why is jennifer connoly always in the worst movies of all time?


With the exception of Requiem for a Dream I find every movie she is in unbearable to watch. Which is kind of funny to say cuz requiem is pretty gross. But anyways, dark water, house of sand and fog, hulk, higher learning, her movies always suck. Anyone else agree that she sucks?

how the heck can you say her movies suck??? house of sand and fog is one of my fav. movies.... your taste sucks....

reply

first of all, *beep* you, second most of her roles are the *beep*

A beautiful mind - SHE WON A *beep* OSCAR! she was the best part of that movie, and its a *beep* great movie

requiem for a dream - so convincing andso undignifying, but yet she still seems classy

house of sand and fog - GREAT MOVIE she was great and deserved a nomination for actress in a leading role

blood diamond - fantastic movie, best performance in the movie

little children - sooooo great and *beep* haunting

NOT TO MENTION - that she looks *beep* hot in every single one of them!!! (except maybe requiem for a drem) lol

Though i haven't watched all her movies, i actually enjoyed House of sand and fog, it has a wonderful cast and Jennifer's performance was very convincing, it seems to me that she really suits this typle of vulnerable young women character, Ben Kingsley makes this movie great though.

"A Beautiful Mind"

Jennifer is not in enough movies that's the problem. Crappy actresses you know who they are, are in the movies of today. And Jennifer is excellent beautiful woman.

I'm sure you would do better in show business. Come on, I'm waiting.

--Once upon a time in America..SUPERB Movie--

C'mon. That wasn't SUPERB. It was good, but extremely, EXTREMELY overrated. Probably can't argue with you, though. Anybody who calls a movie SUPERB is most likely an artsy film snob. Are you an artsy film snob?

Labyrinth was fkn rad. Bowie strutting around in those tight-arse tights, dancing with goblins. Hilarious.

her movies are not that BAD... they're usually underrated.
Back in the day when she made "the rocketeer"... "some girls"... "hot spot"... "inventing the abbots"... etc... she WAS in every single BAD MOVIE made hahahaha but she was OUTSTANDING and AMAZING in every single one of them

that's her talent

no matter how bad or underrated or hated the movie is, she ALWAYS shines with her extreme talent!


"HOUSE OF SAND AND FOG" is a great film. she is great there, her best performance ever.


"HULK" is sadly underrated because it doesn't have enough explosions and ang lee made a character study on human rage... bad choice for a superhero movie but the movie per se is actually pretty amazing. One of Jennifer's top performances.


"DARK WATER" was misunderstood. horror fans weren't excited about it because it wasn't 'scary enough' and film critics hated it because it was 'a hollywood remake' but it's directed by WALTER SALLES, people!! WALTER SALLES!! he is one of the best directors today and his work was great in that movie. The film is about how a single mother with all the stress this takes starts to lose her mind and that is represented by something supernatural. It's a psycological DRAMA!!! ok? her performance is flawless.


"BLOOD DIAMOND" and "LITTLE CHILDREN" were extraordinary and made 2006 a great year for jennifer.


"RESERVATION ROAD" will be great, i know.


Jennifer is a magnificent actress. The next Meryl Streep, ok? So shut up!

Well said.
