 |  Subject: Two Recent Lead Actor Oscar Winners Can't Seem to Get Films in Theaters! Tue 13 Jul 2010, 8:18 am | |
| Sad since winning an Oscar is suppose to do wonders for your career yet these two have not really done much good. Hell a lot of their movies don't even make it to theaters!

Although he had leading roles in 'Repo Man' and 'Our
Family Wedding,' Oscar winner Forest Whitaker
has had more films go straight to home video in recent times.
His latest film, 'The Experiment,' will arrive on
Blu-ray and DVD on Sept. 21 through Sony Pictures.Since the Texas native won the Academy Award for best actor in 2006
for his role in 'The Last King of Scotland,' five of
his films have either been released in limited theaters or gone straight
to DVD, including 'Winged Creatures' with Jennifer
Hudson, 'Powder Blue' with Sanaa
Lathan, and most recently, 'Hurricane Season'
with Taraji P. Henson.Directed by Paul
Scheuring, 'The Experiment' stars Whitaker
with Oscar winner Adrien Brody, Cam Gigandet, Clifton Collins
Jr. and Maggie Grace in a
remake of the 2001 German psychological thriller 'Das Experiment.'The story is based on the infamous Stanford Prison Experiment, in
which 24 men were pushed to the brink of madness when an experiment
simulating life within a state prison spins horribly out of control.Selected to participate in a two-week research project, a group of
men agree to play inmates and guards in a simulation. But as the 24
volunteers slip deeper into their roles, power corrupts, fears escalate
and the experiment spins horribly out of control.Brody's latest film, 'Predators,' grossed more than
$25 million this past weekend.The high-profiled films that featured Whitaker were 'The
Great Debaters' with Denzel Washington,
'Vantage Point' with Dennis Quaid, 2009's 'Where the Wild Things
Are' with James Gandolfini, 2010's 'Repo
Man' and 'Our Family Wedding.'The last two films received negative reviews from critics.This fall, Whitaker will star in the spinoff of TV's 'Criminal
Minds.'-------------------------------------------------------------On a side note I want to see this because in one of my previous sociology classes we learned about this and it would be interesting to see a movie on it!*So what do you think of their struggles?*Any other Oscar winners that you feel should get more work but sadly don't really get?
