She's lovable. That's why. The one i think don't need to have a movie career is Vin Diesel. Oh now you want to start a debate.

I would much rather see her be a Hollywood darling than Julia "Horseface" Roberts.

I can't stand Julia Roberts. Truly cannot. Other than Duplicity earlier this year her career has been kind of quiet as of late.

Two years later but I can't let this sit. Gwyneth Paltrow looks like a demented fucking beaver.

I think this common sentiment sums it up:

Sandra Bullock
Julia "Horseface" Roberts
Gwyneth Paltrow

Bullock is a chick guys dig as well as the ladies. The other two, not so much.

Well, it's not like the actors we're willing to forgo their usual salaries to make the movie. I reckon a third or half of the budget was for stars Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullcok.

I like Paltrow, less so as an actress (though she actually isn't bad) and more so as a seemingly stuck up bitch who thinks it's hilarious that her kids have an Uncle Jay-Z and know every word to 99 problems. It amuses me, she seems pleasant enough and was in one of my favorite movies of the decade (Royal Tenenbaums)

Never understood the appeal of Roberts.

Re: Why Does Sandra Bullock Still Have A Movie Career?

From the Hollywood perspective, it's because the films she's in draw an audience and make money. Bullock has been not one, but TWO moneymakers this year.

From the audience perspective, it's because Bullock chooses safe roles in movies that are not challenging or unpredictable. Both The Proposition and The Blind Side pretty much write themselves once you know the basic premise.

I thought that Michelle Monaghan was going to take Bullock's place, but Monaghan may have to wait a bit longer than expected...

Paltrow is a better actress (not saying she's amazing cuz I've seen so few of her work), though her placement in films has been mum for sometime due to her wanting to be a mom...which is cool.

Bullock is predictable as hell.
Roberts is way overrated, and still doesn't deserve that Oscar that should've gone to Burstyn.

Or better yet,

I didn't think it was possible, but that is a horrible photo of Michelle Monaghan.

She wasn't in The Proposition, so I think you meant to say 28 Days Later.

I've always liked her, I love a lot of her roles. Age shouldnt matter she still brings in money and gets roles. Shes more talented then a lot of other actresses out there.
