Hollywood

Rumor has it: Matt Damon as a young Captain Kirk in a new Star Trek movie. Thumbs up or thumbs down? Thumbs up. If he plays it over the top like William Shatner, I think it would have to be categorized as a comedy though.

What's your favorite Dustin performance? Tootsie
Ugh! I'm not a big fan of Dustin. He was good in Tootsie and The Graduate and a few more but I'm just not a fan of his. This may sound crazy but ever since Rain Man, that's the way I see him and I'm always surprised when he acts any other way. I suppose that shows what a good actor he is but either way, I just can't get beyond that. Strange, I know. I saw 'Meet the Fockers' and was so disappointed. It so lacked originality. They went the easy route and made the parents sex therapists (or whatever they were). Those type of jokes are so easy to make. Not much thought went into the script.

Julia Roberts is one of the highest-paid actresses in Hollywood -- which of the top ten is most worth the money? You know, I always thought Jodie Foster was a good actress (Yikes, here I go again) but I thought she was so bad in Anna & the King (or whatever the name is). Whenever I know someone is talking with an accent, I obsess with it. I listen and critique every word. I thought she did REALLY, REALLY bad with her British accent. A little while after, 'Silence of the Lambs' was on and I noticed Jodie had some kind of weird accent there too. Ok, other than that, I do like her and I would be most inclined to see a movie that she was in than the others so I'll give her number 1.

However, I don't think she would be the highest paid actress. My guess is Jennifer Ansiton can garnish the most money at this particular point in time. She's been big news ever since the break-up plus the movie 'The Break-Up' was a big hit.

Not sure but I think Reese Witherspoon would be next. I didn't see 'Walk the Line' but I thought she was great in 'Legally Blonde'.

I liked Charlize Theron in 'The Cider House Rules'. I agree that too many movies kind of cheapens her.

Angelina Jolie - don't think I've ever seen her in anything except 'Girl Interrupted' and she did do a good job in that movie.

Drew Barrymore - I don't think she deserves to be high on the list but she did play in one of my favorite movies, 'Boys on the Side'.

Julia, Nicole, Renee and Cameron - are somewhere toward the bottom. Thanks and Happy Monday.
