Treat was friggin' awesome in 'Things To Do In Denver Before You're Dead' and another which was just put on Sdvd a year ago... 'Prince Of The City'. Underrated actor for sure. By the way... Tomei? She's a BABE!!!

Gershon's best flick to me... 'Bound'.

Then it might be good news to you that Lindsay Lohan and Samantha Ronson broke up. Ol' Sam could probably use some comforting these days.

Way to much info there keep it to yourself and in your pants

After Marisa won the best supporting actress oscar for "My Cousin Vinny" Hollywood decided to upgrade her to leading lady status. She made several movies after which all flopped. She disappeared from the scene for a few years before returning a couple of years ago with "In the Bedroom". It was another supporting role but she again was nominated for an Oscar. She now appears in another acclaimed supporting role in "The Wrestler" that possibly will garner her another Oscar nod. Actors and/or their agents, and sometime Hollywood, need to know when being a supporting player isn't always a bad thing. I think her star would be brighter had she stuck with the really good supporting roles instead of the really bad leads.

I recommend renting Untamed Heart with Christian Slater, she's pretty cute in that movie.

thedarkangel1975 · 01-10-2009, 04:48 AM

I think Marisa's career suffered ever since she did that horrible thriller movie with Keanu the Watcher

Why walk out? It's dark in the theater.

Your comments are solid, very thought provoking.
Some actors, no matter what, will always be supporting actors.

Some can carry a film. Others, obviously cannot.

Spot-on wayneorfl . . .
