Jared Leto

Yes, I know I’m a few days early.  But all 30STM fans and Jared Leto fans will forgive me for wishing him Happy Birthday (December 26th) on Christmas Eve.  He’ll be 36 and we all wish him many more years of success.

Ryan Reynolds

Since I’m extremely busy with all the Christmas guests this year, I thought I would look up some movies that are coming up and give you a little synopsis to tide you over.  These come from Firstshowing.net.  First up: 

Adventureland

Release Date: 2008
Director: Greg Mottola (Superbad)
Starring: Jesse Eisenberg, Ryan Reynolds, Kristen Stewart, Martin Starr
Synopsis: A comedy set in the summer of 1987 and centered around a recent college grad (Eisenberg) who takes a nowhere job at his local amusement park, only to find it’s the perfect course to get him prepared for the real world.
The Hype: The director of Superbad, the late-summer sleeper hit comedy of 2007, is back again with a film he wrote that has a plot that sounds like it could rival Knocked Up or Superbad.

Sophie Okonedo

I couldn’t take my eyes off of her when I first saw her in “Ace Ventura:  When Nature Calls”.  She was wonderful in the sci-fi film “Aeon Flux” and of course, “Hotel Rwanda”.  Now, I discover she is currently working on “The Secret Life of Bees” with Dakota Phanning, Jennifer Hudson, and Queen Latifah.  Can’t wait to see this one.
