Ok but then all the Indy movies would need subtitles.

I'm a fan of the man. For a long while he would do a good movie and then a bad one. When he's in a bad one, he knows it and goes all out with overacting.

Lately though his career hasn't been as balanced though his cameo in Grindhouse was awesome.

The Ant Bully
The Wicker Man*
World Trade Center
Ghost Rider
Next
National Treasure: Book of Secrets
Bangkok Dangerous
Knowing
G-Force

*This movie is a masterpiece and those who saw it know why.

Hopefully this will bring back the balance. And I mean, he's being directed by Herzog!

As for the thread topic:

I think that Tom Cruise should not play any more roles like the slick-cocky guy. He should do more like Vincent in Collateral.

Tommy Lee Jones should never again play a humorless fart in dogged pursuit of someone.

Adam Sandler should never again play an idiot man-child prone to fits of rage.

Will Ferrell should never again play a clueless goof in a silly costume.

I didn't realize he was that old, but then it has been quite some time since I had that thought.

With the exception of Lord of War, this man hasn't made a good movie since 1996-97. When he was in The Rock, Face/Off, and Con Air.

Someone held up "Con Air" as a good Nicolas Cage movie?

I don't think Gwynneth Paltrow or Sarah Jessica Parker should ever play a role that's supposed to call for an attractive woman again.
