Not Denying Hollywood Heiress Drew Barrymore and Accepting Ben Affleck as Batman

BY: GURU JAY

People like Drew Barrymore because she can be the girl next door or an heiress. Did you know Barrymore is one of Hollywood’s biggest families? Can you imagine going on the Barrymore family retreat?
I like Drew Barrymore because she is inconspicuous. You could talk to her for hours and never know she’s famous. Most real actors aren’t begging for attention. That’s why reality TV stars receive a bad rap.
As we look back and forward at Drew Barrymore’s career, let’s appreciate her valuable and intangible assets. How much is the perfect smile worth? Isn’t happiness priceless?
I’m not denying Drew got a head start. What I am saying is I won’t hold it against her. People can’t control whether they’re born rich, poor, black, or white. You see labels do not define Barrymore and that’s why she is an amazing actress.

Picture Barrymore playing the role of Hillary Clinton in the politician’s biopic. Speaking of powerful women, did you know Drew is a director? She started directing before Angelina Jolie. I would like Drew to dye her follicles jet-black like Angelina’s hairdo.
If Barrymore makes the right decisions, she could become a legendary filmmaker. The beautiful Hollywood heiress can use her connections to further advance her career. However, in Barrymore’s defense, she’d rather gather recognition according to her merits.
The Sony Hack uncovered system wide institutional corruption in the entertainment industry. Hopefully, Sony, Disney, New Corp and other corporations will create positive and lasting changes. Drew Barrymore keeps her name clean and she doesn’t complicate being a celebrity.
Many celebrities crave attention. There is nothing wrong with desiring love. But the problem is excess.

Finally, I’ve accepted Ben Affleck as Batman. Yes, I said Matt Damon would make a better Bruce Wayne. However, his good friend Ben is phenomenal.
Ben looks like Batman and appearances mean the world. Let’s do Affleck a favor and don’t compare him to Christian Bale. It’s not apples and oranges.  
It’s kiwis and coconuts. Plus, Ben Affleck has momentum on his side. It is always a good sign when the media is talking about you.
Like Barrymore, Affleck is a great director and excellent actor. I understand that the movie business is tough work. So, I won’t deny Drew Barrymore her inheritance. And at the same time, I will accept the fact Ben Affleck is Batman.

10 Best Bruce Willis Movies

BY: GURU JAY

If you’re an upcoming action actor study Bruce Willis’s onscreen behavior and mannerisms. The world embraces Bruce because he is nonchalant, likeable, and tough. There aren’t many showmen like Bruce Willis left in the biz. What is more, my mother loves Bruce Willis.
I’ve never seen a movie star more reserved and intense at the same time. The father of five daughters identifies with his characters that protect women and children from danger. Bruce Willis aka Bruno understands family dynamics.
Willis mostly portrays protagonists because it’s hard to root against a cool brother. Throughout his career, he has delivered on time. His box office numbers prove he’s a main attraction.
What are the best Bruce Willis movies? I compiled a list of 10 exceptional films. Let’s get started!
Looper
In Looper, Bruce Willis breaks the time continuum, all while speaking fluent French. Who doesn’t desire to do those two things? I believe Bruce Willis was at his best because Bruce gets better with time.
No one doubts his brilliance and ability to take action. I’m convinced he’s made out of stone and sometimes stoned. Have you seen his David Letterman sit-downs?
Die Hard

When I say Bruce Willis, you say Die Hard. The first movie surprisingly shattered records. You see, what Sylvester Stallone is to Rambo, Bruce Willis is to John McClane.
The storyline never grows old. Don’t underestimate Bruce Willis’s star power. Although Mr. Willis is now an older gentleman, he still does his own stunts.
Surrogates

Like Looper, Surrogates is a futuristic film worth watching at least three times. We live in this digital age, where people depend on technology. The movie highlights technical and social issues. It ponders the question of TMI (Too Much Information).
As society detaches itself from reality, Bruce Willis’s character seeks answers out of this disillusionment. Give credit to Director Jonathan Mostow, who really helped highlight Bruce’s strengths. Plus, Ving Rhames and Willis work well together.

