Even if they were OK films (and they really weren't ) her role in them was terrible, she was just there to scream and show flesh and be the one-dimensional love interest.
It was such an awful timeline, coming as they did just after an Oscar nomination.
I see your point but De Niro was Oscar nominated last year for Silver Linings Playbook, a movie i thoroughly enjoyed and he was very good in!
Not seen that, might try and buy a DVD on ebay. Last Robert De Niro film i enjoyed was Everybody's Fine, in fact it was the last De Niro film i saw, enjoyed it though.
Keanu Reeves, from the heights of Point Break, The Martix, Bill & Ted, Speed, declined through stinkers like Johnny Mnemonic and The Day the Earth Stood Still, to I'm not even sure what the last film he even made was.
Thing is he is like Bill Murray and will only do a film if he wants to or likes the sound of it.

She was in Loaded Weapon 1 and could have gone on to do more acting but she started her own business and had a family and she writes books and does motivational things and exersize stuff as well I think.
Her business rakes in a lot of money so I doubt she misses the acting too much.
Kevin Spacey, I wouldn't say the quality of his acting has suffered but considering the films that made him a household name, American Beauty, Seven and L.A confidential. He hasn't made anything particularly noteworthy since.
He was stunning in the recent House of Cards series (not a movie, I appreciate).
Any one who thinks De Niro's acting has gone terminal must be in cuckoo land
he has made some of the greatest movies in History
he is great at the whole range from Gangsters to Comedys - so a few of his latest movies have not done well at the box office
Bruce Willis has not made anything remotely resembling a half decent film in a lot of years and I dont ever see him hitting the heights again despite his many millions in the bank
Come on. There was a string of films he had that had a lot of people wondering if he had lost it. The early 2000's he basically made crap and crap only: 15 Minutes, Rocky & Bullwinkle, Showtime, Godsend, Shark Tale, Hide & Seek, The Bridge Of San Luis Rey. Horrible, horrible movies.
Sure he's made some much better stuff recently but that doesn't excuse things like: The Big Wedding, Freelancers, New Year's Eve, Stone, What Just Happened and the crappy Focker sequels.

so your actually telling me that you think Robert De Niro's acting career is Terminally damaged!!
there is not a single actor in the World who would not cut a toe off to act alongside him
there is not an actor or actress that has ever lived that has made nothing but stellar movies
but the people who think De Niro is finished need to have a rethink

Indeed. Crikey, he's 70! Maybe he's bloody well tired of intense films. I'm sure I read somewhere a few years back that he is really enjoying doing comedies and having a laugh. Can't blame him for that. He has done more than his fair share...I just bumped into Once Upon a Time in America. Talk about intense! I certainly don't think anyone could consider his career as being in ruins now just because he's not churning out Raging Bull: the geriatric years...

Wow. Why quote me when you didn't mention a single thing i said. You can stick your fingers in your ears and sing "la la la la la, i am not listening" all you want but face facts, he's made a boatload of crap in the last 2 decades. Is he still one of the best actors going around? Yes, but he has many chinks in his armor nowadays.
Considering how young he was in the 80s you have to wonder what happened to Eddie Murphy in the 90s - he should have owned that decade, pre-Will Smith.
Excellent call.
Eddie was so huge in the 80s, but then he certainly went into terminal decline.
It wasn't so much his acting that was an issue, it was some of the films he did.
I understand she was ill but Emily Lloyd was predicted to be a big named actress and then there is Jane March and Julia Ormond did a couple of big movies in the 1990s.
Ormond has a steady career in US TV- she's been
in CSI: NY , Law and Order and Mad Men over the
last few years.
Jane March's only recent film of note was the Clash of The
Titans remake- otherwise it's been mediocre
TVMs for her.
A lot of former film actors take roles on TV if the
film roles ain't coming through- Jeff Goldblum did
a stint on "Law & Order: Criminal Intent".

Kurt Russell is busy playing Elvis
and Bill Murray well he's ghostbusting somewhere lol

No, and no, but sort of.
Marty's mum was played by Lea Thompson, Elizabeth Shue played his girlfriend (so spent much of the later two films asleep on a porch).
Lea Thompson was the one in All the Right Moves with Tom Cruise and not Shue.
However Shue was with him in Cocktail.
Not seen that, might try and buy a DVD on ebay. Last Robert De Niro film i enjoyed was Everybody's Fine, in fact it was the last De Niro film i saw, enjoyed it though.
As well as the others mentioned in this thread, I thought she was very good in Copycat.
Thing is he is like Bill Murray and will only do a film if he wants to or likes the sound of it.
De Nio was great in that
After 'See no evil, hear no evil' he did mostly TV movies. Maybe it was his choice. I hope so.
Such a naturally funny guy and imo a great actor. He should have been nominated for an Oscar for 'Young Frankenstein'
Blazing saddles should have got an Oscar!

I used to like the guy but those fecking mobile phone adverts he's in are beyond awful.
Blame Bernie Madoff.
I watched a recent interview of his, and it has been his choice. His simply didn't like the scripts he was getting.

Please God it stays that way.
