Now that Mandy Moore has another flop under her belt with License to Wed I started wondering who picks this poor girls movies...and she not the only one. Some of these film choices jst dont make any sense.

Mandy Moore- License to Wed, Because I Said So, American Dreamz

Amanda Peet- The Ex, A Lot Like Love, Whipped, The Whole Ten Yards...is it possible to find an actual role where she isnt the girlfriend, or the sister, or the receptionist, or any other irrelevant charater in a movie.

Halle Berry- Catwoman, Perfect Stranger (im sorry but i liked Gothika, not sure why)

Rosario Dawson- Pluto Nash, Pluto Nash, oh and Pluto Nash. And i still have not forgot alexander. Even though she has made some good moves with Sin City among others, she has yet to break out.

Thandie Newton- She decided to follow up her great performance in Crash with Norbit and Run, Fat Boy, Run...ms.newton should really lay off the meth

Jim Carrey- The Number 23, Fun with Dick and Jane, but even he had the smarts to stay away from Evan

Cuba Gooding Jr- This former oscar winner is set to star in Daddy Day Camp. Yes that is the sequal to Daddy Day Care.

Uma Thurman- If the movie doesnt involve Quentin Tarrontino Uma Thurman seems completly lost. The Avengers, Batman and Robin, My Super Ex Girlfriend, The Producers, among others really make me depressed. She was so wonderful in Kill Bill

Eddie Murphy- Though his films are finacial successes cant he find a halfway decent comedy? Perhaps one without a fat suit...

Robin Williams- Seems to have lost his touch with every single one of his movies being almost dead on arrival this decade. And no animated films dont count...

Tea Leoni- She is a wonderful actress who should be working 24/7, but instead she jst does the occasional mediocre indie movie and the occasional mediocre pop corn flick with few exceptions. But i read a recent interview and im not so sure it isnt jst her wanting to be with her family...

and though i felt compelled enough to start this poll i cant really think of anymore so i guess ill add some later

It's absolutely no contest...

Cuba Gooding Jr. Hands down.

Bless you Michael Bay. Armageddon is a masterpiece.

gotta be halle berry, to go from an oscar winner to doing the films she does now, cant see a bigger fall from grace than that. her agent needs shooting (not that im an advovcate of gun crime, mind).

I choose Thandie Newton, as she's the most talented of the bunch.

I think all of the actors listed need new agents but I have to agree with silversurfer. Halle Berry really had only bad movies recently and she needs a new agent ,fast .

Defintley Cuba Gooding Jr. I mean look at his choices. Boat Trip, Snow Dogs,Norbit,Daddy Day Camp. I mean he hasnt been in a good movie in 6 years. But Maybe Amercian Gangster can turn that around

But anways Rosario Dawson and Jim Carrey dont deserve to be on this list. Rosario Dawson has been in Clerks 2,Sin City, Grindhouse yeah horrible choices ha ha. Yeah Pluto Nash was really bad but she moved on from that. And Carrey only had Number 23 so what he made a mistake carrey will be back in true carrey fashion soon.

Rosario Dawson is on this list because even though movies like grindhouse and clerks 2 earned her some cred with the fan boy crowd, they have done nothing to make her a household name. I put her here because i think that she should definatley she should be much more famous then she is, and did anyone forget who Alexander?

And I forgot Cuba because until u mentioned it i forgot who he was....

I've already weighed in on Cuba Jr, so let me give you my take on the rest of the "list":

Halle Berry would definitely be #2 on my list, after Cuba, but at least she's had the good fortune to be a part of one of the most successful comic book franchises so far. She might turn it around in the upcoming "Things We Lost in the Fire", which is already getting pretty good buzz.

Mandy Moore doesn't need a better agent so much as she needs to learn how to act better.

Amanda Peet is talented enough - she does some bad movies, yes, but at least she doesn't make them worse.

Rosario Dawson can act, but I'm more worried about her *glug*glug*vroom*vroom*, if you know what I mean.

Jim Carrey, I'm really not worried about. He can always return to what made him popular, like he will when he goes back to Seuss next year in Horton Hears a Who. Dick & Jane wasn't that bad, and if it was, blame Tea Leoni.

Thandie I haven't seen in enough films to really comment. Chronicles of Riddick and MI:2 are about it.

Uma Thurman? WTF?! Yeah, okay, Super Ex-Girlfriend and Producers both bombed, but Be Cool did okay, and Kill Bill was a rousing success. She'll be remembered for her Quentin successes than for her failures, I reckon.

It's definitely Halle Berry. Cuba is the only other Oscar-winner on the list, but let's face it -- that was a once in a lifetime performance from him (maybe two -- Boyz N The Hood). AND it was actually considered an upset at the time. Halle was always somewhat respected (B.A.P.S. aside) and at least was one of the favorites when she won.

Honorable mention for Amanda Peet. Was she REALLY one of Hollywood's next "It" girls around 5 years ago??? Talk about talking the wrong exit off the highway after "The Whole Nine Yards" -- not even Smilin' Jack could save her...

It's gotta be Cuba Gooding Jr. He's headed to Straight To Video land if he doesn't do something about his agent. Who knows?? Perhaps...the CW!!!! Arrrgghh!!!

Bless you Michael Bay. Armageddon is a masterpiece.
