I do not concur. I think Bullock is a good, competent actress. Sure she's no
Meryl Streep, (I mean who is?) but her performances make her movies generally
watchable.
But here's what I don't get.
Dawn Taylor, Andy "The Shawshank redemption", and Matt Nania have repeatedly
said over and over in these newsgroups how Bullock is a major, major draw, (and
her movies don't even make $60 million) and that her salary should be $20
million+ like the male actors like Tom Cruise.
They also talked about how 'Hope Floats' and 'Forces of Nature' were huge hits,
when in fact, they were barely hits.
But on the other hand, Dawn, Andy, and Matt were the same people who kept on
saying that 'Patch Adams' and 'You've Got Mail' were Oscar worthy.
Go figure their tastes.

I think she's the current "best actress to always star in crappy films."
Wonderful actress, horrible roles.

I like Sandra Bullock. I think she's a good actor. I do NOT think she's in Jodie
Fosters class as an actress. I think the part of Clarice Starling would have
overwhelmed her. Maybe in another 6 or 7 years.

I don't really see Meryl Streep as a point of reference for anything. Though
heralded as one of the greatest actresses of our time, she really isn't
anything special. A great actor is one who can make you forget that they are
an actor, and Streep has never acieved this. Every film performance she has
ever given has come across as "Meryl Streep speaks linesthat someone wlse
wrote." She speaks the lines very well, mind you, but has never trully become
a character, in my opinion. I'm not saying that every character she has played
is exactly the same, but any of her roles could have certainly been played as
well, or better, by a different actress.
Just my 2 cents.

that was directed at the actress. Be interesting to read some of the

I think the whole thing about 'acting ability' is really hard to be
objective about. Usually, you either identify with an actor/tress possibly
because you enjoy their movies or characters, or you don't. It's hard to say
that a popular performer 'shouldn't' be popular. More accurate to simply say
you don't care for her. Personally, I don't care for Julia Roberts but a lot
of people out there must.

Tom Cruise is a better actor than most people give him credit for. Yes, he
uses his smile a little too much every now and then, but after seeing Eyes
Wide Shut for the third time I must say that he did a fantastic job
portraying all the right emotions. It is a very calculated performance
(thanks to Kubrick, no doubt).
But, like you said, his best performance was in Rain Man, where he kind of
left his operatic acting style behind him. Of course, it came back in fine
form in Interview With Vampire, where it was used to the character's
advantage.

I agree that occasionally you can see Tom Cruise "ACTING", but in
INterview with the Vampire he was great. And he was great in Jerry
MGuire (sp?) and in Mission Impossible. But ever since I heard that
they use some sort of voice synthasizer to make his voice seem less
squeeky, his voice always seem abnormally deep to me. anyone else
notice that?

One of her best pre-stardom performances is in Bogdanovich's The Thing

She does a good job in "The Vanishing" opposite Kiefer Sutherland, although
it's just a supporting role - wish she'd had a bigger part in that one. I'd
like to see her that pre-fame way again - a little more understated and
softer - and a lot less the smiley, feel-goody, toe-wiggly and ain't-I-cute
way she's cast sometimes. I'd be happy if she dropped the romantic comedy
shtick for a few films and softened her nervous-energy edges just a bit.

It's Dermot Mulroney (always get those names confused myself :-)). I LOVE
that movie, I've seen it a bunch of times. It is so full of heart, but not
schmaltzy and cutesy. The characters are just likeable and interesting, and
the acting is soft and understated. I can't say enough good things about it.
On a side note: I was watching David Letterman on TV a few years ago, and
Sandra Bullock was the guest. She talks to Dave about how she had been on a
trip with her friend Samantha Mathis. In the middle of that conversation I
decide to check what's on the other channels. The first channel I switch to
is showing "The thing called love", and it's in the middle of a scene with
Sandra Bullock and Samantha Mathis. It freaked me out.

Yes, I enjoyed it as well, John. It's far from a great film, but I
really liked Bogdanovich's atmospheric direction, the music numbers and
the acting. River Phoenix (in one of his two last films) already had
this drug problem, which is probably one of the reasons why he is a bit
weaker here than usual. (The list of his brilliant performances contains
"Running on Empty", "My Own Private Idaho", "Dogfight" and "Stand by
Me".) Still, he is even quite good in Bogdanovich's picture. I think,
the best performance in THE THING CALLED LOVE comes from Mathis, but
Bullock is also good.

I just saw a trailer on HBO for "Practical Magic" which just made want
to clarify that although I do love HER in everything she has done, I
don't like every movie she has done. "Practical Magic" was one of the

Boy, now I have to chime in. I'm not a huge fan of either actress
- Bullock almost always plays the same geek girl in every movie (I haven't
seen many of her later films, so maybe she's changed) and I'm not overly
attracted to Julia Roberts, although she can act. Still, I can see a
movie with the three of them stranded in space or something and I think of
that story about the mule that starved to death because it coudln't decide
between two equally tasty looking stacks of hay.

I guess neither of you have ever seen BORN ON THE 4TH OF JULY,
Cruise's best performance. He CAN act, and is a brilliant actor at
that.

listed of course, look to magnolia. it's an excellent bit of
self-mockery as well.

movie out of being grateful to the director or writer of part 1, since
they are the reason she became famous. I actually think that she's good
playing the girl next door type of roles. Like the movie Hope Floats
she was really good in that movie. She did a good job showing the
complications of a mother-daughter relationship.

accepts terrible movies to do, that's why she's not getting much
recognition for it. But her upcoming movie 28 DAYS looks good. Well she's
always been good in comedy films, but doing Hope Floats is one of her good
decisions.
