Top 3 Hottest Sci-Fi Chicks of 2010

Megan Fox- Jonah Hex
It is tough to say anything nice about Megan Fox (other than commenting on her looks). She is a horrible actress and from the sounds of it she may be a worse person.
However there is no doubt that I will see Jonah Hex specifically to see Megan Fox in tight clothing. That’s the problem with her, no one is showing up to see her act.
Then again this is not a list for best actresses in a Science Fiction movie so she most definitely qualifies.
Now all we need is for her career to go south so that she will drop her no nudity clause.

Gwyneth Paltrow- Iron Man 2
She’s super cute and a solid actress. She plays the level headed assistant to the out of control Tony Stark in Iron Man 2.
Gwyneth Paltrow has carved out a great career based on ability rather than relying on her looks (maybe Megan Fox can learn a thing or two from Paltrow). Never mind, Megan is completely incapable of learning.
I’m looking forward to seeing the upcoming Avenger movies and part of the reason has to do with Gwyneth Paltrow.

Mila Kunis- The Book Of Eli
I admit that I have a huge crush on Mila Kunis, so maybe I’m a little biased. The Book Of Eli turned out to be a different movie than most people thought it would be, but no matter how you felt about the premise, you had to be happy to see Kunis in all her glory.
It turns out that the movie completely rocked (in my opinion) and Mila Kunis continued to show that she belong in Hollywood for her acting ability.

Rounders 2 Nowhere Close To Being Real

Matt Damon
The guys that so beautifully wrote Rounders, the 1998 movie that started the Texas hold ‘em craze, have stated that they want to do a sequel. Brian Koppelman and David Levien say that is something they “plan to do”.
As of yet though there are no concrete plans, but Koppelman told MTV “we made promises to a lot of people that we won’t do it if we can’t find a way for it to not suck”. That’s encouraging because it means that they will take it seriously and not just try to cash in on the original movie.
As far as plot goes, “We have this idea that we really want to pick these characters up down the road. So it is something we plan to do, we just don’t have it on the calendar yet” says Levien.
Ed Norton recently said that he would be down for a sequel if the writers return. Matt Damon may be a harder sell, considering how much his career has exploded recently with his successful Bourne franchise. He doesn’t need to do this film if he doesn’t like the screenplay.
Honestly I do see this movie being made someday. Rounders was too entertaining to pass up on a sequel, but it might have to wait until Damon has a tough stretch in his career and needs an extra paycheck.

Megan Fox Out Of Transformers 3

Michael Bay finally did something right. I know it may seem shocking to hear that a consistently idiotic person would use common sense.
But Mr. Bay fired Megan Fox.
She is the female Sylvester Stalone. The worst actor of her gender. Her body of work is only tollerable because of her, well,body. She has been enabled to be bad. If someone offered you a ton of money to do something you weren’t good at and had no expectations for you, wouldn’t you take it? You would and then you’d have no incentive to become good at it.
The problem is that now someone else will probably give her another job right away. That’s the way film works. Some producer will realize that her looks and recognizability can get butts in theater seats. They don’t always care that the quality of the movie goes down with her inclusion.
For now though we can revel in the fact that Transformers 3 will be better for Megan Fox not being in it.

DVD Profile: Star Wars (A New Hope)
Star Wars (A New Hope)
Star Wars is one of the most beloved movies of all time. In fact, it is still relevant more than thirty years later, something most films fail to accomplish.
Star Wars was the idea of director George Lucas, who has gone on to turn the film into a six film franchise as well as a merchandising empire, including books and figurines.
Star Wars (A New Hope) Cast
George Lucas- Director
Mark Hamill- Luke Skywalker
Harrison Ford- Han Solo
Carrie Fisher- Princess Leia Organa
Alec Guinness- Obi-Wan Kenobi
Star Wars (A New Hope) Rotten Tomatoes Score: 94%
My review for Star Wars (A New Hope): No movie in history has affected th evolution of film as much as Star Wars. The story telling and special effects hit a spot with movie goers back in 1977 and can still put the youth of today into a trance. If you’ve never seen this movie, you need to disown your parents, they didn’t raise you right.
