HOT: Joseph Gordon-Levitt. Because he is about to appear in The Dark Knight Rises after some great performances in 500 Days of Summer and Inception.
NOT: Taylor Kitsch. Because he
starred in two movies this summer (John Carter and Battleship) with budgets of $200M that will represent
huge busts for Disney and Universal.
HOT: Robert Downey Jr. Because he is the lead player in the ensemble cast headlining the record shattering The Avengers (as evidence by his $50M payday) and because I expect him to be just as great in Iron Man 3.
NOT: Reese Witherspoon. Because
she has traded in the innocence and charm that made her famous in Legally
Blonde, Just Like Heaven, and Four Christmases for more traditional starlet
roles in Water for Elephants and This Means War. Why go away from what is working?
HOT: Jeremy Renner. Because he was great in The Hurt Locker, Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol and in The Avengers. I look forward to seeing him in the Bourne Legacy.
NOT: Nicolas Cage. Because of
Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance, Drive Angry, Season of the Witch, and the
list goes on and on.
HOT: Zac Efron. Because he has successfully made the transition from child/adolescent roles to adult roles as evidenced by his recent performance in The Lucky One.
NOT:Alec Baldwin. Because 30
Rock and his annoying Capital One commercials – while once great – have clearly
gotten old.
HOT: Charlize Theron. Because she is coming off in an interesting turn in Young Adult, and is appearing next in Snow White and the Huntsman, and the much anticipated Prometheus. And also because she is Charlize Theron.
NOT: Jason Segel. Because he is
coming off three lukewarm performances in The Muppets, Jeff, Who Lives atHome, and The Five-Year Engagement and because this past season of How I Met
Your Mother was the worst yet.
One more reason Reese is not hot = way too much plastic surgery! When I saw her in This Means War, I spent way too much of the movie trying to figure out exactly what was different about her face (answer = no more chin)
