Explains a lot. Doesn’t excuse his utterly tragic over acting in some of the films. One film I managed to get through was Grandiose (sp) He played some sort of creepy as **** husband but the over acting made what was meant to be a suspense film into something more comedy 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where Cusack plays a psychopath who is in prison, whom Kidman falls for. Sorry John I didn’t mean to write a rather blunt “ no “ reply I was actually going out when I messaged you so didn’t have time to look it up .

Wtf happens to him? Yes I really like him too . He’s a really good actor and really awful too at times which is hard to accomplish ! I think he had just had hard luck in chosen crap roles .

JudyJudyJudy Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 (edited) “ Peggy sue got married “ is really underrated . It’s similar to “ back to the future “ Kathleen Turner gets hit on head and goes back to her teenage high school years . Then she has to decide whether she will married her high school sweetheart ( Nicola Cage) who she did ( but this time she may not ) as she knows he turns out to be a waster but a lovable one at that time . It’s a lovely film about what you would do if you went back in time and what would you change or not ? Very thighs provoking as well as funny . There’s a great moving scene when she meets her dead grand parents again . A great film Edited January 6, 2021 by JamesM48 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Les Izemore Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 Late to this but I always thought U Turn (1997) was a hidden gem that not many people had heard of. Directed by Oliver Stone and with Sean Penn in the lead role, it’s the story of a small time hustler driving to Vegas to pay off Russian gangsters when his car breaks down in a small hick town in the Arizona desert. The townsfolk are a strange and dodgy bunch and everything starts going wrong almost immediately. It’s also got a great cast. https://m.imdb.com/title/tt0120399/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never going to win any awards but good enjoyable action films. Think they were both on Netflix. Seconded. I completely harmless action movie. I have a soft spot for the film because I ended up attending the premiere of it in Leicester Square and managed to make a nuisance of myself on the red carpet, meeting Ben Affleck and Anna Kendrick and having a brief chat. I pointed out to them that I'm a real accountant so I was looking forward to a damn fine movie. The 6 foot 5 bouncer who I also had a chat with was a trainee accountant which, I think, was the lucky coincidence that stopped me from being thrown out into the night!

Greedy Jambo Posted January 7, 2021 Share Posted January 7, 2021 Ava on netflix, get's 5.4/10 on IMDb so is underrated in my eyes. Easy watching action movie with a few decent actors thrown in. Doesn't drag on either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luckyBatistuta Posted January 7, 2021 Share Posted January 7, 2021 Ok, the ending was pish, but ‘What Lies Beneath’ is a decent on the edge of your seat horror. More about what you don’t see and what might happen, than just blood and guts. Only got 6.6 on IMDB, but I think it’s slightly higher than that.
