Tom Hanks Vs. John Travolta: Who Is The Best Legend?

Whenever you doubt your abilities watch Forrest Gump. Forrest Gump played by Tom Hanks beats the odds despite possessing a low IQ. It goes to show you anything is possible.
If you desire nostalgic moments, rewind to “back in the day” and press play on movies such as Saturday Night Fever, Grease, and Look Who’s Talking. Pilot John Travolta flies high in movies and in real life. He’s on everybody’s radar screen from air traffic controllers to movie producers and goers.

Tom Hanks and John Travolta are legends. I use “legend” sparingly because too many folks misuse the word. Moreover, I rarely refer to a living person as a legend. But I believe Travolta and Hanks have done enough.
Obviously, Tom has more fans because his movies are more family friendly. That doesn’t make John any lesser of a movie star though. You see R rated movies are harder to produce than Disney- Pixar flicks.

Still, both celebrities care deeply about their families. This has been well documented. They didn’t run from their responsibilities.

One criticism is that Tom Hanks stays in his square. Do you think Tom plays it too safe? I believe John takes more risks like Taking Pelham 123.
Although I respect Hanks, he’s Steven Spielberg’s surrogate. You can say the same thing about Leonardo DiCaprio belonging to Martin Scorsese. John Travolta doesn’t belong to a director.
Let’s appreciate all they offer in front of the camera and behind the scenes. Actors gush when filming with Tom and John.
It is difficult to determine who is the best. If we’re only discussing numbers, Tom is better. If we’re factoring intangibles, Travolta wins.

The From Paris with Love actor does all the little things right. He came out his mother’s womb acting. The Big star requires a big production, while Travolta can adjust to budget cuts.
Both have mastered their crafts. Both have debuted world premieres. There is only one Tom Hanks and John Travolta per generation.

Aziz Ansari Celebs Chris Tucker comedy Funny Get Hard Guru Jay Hollywood Kevin Hart Let Me Explain Martin Lawrence Movies Real Husbands Ride Along Standup Comics Supernova Tracy Morgan What Now Tour

How Kevin Hart Became A Supernova

BY: GURU JAY
  
In my first semester of undergrad I received all A’s. This hot redhead I hanged with teased, “you’re an overachiever.” I told her I’m only an achiever with 4 different scholarships to maintain.


They say Kevin Hart overachieves too, but he really doesn’t. Like Aziz Ansari, Hart is a scholar of comedy. And he is a rock star.


This comedian made himself into a global brand and universal star. Could he be the first comic to harness solar energy? What does the Let Me Explain comic think about going green?

There’s something bigger and better than money, which drives Kevin Hart into action. Sure, the celeb has a lucrative endorsement with Ford. But like me, what truly drives him is passion.

The Real Husbands of Hollywood celeb achieved a lot. If he’s not on a comedy tour, he’s filming his TV show and movies. Kevin Hart succeeds in the comedy business because he doesn’t quit. Tough competitors outperform others because closing doors ring bells.

After your dreams become reality, what will you do next? Look at the Get Hard and Ride Along actor as a perfect example. Although he could have rested on his laurels, Kevin went on world tours. This man has been everywhere telling everyone his jokes.

I won’t say he makes me laugh harder than Chris Tucker, Tracy Morgan, and Martin Lawrence. I will say he grinds harder than Tony Hawk. Hollywood insiders respect his hustle. Who can challenge the naturally funny man’s supernatural work ethic?

Kevin Hart became a supernova overtime. Early on, he decided Hollywood stardom wasn’t enough. In the process, this superstar built an unrivaled fandom on social media.

What comedian comes close to drawing Kevin Hart’s numbers at shows? He has unmatchable brand/star power. To sum it up, where there’s passion, there’s profit.

Actress Celebs Entertainment Entourage Expendables 3 Fighters Furious 7 Guru Jay Hollywood Stars Judo Mixed Martial Arts Movies Olympians Roadhouse Ronda Rousey Showtime Sport Stars the Rock UFC WWE

Why Ronda Rousey Is A Sport And Movie Star

BY: GURU JAY


When I was a child I played the UFC video game for GameCube. I remember winning fights in under 30 seconds against Player 2 and the Computer. Right now Ronda Rousey can force tap outs in as little as 15 seconds.

Why is she special? First, she seems unbeatable. Secondly, Ronda looks like a supermodel.
I won’t say the judges are biased. But conducting yourself like Miss America has advantages. And Ronda’s perky personality is contagious.
Sure, the girl with ‘junk in her trunk’ talks trash. However, even the best product needs marketing. There’s media frenzy around Rousey because she dominates her opponents.
Plus, the Fighter of the Year could eventually win an Oscar. She shows a promising acting career. Let’s talk about Entourage, Expendables 3, and Furious 7. The fight scene with Michelle Rodriguez was unforgettable.

