She has that bubbly personality like Cameron Diaz, So a lot of her serious roles come across as her trying too hard to be serious. And even though she's sexy, she doesn't have that sexual energy that oozes out of certain actresses. Boomerang being the perfect example. Her character was quirky and fun and attractive, but Robin Givens was oozing sexuality, like you can feel her p*ssy vibrating through the screen. Halle needed one of those movies with a Tom Cruise type, but she probably will do better in television at this point, Like JLo has done with Shades of Blue.

That's what I loved about her though. Like in Strictly Business, she was quirky, fun and gorgeous and it made her sexy, but a different type of sexy than Robin Givens.

Honestly she became mainstream because her white-looking black woman appearance made her more palatable to whites, and her hard stance in being seen as a "black woman" and not a mixed woman made her "still one of us" to black folk. So, she had her feet in both worlds and was more marketable.

Kim Kardashian is a superstar today
Black Chyna is a superstar today
Megan Goode and Paula Patton are horrid actresses and have gotten their own tv shows

A 22 year old Halle would not have a problem getting a shot
Kim is a reality star and got famous off a sex tape. :comeon:

Slap yourself for naming Black Chyna. She is not good looking and she is not a superstar. :hhh:

Paula's only been in a handful of notable projects and she is not even close to a superstar.

Meagan Good is an exception for current times, but she's also been in the industry since the 90s.

Black people stay trashing Halle but white people never have anything bad to say about Angelina Jolie who’s entire career is wack af.

“She fukked the right execs”
Chick has always been married and is usually the one who got cheated on. No big scandals all these years, no trashy public displays, no disowning her blackness.

But yeah she’s just a talentless whore in the black community because of one sex scene. :smh:
Trust, if Angelina Jolie had ever allowed herself to get fukked in a movie by a black man she wouldn't have had a career anywhere as big as she has.

Halle is a big sell out. She used the black community to come up then turned into a wannabe white girl. fukk her and anybody who defends her.

She was good in Boomerang but didn't really follow her movie career after that. When was the last time she had a black man as a love interest in real life and on the big screen?

I was a big Halle fan growing up but I peeped her game early on before she blew all the way up. She did a movie with Omar epps as his girl in like '94 but after that she switched it up and went the bed wench route. She did like 3 bed wench roles in a row. Rich man's wife, baps, and bulworth were terrible movies all on some bed wench shyt. She did the Frankie Lymon story as one of the wives in the late 90s but after she got her foot in the door with boomerang she was pretty much done with black male love interests.

That Omar Epps movie is The Program after that she still did Losing Isaiah and after those 3 bad movies you mentioned she did Why Do Fools Fall in Love. Was she supposed to force herself into black romances or somthing?

You nikkas are the worse, always tearing down your own. Jolie fukked Mexicans, was falling out of limos at award shows with her puss hanging out and high. Ruined Jennifer Aniston’s marriage and can’t fukking act, and she’s practically a national treasure.

Legit criticism isn't tearing down anyone. If you think that there are crackers out here that talk shyt about Angelina Jolie than you're dumber than I thought. I don't give a fick about Angelina Jolie's and you only bring her up as a deflection to legit criticism of Halle. You're just a bed wench sympathizer. Go fukk yourself.
