2. Ryan Adams -- Albums
   Ryan Adams is one of music’s greatest current minds. But give him some free time (isn’t he supposed to be working on two albums?) and he creates some of the weirdest youtube videos around. And tons of them… Read full post »
3. Sterling Hayden -- Seas
   A handsome, virile star of the late 1940s and 50s, Sterling Hayden spent several years at sea before signing with Paramount in 1940, appearing in two films with future wife Madeleine Carroll. Variously touted by the studio publicity machine as "The Most Beautiful Man in Movies" or "The Beautiful Blond Viking God", the actor broke his contract in 1941 to join the Marines. During WWII, he assisted the Yugoslavian partisans fight against the Germans and briefly joined the Communist Party in 1946 (resigning after six months) before resuming his acting career the following year....
4. Colin Farrell -- Recruit
   In this electrifying suspenser, Colin Farrell is a computer wizard who is enlisted into the CIA by Al Pacino, an agency veteran who knew Farrell's late father. After intense training sessions at a secret Virginia facility called "the Farm," where he meets beautiful fellow operative-in-the-making Bridget Moynahan, Farrell is charged with finding a mole among the other recruits. Roger Donaldson ("No Way Out") directs. 115 min. Widescreen (Enhanced); Soundtracks: English Dolby Digital 5.1, DTS 5.1, French Dolby Digital 5.1; Subtitles: Spanish; audio commentary by Donaldson, Farrell; featurette; deleted scenes.
5. Oliver James
   Oliver James is a psychologist who has written books and newspaper articles as well as presented television programmes on subjects ranging from childcare to the effect affluence has on society. From his background as a clinical psychologist in a London mental health hospital, he has since published a best selling book called Affluenza.
6. Tobey Maguire -- Ice Storm
   Although boyishly-handsome dark-haired player Tobey Maguire got his big break with the Fox sitcom "Great Scott!" (1994), the critically acclaimed series' short run failed to attract a sizable audience, and Maguire would wait until his 1997 starring turn in Ang Lee's "The Ice Storm" for his career to really take off. A product of a turbulent background, Maguire moved house frequently as a child, living with various familial permutations of his parents, grandparents and aunts. This unsettled childhood may have contributed to the young actor's drive and unique presence, evincing at once mature clarity and childlike vulnerability in his performances.
7. Gregory Peck -- La Jolla
   Like Gregory Peck, twice Oscar-winning documentary maker Barbara Kopple is a leader in her field. Her 1977 movie Harlan County USA won the award that year for Best Feature Documentary, and she scored again four years later with American Dream, a film about the growing disillusionment amongst the country's struggling workforce. But she probably remains better known for the revealing film she made about one of cinema's most private and enigmatic figures.
8. Denzel Washington
   Award-winning actor Denzel Washington, Antwone Fisher is an autobiographical drama written by the real-life Antwone Fisher. Played by newcomer Derek Luke, Antwone is a volatile young sailor in the Navy, getting into trouble for his constant fighting. When he gets appointed to see naval psychiatrist Dr. Jerome Davenport (Denzel Washington), he begins to reveal the emotional problems behind his rage. Through an introduction to anger management, Antwone is able to confront some secrets of his past and eventually search out his family for a confrontation. Also starring model-turned-actress Joy Bryant as Antwone's girlfriend, Cheryl, and Salli Richardson as Davenport's wife. Antwone Fisher's memoir, Finding Fish, was released to book stores right before the film's theatrical release.
9. Koyuki
   Yukio, known by his friends as "Koyuki", is a regular 14-year-old Japanese boy who enters junior high school with two childhood acquaintances. One is now a useless pervert, and ironically the other is a highly sought after female student. Koyuki's boring life is changed when he saves an odd-looking dog, named Beck, from some kids. Beck's owner turns out to be an emerging rock musician, Ryuusuke Minami, who soon influences Koyuki to start playing the guitar, and even gives one to him. The story basically follows the trials and tribulations of Koyuki and his band.
10. Adrien Brody
    Adrien Brody's first paying job was as a magician, when he was 12. At 15, he had a role in Mary Tyler Moore's quickly-canceled 1988 sit-com, Annie McGuire, and played the lead in a PBS TV movie, Home at Last, as an orphan boy in the old west. Brody ... had small roles in New York Stories, Angels in the Outfield, and King of the Hill (the 1993 Steven Soderbergh drama, not the cartoon). He played the killer in Oxygen, a punk rocker in Spike Lee's Summer of Sam, and an idiot in M. Night Shyamalan's The Village. He won the Best Actor Oscar for Roman Polanski's The Pianist (2002). At 29, Brody was the youngest man ever to receive that award.
