KD in CA Posted June 10, 2008 Posted June 10, 2008 DC CabHere's Siskel and Ebert reviewing it: At the Movies Spoiler alert: They didn't like it. Wow, Paul Rodriguez and Marsha Warfield? That's right up there with Quicksilver on the classic 'C-list' ensemble list.
Bmwolf21 Posted June 10, 2008 Posted June 10, 2008 That was one that came to mind immediately when I saw this thread. The loss of Neeson hurts a bit, but the Dark Knight looks to have an equally solid cast, especially with Holmes out of the picture. This one also loses Watanabe and Rutger Hauer in addition to Neeson, but they do pick up Ledger and a couple others - Eric Roberts, Sabres' fan William Fichtner and Anthony Michael Hall - yeah, that's right, AMH. Katie Homes to Maggie G is just a lateral move, IMO.

Katie Homes to Maggie G is just a lateral move, IMO. Watanabe and Hauer probably combined for about 5 minutes of screen time, so its no real loss. Fichtner's screen time will probably be non-existant (if the trailer scene they released is indeed the start of the movie) and I really don't expect much screen time for Hall either. I think pretty much anything is a step up form Holmes. She added nothing to the first one and if nothing else, it removes that craziness from any potential marketing plans.
Steely Dan Posted June 10, 2008 Posted June 10, 2008 Wow, Paul Rodriguez and Marsha Warfield? That's right up there with Quicksilver on the classic 'C-list' ensemble list. Hey Max Gail and Bill Maher were in that too!
Mark Vader Posted June 10, 2008 Posted June 10, 2008 How about Saving Private Ryan: Tom Hanks Paul Giamatti Matt Damon Jeremy Davies (very, very underrated actor) Giovanni Ribisi Vin Diesel Dennis Farina Edward Burns Barry Pepper (another underrated actor) Ted Danson aj, I am greatly disappointed in you. You list Dennis Farina & Ted Danson who are in the movie for a combined 10 minutes, and you leave out Tom Sizemore!?

KnightRider Posted June 10, 2008 Posted June 10, 2008 It's a miniseries, but the original Lonesome Dove cast wasn't shabby - Robert Duvall (Oscar winner) Tommy Lee Jones (Oscar winner) Danny Glover Diane Lane (Oscar nominee) Robert Urich Fredrick Forrest (Oscar nominee) Rick Schroder Anjelica Huston (Oscar winner) Chris Cooper (Oscar winner)

You're absolutely right about this. I'll never forget when Batman Begins came out, and all the "entertainment experts" completely ignored the fact that this movie had one of the finest assembling of acting talent, and instead gushed over Katie Holmes getting married to Tom Cruise. I do'nt want to pick on Maggie Gyllenhall, but I just wish they would get rid of the female love interest in these movies. Batman is about saving a$$, not getting a$$. Unless they put Catwoman in the movie.

Hazed and Amuzed Posted June 10, 2008 Author Posted June 10, 2008 I love Heat, but you forgot Danny Trejo. I think that it's a given that Danny Trejo can be in any movie at any given time. That guys been in more movies then anyone I can think of.

Batman is about saving a$$, not getting a$$. Unless they put Catwoman in the movie. They could very easily do that in this one. I'm really hoping they do.
The Poojer Posted June 11, 2008 Posted June 11, 2008 never heard of this guy.....gotta go check out demonoid to find this 25th Hour Heck yeah, all I needed to know about that film was Edward Norton and Phillip Seymour Hoffman were involved...combined with Pepper, i agree, amazing cast and amazing performance(s)
BillsPride12 Posted June 11, 2008 Posted June 11, 2008 For the type of movie it was and the characters they were trying to portray, the cast of Dazed and Confused was awesome
Chandler#81 Posted June 11, 2008 Posted June 11, 2008 With all the talk of movies lately and the tapping out of certain genre's I thought I would start a thread about movies with great casts. I'll start: The Godfather- Marlon Brando, Al Pacino, Robert Duvall, James Caan, Diane Keaton.. Apollo 13: Tom Hanks, Kevin Bacon, Ed Harris, Bill Paxton and Gary Sinise A Few Good Men: Jack Nicholson, Tom Cruise, Kevin Bacon, Demi Moore, Kiefer Sutherland Any of the Oceans movies. Why stop with those B listers? ( ) Cuba Gooding Jr., Kevin Pollak, JT Walsh, Noah Wyle One of my favs: The Long Riders: 3 Keatchs 3 Carradines 2 Quaids Pamela Reed
Mark Vader Posted June 11, 2008 Posted June 11, 2008 I think that it's a given that Danny Trejo can be in any movie at any given time. That guys been in more movies then anyone I can think of. This is true. I even remember when he had a guest appearance on Alias.