It is ironic the 28 year old used to bartend for a living. She went from mixing drinks to mixed martial arts. Ronda Rousey represents change.
It is important to acknowledge the best athletes regardless of sex. I believe deserving female sport stars should make more money. As long as Rousey stays on top, she should earn a top payday.
The UFC champion is one of the greatest because she is likely working out at the gym right this moment. Did you know she was an Olympian at Beijing? She learned Judo from her mother, who is an Olympics legend.

There’s something about Ronda. She doesn’t accept giveaways, freebies, or settle for seconds. She wants to work for her rewards. And doesn’t she work hard for the money? I would treat her right.

Ronda realizes she’s in a position to inspire people. Squirrels can’t crack this tough nut. In a nutshell, Ronda Rousey is a sport and movie star with a bright future.

Actress Amanda Seyfried Celebs Chloe movie entertainers filmography Glitz and Glamor Guru Jay Hollywood Stars Jennifer Lawrence Jennifer's Body Lovelace Millennial Movies Scarlett Johansson Ted 2 cast

What Is Amanda Seyfried’s Secret?

BY: GURU JAY

There are many actresses but few movie stars. Amanda Seyfried’s big name lights up theater screenings around the world. Moreover, the Millennial movie star illuminates multiple generations.
For the love of entertainment, I hope she becomes Superwoman. You can’t honestly compare her to Scarlett Johansson or Jennifer Lawrence without factoring Captain America and Hunger Games into your equation. To her credit, you must recognize her enormous contributions.
Red Riding Hood, Jennifer’s Body, and Chloe come to mind when discussing Amanda’s exceptional filmography. She’s young enough to experience incredible breakthroughs. Don’t you think the celebrity doesn’t desire hundreds of additional stalkers? Anyway, her showings are fantastic. From Big Loveto Lovelace, what’s not to love about Amanda Seyfried?

Seyfried played a cute pot smoking lawyer in Ted 2all too well. The doll-faced girl displays a great sense of humor. Amazingly, she can laugh at her sexy curves while in front of a mirror.
Applaud the actress for choosing controversial roles throughout her illustrious career. As a Millennial, Amanda is living out the elusive American Dream. However, show business was made for this hot Hollywood starlet to sparkle.
They say, “there’s no business like show business.” Moreover, there’s no actress like Amanda Seyfried. I believe I’m watching a ballerina dance. Amanda keeps acting as if she’s a starving artist. She craves excellence.
What director doesn’t want to direct Amanda? I never seen a performer more devoted to performance arts. She does the necessary duties that some actors feel are beneath them. That’s why the celeb can work with everybody. Plus, the jaw dropping beauty commands extra attention.

She should consider teaching. Don’t you want to learn her secret? What is her special recipe? Amanda Seyfried’s secret formula lies in her makeup- not the external kind for your face, but what’s internal- within your heart.

Actress Amy Schumer comedy entertainers Funny Ghostbusters Guru Jay Hollywood Stars Identity Thief Jimmy Fallon Jimmy Kimmel Melissa McCarthy Mike and Molly Movies Spy Standup Comics Tracy Morgan

Why Melissa McCarthy Ain’t Afraid of No Ghost

BY: GURU JAY

If you want to deliver a timely joke, don’t bother with UPS, Fed EX, and certainly the post office. Melissa McCarthy delivers the complete package ahead of schedule. The Ghostbusters lead actress answers the epic question: who you gonna call?
As Mike’s better half, she made you laugh on TV. Do you catch Mike and Molly reruns? Plus, she stole Jason Bateman’s credit in Identity Thief. Are you getting my drift?
Prepare to lose your monopoly game against Melissa McCarthy. She gives McCarthyism a new meaning. You see I like her professionalism. The comedic actor doesn’t waste time or talent. What is more, the comedian paved the way for future entertainers.
Doesn’t she have a strong influence on Amy Schumer? People enjoy seeing Molly shine because Mel’s down-to-earth. Although some let fame go to their noggins, not this gal. After watching numerous interviews, you’ll discover she’s a sweetie.

