    Remember when Morgan Freeman used to do great dramatic roles!
    Like Lean on Me, Driving Miss Daisy, Shawshank Redemption, etc...

    When the **** did he completely sell out and do nothing but cheeseball crap...what a shame

    Just saw him in a trailer for a movie about making a dolphin a plastic tail called "Dolphin Tale" and it made my stomach turn

    Not a lot of spots in Hollywood for black actors. Even Morgan has to prostitute himself now

      He used to get all those incredible roles and play em to perfection, now he stars in roles that could be played by a shaved chimp

      Last good role was in Million dollar baby, since then he just shows up and says what the fuk trash am I in today

      Swim dolphin! Yay! The dolphin swam!

        haha when i first saw the trailer it was during some comedy show and I was half-paying attention, I seriously thought it was some kind of joke/parody movie.

        all i gathered was dolphin + handicap + heard freeman say SWIM!!!

          The movie about the dolphin will probably net a bunch at the box office and Freeman looks to fit his role perfectly but there's some other direct to dvd stuff that he probaly should have done. If he keeps this up he's going to turn into Danny Glover rofl

                  This movie is going to be a huge hit with parents, kids will learn who he his and he'll be able to make more movies like this and get paid a butt load of money. Then you take the money and make movies you want to make.

                  If we're going to talk about sell-outs we should be talking about Robert Deniro.

                    You're right, Deniro has completely sold out as well

                    They just dont want great actors in great movies anymore, it makes more money to just put out some dolphin swimming crap that parents will take their kids to to shut the brats up

                    Mommy I love the dolphin!

                    Yup me too, sure was daddy's money well spent to watch a dolphin swim like that!

                      seems like he got "black" balled...

                      same as wesley snipes and cuba gooden jr...

                      all good actors who fell off the top shelf for some reason...

                      Don't get me started on Hollywood conspiracies...

                        Not sure of how good an actor Snipes was but okay

                        Thing is Freeman has had many great roles in the past just here lately he gets tons of roles but they are just trash acting in crappy movies like Deniro is doing in this Jason Stratham pile of crap hes dumpin on theaters soon

                          Wesley Snipes fukked himself over, by refusing to pay taxes.

                          Cuba Gooding soldout once he played a phag in some cruise ship movie

                          Morgan Freeman is making some easy money doing a Disney movie that is guaranteed to sell. As long as the Dolphin doesn't talk, I might take one of my little brothers to see the movie.

                          Samuel L Jack will do any role for money...

                              Morgan Freeman is smart, he knows he is old and not going to get big time roles as much as he used to. But he knows he still has drawing power and can get a check.

                                  Liked him a lot in Lean On Me. Still one of my favorite roles in any movie.

                                      Was in Invictus
                                      In the Batman movies
                                      The commercial for this dolphin movie cracks me up every time I see it.

                                      And isn't that 20+ hottie one of his relatives? Or is that some rumor I heard

                                          All these old guys take shlt roles to cash in late in their careers...or they end up doing oddball shlt like bill Murray cuz they don't give a fuk.

                                          Except Nicholson...he's the fukkin boss
