Tom Cruise——even Lauren Bacall said he’s not an actor....she should know.

I agree with your assessment of their acting abilities, yet I like several of their movies.

I actually love Mark Wahlberg and think he is a decent actor. I agree with the rest of your list. I love Arnold’s movies though. And who doesn’t love “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off”?

John Wayne was great in Red River and The Searchers and pretty darn good in Stagecoach, the Cavalry Trilogy and The Shootist. Problem is he got type cast a lot later in his career.

It's not his greatest acting but if you want a really fun movie check out McClintock.

Except for Schindler’s List, I find Liam Neeson plays the very same character in movie, after movie, after movie.

I cannot stand Owen Wilson.
Horrible actor. Same person in every movie.

Julia Roberts plays the same person in every movie as well.

I sort of like Wahlberg too. Although a disturbing movie, he was great in Boogie Nights. Just last night I caught Deep Water Horizon on HBO. I don't know how accurate it was as to the real event but he was good as was Kurt Russell.

Agreed! I don't think he would have any success if not for his parents being in the business.

Double Dittos. But I thought he was pretty good in TEAM AMERICA. ;-)

Saw them all and enjoyed McClintock, too.

Probably would have liked his Davy Crockett more if I hadn’t seen Disney’s first. :-)

Tom Cruise showed his acting range in “Born on the Fourth of July” and “Vanilla Sky.” He was funny in “Tropic Thunder” (imitating Harvey Weinstein) as well.

Well to be a MumbleBumbler he will need to refer to YouTube posters in sexual terms, every post, all the time.

Why you got to be such a fag like that?

Mark Wahlberg in The Fighter & Boogie Nights was great.

Well, the MSM Whore / Blog Pimp cat fight on the forum street corner gets old, MSM Whore.

You have been turning Free Republic into a ghetto with your unabated sexual epithets for about a decade. Nothing you have ever railed about has been as offensive as the rhetoric you use.

Oh no, I'm a ho!

Because I'm just that powerful, and us hoes belong in dem ghettos. Yo.

Nothing you have ever railed about has been as offensive as the rhetoric you use.

I'll start tossing kisses and flowers at the blogpimps.
I'm sure that'll elicit plenty of behavior change, yup.

Thanks for the constructive criticism, come back soon.
