Cruise is usually good in everything he does, even though his personal life is a circus....I have no prob w/ him
DeNiro bad in "Meet the Parents/Fockers"? What are you, 13 yrs old? The man is a legend and can act circles around the best of them.
How about Bill Pullman/Bill Paxton? They act the same goddam way in each movie and it's hard to tell which one is which....[/QUOTE]
Cruise is not usually good in everything he does? He's just the same old character - Tom Cruise - with his usual clause of the 'fast running' scene in nearly every picture. We get it, Tom. You can run fast. He was good in 'Born on the Fourth of July' and 'Magnolia' but he needs to vary his roles more.
De Niro is bad in those 'Meet the parent/fockers' - he ain't funny. So that's not much use in a 'comedy'. Mind you, the films were very poor - a stinking pile of shit to be more precise, so maybe De Niro shouldn't shoulder all the blame. Don't get me wrong, he is a good actor - just not in comedies.
As for Bill Paxton and Bill Pullman, I think the former is the better actor but having the sharing the same first name and having a lastname that begins with 'P' can really throw some people......
