What are the best Al Pacino movies? Are your favorites on the Top 10 list? Let’s look.

Top 10 Al Pacino Movies

10. Scarface

Pacino plays a Cuban refugee turned American gangster in Scarface. It is one of his best showings because the Italian gets his creative juices flowing. Can you imagine playing another nationality and ethnicity?

“Say hello, to my little friend!”

9. Any Given Sunday

In Any Given Sunday, Al Pacino stars as a head coach who delivers an eye opening and ear popping speech to his football team. In addition, Cameron Diaz and Jamie Foxx help Al out with supporting roles. It makes the top 10 because Pacino goes beyond his pay grade.

8. City Hall

Whether you love or hate politicians, you’ll like City Hall politics. This is a diamond in the rough. You haven’t seen Al Pacino quite like this. He shines bright like perfectly polished dress shoes.

7. The Godfather: Part III

Unsurprisingly, The Godfather: Part III was well received by fans and critics alike. Furthermore, the 1990 film cemented Al Pacino’s legacy on the Boulevard. In case you’re wondering, the great actor doesn’t have a handprint on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, nor does he need one.

6 . The Recruit

Colin Farrell became a better actor while filming The Recruit with Al Pacino. Do you want to go on a roller coaster or a merry-go-round? If you want a thriller, I recommend watching this.

5. Heat

In 1995, Al Pacino and Robert De Niro were at the peak of their superpowers. Credit Director Michael Mann for masterminding scenes with the two superstars. Can you handle Heat?

If you can’t handle the heat, get out of the kitchen and cut off the Chew and Rachael Ray.

4. Carlito’s Way

In a way, Carlito’s Way is the sequel to Scarface. The movie contains familiar themes. However, the setting changes to New York. As always, Al Pacino doesn’t disappoint.

3. The Godfather

The Godfather is perhaps the greatest film in cinematic history. In the movie, Don Corleone played by Marlon Brando, shows Pacino the ropes and teaches him the family business. Some say Al Pacino was “too good.”

2. Scent of a Woman

Al Pacino beat out Malcolm X starring Denzel Washington for Best Lead Actor in Scent of a Woman. The film is about an old depressed blind man standing up for a young gentleman. Watch this clip. Here is one of the greatest and most moving cinematic speeches ever recorded.

1. The Godfather: Part II

Mario Puzo and Francis Ford Coppola combined their talents and awarded efforts with Al Pacino to create possibly the greatest book/film trilogy of all time. The Godfather: Part II exceeded every expectation. Though the bar was set at an impossible level, Pacino obtained purity, clarity, and closure as Michael Corleone.

Thank you for reading, commenting, and sharing.

Who Are the Top 10 Richest Athletes? With Video

Who are the richest athletes? This blog post acknowledges the highest paid in sports. Don’t forget to check out the accompanying video.

At number 10, Atlanta Falcons Quarterback Matt Ryan represents the only professional football player on the list. Tennis phenomenon Rafael Nadal follows Ryan. Then, pro golfer Phil Mickelson comes in 8^th.

I am shocked that no baseball players make the top 10 because Major League Baseball clubs notoriously sign lucrative long-term contracts. Then again, endorsements play a considerable role in total earnings. Number 6 Tiger Woods still endorses products but at a discount. Once Tiger starts winning Majors, his salary might triple with a premium.

Chronically injured and Basketball Hall of Famer Kobe Bryant grabs the fifth spot. Let’s hope the shooting guard recovers to full strength because when healthy Kobe is the most entertaining sportsman on Earth. Laker fans love snakes including the Black Mamba.

Great soccer forward Lionel Messi ranks 4^th. Have you seen his fast and quick footwork? Who can stop the speedy Lionel from dribbling?

LeBron James, Cristiano Ronaldo, and Floyd Mayweather take the top 3 spots. This is befitting because they are the best athletes in their sports.

LeBron is the greatest all around all-star since Magic Johnson. How about Ronaldo, who is the most famous soccer star playing today? Finally, undefeated boxing champion Floyd Mayweather built a name and bank account that the sport of boxing will remember forever. On May 2 2015, the best defensive prizefighter matches against the most lethal offensive attack, the magnificent Manny Pacquiao. Bet Mayweather will be number 1 again next year.

Lucky number 7 Roger Federer has something in common with Mayweather besides money making. In 1998, the tennis prodigy turned professional while still a teenager. Furthermore, Federer continually competes at the highest level like Mayweather, defying the laws of physics relating to distance/ time.

Why Carrie Underwood Is a 10

Post author By iamgurujay
Post date December 23, 2014

BY: GURU JAY

Carrie Underwood won American Idol in 2005. Now, the Country music singer is arguably the best female vocalist in the world. She excels as songwriter and occasional actress as well.

Over the years, Carrie has created a sweet girl image. You never see her flaunting or engaging in debauchery. Can you remember the last time you heard a peep out of her? Carrie’s the girl I’d take home to meet mom.

The former American Idol is an American sweetheart. She’s also an All-American. If you need cheering up, listen to Carrie. She is like a Cowboys’ cheerleader.

Let’s do some math. Carrie collects fans like bottle caps. She has over 4 million Twitter followers. What is more, Underwood has more than 11 million Facebook likes. Finally, The Jesus Take the Wheelsuperstar has over 310 million YouTube views.

Carrie deserves more credit for her acting. She reminds me of a younger Reese Witherspoon. You should watch Sound of Music Live. It is a wonderful story. And, she dazzles in it.

Truth be told, Carrie is one of my top 10 favorite Country music stars. Her performances cannot be duplicated. She’s an original.

Also, she does great duets. Carrie brings listeners to ecstasy. When she sings, it’s like reading the Great Gatsby for the first time.

Carrie Underwood put Country music on the map! Today, the genre is more popular because of musicians such as Carrie. Will Dolly Parton pass the torch to Underwood?

Top 10 Comedy Movies

Top 10 Comedy Movies

What’s so funny? I can hear you laughing through your webcam. Are you on YouTube watching that funny Van Wilder scene?

Van Wilder is great. Of course, it is a loose remake of the classic Animal House. Animal House is the # 1 college comedy of all time. But, that’s another story.

By the way, I’m just joking. I’m not spying on you. I leave that to the governments of the world. Their job is to keep you in line. My job is to entertain you.

Hopefully, my story will make you laugh to the point you start crying. Don’t you love tears of joy? So, ease up, relax your shoulders and have fun.

Movie Analyst

I am the first ever Movie Analyst. Don’t ever call me a movie critic. Why?

No offense to movie critics, but who pays attention to you? Rotten Tomatoes doesn’t affect the box office results. If a movie has a big enough budget it won’t fail. And, that’s why I’m not a movie critic.

I’m a Movie Analyst. Movie critics do not have clout. On the other hand, as a movie analyst I have a small amount of sway. I analyze films for my audience.

I love movies. You see filmmaking is an art, a science and a business. If you love movies too, there is a job for you. It takes an army to make a movie.

I appreciate fine arts. And, I present the finest material. I am your source for entertainment, celebrities and pop culture.

The following list consists of my favorite comedy movies. I analyzed all these films to their inner core. These are the funniest films of our generation. Enjoy.

#10 Bruce Almighty

It’s no secret Morgan Freeman thinks he’s God. Seriously, Morgan’s huge ego stems from Bruce Almighty. Anyway, Freeman is believable as God.

Bruce Almighty is one of my favorite Jim Carrey movies. We forget Jim was God too. I like this movie because of the clever concept. It is somewhat original.

The film is superbly written. The acting is fantastic. What more do you want?

#9 Bad Boys

Bad Boys starring Martin Lawrence and Will Smith is a hidden gem. Lawrence and Smith play two budding police partners. In the movie, Martin is jealous of Will’s money, success and luck with women.

Smith is called a bad boy because he magnetizes ladies. On the flip side, Martin is unlucky and unhappy and he is bad for a different reason. Martin and Will are a great combination.

#8 American Pie

American Pie was an instant classic. Iggy Azalea would have named it the new classic. But you see the film had a unique flavor of sour green Apple Pie.

You have never tasted a movie quite like American Pie. It is the second greatest comedic ensemble of our generation. Here’s a clip for your viewing pleasure.

#7 40 Year-Old Virgin

40 Year-Old Virgin is the movie that made Steve Carrel famous. The film is in its own class. It is very original. Can you name another movie just like it?

I applaud creativity in the entertainment industry. It is real difficult to do something that has never been done. But 40 Year-Old Virgin is an exception.

#6 Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me

Austin Powers is an absolute must-see. The movie is a parody of the James Bondsfilm series. Mike Meyers plays an eccentric character with a sweet spot.

Austin Powers is definitely the goofiest movie on my list. Sometimes though goofy is funny. Mike Myers is the man about town. This is his magnum opus.

#5 Men in Black

Tommy Lee Jones and Will Smith play super secret agents. They are so secret no one knows they exist. In other words, they make sure you don’t know the truth.

With a push of a button, the Men in Black can erase your memories. They are so called “galaxy defenders.” Anyway, Men in Black is the perfect summer comedy.

#4 Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle

I don’t care if you are a vegan or vegetarian. After watching Harold and Kumar, you will crave White Castle like Prince William. John Cho and Kal Penn deserve royalties from the fast food chain.

Harold and Kumar touches on sensitive material such as racism, sexism and drug use. The script is solid. And what’s more, the jokes are funny and timely.

#3 Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby

Did you say Saturday Night Live? Forget that. You mean Talladega Nights.

Will Ferrell is one of the funniest men on planet Earth because of The Ballad of Ricky Bobby. You don’t have to be remotely interested in NASCAR in order to appreciate the film. Talladega Nights takes funny business to a higher level.

#2 Rush Hour

“Do you understand the words that are coming out of my mouth?” Watch a clip from Rush Hour. Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker are the funniest cop partners in cinematic history. They come from different worlds.

I liked Rush Hour 2 and 3 almost just as much. But, the first one is always the best. You’re introduced to new characters and you have no idea what to expect.

#1 The Hangover

The Hangover set and broke records. It is the funniest movie of our generation. In my mind, nothing comes close. From start to finish, the script is flawless.

One word: Galifianakis. Heck, even the actor’s name is humorous. Pop a beer can and some popcorn while you watch the film. You’re in for a treat with The Hangover. You will be entertained beyond belief.

If I could see only one comedy movie for the rest of my life, The Hangover would be that one. If you haven’t seen it, you don’t know what you’re missing. Everybody makes a valuable contribution- even Doug!

What are your favorite comedy movies? Do you have a favorite comedian?

Top 10 Highest Paid Actors

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 10^th 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.

Who’s On Top? 10 Favorite Science Fiction and Fantasy Actresses

Post author By iamgurujay
Post date June 4, 2014

BY: GURU JAY

Who’s On Top?

Lights… Camera …Action. Welcome to Hollywood. Here’s a place where the stars shine 24 hours a day and 7 days a week.

The glitz and glamor comes with the territory. Actors walk around like they own the place. But, we all know the actresses run the show.

Who is Brad Pitt without Angelina Jolie? Captain America is a chump without Scarlett Johansson standing beside him. I learned early in life that “behind every great man is a great woman.”

The role of the actress is to bring the character to life. She has to dive into the part like a synchronized swimmer. I admire actresses for their crafts.

If you want to make it in Hollywood, you can’t fear rejection. Rejection is part of the game. Who knows? You might go on 100 auditions and still not get a job.

Don’t give up or get discouraged. Remember the goals you have set. No one said being an actress was easy.

My favorite actresses belong to the science fiction and fantasy genre. Although I love all kinds of movies, fantasy resonates with my idea of an unstoppable movie. In a sense, science fiction is unregulated, unlimited, and unbelievable.

First of all, science fiction and fantasy movies are really hard to produce. Most movies in this genre have enormous budgets. As a result, sometimes you hit; and, sometimes you miss.

I systematically analyze movies. Like a frog, I dissect film and get at the heart of the story. A great movie critiques society.

