When it comes to movies, Hollywood has us completely spoiled. Every year, film studios release countless films that we can't wait to watch in the cinema (or, if we're lazy, from the comfort of our own sofa).
Sometimes these newly released movies leave us gobsmacked. They're so good that we can't stop thinking about them, even hours after we finish watching them. We keep going over the plot and we keep revisiting the characters.
Other times new films leave us disappointed. The storyline falls flat, the characters feel one-dimensional, and the dialogue makes us cringe in embarrassment.
A lot of the times, whether we end up loving the movie or greatly disliking it, depends on who starred in it. Good actors can sometimes make even the most boring of films feel thrilling whereas bad actors tend to make even the most enthralling of movies unwatchable.
That's why casting directors spend hours choosing the right people for the job. Unfortunately, there are more bad actors than good ones which is why most good movies feature Hollywood A-listers. You just can't go wrong with them. They're established actors with plenty of experience under their belts. But just because we see the same people over and over again does not mean that we know their names.
