I would say Iron Man has brought back RDJ.

I would like to see the following make a strong comeback, what say you?

Corey Feldman
Brendan Fraser
Ryan Philippe
Jean Claude Van Damme
Cary Elwes
Johnny Lee Miller
Chevy Chase
Dana Carvey

I would def like to see Cary Elwes make a come back. His appearance in "Kiss the Girls" was totally out of character for him, in my opinion. Brendan hasn't done too bad with the "Mummy" movies, but I would like to see more. The Corey's made an attempt at a comeback with their own TV show. I don't think it went over well.

I would like to see Jennifer Connelly do more films.

Connelly was in one of my favorite movies, Requiem for a Dream about 7 years ago. If you haven't seen it, pick it up. A little hard to watch for some at the end, but fantastic movie. Jared Leto stars.

The Corey's have lost boys 2, it will probably be like the tv show and suck.

I miss Chuck Norris, Fred Savage, Jenna Jamison, Estelle Getty, Chris Elloitt, Dabny Coleman, and any other shite actor.

Fred Savage played a way creepy serial rapist on Law & Order SVU. He was really good in that role. I thought he was sure to make a come back after that. You know, have his face back out there. It just didn't happen. All those poor child actors of the 80s are so disinfranchized.

I just watched Gremlins on Monday night and had completely forgotten that Corey Feldman was in that movie. And I watched The Princess Bride on Sunday. Fred Savage was so little.

I agree - Jennifer Connelly. I liked Requiem for a Dream also, but I also liked her roles in "A Beautiful Mind," "Career Opportunities," and "Dark Water." She is great.

I'm always on the lookout for movies with Steve Martin in them.

Feldman, the Goonies was his best role as Mouth. I think when he did Meatballs was when I knew his career was all down hill.

Brendan Fraser is in a movie called 'Journey to the Center of the Earth' that will be in theaters July 11th.

I saw that they're coming out with another Mummy movie. I only saw the movie poster, not a preview. But the poster was so kick-ass that I want to see it just based on that!

Kevin Costner has a new movie coming out. I watched Dances With Wolves the other night with my family, great movie, but what a one dimensional actor. I would like to see him make a comeback.

Kevin Costner one dimensional? I wouldn't quite put it that way. Now Keanu Reeves is one dimensional. Or maybe even 1/2 dimensional. I would like to see Keanu make a comeback. He does comedy fairly well. Like a modern Cheech/Chong. But I tell you waht, he can brood as well. He did well in Dracula, even if it wasn't a large part. Also, he was simply wonderful in Much Ado About Nothing. He was very believable unlike in other films where you just wonder what the heck the casting person was thinking.

Keanu doing the role of super-angry wife beater in "The Gift," also starring Hilary Swank, Cate Blanchett, astounded me as he was so purely evil, vicious, and cruel in that role. He's a good actor. It jousted with my idea of him. Similarly, when Dennis Hopper did "Blue Velvet," it took my breath away how vicious he was! The mark of a good actor, appearing gregarious and a jerk in one role, solitary and quiet in the next, murderous and vengeful in the third, etc.

When you say the word "one-dimensional," do you mean that he is shallow and self-absorbed...an egomaniac, in his acting? Or do you mean he only plays one type of role?

For one-dimensional, I mean that he plays the same character, same voice, same accent, same facial expressions in every movie.

Don't get me wrong, I love Costner.

Heather, you couldn't be more right, Keanu will go down in history as the most one-dimensional actor in history. He was awesome in Bill and Ted and did a good job in Parenthood. Funny thing is, I love all of his movies. Point Break is a classic. Johnny Utah, hah! Could they have come up with a cheesier name to match his cheesy acting?

Did anyone see him in Constantine? I enjoyed the movie until he ruined it for me by giving the devil the finger. Honorable mention to Gavin Rossdale for doing a good job in his acting debut in that movie.

Speaking of the Devil. Keanu actually played a good role in the Devil's Advocate which I only watched one time. I just couldn't stomach it after that. I can't watch scary movies. I'll admit that I'm a wimp and and a paranoid one at that but like a said before, good acting in that movie.

Also, I love that quote from Parenthood "hell, you even need a license to fish but they'll let any asshole be a father."
