Bedtime Stories - *very* uneven ... but the kids absolutely loved it. For my wife and I ... 2/5 at most.
It was at least a 3/5, just for the fact that his characters name was Skeeter Bronson. :lol:

@bkreugar: I'm looking forward to seeing this one and I'm not a big Tarentino fan. What was wrong with Brad Pitt's acting?
Haha, I wonder if that's true of Johnny Depp. I mean, just compare all the characters he's played with the exception of 21 Jump Street. Weirdness ensured. Then again, I'm also inclined to believe that it may simply be an affinity towards certain types of roles.They simply play themselves and look good.
Thanks, bk. Doesn't seem like it would be a problem for the movie, anyway.
I agree a lot of actors and actresses are pretty stereotypical, and always play, if not themselves, very two-dimensional repetitive roles based on their appearance and other forms of typecasting, but I guess I associate Pitt with more off the wall stuff--ever since I saw him in Twelve Monkeys (and Johnny Depp who I usually don't even recognize outside of his Captain Jack Sparrow outfit) because neither one seems that way at all to me. Tom Cruise,now--I think despite how his roles tend to vary, he's always playing himself. But I don't follow films that much so I may be missing a pattern with Pitt.

I don't get that ... ?
Anyway, there wasn't a single reasonable thing about the premise, the characters were paper thin and not sympathetic in any way, and Adam Sandler is really a terrible actor ... I thought I was being generous ...
I saw The Taking of Pelham 123. Pretty decent movie. Nothing spectacular. I was expecting worse.
Hard to compete with the brilliant original with Matthau and Shaw, and the good remake with Olmos.
Watchman - I would call this an all-around disappointment. Too long, paced poorly, drawn out, too little characterization for all of the interminable talking, gratuitous violence changed from the book just to look kewl ... 2/5
I didn't see the original, but I did hear people say that it's much better. So I went to this one with lower expectations. But Denzel Washington and Travolta were actually pretty good. Travolta really managed to look menacing.
lol ... you poor guy .... did it go away in the meantime?...and a very annoying blue penis that just wouldn't go away....
I actually think Tom Cruise has played very diverse roles and often against character *snip*
It's true that many of his roles are action hero hollowood fluff crap - but he's got a lot more range than many "stars".
But that's just me.