Imagine her starring opposite Tracy Morgan. Talk about a movie selling itself.
Now, I’m not saying the Spy star doesn’t have a wild side. There is a reason Hollywood movers and shakers knock on her dressing room door. Did you know she is a fashion queen?
The best celebrities build brands as well as careers. Moreover, Melissa McCarthy works with the best. That’s why she is a great comedian.
Never underestimate the former gymnast’s flexibility. When you have a chance, check out the comic’s Saturday Night Live scenes for proof. The celeb’s Improv skills are top notch.
Let’s petition a Melissa McCarthy late show. Jimmy Kimmel and Jimmy Fallon should have perfect competition. 
Genuine laughter is harder to produce than crude oil. Right now, Jeff Foxworthy and Larry the Cable Guy’s tickets cost more than a barrel of oil. This is a sign of the times.
In summary, Melissa McCarthy brings it on home. She isn’t scared to speak her mind. And, fans appreciate her honesty.

American Hustle Celebs Christian Bale Entertainment Exodus: Gods and Kings Famous Guru Jay Hollywood Knight of Cups Method Actors Movies The Dark Knight The Fighter The Machinist Top 5 Movie Stars

Why Christian Bale Is A Top 5 Actor

BY: GURU JAY

In Hollywood, it only takes 1 movie to create 10,000 jobs. What is more, 1 actor can affect the whole entertainment world. Am I being a bit dramatic?
Although I am channeling soap operas, this is relevant. Christian Bale is a topnotch celebrity. He is one in a million.
I believe Bale is the best method actor of Generation X. Who else literally transforms? Like a Mighty Morphin Power Ranger, Christian morphs into characters.
American Hustle and The Machinist
For art’s sake, Christian Bale dramatically changed his body by gaining excessive fat for American Hustle, and losing extreme weight for The Machinist. Movie buffs must admire the celeb’s dedication to his craft. This shows he challenges his limitations more than any director or producer possibly can. Like Scarface’s song, he “pushes it to the limit.”
And that’s why the world is his.


Should Bale have won Best Actor Oscar for American Hustle? I’m on the fence, because the entire cast was perfect. And, I don’t believe an Academy Award totally defines a performer. Plus, we haven’t seen his best yet.
We’ve seen his worst- Terminator Salvation. I remember waking up in the theater shortly before the credits started rolling. Still, this showing doesn’t discount his overall career achievements.  
Top 5 Actor
I saw The Dark Knight in Imax right before my first day of class. It was a great time seeing Christian Bale and Heath Ledger go toe-to-toe as Batman versus the Joker. Isn’t it amazing how comic books come alive?
You can tell that Bale bled, sweated, and cried for this movie. The fine art of filmmaking is intricate. That’s why you need dozens of people involved in the editing process.

Would the glorious actor make a great director? Christian has it in him due to his meticulous nature. I consider him a top 5 actor, because he will go the extra distance. Without question, there are only a handful of movie stars playing in his league.

Action Stars best actors Celebs Creed First Blood Greatness Guru Jay How To Be Great Inspiration Life Motivation Motivation Monday Movies Moving Forward Rambo Rocky Success Stories Sylvester Stallone

Moving Forward Like Sylvester Stallone

BY: GURU JAY

  
People love reading success stories and watching inspirational movies. Moreover, a great celebrity motivates fans. From Rocky and Rambo to the Expendables and beyond, movie star Sylvester Stallone succeeds because of his desire to achieve greatness. What would happen if more celebrities followed Stallone’s blueprint and aimed to be exceptional models instead of being targeted photo ops?
When you reach a roadblock or come to a dead-end, right then you must figure out how to move forward. First, my advice to you is to take a few steps back, so you see how far you’ve come already. Secondly, realize sometimes that there isn’t a right or wrong answer. Finally, prepare to face tough decisions.

Sylvester Stallone understands “when the going gets tough, the tough gets going.” But what happens when the tough gets tougher and you’re stranded on Gilligan’s Island? This time you’re at the crossroads- the intersection of your life. I believe you should possess a steadfast mindset. Remember your mentality reflects your reality.
In practically every Sylvester Stallone movie, he works philosophical components into the story. I could write a 10-page piece about motivational speeches from Rocky alone. The genius of Stallone is that all his characters have shortcomings- nobody’s perfect. However, the celeb supplements his flaws with sheer willpower.

In other words, don’t go down without a fight. Find something great inside you and move forward like Sylvester Stallone. I recommend rereading 33 Motivational Quotes, Song Lyrics, and Movie Lines. You could spend 6 hours digesting this information.
Moving forward entails setbacks and false starts. Although life is full of sprints, it mostly consists of marathons. The landscape of Hollywood is both soft and rough. If you want to jump over the hurdles, it’s better to jog or walk because of those soft spots and rough patches.
