THOR...studly Chris Hemsworth stars! Jay Leno audience squeals with delight!




 
Tomorrow, when THOR is released across the country, I expect that Chris Hemsworth's star will soar into the stratosphere!





And - If the reaction the actor received Jay Leno 's audience last night is any indication, the studly actor is bound to become the hunk flavor of the month, too!

When Jay dragged out an old clip of the star performing on Australia's version of the entertainment show - Dancing with the Stars - female fans erupted into wild impromptu squeals of delight.

Uh-huh!

When the Aussie shook his tight little butt for the camera - in revealing skin tight slacks (you could have seen a pimple on his ass as plain as day) - it was evident that he was going to give Ricky Martin (appearing in Concert on May 7th) a run for his money!

Personally, I loved his classy distinctive accent when he chatted up Jay on the hot seat.

But, can he act?

When you look that good, who cares!

Needless to say, it is worth noting that Mr. Hemsworth is trained actor, who does not necessarily rely on his looks to propel his career forward in fickle Hollywood.


In fact, his resume boasts that he actually studied the performoing Arts at the  "American Dialect at Screenwise Film & TV School for Actors" in Sydney Australia.

Currently, he is lensing "The Avengers".

Past credits are nothing to sniff at and include Star Trek and the Perfect Getaway.

Thor should be his break into more commercial spot-light-grabbing starring featured roles if he plays his cards right!

In a nutshell, Thor is an action adventure flick about a powerful arrogant warrior, who is cast out of the fantastic realm of Asgard and sent to live amongst humans on Earth (God forbid!) where he soon becomes one of their fiercest defenders.

Hooked already, how 'bout you?

Chances are the the big-budget fantasy venture will be fairly entertaining with a loft of delicious visuals since Director Kenneth Branagh was at the helm of this much-anticipated project.

The project is also boosted up by that fact is was written by Ashley Miller and Zack Stentz.

Of course, if you've been tuning in to the late-night talk0-show circuit, you're keenly aware of the fact the film also stars Academy-Award-Winning actors Anthony Hopkins and Natalie Portman (fresh off of the Oscar-winning project Black Swan).

Undoubtedly, once the flick splashes across the wide-screen at Theatres tomorrow, ticket-holders and film buffs alike will be swept up and enthralled as the action unfolds from the get-go.

See 'ya there!

Russell Crowe...The Next Three days a hit! Intense action thriller!







It was a toss up between  attending a Los Angeles Westside screening of "The Kids are Alright" at the Landmark Theatre (where Annette Bening was slated to appear at a much-anticipated Q &A Session afterward) or take in a sneak preview of Russell Crowe's newest feature flick "The Next Three Days".

The action-thriller starring Crowe was not only the most popular choice - but, obviously - the hottest ticket in town last night.

In fact, a raucous crowd of ecstatic fans braved a nasty night chill, to stand in line in hopes of securing a coveted seat (with no guarantee they'd be ushered inside or have the opportunity to drink up the mesmorizing - sometimes gritty - images about to splash across the wide screen).

Meanwhile, inside - the event (sponsored by KROQ rock and hosted by AMC Theatres) was packed to the rafters an hour before the feature was slated to commence.

And, the security was tight!

For starters, a posse of security guards - out-fitted in ubiquitous impeccably-tailored black suits - frisked the startled guests for cell phones - to ensure that no unauthorized clips would slip out onto the Internet before the auspicious premiere date.

In sum - "The Next Three Days" - is a taut action-thriller which starts off innocently enough.

Shortly after the audience is introduced to the main characters, the plot jolts to life, in a realistic believable fashion (much to its credit).

Suddenly, Crowe - who portrays a community college teacher - is plunged into a real-life drama when his wife is unexpectedly charged and convicted with murdering her boss.

After the legal process is exhausted, Crowe's character is forced to take the law into his own hands, with awesome results!

The big-budget studio offering is a film for the intelligent filmgoer, for sure.

But, manages to treat regular down-to-earth folks to a roller-coaster-rides of thrills and chills not soon to be forgotten by any discerning film buff.

Crowe is at the top of his game here in a role that not only challenges - but manages - to uplift and inspire.

Indeed!

When a common man is forced to fight the legal system - and risk all against the odds - the audience (no matter how moralistic or law-abiding) is inclined to root from below the flood-lights and egg him on to victory come-hell-or-high-water!

More popcorn, please!
