If you had a brain you would take it pout and piss on it you need to watch the movie next time you go to the movies if you go at all.
If the writing is no good and the cutting of the mivie is no good guess what no good movie....duh!!!!

I have no idea where you get off bad mouthing Robert DeNiro and Al Pacino like that. They are legends in the movie industry and they have a joke of a "journalist", and I use that term loosely, bad mouthing their career. Why don't you get a job that suits you better, like the guy who hands out paper towels in the bathroom but your not even good enough for that job either, and leave the writing up to someone more decent.

oh please eddie, DeNiro and Pacino have been phoning it in for 10 years now, they don't do anything challenging anymore and live off their names and reputations, NOT their craft. It's been sad to watch the crap they put their names on these days. Even a guy handing out towels in a bathroom could tell you these guys are cheese heads who do this for nothing more than a 20 million dollar paycheck. you're not an actor if you keep playing the same role, and suck at it more each time you go back. go watch goodfellas again and shut up, Yea, I'm talkin to you.

Dead on about Eddie Murray. Who would have thunk that the guy who once gave us "Raw" would end up being "Donkey" and doing movies like "Daddy Day Care"?
Oh, but I just can't agree about Harrison Ford. Kingdom of the Crystal Skull was a little disappointing, but no movie could live up to 19 years of expectations. But he still gave a worthy performance as Indy.

Apparently it has been decided that unless audiences see these same people in movies, they wont go to see these movies. What other reason could there be for paying so much money to these people? Anybody can memorize some lines, pretend to be this, that, or the other thing when the camera rolls. Any of us can do what they do. But John and Jane Q. Public just keep believing in this "masterful performance" BS................Random people at your grocery store, including you, can do anything they can do. Right now. Today.

Critiquing mega-stars on the wane from the safety and obvious anominity of a seldom seen blog.
And getting paid to whine about plummeting stars at that... good job for the lame, if you can get it.
Clubbing baby seals next? :<)

look these guies are legends all of them. age changes us all at one time or another. every actor/actress does bad movies at one time or another. who ever wrote this article just wants their name in lights. my point is this if you can do what they did acting in their prime to get the reputaition, then you can write this bull shit. because i see a want a be actor or actress that got denied anther screen test and now bashes others becasue they can get movies handed to them.

P.S.
The look, skill, craft, and presence are what attracts fans. A script would be helpful ...
Fans attract producer/Film Industry attention.
Good for everybody.
When your paycheck hits 10/15 million you become a product. You are packaged, developed, and sold with little input other than fighting for a bigger percentage and TV play rights.
Hollywood is like DC gotta clean house after a while.

Are all you people related to these guys or something? They're a bunch of over-the-hill actors; it's not like he's bad-mouthing Nelson Mandella here. Chill out, people.

You people need to calm down...these guys are good, but they do need to step back. All of them have had some bad movies lately. Also, Nick Cage needs to be on this list.

Agree w/Harrison Ford & Murphy...they used to be great. Disagree w/Gibson...you sure you're not letting his personal antics cloud your judgment about his movies? Apocalypto & Passion were extraordinary...pulse pounding, thought-provoking and intense. The only movies I could sit through where the language wasn't English; he proved if a movie is good it doesn't matter what language it's in. Costner makes good n' bad movies E.g. Swing Vote = Bad Mr. Brooks = Good Jack/Bobby D./Al/Joaquin...I'm still willing to give them a pass for now due to their past work...but they're not lookin' so good.

Well, the only reason Eddie Murphy is doing a bunch of family friendly movies is because he was caught with a male prostitute a while ago. Ever since then, he has done kid movies...the rest on this list just need to be very picky and do an occasional role every once in a while....Lucas needs to invent something else, Star Wars is like beating a dead horse..

DeNiro, Pacino and Nicholson are forbidden to trash, they are brilliant. Mel Gibson is also a great actor/director, his directed movies have gotten great reviews and he is shooting anew movie, where he is playing the maincharacter, so please don't trash him, check your facts.
The rest of the "trashing" i can understand, especially George Lucas who has done NOTHING since Star Wars than just shitty Star Wars-projects.

Eric Alt u are a retard.
the only guy on this list who deserves to be on this list is joaquin phoenix cuz hes a douche bag who needs to quit at life.
i mean come on r u kidding me, one of the 3 best actor in history are on this list.
i think nick cage does belong on here cuz his movies have been almost as retarded as his new hair style.
costner just needs 2 be smarter with the decisions of the roles he takes on.
oh yea and eddie murphy should have quit a long time ago. he was only good in shrek.

FYI G.Lucas isn't an actor...But freakin' Robert DeNiro!? Well, then I saw "Met the Fokkers" on DVD an hour ago and...ya, your right...he would probably get a boost from a tragic but fatal accident so we could all remember the guy in"Taxi driver" and "The Godfather". Everyone else I agree with, but what about Jim Carrey and Adam Sandler, both have gone waaaaay outlived their shelve lives!

Are you guys crazy? Jack Nicholson? He was incredible in The Departed!! Hes getting old, so I would understand if you ripped on the Bucket List a little, but definately don't put him on this list. And Phoenix will only get better with time, get some real writers who dont pander to the critics.
