But I also can't get past John Travolta (or John Revolta as we used to call him in my young days). I think he's over-rated. If he makes 10 movies I'll find maybe 1 or 2 decent (and not necessarily due to his being in the movie). This is obviously my taste. I did not like Pulp Fiction at all, Face Off was horribly stupid IMO.
John Wayne (I'll get a few remarks for this one) is another. I just find he way overacted his roles and all seemed the same. Either that or I just don't like his characters.
Nicolas Cage always seem to play the same part, so I expect the same character no matter the movie. I kinda like him, but only in certain movies (need I mention Face Off again?).
As for females; Nicole Kiddman (sp?). Can't stand her at all in any way. I'll try to get past this as I want to eventually see Bewitched and hopefully enjoy it. I do think she's a great pick for a witch as I personally think she looks like one (no, I don't find her attractive).
Follow Ups:
...I'd wait to catch Bewitched when it arrives on cable.I'd hate for a fellow inmate to actually fork over $$$ to see this mess.
Kidman is the best thing in it - you have been warned.
I think Travolta was quite good in Primary Colors, Get Shorty and Pulp Fiction. Those I didn't mind paying money to see.
Travolta was quite good in A Civil Action and Primary Colors. I haven't bothered to check out any of his more recent stuff such as Swordfish, Face Off etc.
Civil Action, agreed. Never even heard of Primary Colors. I'll have to rent it soon. Thanks.
BTW, I didn't really like Swordfish either. It wasn't bad... the car was the best part to me. :)
Face Off.... not to give the story away, but two guys (JT and N Cage) exchange faces (Travolta unvoluntarily). Cage with a face and voice only exchanged has "you-know-what" with JT's wife and she doesn't notice it's not her husband???? I mean c'mon, Cage is about 180#, Travolta probably 220#, totally different physique. The movie was bad before that point, barely watchable after IMO.
