zimbabwe and SA. Someone once said (maybe in here) that there was some sort of explanation that didn't involve him getting it wrong but I forget what it was.
But that aside he was far better than he has been for ...... erm ..... ever. Normally I want to punch him but I didn't in this one.
The only reason he has made it this far is his friendship with Adam Sandler, and all the good supporting roles he got because of it
