Which great actor is currently slumming it hardest?

[Owain Taggart]

Heh, so it's all about a certain failure. I guess that explains things. Nobody really wants to hear about someone's failure. Good call on Curb Your Enthusiasm. His chemistry with Larry David might be a good one.

The Devil Wears Prada, and Mama Mia, which all seem pitched far below her considerable talents.

The Devil Wears Prada is probably the best regarded "chick flick" of the last decade, and Streep got an Oscar nomination for it.

Setting aside those two movies - Doubt was fantastic, I loved Fantastic Mr Fox and Julia and Julia was great too. And that's just in the last few years.

How about Val Kilmer?

agreed.

Christopher Lloyd. He was in so many of my favorite films of the 80s. But I can't even remember the last time he was in a decent film with a memorable role.

I am surprised he has not been utilized better by the generation of newer film makers who grew up on those classics. Nice to see him a supporting role in one of the big superhero franchises.

It's strange with Christopher Lloyd. It seemed like he was in everything back in the day but then in 1995-96, you just never saw him in movies. You'd see him pop up in movies once in a whle but it's like directors stopped using him. It's a shame because he is a damn good talent.

It's probably because he's like 70 years old.
