Shia Labeouf, one of my favourite

Well, I'm sure all of us have someone that we look up to as we watch Hollywood movies or Hong Kong TVB...maybe some Bollywood as well? Anyway, regardless of the type of movies that you watch, I'm sure there is one actor or actress that somehow caught your attention. 

There is one actor that I consider as one of my favourites, Shia LaBeouf. Honestly, it is a name that is difficult to pronounce and remember but it's a face that we all got used to...most people know him through the movie, Transformers.

But well, he was already a star at a young age in fact, starring in Disney movies. (those of you who are not Disney fans will not recognize him).

Check out his younger days...





Well, that was then...check out his looks now...





In his Disney career, he was already an awesome actor, one that bring us laughter most of the time...comedy, that's right! At the age of 10, LaBeouf was already a stand up comedian. Apparently, it was his way to escape a hostile environment. In the early 2000, he was known among young audiences as Louis Stevens in the Disney Channel weekly program, Even Stevens. In 2003, he appeared in Holes and 2 years later, he co-starred with Keanu Reeves in the movie "Constantine". 

His breakthrough came when he starred in the movie "Disturbia". It was that movie that helped him get rid of the "funny guy" tagline. The Buffalo News says that he is able to simultaneously pull off the character's anger, remorse and intelligence. I fully agreed on that review...the movie was just amazing with LaBeouf. After that, we have "Transformers".

There were some flops as well...like the one where he played Mutt Williams, Indiana Jones' greaser son in Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. There is also Eagle Eye. While some people had a lot to critic, I find LaBeouf exceptionally awesome in his expression throughout the movie. 

Then, there is the "Wall Street: Money Never Sleep"

He is in the movie Lawless and will co-star with Brad Pitt in the World War II-set film, Fury. There are apparently some conflict between the two but one thing that I must give you is that LaBeouf is very serious in his acting and he is good, whether he play the funny guy, serious person who is on business or when he is just some young adult with a lot of issues. That's what he brings to the screen. Simply, an amazing actor!

Lindsay Lohan's younger days photos

Lately, I have been following some of the celebrity news and Lohan is one of them....given the rehab swap that is on the news.  But really, what turns an innocent young child into such a troubled life (so to say). I am not sure what happen along the way but looking back at the old photos, you just somehow have the belief and hope of her coming out strong again. We are definitely not going to have the young, innocent Lindsay Lohan again but at least we're hoping for her recovery in the rehab center.

[Review] Taken 3

Ex-government operative Bryan Mills starting to show his age in this third installment of the Taken series - I can swear that I heard his panting almost every breath taking scene, which makes the acting by Liam Neeson real. In this series, Bryan Mills is hoping to reconcile with his ex-wife, Lenore St. John who is said to be not happy with her current husband. The reconciliation however cut short when she was brutally murdered. Bryan Mills was frame for the murder of Lenore and consumed with rage, he go on hiding to evade the CIA, FBI and the police and he intended to track down the murderer on his own with his skills. It doesn't take long before he realized that the murderer is from the group of Russians, which then leads him to his ex-wife husband - and he interrogates him until he told how he was forced to cooperate with the Russians which might target Bryan's daughter, Kim. So, in order to protect his daughter while he revenge, he gets help from his friends to bri...

Superman’ Review: A Charming but Chaotic Attempt to Restart the DCU with Heart — and a Lot of Noise

  James Gunn’s   Superman   had one job — to kickstart a brand-new DC Universe with clarity, confidence, and purpose. What we got instead is a quirky, overstuffed spectacle that bounces between heartfelt sincerity and Saturday morning cartoon mayhem, never quite settling into a rhythm strong enough to lift this hero off the ground. On paper, it all sounds promising:   Superman   skips the tired origin story and dives straight into Clark Kent’s third year as Earth’s protector. David Corenswet brings a sincere, wide-eyed charm to the role — equal parts Boy Scout and alien outcast — while Rachel Brosnahan’s Lois Lane is, without a doubt, the best we’ve ever seen on screen. Their chemistry crackles, especially in the film’s most grounded scene: a sharp interview that pits Lois’ hard-nosed journalism against Superman’s unwavering optimism. In that moment, you can almost feel the movie it   could   have been — thoughtful, conflicted, real. Unfortunately, tho...
