STUDY: Jessica Alba and Mike Epps Top the List of Worst-Reviewed Actors

A new study reviews the worst-reviewed actors in Hollywood.

Website GoCompare.com recently put a survey to see who had the worst record of movies among movie stars by analyzing Metacritic scores for each actor’s films over the last 20 years. As a result, Jessica Alba and Mike Epps were at the top of the list of the worst-reviewed actors of the previous 20 years.

Alba had an average Metacritic score of 39 out of 100, with 59% of her movies received a negative review to just 5% of positive reviews. The actress, who has starred in films such as Fantastic Four, Sin City, and Machete had a worse track record than other famous actresses including Jessica Biel, Heather Graham, and Radha Mitchell, who placed right behind her.

Meanwhile, Mike Epps topped the list of actors with a 38.3 average Metacritic score out of 100. Epps, who starred in hit movies such as Next Friday, Uncle Drew and Resident Evil: Extinction, was right ahead of Kevin Pollack, Josh Duhamel and surprisingly Robin Williams.

GoCompare gathered data from IMDb and to be eligible to appear not the list; the actor had to have appeared in at least 20 movies in the last 20 years. They also had to have a lead role in the film. An average calculated Metacritic grade based on the scores for each film.

The analysis of actors is not the first time GoCompare analyzed actors. The website previously completed a study of actors from the last ten years and tracked the highest ranking actors and actresses, with Adam Driver and Carey Mulligan topping the list. Vincent Pastore topped the list of lowest ranking actors in the last ten years.

Nicole must now keep her son’s gifts secret with the help of Mark’s best friend Pat, and protect Dion from antagonists out to exploit him while figuring out the origin of his abilities. The ten-episode series will premiere on Netflix in more than 190 countries around the world.” (via Netflix)

 
 

The show is created by music video director Dennis Liu, who created the comic and directed the short film, which went viral.  “I started this project many years ago because I wanted to see more diverse representation on film and television and I’m excited to partner with Netflix and MACRO, who I know shares that commitment.

Will Smith’s Daughter Reveals It Took Years to “Forgive” Her Father

Will Smith’s daughter, Willow Smith, reveals it took her a couple of years to forgive her father after becoming famous at an early age.

Willow Smith recently opened up about her early fame following her hit single Whip My Hair, when she was only 10 years old.

Speaking to her mother and grand mother on Monday’s episode of Red Table Talk, Smith, described her father being “harsh” during that point in time in her life.

“I definitely had to forgive you and daddy for that whole ‘Whip My Hair’ thing. It was mostly daddy because he was so harsh at certain times,” Willow Smith told mother Jada Pinkett Smith and grandma Adrienne Banfield-Jones.

“It was a couple of years, honestly. Trying to regain trust for not feeling like I was being listened to or like no one cared how I felt,” the singer continued.

While Willow did not reveal the details, she explained she was able to forgive her father after a few years and forgive herself.

“I had to forgive myself because I felt guilty because everyone is trying to make me better, trying to make my dream. But I didn’t really understand what my dream entailed,” she said.

Last October, Willow Smith also revealed the immense pressure to finish her first album after releasing “Whip My Hair” and led her to self-harm.

“After all of that kinda settled down and it was like a kind of lull, I was just listening to a lot of dark music,” Willow recalled. “It was just so crazy and I was plunged into this black hole, and I was cutting myself.”

Jada then explained the conversation in which she found her daughter cutting herself.

“We went through what happened and, in the moment, I realized as a mother you also have to give your children space to deal with their own shadow,” Jada explained during the “Table Talk” episode. “There’s lots of things that my mother didn’t know about me that she’s just finding out about me.”

Willow’s mother continued and said she decided to focus on what led her daughter to this dark point in her life.

“I was most proud about that she could share it in the way she did, which let me know she had come through in a major way, that she could put it on the table like that,” the actress said. “I wanted to focus on what [it was] that got her through.”

She added, “I really talked to her about her powering side of her journey and give her all the praise in the world for that part instead of focusing on, ‘Why didn’t you tell me?’”

Updated: ‘MacGyver’ Star is Leaving After Alleged Altercation On Georgia Set

0

Leading MacGyver actor is leaving the show following an on-set altercation in Atlanta, Georgia.

Filming in the state of Georgia is at an all-time high. There are over 20 TV shows and movies shooting in Georgia. One of the biggest shows filming in Atlanta is the CBS series MacGyver. However, one of the leading actors on the show is leaving after an alleged altercation on set. George Eads is leaving the show after a reported altercation on set. According to Cinema Blend, Eads had an argument and left the TV set in Atlanta, The alleged incident took place in October and possibly caused a “sticky situation on set.” Sources say there were several more T of production that day. That said, any “on-set altercation that may have happened did not immediately result in George Eads taking his leave of the series.” Jack has been a part of the show in Season 3 and The Hollywood Reporter stats Eads is still in production on MacGyver. Currently, his last episode on the show will air at some point in 2019. No details are now available about his character will be written out of the show. That said, the show could continue without George Eads in the show. One of the most straightforward options would be to kill his character off.

While George Eads has not officially commented on news of his departure, he has reportedly asked to be released from his contract due to a desire to spend more time with his daughter in Los Angeles, California. With MacGyver filming in Atlanta, he would not have been able to travel back and forth to Los Angeles on a regular basis. Producers have reportedly agreed to Ead’s request to leave the show after Eads desire to quit the series. The altercation does not seem to have been that series that immediate action was warranted against him. Given the messy nature of the split, Eads may not make a return to CBS. He spent 15 seasons on CS, and his departure on that show was reportedly linked to an on-set issue between the actor and one of the writers. The split was described as “amicable,” and it did not result in bad blood between CBS and Eads. We will have to wait and see. Check out MacGyver on Fridays at 8 p.m. ET on CBS. Related:
