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.

Academy Awards actresses Cameron Diaz Celebrities entertainers Entertainment Gone Girl Hollywood IMDB Movies Oscars Paparazzi producers Reese Witherspoon Richard Sherman TMZ Tom Cruise

Reese Witherspoon Vs. Cameron Diaz

BY: GURU JAY

Reese Witherspoon

Thespian Reese Witherspoon delivers terrific performances because she stretches her roles. There aren’t many actresses that possess Witherspoon’s talent level. Perpetrators imitate movie stars like Reese everyday to no avail.

The Louisiana slugger is a seasoned veteran who tackles obstacles like Richard Sherman. Sometimes Witherspoon stirs up trouble with her silver tongue mouth. TMZ released video footage of a drunken Reese talking back to police during a traffic stop.

Who decided to prop celebrities up on pedestals? All it takes is a single screw-up and their careers are severely damaged. Paparazzi cause so much destruction.

Luckily for Reese Witherspoon, bad publicity didn’t hurt her. Because the celebrity is a very important person she receives a pass. Who hasn’t seen a Witherspoon movie?

The ‘Gone Girl’ producer and ‘Legally Blonde’ actress appeared in her first film 25 years ago. She is worth at least $80 million. If you need a blockbuster, negotiate with Witherspoon.

Cameron Diaz

Cameron Diaz belongs in the best actress discussion. The adorable Diaz demonstrates massive appeal. Cameron’s down-to-earth nature and lighthearted persona are her best qualities.

Cameron’s doesn’t need validation from the Oscars. The celebrity is worth over $90 million. Who needs the Academy, when you’re on the Forbes list?

How can you talk about Diaz without acknowledging Tom Cruise? Movie stars Cameron and Cruise always shine brightest together. I love ‘Vanilla Sky’ largely because of Cameron’s involvement.

If you want an entertaining movie, visit Cameron’s IMDB profile for a complete list. Diaz doesn’t disappoint as far as entertainment. The creative performance artist paints masterpieces.

Aspiring celebrities should take note of Cameron’s style. She shows appreciation to fans. Finally, Cameron embraces her audience with virtual hugs and kisses.

Reese and Cameron have several similarities. They are both tremendously gifted celebrities. Witherspoon is the best actress. But Diaz is a better entertainer.

The Case of Tom Cruise V. Matthew McConaughey: Who is the Best Movie Lawyer?

BY: GURU JAY
The Sandra Bullock and Julia Roberts Argument
Are you a fan of Sandra Bullock and Julia Roberts? I’m a big fan. I appreciate their acting as well as their philanthropy. I like how they present themselves. 
But I’m baffled about this. Who is the best actress? I’m always on the hunt for the cream of the crop.
Even though I haven’t seen Gravity starring Sandra Bullock, I still believe she is the best in the world. Moreover, Sandra and Julia are 2 of the top 10 highest paid actresses. Bullock and Roberts have both won Academy Awards.
However, Sandra is the more perfect actress. I give her a 4.0 and Julia a 3.8. Sandra Bullock has an edge because of her diversity of roles.
If we’re strictly talking romances, Julia wins. But Bullock has proven she is the champion. Roberts and Bullock rank in my top 5 for best actresses.
Sandra took on more risks and challenges while Julia Roberts played it safe. Dare I say Julia leeched off Tom Hanks in Larry Crowne and Charlie Wilson’s War? Isn’t it obvious?
Here’s an analogy to put things in perspective for you: Tom Hanks is to Julia Roberts, what Tom Cruise is to Cameron Diaz. I have nothing against Cameron. I wrote about her.
The point is Sandra Bullock’s skills are superior to Julia Roberts right now. Five years ago this wasn’t the case. Julia Roberts was better then.
Who remembers Pretty Woman and Erin Brockovich? Don’t forget about The Blind Side. Imagine Julia and Sandra in the same movie.
At the end of the day, I put my money on Sandra Bullock. She is a hard worker who is consistent. And, she looks amazing at 50.
Tom Cruise V. Matthew McConaughey
I wonder why Cruise uses the shortened form of Thomas and why McConaughey doesn’t go by Matt. Do you know the answer? I ask because Matthew’s last name is long enough.
Just like Schwarzenegger, I “Googled,” and “Binged” his name for correct spelling. Let’s give him a nickname. How about Matt Mack?
Like his height, Tom Cruise’s name is short. You love Tom because he is a miniature Matthew. Matt is beloved for his taller stature. Anyway, they have many similarities.
Is it coincidental that these actors portray Hollywood’s finest lawyers? What if they starred in the same film? Picture this: (closed captioned) The Ultimate Lawyer Movie starring Matt McConaughey and Thomas Cruise. 
The Trailer Script
In The Ultimate Lawyer Movie Matt and Thomas are prestigious lawyers in a head to head battle. Both have distinguished law practices in Beverly Hills. Who will win in case of Cruise V. McConaughey? Written, Directed, and Produced BY: GURU JAY
I bet you that movie would gross $1 billion. Tom and Matthew are basically walking ATMs. Moreover, their fan bases span the whole globe.
They are two world heavyweight champions in the acting arenas. Matthew’s a southern boy who will seduce you with his charm. Tom’s charisma on a scale of 100 is 97.
The best movie lawyers eat charisma like cereal. George Clooney’s good. Have you seen Michael Clayton? Movie lawyers come in all types. District Attorneys are my favorite. (S/O Harvey Dent)
Of course, Tom is a top 10 actor. I don’t want to take away from his brilliance. But, why isn’t Matt on the money list? He’s won an Oscar but it seems the executives refuse to pay the piper. Let that be a lesson to actors who’d do anything for a trophy.
Lincoln Lawyer
McConaughey plays Mickey Haller, a criminal defense attorney, in Lincoln Lawyer. I’ve seen this movie twice. If you’re thinking about studying law, see this film first. You might change your mind either way.
Lawyer movies pose a real danger to America’s workforce. Everybody wants to go to law school after seeing the famous “You Can’t Handle The Truth” scene. Legal dramas such as Law & Order and Suits are also guilty of selling us pipe dreams. 40 million attorneys filing motions is the last thing we need.
Do all lawyers want to be doctors? Well, some attorneys call themselves doctors of law? Seriously, since lawyers sue hospitals, they’re all too familiar with the medical/financial benefits rewarded to brain, heart and plastic surgeons. What is more, it’s true that every doctor wants to be a trial lawyer.
Foot physicians (podiatrists) dine alongside dentists, vetenerians, optometrists, ear doctors and chiropractors at the millionaire’s club. Tom Cruise and Matthew McCanoughey inspire us to make millions while enjoying our passion.
A Few Good Men
A Few Good Men is perhaps the best courtroom drama ever. Ironically, only a few films can compete for top honors. A Few Good Men blurs the lines because it’s also a military movie.
Tom Cruise plays Judge Advocate Lieutenant Kaffee. Jack Nicholson is the infamous Colonel Jessup. Demi Moore also carries out her duties in the film. If you like courtroom dramas and army movies, then look up A Few Good Men.
John Girsham’s A Time to Kill borrows from To Kill a Mockingbird. It’s an updated version of Harper Lee’s classic. In the movie, Matthew McConaughey defends Samuel L. Jackson. The lead actress is none other than Sandra Bullock.
I respect McConaughey for his role choices. Matthew could have been a major action star on par with Bruce Willis. Instead he kept his art pure. Hence, he is an Oscar winner.
You’d think that action movies give Tom Cruise a clear advantage. To the contrary, drama and action are totally different genres. Additionally, Tom and Matt have unique styles.
Tom is aggressive and Matthew’s more assertive. Tom is the guy yelling in the courtroom. Matthew uses tactics to trap and confuse his witnesses.
Your Honor, I object
Have you noticed in movies and TV, the trial lawyer always stands and says, “Your Honor, I object?” Sometimes the witness says, “I plead the fifth.”
Verdict
In the case of Tom Cruise V. Matthew McConaughey …After carefully weighing the evidence (movie clips, filmographies, and opinions) Judge Guru Jay has a verdict…I rule in favor of Mr. McConaughey.

Top 50 Independence Day Weekend Movies

Happy Independence Day! In honor of the 50 United States of America, I present to you the Top 50 Independence Day Weekend movies.


Hawaii is the 50th American state.

Katy Perry’s Firework is a suitable start to this special occasion. Check out Beyonce’s God Bless the USA and Jimi Hendrix’s Star Spangled Banner @ Woodstock.




How many hot dog eating championships does Joey Chestnut have left in him? 

In my previous article, I said Rotten Tomatoes and movie critics are pointless. As you can see, Rotten Tomatoes gives Problem Child 2 a 7 % rating. But wait, the movie is 50th all time in box office receipts.

So you think you can be a movie critic? Go ahead and dance instead.

The Adventures of Rocky & Bullwinkledebuted when I was a child. I couldn’t believe they got Robert De Niro to star in the film. I wished my grandma were alive to watch it with me. Rocky & Bullwinkle was her favorite cartoon.

I am impressed by the success of the Katy Perry and Kevin Hart specials. But the Karate Kid Part II clearly belongs in the top 50. I like it better than the new Karate Kid. The first franchise is forever legendary.


License to Wed
starring Robin Williams and Mandy Moore also receive 7 % from Rotten Tomatoes. O.k. from now on I refuse to mention the smelly website.


Any movie with Robin Williams automatically earns a 50 percent cushion. The comedian is half man, half crazy (I mean comedic genius, laugh out loud). I recommend you go to IMDB for more reliable ratings.

Back to the Future deserves a place in the Library of Congress. Michael J. Fox and Christopher Lloyd created a masterpiece. The film is one of the best time travel movies in existence. It is an absolute must-see summer fun movie. See if you can watch it tonight.

South Park and Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers make the top 40. I remember seeing South Park late at night. And, Power Rangers came on in the morning just before school started. It’s pretty cool when television shows get made into motion pictures.

My jaw dropped as soon as I saw Larry Crowne at #36. But then again, Tom Hanks and Julia Roberts blend so well together. They’re like a strawberry mango smoothie with extra ice on a sweltering hot summer day.

Tom Hanks is the #1 all time movie star. And, at 46 years old Julia Roberts makes $10 million, which is unheard of for a working actress. So, Larry Crowne is a logical winner.


Have you seen Savages (2012)? You can’t go wrong with Oliver Stone and John Travolta. Of course, Blake Lively is a tasty ingredient to any Rachael Ray recipe.

A League of Their Own is #32 all time. The movie premiered in 1992. Think about that for a minute. How high would the film rank if these numbers were adjusted for inflation? I think it is easily in the top 10.

Sequels seem to do strikingly well on Independence Day weekend. Scary Movie 2 and Legally Blonde 2 are prime examples. Both movies make you cry from laughter. Credit goes to Wayans and Witherspoon.

Reese plays your typical blonde with a tequila twist. Ironically, she is a brainiac in the movie. Of course, Marlon Wayans is a maniac in all of his movies. In addition, Die Hard 2: Die Harder is #27 all time.

There is not a Sixth Sense blockbuster without Die Hard. Bruce became BRUCE WILLIS by starring in the Die Hard series. He is one of the greatest action heroes in history because of his earlier career success. 

Let’s jump down 1 on the list. Look at #25. I had Pre-Law as an elective in high school. Our class watched The Patriot starring Mel Gibson. He gives a heartfelt performance. What is more, the film is based on the American Revolution.

Public Enemies, Apollo 13, The Firm and The Devil Wears Prada round out the top 30. I’ve seen all four and enjoyed each one. I’ll string together a few words: Johnny Depp, Tom Hanks, Tom Cruise and Meryl Streep. When you get top talent like that, it pretty much begins to sell itself.

Will Smith highlights the top 20. I’ve watched these three movies and give them all good grades. #20 Wild Wild West, #12 Independence Day, and #11 Men in Black The moral of the story is to release a Will Smith movie on the 4th of July.

Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger holds the 18th and 13th spots. Now answer me this: Would you have elected Schwarzenegger if you didn’t fear being terminated?


He’ll be back…

As I conclude, do you see how the best summer movies open on Independence Day weekend?

Men in Black II ranks 10th all time. My pet peeve is the debut date. Fans should never have to wait 5 years for a sequel. That’s why I have doubts about Avatar 2.

At #9 and #8 are Superman Returns and the Amazing Spider-Man respectively. Hancock is 7th all time. The Twilight Saga: Eclipse takes the 6th spot like a vampire at night in Kristen Stewart’s room.


War of the Worlds is alive at #5. Who would have thought the man born on the 4th is President Jefferson in the flesh via Tom Cruise’s body. Is he on every top 5 list ever created?


Photo By: Georges Biard

And now the Mount Rushmore: #4 Transformers. The 2007 film is the 1st installment of an incredible franchise. #3 Despicable Me 2…1 word: Happy. 

#2 Spider-Man 2 I still believe Tobey Maguire is the best Spider-Man. But, in fairness to Andrew Garfield I need to see the new installments.

Send me a DVD please. Really Garfield, do you pretend to own Facebook? On a serious note, Transformers Dark of the Moon is number 1. The Transformersseries is virtually unstoppable. It’s Michael Bay’s way or the highway, people.

Top 10 Highest Paid Actors

BY: GURU JAY

Top 10 Highest Paid Actors

Who is your favorite actor? Do you like money? Here is a list of the top 10 highest paid actors.

10. Liam Neeson, $32 Million

Photo By: Georges Biard

One word: Taken. The actor has stolen the spotlight from Hugh Jackman, Russell Crowe and others on numerous occasions. He’s in an elite acting class.

Have you seen Non-Stop?  Neeson is not slowing down even at age 62. Neeson’s career is full of achievements. He’s like a decorated soldier.

The box office is all about the dollar. As you know I love numbers. That’s why I like Liam Neeson.

Neeson has been involved with several blockbusters. He starred in Star Wars, Batman, and the Chronicles of Narnia. Basically, Liam Neeson puts butts in seats.

He is the 10th highest paid actor. Liam made 32 million dollars last year. Movie executives, producers and directors are proud to have him on their team.

9. Denzel Washington, $33 Million

Photo By: S. Jaud

Denzel Washington was born to act. Did you know his mother named him after the doctor who delivered him? Denzel deserves every ounce of respect.

He started off his career humbly. His claim to fame took countless sacrificial years. He displayed brilliance in John Q.

If you have yet to see it, I highly recommend the film. Denzel Washington doesn’t mind playing the villain. In fact, he embraces being the antagonist.

That’s why he thrived in American Gangster, Training Day and Malcolm X. He actually turned down the chance to play MLK. Denzel is an impressive and tough act to follow.

Washington made $33 million last year. He earned $20 million from Equalizer. Do you like Denzel Washington?


8. Tom Cruise, $35 Million

Photo By: MTV Live

If you’re having money troubles, call Tom Cruise. His acting skills will bail you out of a jam. Of course, you have to pay him top dollar.

The Top Gun actor is on top of the totem pole. He’s been in the business for a long time. And, he is still in high demand for many reasons.

He’s short in stature but he is a tall glass of water. Women gawk at his sight. Cruise’s time in the gym has paid dividends.

Did you see Mission Impossible III? The cast had electric chemistry. All the Missions were good.

Now, Tom is not a saint but his acting is close to perfect. As a result of his hardworking workaholic work ethic, Tom Cruise made $35 million last year. This is proof he is the best. Who is the next Tom Cruise? Who knows?

7. Adam Sandler, $37 Million

Photo By: Angela George

Adam Sandler is the funniest man on the list. I mean he is a comedian after all. But, did you know Adam is a great dramatic actor?

Watch Reign Over Me. Sandler showcases the range of his talents. He’s more than one dimension.

The funny man made $37 million in 2013. My only knock on Sandler is his role selections. He must take more pride in his stride and stop accepting junk parts.

6. Leonardo DiCaprio, $39 Million

Photo By: Siebbi

His name sounds like your favorite Starbucks’ latte. But, how can you blame DiCaprio when he didn’t choose his name? Anyway, the girls don’t mind.

Shakespeare said, “A rose by any other name would smell as sweet.” The Romeo and Juliet actor attracts a loyal and supportive crowd. He’s been in the game for a long time. You must appreciate his body of work.

Two words: The Titanic. Leonardo DiCaprio owes his good fortune to the misfortune that happened on the Titanic. Without this movie, Leonardo’s name would be smaller.

Leo DiCaprio is big. How big? He made $39 million. It doesn’t take an accountant…to figure out that’s a no-brainer.

5. Dwayne Johnson, $46 Million

Photo By: Eva Rinaldi

The Rock a.k.a. Dwayne Johnson is the new and improved Sylvester Stallone. Did you see Pain & Gain? Are you standing in line to see Hercules?

I predict Hercules will be a huge success. The casting department got the right man for the job. People say he lives in the gym. No, he is the gym.

Dwayne is authentic. That is the key to his success. Why isn’t he in Expendables? He is indispensable.


Get out of the kitchen if you smell what the Rock is cooking. 


Dwayne Johnson had a great year. The actor received $46 million. He is a must-see movie star.


4. Mark Wahlberg, $52 Million

Photo By: Eva Rinaldi

Mark Wahlberg a.k.a. Marky Mark is an outstanding actor. He’s the white Will Smith. Smith is the black Mark Wahlberg.

Either way you look at it, Marky Mark’s got the good vibrations. Wahlberg is the new and enhanced Tom Cruise. Also, his sense of humor is underrated. Did you like him in The Other Guys and Ted

Mark Wahlberg made $52 million. He is the 4th highest paid actor. The Transformersis an absolute must-see summer fun and family friendly movie.


3. Hugh Jackman, $55 Million

Photo By: Gage Skidmore

Hugh Jackman is the greatest Australian actor ever. Statistically, he has the box office results to back up that claim. This is one of his best years financially and artistically.

Click here for full review of X-Men: Days of Future Past. Hugh is the ultimate Wolverine. I feel sorry for his successor. 

Hugh Jackman received $55 million last year. He was underpaid. Still, he is the 3rd highest paid actor.

2. Channing Tatum, $60 Million


Photo By: Wcfirm

Channing Tatum is the highest paid actor of his generation. 22 Jump Street is also an absolute must-see summer fun flick. Will you buy the DVD?

He was great in White House Down. The good thing is he’s getting better. He could be bigger than Brad Pitt.

Channing is more famous than Dave. He is the 2nd highest paid actor. He made $60 million in 2013.

1. Robert Downey, Jr., $75 Million

Photo By: Georges Biard

Acting is in Robert Downey, Jr.’s blood. Making money in the performance arts is a family tradition. You can’t deny Downey, Jr. has a gift.

However, the Iron Man is overpaid. He was fine in Sherlock Holmes. But, who will call it like they see it?

I will.

Robert Downey Jr. received $75 million. He was in 1 movie! Hollywood has it backwards. Whoever wrote Downey, Jr. that check should be scratching his head. Better yet, he should get his head examined.

Predictions

I predict Chris Evans a.k.a. Captain America will make the top 10 sooner than later. And, Will Smith may make a list or two if he gets back into the groove. Also, Jennifer Lawrence will command a much higher salary in the future.

Actors Box Office Famous Harrison Ford Highest Grossing Morgan Freeman Movies Samuel L. Jackson Tom Cruise Tom Hanks Top Ten

Top 10 Actors

BY: GURU JAY

Wannabe Famous

How many actors wish they had won an Oscar? Every actor dreams about accepting an Academy Award. Half of them have already prepared their speeches.

I’m not in show business but I have an Oscar speech ready if I ever decide to write a movie script. I have seriously thought about what I would say. I know many others have done the same as me.

Millions of young men fantasize about playing basketball in the NBA. Growing up, I used to practice shooting like Kobe Bryant, dribbling like Allen Iverson and dunking like Shaquille O’Neal.

Since I was a boy, I loved watching and playing basketball. When I was in eighth grade the Los Angeles Lakers were playing the Philadelphia 76ers. My two favorite players, Bryant and Iverson were going head-to-head.

Iverson would drive to the basket. And, Shaquille O’Neal would foul him hard. Iverson literally took a beating from Shaq in the 2001 NBA Finals. It’s one of the memories that have stuck with me.

I wanted to be famous. When we were young, becoming famous was a challenge. Nobody had a reality show yet. If you really wanted to be a celebrity, you only had a few options: actor, athlete, singer, and politician.

If you were born before 1990, your idea of fame is a lot different than the next generation. Right now, it’s so easy to get famous. All you have to do is make your content go viral.

If you absolutely want to be famous, you can. Give it a day and the whole world will know your name.

Tom Hanks, Al Pacino, and Russell Crowe have all won Oscars. They are identified in movie trailers as “Academy Award Winning Actors.” Why does winning an Oscar carry so much weight?

A better question to ask is why do actors want an Oscar so badly. And, the answer is simple. Actors are no different from you and me. By winning the Award their pay increases by 81 percent.

The Forbes article shows a thorough breakdown of the effects of winning an Oscar. Not only do actors benefit financially, they benefit socially. There are not many social functions an Oscar winning actress cannot attend.

It is important to remember that Los Angeles is a business district. Hollywood Boulevard is just like Wall Street. Movie executives share similar interests with Fortune 500 CEOS.

It’s all about the mean green machine. Cash is king. The Dollar is the kingmaker. The following actors are the highest grossing thespians on the silver screen.

As a side note, the list will update soon. Samuel L. Jackson’s rank has improved to number 1.

Listen to For the Love of Money for more entertainment.

Click on the Highlighted Actor’s name for more information.

Top Ten Actors

10.


He is held in high esteem for his craft. The Iron Man and the Sherlock Holmesseries is the real reason he makes the list. Also, he has been in show business since he was a child. Longevity is the key to making our list.

9.


Whenever I think of Depp scoring big at the box office I always think about his several blockbuster hits. If I’m being honest, I couldn’t tell you the difference between Johnny Depp and Johnny Bravo until Pirates of the Caribbean was released.

8.


Robin Williams is the definition of humor. What more can I say? He is a duo threat. He is the best at doing both comedy and drama.

7.


Bruce Willis is my mom’s favorite actor. He is one of the best action stars in my book. I’m sure he has a high page-rank in your book too. If you’re deciding to make a movie, make Bruce Willis your star. You’ll see a big box office jump.

6.

He defines action. He also is not too shabby at drama and suspense. You can’t deny his talent on the silver screen. When he’s not jumping on couches, he’s making movies that are making crazy money.

5.

Samuel L. Jackson is the right man for the job if you need a tough guy. Most of his characters are bold, strong and witty. He is a fine actor.

4.

Eddie Murphy was crowned king of show business in the 1980s. Since then, he still has done reasonably well at the box office. He is the best comedic actor ever. He’s pretty good at drama also.

3.

Why doesn’t someone give Harrison Ford an Oscar? What is wrong with the entertainment world? Why didn’t he win an Academy Award for the Fugitive?

Man, I’m so upset right now. This man is one of the best actors the world has ever seen. He ought to be giving the Academy board members awards!

2.

Morgan Freeman

The filmography of Morgan Freeman is priceless. You have got to respect the man for his roles. In every movie, he is in a position of power. He calls his own shots.

Every movie executive wants to make a film with Freeman. First of all, his voice should get trademark. Furthermore, he commands attention from everyone. He is a legend.

1.

Tom Hanks is number one out of ten. According to the list, no other actor has grossed higher at the box office. He has been in a multitude of influential films.

Not all his movies were successful. But hey, you live and you learn.

Look up actor in the dictionary, and chances are Tom Hanks’s picture is next to the word. His career has been amazing. All actors should study his body of work.

Angelina Jolie Brad Pitt Celebrity cool David Beckham Guru Jay Halle Berry Jennifer Lopez Lucy Liu meditation niche Phillip Seymour Hoffman Refrigeration Niche Tom Cruise

What is the Refrigeration Niche?

By: Guru Jay
As I got ready to write this post, I spilled coffee on my computer. Because I am a blogger my computer is a good friend. So, after nursing my computer back to health, I took some time to meditate. 

I thought to myself why the heck am I rushing? Cool is not rushed. You all are cool. That’s why I strive for coolness everyday.

What is the Refrigeration Niche?
Would you like to know more about the Refrigeration Niche?  It’s a new concept about how to live life, how to approach situations, and how to connect with people.

Think about Tom Cruise. He was always cool. Go in your dictionary and look up the word cool. If Tom Cruise’s photo is not in the text, then throw your dictionary in the trash.  Ok, don’t actually do that. But, try to find a better dictionary.
Mission Impossible III is a cool movie. The protagonist is Tom Cruise and the antagonist is the late great Phillip Seymour Hoffman.  For more information go here: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0317919/You will enjoy.

By all means Tom Cruise is cool. Who else is cool?  Halle Berry, Angelina Jolie, Brad Pitt, Lucy Liu, Jennifer Lopez, and David Beckham. The aforementioned all have terrific branding power.
Here’s an awesome YouTube video of Jennifer Lopez http://youtu.be/dly6p4Fu5TE
How cool is Jenny? Her video was made before YouTube was invented. And guess what? It has more than 33 million views.
I’m an accountant, so I love numbers. Jenny from the Block also has more than 95 percent favorability (likes versus dislikes).  She is a solid brand. That’s why American Idol pays her $17.5 million dollars.
Jennifer Lopez is the third highest paid “judge” on television.  Here’s a nice story on that topic http://www.buzzfeed.com/jaimieetkin/jennifer-lopez-american-idol-salaryHer humble beginnings and versatility is inspiring. 

If you wonder what else is cool, then watch Brad Pitt and Julia Roberts in the Mexican. For more information click here http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0236493/. I think you will enjoy the plot and direction.
Sexy is cool. And, Halle Berry is the sexiest and coolest actress ever. Here is an article of the 20 hottest photos of my girl Halle Berry http://www.heavy.com/action/girls/2012/07/the-20-hottest-photos-of-halle-berry/. You’re welcome. If you want to repay me, please follow me on Pinterest @thegurujay and Twitter @TheGuruJay. Thanks a lot.
I could go on and on about the Refrigeration Niche. But I don’t want to bore you all, because the Refrigeration Niche is awesome and not boring.
I leave you with some thoughts on Lucy Liu. She is one of the prettiest and most talented actresses out there. I want to see her in more movies like Kill Bill Volume 1 and 2. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kill_Bill_Volume_1http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kill_Bill_Volume_2
Please, put her in more movies, movie executives.

Cool is simple. The Refrigeration Niche is cool and simple.  Actors like Tom Cruise, and Brad Pitt and actresses like Angelina Jolie, Lucy Liu, Halle Berry, and Jennifer Lopez and the athlete David Beckham, are simply cool. It’s not complex. It’s easy.
