She's funny, she's gorgeous, it's impossible to not love her and yet she makes rotten film after rotten film after rotten film. What is her secret? I think I know.

    ... thanks you've done it again! Taken something i've been thinking for the last 10 years and you made a blog about it! Now everyone will think i got my opinion about sandra from you..

    :P

    but in all seriousness, i've loved sandra since Demolition Man. Speed was great and i really thought she had what it took. But then the romantic comedies kept coming and the end was in sight.

    with kind regards,

    Dave

    I think because she was so great in Crash, which I thought was the best performance in that film, I thought she was truly brilliant. She is automatically forgiven for any bad films she does, and when a new film like the Proposal or Miss Congeniality 2 comes out I just remember the great work like Crash, Speed and her terrific performance in Infamous and I forgive her for all the terrible romantic comedies that she does, because unlike Adam Sandler she does dumb brain comedies but she has more than one great performance in her back catalog for her to be forgiven. So I think it has less to do with taking her clothes off and more to do with making bad choices, and possibly for money.

    So, so right. I love Sandra but I don't love her movies. HELP!

    I've thought for years someone needs to set up the CFDRSB the Campaign to Find Decent Roles for Sandra Bullock because she certainly doesn't seem to be able to do it herself.
