What, he/she was in that?

I've decided to compile a list of celebrities' earlier days; I recently watched some of these movies, and thought, "wait, is that who I think it is?" They all have to start somewhere! See if you can spot these actors and actresses in a few well-known movies, and some of them were quite young! I will probably add more later.

Linda Cardellini -- Legally Blonde

Eliza Dushku -- True Lies

Giancarlo Esposito -- Trading Places

Kellan Lutz -- Stick It

Jane Lynch -- The Fugitive

Jena Malone -- Contact

Ellen Pompeo -- Catch Me If You Can

Natalie Portman -- Mars Attacks!

Dax Shepherd -- Cheaper By the Dozen

Leelee Sobieski -- Jungle 2 Jungle

Mae Whitman -- Independence Day

Movie Review: The Hunger Games

Jennifer Lawrence, Josh Hutcherson, and Lenny Kravitz Director: Gary Ross Stars: Jennifer Lawrence, Josh Hutcherson, Wes Bentley, Donald Sutherland, Woody Harrelson Genre(s): Action, Science-Fiction/Fantasy Release Date: March 23, 2012 Rotten Tomatoes Score: 87% Adapting a beloved, best-selling novel for the big screen is no easy task. Many have failed, and when this occurs, legions of fans are upset. Sub-plots and minor, fairly insignificant details are destined to be eliminated from the script, but fans expect the book's original themes, plot(s), and characters are intact. Many who have loved Suzanne Collins' wonderful post-apocalyptic trilogy -- The Hunger Games , Catching Fire , and Mockingjay -- were anxious (myself included) to see if director Gary Ross' film adaption could live up to its hefty, meaningful source material. Luckily, we can all breathe a sigh of a relief. Ross has become as successful as the...

Review: Ready Player One

Tye Sheridan and Lena Waite Director: Steven Spielberg Screenwriters: Zak Penn, Ernest Cline (author as well) Starring: Tye Sheridan, Olivia Cooke, Ben Mendelsohn, Lena Waithe, Mark Rylance MPAA Rating: Rated PG-13 for sequences of sci-fi action violence, bloody images, some suggestive material, partial nudity, and language Genres: Action, Adventure, Science-Fiction, Fantasy Theatrical Release Date: March 31, 2018 Rotten Tomatoes Score : 75% Clip: "The Prize Awaits" Ready Player One is, to sum up in two words, a "geek's dream." And that is, honestly, a compliment, as I consider myself at least somewhat of a geek and adore pop culture and pop culture references. (Why else would I have a blog?) And Oscar-winning filmmaker Steven Spielberg -- with whom you may be familiar -- has surely created an adaptation of Ernest Cline's best-selling science-fiction that is rampant with pop culture references. I will admit that I have not read ...

Review: Tomb Raider

Daniel Wu and Alicia Vikander Director: Roar Uthaug Screenwriters: Geneva Robertson-Dworet, Alastair Siddons Starring: Alicia Vikander, Walton Goggins, Dominic West, Daniel Wu, Kristin Scott Thomas MPAA Rating: Rated PG-13 for sequences of violence and action, and some language Genres: Action, Adventure Theatrical Release Date: March 16, 2018 Rotten Tomatoes Score : 50% Clip: "Waterfall" Tomb Raider is much better than it has any reason to be. Not that it needed to be bad, but with the plethora of remakes and reboots as of late, it is easy to have low expectations for the majority of them. Director Roar Uthaug's Tomb Raider is definitely more of a reboot than a remake, as it is a far cry from the poorly-made Angelina Jolie-starring Lara Croft movies (of which there are two). Jolie's Croft was certainly slick, but the focus seemed to be more on her sex appeal than anything else. Tom Raider , however, Is more about Croft’s br...
