Actors Adam Sandler Ben Stiller Celebrity comedians comedy David Spade Eddie Murphy Funny Funny or Die Hollywood Jerry Seinfeld Larry David Movies Tim Allen TV TV and Showbiz Will Ferrell Will Smith

Who’s Better? Jerry Seinfeld Vs. Adam Sandler

BY: GURU JAY

Is Jerry Seinfeld or Adam Sandler funnier? Or should I ask who is luckier? They’re both talented comedians. But, take away Seinfeld’s TV show and he’s average.
Sandler is funnier because his funny bone extends 3 extra inches. Seinfeld is luckier since his sitcom guarantees cash. Some say Sandler is overpaid.
Let’s distinguish between comedic actors and comedians. There’s a difference between scripted sitcoms and live standup routines. Other great comedians constantly get overlooked in this area.
The media doesn’t publicize Will Ferrell, Zach Galifianakis, and Tim Allen enough. That’s why Ferrell created Funny or Die. That’s also why Allen does Chevrolet commercials. For what it’s worth, Seinfeld signed on for Microsoft advertisements.
The comedy business isn’t for the faint of heart. Though Seinfeld and Sandler receive more attention, they pushed their brands hard. Jerry promoted the Bee movie nonstop. And Adam kept on pushing despite a few box office blunders.
Jerry Seinfeld and Adam Sandler are two of the best comedic actors in cinematic history alongside the likes of Eddie Murphy and Will Smith. As a side note, no one really views Smith as a comedic actor.
Do you consider Adam and Jerry great comedians?
What if I threw Ben Stiller into the mix? Would you rather see Ben and Jerry do standup or eat their ice cream? David Spade is another underrated comedian Hollywood doesn’t fully support and appreciate.

What are your favorite Adam Sandler movies? I recommend Grown Ups, Funny People, Happy Gilmore, and Mr. Deeds. Looking back on their careers, not many celebrities are luckier than Sandler and Seinfeld.
Credit Adam’s agent for negotiating lucrative contracts. Thank Larry David for creating Jerry Seinfeld’s sitcom. Do you like Seinfeld better than Everybody Loves Raymond?
I respect TV legends; and, Jerry Seinfeld certainly fits the bill. Also, I admire great comedians; and, Adam Sandler is exceptional. So, who’s better? Well, isn’t Adam always first?

Who’s Winning? Charlie Sheen Vs. Rihanna

BY: GURU JAY


Rihanna has one of the most durable brands in music. And Charlie Sheen is ‘winning!’
Thank you Twitter for promoting this epic battle between Charlie Sheen and Rihanna. In case you missed the boat, Charlie called Rihanna out for refusing to meet his girlfriend at a restaurant. And so, Badgirl Riri tweeted a bad 140 characters to Carlos Estevez after he blasted her via the TMZ train.
If you ask me, they are both full of themselves. Both sides need to loosen up and deflate their egos like NFL balls. Riri has bigger fish to fry than Sheen. And Chuck should just shut his trap.

Charlie, we get it. You are a TV icon. And you made some great movies like Wall Street and Major League. But buddy, music is a different ball game. Rihanna has a navy fleet of supporters.
Rihanna, we get it. Who doesn’t want to meet you? Charlie tried to impress his fiancé. But baby, you do catch more flies with honey than vinegar.
Give Rihanna a break because she deals with millions of crazies everyday. Seriously, look at Charlie’s Twitter and compare it with Rihanna. Sheen should have chosen his words more carefully. 
We haven’t seen the best of Rihanna yet. Not even 27 years old, the Barbados princess hasn’t peaked. At 33, Beyoncé is still Queen Bee and in her prime.
On the flip side, Sheen had his day with Two and a Half Men. Charlie started acting in ’73 largely because of his father Martin’s connections. Sheen can brag all he wants about “experience.” However, he neglects to mention he followed Martin’s footsteps.
Rihanna clawed her way to the top, steadily grinding. She doesn’t deserve Charlie calling her an ‘ungrateful idiot.’ I can’t support Chuck’s blatant disrespect. He should apologize to Rihanna pronto. Anyway, Eminem is a text away from dissing Sheen in a rap.

Best George Clooney Movies

BY: GURU JAY

Every actor aspires to reach George Clooney’s level. His legacy can be likened to Marlon Brando and John Wayne. That’s why casting directors are looking for the next George Clooney.
To those thespians that aspire to be Brad Pitt, take into account that Brad Pitt aspires to be George Clooney. What is more, Clooney established an unshakable reputation in show business. At this point in his career, Sir George can pick and choose roles at leisure.
In the traditional sense, he doesn’t have to audition to win the graces of directors and casting heads alike. He calls the shots and makes bold moves. George seems to give you a piece of himself in every character.
The mysterious celebrity looks the part and acts the role. What are the best George Clooney movies? Have you seen the Michael Clayton movie?
Michael Clayton is one of my favorites. Based on this movie alone, I’d signup my family for a Clooney acting class. Incredibly, Clooney’s filmography consists of a variety of successful box office hits. For instance, Gravity generated $716 million in theater ticket sales.

