Re: Star power

Perhaps the reason that the "auteur overwhelms all else for some posters" is the state of acting in films today. In the list of actors you have drawn up I see only one who is working today: Sean Penn, an actor who I have not been excited by since his early performances in "Fast Times at Ridgemont High," "Bad Boys," and "Racing with the Moon." There are many actors and actresses who can excite with one or two performances. Yet look at the way Grant changed from his early roles with Mae West to the star of "To Catch a Thief" and "North by Northwest." How many actors and actresses improve on their first impression today?