When I watch movies, I feel like James Brown, ‘good.’ Brown said “this is a man’s world, but it would be nothing without a woman or a little girl.” Hollywood is an actor’s paradise but it would be nothing without an actress.

Almost all Hollywood actresses are underpaid. Click here to find out who are the highest paid actresses. I admire actresses for their tenacity.

In particular, science fiction and fantasy actresses are the best entertainers in the business. The job of the actress is to take on a new identity. Who steals identities better than a fantasy actress?

Top 10

10. Angelina Jolie

Photo By: Wikimedia Commons

The filmography of Angelina Jolie is impressive. She has a great body of work. Angelina is one of the best actresses on the planet.

Few can compare to her acting talent. Jolie is known for her versatility. She can do just about any role you put in front of her.

It makes sense that show business is in her blood. Her father is of course actor Jon Voight. It is safe to say he taught her well.

I recommend seeing Angelina Jolie in Lara Croft: Tomb Raider. She brings the sexy character to life. But the real reason she is my favorite is because of her performance in Beowulf. Also, she is the lead character in Maleficent.

9. Halle Berry

Photo By: Tostie14

Halle Berry is the hottest actress over 45. Click here for the Hottest Hollywood Starlets Under 30. Halle is an excellent actress. And, she is also versatile like Angelina.

You can’t ignore her performances in Gothika or the X-Men series. You can read a review of X-Men: Days of Future Past here. I like Halle Berry because she knows how to do sci-fi fantasy the right way.

I’m the first to say Cloud Atlas could have been better. But, Halle was great in the film. Because of her resume, she is my 9^th favorite science fiction and fantasy actress.

8. Tricia Helfer

Photo By: piguino k

Tricia Helfer takes the elite 8^th spot. She was brilliant in Battlestar Galactica. I like her style a lot.

Watch some of her movies. You can easily tell she is well trained. It is always a treat to see Tricia working on the silver screen.

7. Summer Glau

Photo By: Mr. “O”

Summer Glau’s work in the Terminator series speaks for itself. Her fans also love her in Firefly and Serenity. She is the cream of the crop in my book.

Summer comes in at number 7. There’s something magnetic about her. I just have to see everything she’s in, because she is so good.

6. Jennifer Lawrence

Photo By: Wikimedia Commons

Jennifer Lawrence makes my list because she is on another level in the X-Men series. She is a young actress who doesn’t act her age. Without a doubt she is the best actress of her generation.

5. Gina Torres

Photo By: Wikimedia Commons

Gina Torres earned the 5^th spot on my list. Two words describe her placing: Matrix and Firefly. You don’t have a choice but to admire her terrific acting. She is a natural. On her birthday, a star was born.

4. Evangeline Lilly

Photo By: Dysepsion

Evangeline Lilly is number 4. She performs to the highest degree in Lost and The Hobbit. She is my fourth because I believe she is underrated. I usually favor the underdog.

3. Scarlett Johansson

Photo By: Wikimedia Commons

It’s not a consequence I find myself writing about Scarlett Johansson all the time. She is truly one of the best Hollywood has to offer. I follow her career and I see greatness in her path. She is a rare breed.

2. Anna Paquin

Photo By: Gage Skidmore

Anna Paquin is wonderful in X-Men as Marie/Rogue. They don’t give Academy Awards to just anyone, you know? Also, Anna Paquin is ranked 2^ndfor her excellence in True Blood.

1. Zoe Saldana

Photo By: Georges Biard

Zoe Saldana is number 1. You can’t ignore the numbers. One word, “Avatar” does not do her justice. Yes, she is Neytiri but she also is Uhura in Star Trek. She was Anamaria in Pirates of the Caribbean. What Rihanna is to music, Zoe Saldana is to movies.

Zoe is my favorite because she took on some of the greatest roles in cinematic history. The petite actress is already legendary early on in her career. Yes, the list is exhaustive. But, there’s no denying the great work she’s done.

Now you know who’s on top. These actresses don’t get enough credit. This is my tribute to the top 10 science fiction and fantasy actresses.