 
The well-rounded George Clooney thinks outside the box. He showcases his skills in several genres such as: romance, comedies, dramas, action, thrillers and suspense. Moreover, Clooney’s movies are always high quality productions.
I thoroughly enjoyed Ocean’s Eleven. I can’t find any weaknesses with the film. Those Ocean actors are among the greatest ensembles in cinematic history.
The Ides of March and Monuments Men actor/director knows what it takes to create a masterpiece. George’s a master at project development and the production process. Furthermore, he executes to perfection.
Do you think he’s better than Clint Eastwood? One thing is for sure, like Eastwood the legendary Clooney doesn’t hold his tongue or bite his lip. Although George is diplomatic and tactful, he stands by his principles.

action Actors Celebrities Colin Firth comedy Entertainment fighting Hollywood James Bond Kingsman: The Secret Service Mark Strong Michael Caine Movies Samuel L. Jackson Sophie Cookson Taron Egerton

Kingsman: The Secret Service Movie Review

BY: GURU JAY

Want to watch an action-packed movie? Go see Kingsman: The Secret Service. Now playing, Kingsman has already received international recognition.
You’ll enjoy interesting characters played by veteran actors Colin Firth, Michael Caine, and Samuel L. Jackson. Also, newcomers Taron Egerton and Sophie Cookson give noteworthy performances. The casting director selected a talented cast with a nice mixture of skills.
Colin Firth stars as Kingsman Harry, who bailouts Gary (Egerton). Gary’s father died while saving Harry’s life. So, Harry takes Gary under his wing out of respect; and, he grooms the lad.
Gary and the group of recruits undergo tough Kingsman training. They’re drowned. Tied to train tracks. And they jumped out of a jet.
The agency informs the recruits that there’s room for only one Kingsman. Unfortunately, Gary failed their last test. However, in a way he passed with flying colors in my book.
As agent Harry, Firth, makes you believe he is a killing machine. Harry will fight Tom and Dick anywhere and anytime. The film contains the most incredible fight scenes since Bourne Supremacy.
“ Something’s rotten in the state of Denmark.”
Samuel L. Jackson plays Richmond Valentine, a billionaire who concocts an evil notion to reduce world population. Valentine envisions a massacre where everybody kills one another.
Richmond Valentine’s right-hand woman Gazelle kicks ass similar to Edward Scissorhands in the barber seat. Gazelle uses her legs to lower ears. She is one of my favorites.
Harry pays the ultimate sacrifice while trying to stop Valentine. Now, Gary and the Kingsman Secret Service must save the world. Meanwhile, the Swedish Princess lies in Richmond’s prison.
Overall, I give the film 4 stars. Director Matthew Vaughn earns a B+. Give extra credit to the music and editing departments. The screenwriters composed an excellent script. Want to see Kingsman: The Secret Service?

Academy Awards action Actors Bourne Identity Celebs Cristiano Ronaldo Entertainment Hollywood Mark Wahlberg Matt Damon Mission Impossible Movies Oscars Phillip Seymour Hoffman Stars Tom Cruise

Who is the Best Action Movie Star? Matt Damon Vs. Tom Cruise

BY: GURU JAY


The Mission: Impossible and Bourne franchises are the best action movie series to date. Tom Cruise and Matt Damon bring their badass characters to life with their intensity. They kick butt like Cristiano Ronaldo strikes Soccer balls.  
Whether you want some action or not, they will give it to your ass. Over the past 15 years, they’ve built a good reputation. Today, they’re known as the shiniest Hollywood movie stars. 
The Bourne Supremacy ranks in my top 10 favorite action films. I will always remember this Supremacy scene. 


What is brilliant about this sequence is that they’re using their fists instead of guns.
How does Matt Damon make you believe he is Jason Bourne? Like a Mark Wahlberg movie, Damon transforms before our very eyes. Clearly the highly trained actor understands how to captivate his audience.  
In 2002, Matt Damon suffered his first identity crisis as Jason Bourne. His character had more passports and code-names than the President. What is more, Bourne Identity made a great first impression on moviegoers.

The third installment, Bourne Ultimatum, exceeded expectations at the box office by grossing over $440 million worldwide. Ultimatum is by far the trilogy’s highest grossing film. After its completion, Matt Damon entered Hollywood’s elite hall of entertainers.
Moreover, Mission: Impossible 3 showcases nothing but the best. Phillip Seymour Hoffman’s performance is legendary.


