So when the 29-year-old actor first his idol at an industry party, Courtney was more than excited. Night Shyamalan, Katherine Heigl, Cuba Gooding, Jr., Tyler Perry, Cameron Diaz, Kate Hudson, Ashton Kutcher, Happy Madison Productions, Jennifer Lopez, Bruce Willis, Paul W.S.As a fellow Australian, one of the actors Jai Courtney most looks up to is Russell Crowe. GUILTY Adam Sandler, Eddie Murphy, Vince Vaughn, Tim Burton, The Farrelly Brothers, Michael Bay, Jessica Alba, Ice Cube, Gerard Butler, Halle Berry, Marlon Wayans, Julia Roberts, M.
As for the Farrelly Brothers, we're going to stick them in the solitary confinement wing of Movie Jail for the next few weeks for their very disappointing Dumb and Dumber sequel. But because of their performances in Stretch and August: Osage County, we will be moving Alba and Roberts from maximum security to medium security. While Jessica Alba, Julia Roberts and the Farrelly Brothers had their supporters in last week's Movie Jail Updates, most jury members said they deserve to stay in prison. We have a separate jail for those people called "Troll Tower" and believe me you do NOT want to go there. Anyway, this is all in fun so don't take it too seriously. Not quite a devil's advocate but you get the point. *The cases for and against a defendant going to Movie Jail by the author are not necessarily his views and opinions but they are some of the beliefs that one would use to effectively make an argument for both sides.
Courtney is more than just a good looking dude? Is Jai Courtney GUILTY or NOT GUILTY? What do you think we should do with the Aussie actor? Do you think he's an attractive, but wooden actor who belongs in Movie Jail, or do you believe Mr. Let's actually give him a chance to prove he's more than just Hollywood's latest go-to guy for their action flicks before sending him to Movie Jail. And who knows, maybe he'll surprise us with a fantastic performance in Angelina Jolie's Unbroken or the upcoming post-apocalyptic thriller Man Down.Īs previously mentioned by the prosecution, my client is still very young, and because of that the defense believes we shouldn't give up on Mr. Again, was he brilliant in them? No, but we thought he did just fine in those projects.
Courtney was great in Felony and Jack Reacher, as well as the Starz series Spartacus.
Maybe my client will never be a fantastic actor, but the defense doesn't think he's a terrible one, and we also don't believe he needs to be tossed in the slammer. Ladies and gentlemen, it can be hard to properly judge an actor's talents if they haven't had the opportunity to show us what they've got, and that's exactly what's going on with Mr. The Defense: Felony, Jack Reacher, Spartacus If he does a solid job in his new projects maybe we'll think about releasing, but right now we believe the actor deserves to go to prison. Courtney is still quite young (he's only 28), in the prosecution's opinion the actor needs to spend some time behind bars. Like many, the prosecution has been unimpressed with his performances, and it's no wonder most people aren't too high on him playing Kyle Reese in Terminator: Genisys.Īlthough Mr. Courtney is because he just isn't a great actor, and he doesn't bring much to his roles. However, the prosecution believes the main reason why people have a problem with Mr. Courtney? Perhaps it's because it seems like Hollywood is trying to shove him down our throats (despite having little range as an actor), or maybe it has something to do with him starring in widely panned films like I, Frankenstein and A Good Day to Die Hard. Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, with the lukewarm response to Jai Courtney being cast as Captain Boomerang in David Ayer's Suicide Squad, the prosecution figured now would be a good time to put the actor up for Movie Jail.īut why do so many people dislike Mr. The Prosecution : Divergent, I, Frankenstein, A Good Day to Die Hard In each column a defendant is put on trial, arguments are made, and then it is up to YOU, the jury, to decide if the person is guilty or not guilty of crimes against cinema. Their crimes? The offenses vary from convict to convict but most of these inmates have contributed negatively to the film world to some capacity* and his or her misdeeds have covered a long enough period of time that the authorities had to intervene. This is Movie Jail, a unique maximum security prison that houses some of the worst writers, directors, actors and producers from Hollywood and beyond.
