Joni Wiljami 1,206 Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 This just came to my mind when I wanted to see The Gravity, the special effects and the award winning haunting music. But...I just can't because I learned Sandra Bollocks is in there and I just can't stand her. Not that bad as the queen of them all: Maryl Streep. Other ones may occur to my mind later because now I'm too upset after typing HER name.Some actors, whose films I automatically will skip:- Will Smith- Bruce Willis- Brendan Fraser- Adam SandlerAll of them, no charisma, full of themselves, too obvious; never surprising...etc... argh!Discuss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeinAR 1,949 Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 So Horner you won't watch Meryl Streep, the greatest actress of any age. The actress who gave cinema's finest single performance ever? You're saying she has no charisma never surprising? I'm sorry but even though it's against the rules I'm laughing. Sandra in Gravity is great. Without her performance Gravity has no gravity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quintus 5,399 Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 But hang on - doesn't Hornist tend to feel major indifference towards most movies in general anyway?Anyway, my answer is basically anyone with a face you want to punch.The polar opposite of that criteria being Dianne Wiest, who has the most adorable movie face ever.

Quintus 5,399 Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 I don't find her 'sexy' in that sense either. She's a beautiful woman, I think; but I just want to give her a cuddle like she's my favorite aunt or something daft like that. Just watch at her in The Lost Boys! Absolutely adorable.

Meryl is sadly the greatest over actor in the history. Nothing natural there.If Sandra is great in Gravity good for her, maybe i'll check that out.Is that the truth, TheGreateye doesn't like DDL?

Incanus 5,714 Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 Off the top of my head two main offenders because they are bland and dull dish waterKeanu Reeves, you could replace him with a cardboard figure and it would convey more human emotion and nuanceOrlando Bloom (only good role he ever did was Legolas and that is because he doesn't have to emote so much, which fits his expressionless face)And then the other end of the spectrum the one and onlyNicolas Cage: no charisma but goes beyond the pale with his performances. Just crazy in a bad way.George Clooney because he doesn't play a role as much as he plays George Clooney in every role he does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clooney's playing Clooney just rubs me the wrong way for some reason. It sometimes works when the character he is playing has something in common with Clooney's roguish charm but when he is playing something different he feels lost in the part.Nicolas Cage: no charisma but goes beyond the pale with his performances.

It sometimes works when the character he is playing has something in common with Clooney's roguish charm but when he is playing something different he feels lost in the part.For sure, that's why 'STARS' often are very fuzzy about taking roles not tailored to their personalities, Clooney tends to be a bit more adventurous in that regard. Though i give him credit that in a lot of those roles he's just playing to get the movie off the ground with his star appeal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought he was pretty wooden in the otherwise excellent MANCHURIAN CANDIDATE, but the film where he was utterly punchable was THE LONG AND THE SHORT AND THE TALL.