You can see how Tom Cruise and Hoffman feed off each other’s energy.
Because of their similarities, I suspect Tom Cruise influenced Matt Damon’s career. The Top Gun sends competition into Oblivion. However, unlike Damon Tom hasn’t won an Academy Award. The judges are out of touch. If the Academy is worth its weight in salt, Tom Cruise will eventually receive an Oscar.
I personally think Tom Cruise is one of the greatest action movie actors of all time. Additionally, I believe the Bourne franchise with Matt Damon sets the tone for the next generation of stars. In a nutshell, Matt Damon is a top action figure but Tom Cruise is best.

Actors Beverly Hills Cop Box Office Celebrities Celebrity comedians comedy comics Coming to America Dave Chappelle Eddie Murphy Entertainment Fandom Funny Hollywood Movies Shrek standup Trading Places

Is Eddie Murphy the Best Comedic Actor Ever?

BY: GURU JAY

Of all celebrity types, standup comedians wear the thickest skin. Even Dave Chappelle gets booed offstage sometimes. Some people are mean, nasty, and never satisfied.
If you have a good sense of humor, a little negativity shouldn’t discourage you. You’ll find that constructive criticism helps propel you to newer heights. Nothing’s stopping you from becoming the next Eddie Murphy.
Comedy’s competitive nature might frighten some. I admire Murphy because he’s fearless. He doesn’t back down from a challenge.
Furthermore, Hollywood still embraces him after four decades. Eddie started on Saturday Night Live in 1980. Since then, he’s always been a conversation starter.
Comedians often impersonate Eddie’s unique laughter. Have you tried laughing like Edward? Man, Murphy is such a character.
If Eddie Murphy was strapped for cash, he could sue everybody who borrows from his ‘Raw’ and ‘Delirious’ comedy specials. Several comics cite Murphy as their influence. Without a doubt, the celebrity is a superior force in entertainment.
Moreover, Eddie Murphy’s movies dominated the 1980s and 1990s. ‘Trading Places,’ the ‘Beverly Hills Cop’ franchise and ‘Coming to America’ are just a few of Eddie’s blockbusters. In addition, the ‘Shrek’ franchise helped earn Eddie Murphy much respect and admiration.
Yes, he’s had many strikeouts, but he hits more home runs than Barry Bonds. If they start testing comedians for performance enhancing drugs, Eddie would fail the test. All I am saying is Murphy’s on steroids because he has a significant advantage.
Did you know Eddie Murphy has generated over $6 billion at the box office? According to box office mojo, he’s made more movie money than any other comedian. He’s currently the fifth highest grossing actor in cinematic history.
In the words of Sam Smith, when you’re in Eddie’s space, you latch on like fangirls. At the peak of the comedian’s fandom, he was first among equals. Out of all comedic actors, Eddie is the best ever.

Academy Awards Actors Batman Ben Affleck Birdman Golden Globes Hollywood Mark Wahlberg Martin Scorsese Matt Damon Michael Keaton Movies snubbed the Departed The Gambler the Oscars

Is Mark Wahlberg Getting Snubbed?

BY: GURU JAY

Who are your top 10 favorite actors? Did the best actors get snubbed at the Golden Globes? I think award committees should nominate more Mark Wahlberg movies.
Is Wahlberg a product of his own success? With a $200 million net worth, the multi-talented celebrity is easily targeted. Indeed, the cash rich actor doesn’t need their charity.
In comparison, Ben Affleck is worth a measly $75 million. In my opinion, Mark Wahlberg would make a more convincing Batman than Ben Affleck. In fact, Affleck’s best friend Matt Damon would fit better into the Dark Knight’s armory. Consequently, fans will compare Ben Affleck with Birdman Michael Keaton forever.
Unfortunately, Hollywood is a wild political animal in need of taming. Reports say that Mark was offered the Robin role. Come on, that’s a Joker. Wahlberg is clearly a natural lead actor. He isn’t anybody’s sidekick.
Affleck schmoozes and mingles with the elite and that’s how Benny affords a jetpack. All actors brownnose but Benjamin is deeply connected and highly influential. Fortunately, Mark Wahlberg is a very important person.
Winners associate with winning. Even New York Yankee season ticketholders revere Boston native Mark Wahlberg. Regardless of their personal preferences people respect the best.
Have you seen the ‘Departed?’ Martin Scorsese directs an amazing cast, which includes Wahlberg. Because of impeccable directing and acting, the movie received multiple Academy Awards.
Without Wahlberg, Hollywood would experience an economic collapse. The red carpet would turn navy blue. Seriously, Mark Wahlberg created lasting opportunities for the next generation of actors, musicians, and producers.
‘The Gambler’ rolls dice and plays Russian roulette. In addition, the celebrity takes over the ‘Transformers’ franchise. Any picture the actor attaches himself to gets photo shopped.
The detractors will say Mark Wahlberg’s mainstream and commercial. And, they’re right. But, Wahlberg handles business. He is one of the best. Yes, Hollywood is snubbing Mark because they’re secretly jealous.