Pulp Fiction
In Pulp Fiction, Bruno plays a boxer and Rhames is a kingpin. It’s one of the most violent movies. Still, critics and fans consider it a Quentin Tarrantino masterpiece.
The kingpin tells the boxer to take a dive. But, the defiant athlete actually knocks out his opponent. Somehow, the boxer lives to see another day because he winds up saving the American gangster from sexual violation.
Live Free or Die Hard
Live Free or Die Hard is one of the best Bruce Willis movies. It is my favorite installment of the Die Hard series. You see Willis won’t let you down, when the stakes are high.
This movie was made with computer geeks and engineering nerds in mind. The film explores unethical hacking and cyberspace security. The old school movie star educates the new school appointments.
The Sixth Sense
It’s reported that the Sixth Sense earned Bruce Willis over $100 million. Director/ Screenwriter M. Night Shyamalan capitalized on Bruce’s entertainment credibility. Still, we can’t diminish this classic script and legendary impact.
In the Sixth Sense, Bruce Willis plays a child psychologist. He examines Haley Joel Osment’s famous words. “I see dead people” may be the most memorable line in movie history.
Mercury Rising
Mercury Rising raises autism awareness. The movie shows how many autistic people are geniuses. Plus, Bruce Willis shines bright and polished like a diamond in the rough.

The casting director choices of Alex Baldwin and Kim Dickens in key roles, paid sizably. Of course, Willis is spectacular as a special agent. His characters always seem to save the day. 
Unbreakable

This is definitely one of the actor’s best movies. In Unbreakable, Samuel L. Jackson’s character convinces the main character he is indestructible. Here is the actor at his finest.
Once more, M. Night Shyamalan teams up with Hollywood’s best actor and destroys competition. It’s safe to say the director and actor are good friends by now. I bet they’ll work together again sometime in the not so distant future.
The Whole Nine Yards
In case you’re wondering, Bruce Willis rarely plays the bad guy. That’s why the Whole Nine Yards is a treasure. Also, it is one of his funniest movies to date.
Armageddon
Armageddon is one of cinema’s greatest productions. Director Michael Bay joins Producer Jerry Bruckheimer. Moreover, the movie has an amazing cast led by Willis.
I don’t read Rotten Tomatoes because they’re wrong for the most part. How can they give Armageddon bad reviews, when fans love it? If you collect $550 million in revenue you’re obviously doing something right.

What are your thoughts?

How Jamie Foxx Became Extraordinary

BY: GURU JAY


Ordinary people settle for mediocrity. Extraordinary individuals believe in their abilities and never get complacent. Jamie Foxx became extraordinary by making his dreams come true.
Do you watch the Jamie Foxx show? That sitcom serves as perfect example of Foxx’s trajectory. From the beginning, determined and ambitious Jamie King chased Francesca (Fancy) all around the hotel. In the finale, Jamie marries Fancy and all is well.
At my elementary school, classmates and I would practice Jamie Foxx’s tagline during recess. The genius of Jamie’s comedy is that it’s capable of reaching everybody. Have you seen the Annie remake starring the multitalented celebrity?

Anyone who can perform standup comedy, act in a variety of roles, and sing Hip-Hop with perfection is special. Furthermore, the complete entertainer hosts a radio program called the Foxx Hole.
Plus, the actor/singer/comedian tickles the ebonies and ivories similar to Alicia Keys. You see Jamie enjoys making money and the celebrity’s creativity is off the charts. People give their undivided attention to Foxx because he has established himself as a one-stop entertainment shop.

If you still don’t believe Jamie Foxx isn’t extraordinary tell that to the Grammys, Golden Globes, and Oscars committees because they all awarded him the highest honors. Do you think Jamie is a better actor, comedian, or singer? I considered him best at acting, then singing, and lastly comedy.
The fact of the matter is Jamie can do it all exceptionally well. Like Jim Carrey and Jennifer Lopez, Kennan Ivory Wayans and In Living Color opened opportunities for Foxx. Plus, Def Comedy Jam gained the comedian more exposure. Watching Jamie perform is like seeing LeBron James play basketball.

What are your favorite Jamie Foxx films? I recommend Ray, the Soloist, Law Abiding Citizen, and Django Unchained. Because of his authentic gifts, Jamie Foxx belongs in the conversation among the greatest entertainers of all time.

