It's not that I think she's a bad actress. I just think she's fairly average. There are many better actresses out there. But there's no denying her curb appeal or ability to get people into a theater. She's a movie star, not an actor.

I agree Theron is a fine actress and regrettably agree that her choices since “Monster” have been wretched with the exception of the little seen “The Valley of Elah”. But when she signed on to Hancock 2 she lost considerable sheen. Aside from the abysmal taste, what producer wants to be associated with that? She doesn't create any buzz, she isn't a good interview and she doesn't promote her films well. She is also rumored to be a bitch on set.

AJ is the consummate professional. Crews, directors, co-workers and producers love her. They set up play areas for her kids, they arrange part-time work schedules, they pay all her expenses including insurance for her whole family. Studio publicists sing her praises. She is the highest paid and most sought after actress in the world. She could work non-stop if she wanted to. I think you need to recognize that your attitude isn't shared and stop writing about AJ and her films.

As for her acting, the Tomb Raider movies didn't really show it off because they were supposed to be campy, but you really should see Girl Interrupted, Mr & Mrs Smith, Changeling, and A Mighty Heart. Nah, skip Mighty Heart – you haven't done anything to me!

I loved Wanted, too, but I think I'm in the minority there.

Peace!
