8. Uma Thurman
The Five Awful Movies: Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief, Ceremony, Bel Ami, Savages (role was cut out)
, Playing For Keeps There was a time when I actually cared what Uma Thurman was doing, and that time was back in 2003, when
Kill Bill was coming out, and she was still one of the my favourite actresses. Prior to writing this article, though, I realised that I hadn't really thought about Uma Thurman in what felt like an age, and I wondered why. Then I remembered that I hadn't seen her in a good movie for about 10 years. I'm serious. What happened, girl? What happened, I guess, is that Uma is struggling to find a place for herself in Hollywood right now. I mean, she's probably not young enough to be considered a leading lady anymore, is she? Not my words, but likely Hollywood's. Either that, or she's in need of a better agent. Maybe the last five movies that she agreed to star in genuinely looked good on paper or something, and it was just unlucky that they turned out so badly. Then again, I've let her off the hook by saying "five awful movies in a row" - she's actually made, like, fourteen bad movies in a row.
