On Halle Berry being one-dimensional (as stated by another poster, not that below)

I think Halle's problem is that she's inconsistent. She's great when portraying a crackhead, as in Losing Isiah or Jungle Fever. But straight drama, like Gothica, Queen, Catwoman (ok, a comedy), or X-Men, and she really falters. Some of the worst acting I've ever seen has come from her, yet her portrayal of Dorothy Dandridge was excellent and worthy of a Golden Globe.
Ben Stiller, Adam Sandler, Jennifer Aniston, Sandra Bullock, and Drew Barrymore always seem to play the same characters. I still like Sandler, Aniston, Bullock, and Barrymore, but I'm quickly growing tired of Ben Stiller.
Ben Stiller's character in "Heavyweights" is the extreme opposite of Ben Stiller's character in "Night At The Museum" for example.
I can see your point here, he was great in "Permanent Midnight". If you haven't seen it, check it out. He plays a commercial writer who gets involved in drugs and ruins his career, etc. It kind of has the vibe of what happened to Robert Downy Jr.

I don't know about Kidman. In the movies that I've seen her such as: The Others (an overprotective mother with believable english accent), Practical Magic (a bad girl witch), The Birthday Girl (a Russian mail order bride complete w/ believable russian accent), Far & Away (a snotty, spoiled, daughter of rich Irish family who longs for freedom in the US), and the one where she plays ambitious TV reporter who will stop at nothing for fame, .... I'd say that's quite a collection of different characters.

'To Die For'-oh man, I loved her in that movie! She really made you hate that character.
Don't forget 'Moulin Rouge'. And 'The Hours' where she played Virginia Woolfe.

Yes, To Die For, that's the title!! I was getting the movie's title mixed up in my mind with Angelina Jolie's movie where she also plays a blond reporter.
Back to Kidman, I'd say she's got range.
it's all in the perspective of the viewer........oui?
