John Voight



Last night, Phil and I are under the weather, I make chicken cutlets and penne in vodka sauce and we settle under blankets with dinner and a movie. Dinner is getting cold as he flips through the Comcast on demand list and I say "Pick anything!"
So we end up paying $4.99 to watch Pride and Glory.
When it's over, I look at him and say "That's it. From this moment forward, no more movies that have John Voight with billing higher than cameo."
Phil asks why.
"Because anything with him in it is usually bad or mediocre, and if it's a free movie, mediocre is fine, but I'm not paying for his performances anymore."
"That seems a little extreme."
"Name three good movies he's been in since 1990."

He couldn't.

Dredd

Un-campified future cop movie.  Kept waiting for Stallone, Bullock, or Snipes to show up.  except that was "Demolition Man" so I was very confused. Then I forgot and enjoyed the movie.

The Last Gladiators

Sad documentary about pro hockey players without translatable job skills.

Goon

Reverse "The Last Gladiators".   Bouncer plays hockey.
