Kevin Costner/Nicolas Cage by Independence day

Open Range:
What a waste of talent - Kevin Costner, Robert Duvall, Annette Bening :-(
Movie had loads of typical Hollywood sentiments and way too many cliches.

WaterWorld:
Movie was a bit too long, felt like I was watching this movie forever.
Full marks to the bold-storyline.

Dragonfly:
Boring movie again. Really wonder how come I watched such a movie :-(

Revenge:
Again a typical Hollywood masala movie with was too many cliches.
Best if avoided!

For the love of Game:
Good movie.
I had earlier seen "Bull Durham"(another Kevin Costner-Baseball movie) and thought this one was not really in that class, but still was enjoyable.

Lord of War:
Nicolas Cage had tried to pull-off a "The Rock" kind of movie with this one.
The movie does no justice to the cause(against arms-trafficking) that Nicolas Cage tried to patronize, nor was it an entertaining :-(

Matchstick Men:
Good movie.
Ridley Scott has pulled-off a blinder with this movie.
Not really of the "The Usual Suspects" class, but still a decent one.

The Family Man:
Ordinary movie.
Best part in this movie, of course has to be Tea Leani

Found a strange coincidence, most of the Hollywood movies featuring the big-stars seem to have the actor as the producer as well from Tobey McGuire to Sylvester Stallone to Kevin Costner to Nicolas Cage. Guess, this allows them the liberty to call-the-shots over-ruling the director. But there are some star-director combination which has worked too well like Zemeckis-Hanks or Soderbergh-Clooney.
Even in Indian movies this trend can be seen, but it is still slightly rare cause Aamir or Shahrukh or Kamal or Ambitabh dont try this all-that-often. Rajnikanth is slightly differnt in this aspect cause he is in-charge of distribution for a number of his movies, which reflects on the confidence he has in his movies or maybe in his fans.
