ZombieKitten said:

I've seen Samantha in the following films:

Morvern Callar
Minority Report
In America
The Libertine
Expired
Control
Elizabeth: The Golden Age
Synecdoche, New York

Not all good movies, but good performances by her every time.

I should get hubby over here, he think she's a great actress (she shows her boobs in a wet t-shirt pretty often)


oh and also overrated: Melanie Griffith and Meg Ryan (another sweetheart actress )

Overrated (but very handsome)





underrated

This is all I can think of right now.

Overrated - Jennifer Aniston

Underrated - Sanaa Lathan, Gabrielle Union and Angela Bassett (at times)

I only saw
Minority Report
Enduring Love (?)
Code 46

ZombieKitten said:

I forgot I also saw her in Jesus' Son. Her films are hard to find if you're not part of Netflix so I make a point to see them in the theater while I still have a chance. I'll never see Code 46 or Enduring Love on cable or in the video rental store.

ZombieKitten said:

I refuse to watch a movie in which Will Smith acts. Tom Cruise is almost there too.

Graycap23 said:

That and Seinfeld battle it out for me for the worst TV show of all time.

noimageatall said:

Indeed. And even more overrated than her acting is her looks, in my opinion! Sarah Jessica Parker too!

Moonbeam said:

WHAAAAAT?!

Blasphemous

thekidsgirl said:

I LOVED this movie we had it at our local video store

I haven't read through all the posts, but some of my choices are:

Overrated:

1) Leonardo DiCaprio
2) Jennifer Aniston (Just don't understand why she's famous.... )
3) Ben Affleck


Underrated:

1) John Malkovich (Fantastic in every movie I've seen him in.)
2) Angela Bassett
3) Christopher Walken
4) Steve Buscemi
5) Evan Ross ( )

I think she's pretty underrated as an actress...



She was a theatre actress for a long time, and thats even a plus. I saw her in a skit from Richard Pryor's show where acted her ass off.

And speaking of underrated theatre gradaute ladies, here're afew that I think didn't get their fair chance:

Margaret Avery


Melba Moore


Rosalind Cash


Lonette McKee


Anne Bancroft(For somebody who worked with the big dogs, she sure didn't get her fair treatment)
