Maybe, but she could play the bitch in a GOOD movie. I think she should explore roles in smaller independent films. I mean it's not like she needs the the big paychecks anymore. I'm at the point where I feel some of these "older" stars should just retire rather than coast through tired roles in mediocre movies.
For example, when's the last time Nicholson, Deniro and Pacino have done something they can be proud of? Are they that greedy that they'll do anything to keep working? Maybe they just feel that they've paid their dues and now they can just do crap and watch the money roll in?

Very good points, oilgun. We are in the 1977 round in the movie game and have posted "Annie Hall" and "Looking for Mr. Goodbar." Remember Diane Keaton in those?
Jack Nicholson in The Departed (2006) was good. I didn't see DeNiro in The Good Shepherd so I can't comment on that, but Meet The Fockers? Please.

To be honest, I didn't think much of Nicholson in The Departed, lol! I think I saw The Good Shepherd, that's the one with Matt Damon right? For some reason I don't even remember DeNiro being in it, lol! Must be the early onset thing, plus I really didn't like that film. Anyway Meryl Streep & Sigourney Weaver still manage to find interesting roles.

I really enjoyed the film but although I wasn't impressed with Nicholson's performance at least it's in a good film so I'll give him that one, lol!