Actors Ashton Kutcher Celebrities Charlie Sheen Emma Watson Guru Jay Hollywood Jim Carrey Leonardo DiCaprio Lindsay Lohan Movies Neil Patrick Harris Russell Brand Stephen Fry Tom Hanks Top Ten Twitter

Top Ten Twitter Actors

BY: GURU JAY
Who are the most followed actors on Twitter?
Are you ready? My list excludes musicians and Bollywood. Let’s start the countdown…


10. Lindsay Lohan 8.84 Million

If you’re throwing a party, invite LiLo to make an appearance. Not only can Lindsay boogie on down, she’s a major attraction. The tenth most followed Twitter actor soaks in the limelight and receives re-tweets galore.
9. Stephen Fry 8.91 Million

Englander Stephen Fry comes in at number nine. Furthermore, Fry is one of the most engaging Tweeters because Stephen is influential as a gay rights spokesperson. The actor is literally a Twitter giant standing at a whopping 6’5”.
8. Russell Brand 9.23 Million

Fellow Englishman Russell Brand brings energy to the Top 10 list. In my opinion, Brand makes a better actor than comedian. Don’t get me wrong, Russell’s funny like Fry. But, I’m biased because I believe Americans are funnier and naughtier by nature. “You down with O.P.P.? Yeah, you know me!”
7. Tom Hanks 9.49 Million

Lucky number seven on Twitter is arguably the greatest actor of all time- Tom Hanks. The actor saved the movie industry. He deserved to win Oscars for Forrest Gump, Green Mile, Philadelphia, and Saving Private Ryan. 
6. Charlie Sheen 11.4 Million

Charlie Sheen comes in sixth. Want some fun? Follow Charlie because he’s picking beef with cows. Check out Who’s Winning? Charlie Sheen Vs. Rihanna.
5. Leonardo DiCaprio 12.3 Million

Reportedly, Leonardo DiCaprio aka Romeo threw Rihanna an elaborate surprise birthday festivity. All of entertainment’s movers and shakers showed up to the occasion. Tread lightly Charlie, because DiCaprio and Rihanna have gotten into a serious relationship. And the fifth most followed Twitter actor has friends in high places.
4. Jim Carrey 13.9 Million

Canadian actor/comedian Jim Carrey currently ranks fourth. The movie star showed a different side in the Number 23. While we’re discussing digits, Carrey will soon pass 14 million followers.
3. Neil Patrick Harris 14.2 Million

This multi-talented and triple threat celebrity happens to go by three names. Neil Patrick Harris personifies Hollywood’s finest. Obviously, hosting the Oscars is his career highlight. But, his cameos in the Harold and Kumar franchise are beyond hilarious.
2. Ashton Kutcher 16.7 Million

Before every celebrity, brand, and business joined Twitter, Ashton Kutcher shamelessly promoted and plugged his account. That’s why today Ashton ranks second among the most followed Twitter actors. As of now, @aplusk has 16.7 million followers.
1. Emma Watson 16.8 Million

Emma Watson, who is the youngest person in the top 10, doesn’t even have 1,000 tweets.  Yet, the actress turning 25 this April amassed more Twitter followers than any other actor. Watson leads more people than Cuba’s Castro.

Why Jessica Alba Is Getting Better

BY: GURU JAY

Jessica Alba attracts attention whether at the bronze beach in a bikini or on the silver screen in lingerie. Don’t doubt her talent and business savvy. The Fantastic Four actress capitalizes on her exterior. Likewise, her gentle interior reveals a perky spirit with a big heart.
Rather than giving sporadic acts of sassiness, Jessica gives random acts of kindness. Alba’s charitable donations are well documented. More celebrities and entertainers should give free hugs instead of destroying private property.
Jessica Alba has been acting almost her whole life. She has impeccable timing and great location. Fortunately, the actress was raised near Los Angeles. Alba also attended the prestigious Atlantic Theater Company.
After watching Awake, I finally realized Jessica could transform like a chameleon. A true thespian should switch shapes on cue. Moreover, Jessica no longer acts square. She complements because of her experience in romantic comedies aka chick flicks.
If you haven’t seen Good Luck Chuck don’t see it with your mom. Seriously, the nudity goes way overboard. To my point, Alba is one of the better romantic actors in cinema. Frankly, she is the brunette version of blonde Cameron Diaz. Otherwise, the celebrities are the exact same person with identical fingerprints.
Every actor must discover his or her identity before succeeding on a large scale. The petite actress, known as Jessie Girl, has embraced her skin and propelled to superstardom. Have you seen Sin City?
Check out the Love Guru and Valentine’s Day? Also watch the Eye. Without question, the Eye is Jessica Alba’s defining moment.
At 33, Alba’s already a major name. What is more, she is a team player with tremendous talent. Aspiring actresses, if you desire fame and fortune, look no further than Jessica Alba.

