MY TOP 5 BREAKOUT STARS OF 2010

That title may be a bit misleading so let me explain this one a little bit. The idea behind this list was to feature 5 stars who I had never heard of in 2009 that managed to make a name for themselves in 2010 and look to show no signs of letting up in the years to come. So, here they are (in order):

5. ROONEY MARA.

Not sure what I think of good ol’ Rooney yet but her career choices are to be commended. From taking the lead role in the biggest Horror remake to date to catching the eye of David Fincher, Rooney seems to be on the fast track to stardom.

KNOWN FOR: A Nightmare on Elm Street, The Social Network
SOON TO BE SEEN IN: The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo

MY TOP 5 NEW EXPENDABLES

Anyone who listens to LAMBcast knows that I said I’d rather have gotten a colonoscopy than watch the Expendables. Still, I think the franchise has a lot of potential to be a Kick-Assfest. Inevitably, the next film will be bigger… which means more former action stars. So, I thought I’d throw out my Top 5. This list features only stars who were NOT in the original film. We’d all like to see more of Arnie and Bruce (the latter of which we might actually get), but they are excluded from this list.

Also, I realize this post is a little late but I just saw the film so suck it. Here we go (in order):

HONORABLE MENTIONS: Mr. T, Hulk Hogan, Jackie Chan, Chuck Norris, Carl Weathers.

5. VIN DIESEL.

I’ll be honest… I had Hulk Hogan at #5 but started to think about it and Diesel makes more sense. Vinny, if you’ll remember, was a HUGE action star in the early 2000’s. He’s kind of the first of this new generation (even before Statham who is arguably the biggest of  the new class). However, Diesel has taken a bit of a fall in recent years. Making his career much like those of Sly and Arnie. In a way, it’d be fitting for him to do this film and he could get a lot of respect for being able to laugh at himself at the same time.

CHANCE OF IT HAPPENING: 70%… This one comes down to whether or not Stallone calls him up to the Big Leagues. I think he’d be down to pound.

TOP 5 JO-GO MOVIES

Before we get started, I suppose I should tell  those of you not “in the know” that Jo-Go is the celebrity nickname I’m attempting to get to catch on for the wonderful young actor Joseph Gordon Levitt. Just so you know, “Operation Jo-Go” as we like to call it has officially become a movement. Join us on our Facebook page to support the cause by clicking here!!!

Back to the task at hand… I’ve been lacking on my lists lately so it’s time to get back on task. I’ve been meaning to do some lists featuring individual actors for some time. I figured who better to start with then the man himself: JO-GO! Here are my TOP 5 JO-GO MOVIES (in order):