The actress has never looked more stunning. Alba is aging like fine wine. Doesn’t Jessica have the most adorable face in Hollywood?
Surprisingly, Jessica Alba is getting better.

Why Leonardo DiCaprio Is the Best

BY: GURU JAY
  

Do you think Leonardo DiCaprio is the best actor alive? How can you argue with his gigantic box office numbers and amazing body of work? Leonardo DiCaprio has developed into a powerful and unstoppable force in Hollywood, because he delivers great performances at will.
What director doesn’t want to associate with DiCaprio? Leonardo is the most talented and naturally gifted actor in the industry. Scorsese, Spielberg, Tarantino, and Eastwood practically got on both knees in order to work with DiCaprio.
What actor doesn’t dream of working alongside Leonardo? Jonah Hill worships at DiCaprio’s throne. While filming Wolf of Wall Street, Jonah latched onto Leonardo like a parasite.
DiCaprio’s name matters like Nicholson, De Niro, Pacino, and Clooney. Internationally, Leonardo’s brand is highly visible.

 
What are the best Leonardo DiCaprio movies?
Besides the Titanic, I recommend Inception, the Departed, and the Great Gatsby. Anything that DiCaprio touches turns to gold, silver, or bronze. Leonardo is an Olympian who competes in acting and film producing.

Hopefully, in the future DiCaprio will direct. He’s too talented not to teach aspiring actors. Leonardo is the best because the celebrity makes his colleagues perform better.
Watch the Wolf of Wall Street, and you’ll see how much Margot Robbie and Kyle Chandler lean on Leonardo DiCaprio’s gesturing, movements, and expertise. DiCaprio mastered the game since 2000 with the Beach movie. In 2002, Daniel Day-Lewis played supporting actor, while Leonardo starred in Gangs of New York. Furthermore, no movie star supersedes DiCaprio…not Channing Tatum, Brad Pitt, or Johnny Depp.

By participating in several lucrative projects, overtime the veteran actor has positioned himself as Hollywood’s King. According to Box Office Mojo, DiCaprio has generated over $6.3 billion in box office receipts. What is more, Leonardo doesn’t record voiceovers for animation. If Leonardo DiCaprio isn’t the best, who’s better?

The Martin Lawrence Entertainment Effect

BY: GURU JAY

The Martin Lawrence effect is larger than comedy. Martin Lawrence transformed entertainment via television, movies, and popular culture. The great comedian is the best of his generation. Furthermore, Martin is one of the greatest entertainers of all time.
Martin remembers where he started and knows how to finish. He entertains the masses as if they’re one person. Everyone enjoys Martin’s sitcom reruns and standup specials.
1st Amendment Standup showcased upcoming comics. Because Lawrence cultivated talent, the comedian indirectly influences the entertainment world. Regardless of your preferences, Martin Lawrence proves he is the man! Starring in movies ranging from Rated G to Rated R, Martin makes everybody laugh.

Comedy needed a message and a higher power made Martin Lawrence a messenger. Over the years I’ve watched Martin mature into a living legend. His comedy special Run Tell Dat rivals Eddie Murphy’s Delirious and Katt William’s Kattpacalypse.
Initially, I wanted to write a comparison article but after seeing Lawrence’s Inside the Actors Studio, I decided against it realizing his unique character. Truly, Martin Lawrence is one of a kind. How does the Joker throw out an Ace of Spades every hand? Channeling his creativity, craziness is Martin’s strong suit. 
Through the years Martin managed to keep busy. Even Kevin Hart can’t challenge Martin’s depth of work and countless contributions. The original Def Comedy Jam host steps out on stage like Floyd Mayweather, Jr. moves in the boxing ring.
Moreover, Martin Lawrence seems larger than life because of his unmistakable charisma. Like Richard Pryor, the comedic actor appears affable. The Martin sitcom opened doors for Wayans Brothers, Jamie Foxx, and Steve Harvey.
The best Martin Lawrence movies include: Life, Big Mommas, Bad Boys, Blue Streak, Welcome Home Roscoe Jenkins, Death at a Funeral, National Security, and Wild Hogs. Name your favorites in the comments section. I am Guru Jay launching off into orbit in 5-4-3-2-1!
