Robert Downey Jr. is one of my absolute favorite actors. He has an uncanny ability to play lovable assholes. I don't know what I love more, RDJ as Tony Stark/ Iron Man or Sherlock Holmes. In my opinion, he was born to play both these roles. He was incredibly over the top in Hugo Pool (a movie written and directed by his father), hysterical in Tropic Thunder (though the movie sucked) and creepy in In Dreams. Also loved him in Only You, Heart & Souls, Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, Due Date, Zodiac, Air America, Soapdish and Home for the Holidays. He can do comedy, drama, action, suspense, period pieces, he even sings. I can't wait for Iron Man 3 and The Avengers 2. And I hope they make a third Sherlock Holmes.

I have loved Joseph Gordon-Levitt since 3rd Rock from the Sun. He just gets more talented and adorable as he gets older. He gave a powerful performance in Manic (though I don't think I would watch the movie again), absolutely wonderful performances in Brick, The Lookout and 50/50. He was sadistic in Killshot, adorable in 500 Days of Summer and 10 Things I hate About You. He was positively outstanding in Looper. Also loved him in Inception and Premium Rush. Will be renting Dark Knight Rises soon.

Reese Witherspoon is wonderful in everything. I loved her in Walk the Line, This Means War, Legally Blonde 1& 2, Just Like Heaven, Penelope, Overnight Delivery, How Do You Know, Sweet Home Alabama, Four Christmases, Best Laid Plans, Pleasantville, Little Nicky, Monsters Vs Aliens and Freeway.

My favorite Michelle Pfeiffer performance is Batman Returns, she will always be Catwoman (sorry every other actress to play her). I also loved her in Ladyhawke, Stardust, Witches of Eastwick, Married to the Mob, What Lies Beneath, White Oleander and Wolf.

Eliza Dushku will forever be known as Faith from Buffy the Vampire Slayer. She was excellent on Tru Calling and Dollhouse (both shows were cancelled too early). Some of the movies I enjoy of hers are Bring it On, Soul Survivors and Wrong Turn.

I fell in love with Kevin Spacey when I saw The Usual Suspects. I also loved him in Seven, The Ref, L.A. Confidential, A Time to Kill, Outbreak, A Bug's Life and The Negotiator. He was good in Horrible Bosses, but it was basically the same character he played in Swimming with Sharks.

Simon Pegg is geekily adorable in Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz, Paul, Star Trek, and a couple of Mission: Impossible movies.

John Cusack has an everyman quality. Movies I liked him in are Better Off Dead, One Crazy Summer, Must Love Dogs, The Contract, 2012, Grosse Pointe Blank, War Inc, 1408, Identity, Serendipity, America's Sweethearts, Con Air, The Raven, The Factory and The Numbers Station.

Tom Hanks is the same way, he has that everyman quality. Movies I liked him in are Sleepless in Seattle, You've Got Mail, Big, Toy Story 1-3, Saving Private Ryan, That Thing You Do, A League of Their Own, Joe Vs the Volcano, Turner & Hooch, The 'Burbs, Dragnet, The Money Pit, Splash, Catch Me If You Can and The Green Mile. His son Colin Hanks has the same qualities and like abilities as his dad.

Elijah Wood is very talented. I loved him in Sin City. I also liked him in The Lord of the Rings movies, Chain of Fools, The Faculty, North, The Good Son, The Oxford Murders and even Wilfred.

Zooey Deschanel is absolutely adorable. She is delightful in New Girl and hysterical in Failure To Launch. She was also good in The Happening, Elf, Big Trouble, Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, 500 Days of Summer and Yes Man.

Johnny Depp is the king of weird characters and plays all of them to the hilt. My favorites are Captain Jack Sparrow (Pirates of the Caribbean), Sands (Once Upon a Time in Mexico), Ichabod Crane (Sleepy Hollow), Sam (Benny & Joon) and Rango (Rango). Also loved him in The Tourist, Edward Scissorhands, Nick of Time, Secret Window and Ed Wood. He's hilarious in Fear & Loathing in Las Vegas (though the movie sucked). He had a hilarious cameo in 21 Jump Street. I'm looking forward to him playing Tonto in The Lone Ranger.

Chloe Moretz is quite talented for someone so young. My absolute favorite role of hers so far has to be Hit-Girl in Kick-Ass, second being Abby in Let Me In. I'm looking forward to her in Kick-Ass 2 and Carrie (I'm one of the few who hated the Sissy Spacek version). Other movies I loved her in are Amityville Horror, Wicked Little Things and Not Forgotten.

I loved Dakota Fanning as Jane in the Twilight Saga movies, but they needed more with her. She is an amazing actress and she's only 18. She was good in Hide & Seek (though the movie lacked), I Am Sam, Trapped, War of the Worlds, Push and adorable as young Reese Witherspoon in Sweet Home Alabama.

When I first saw Justin Long in Galaxy Quest, I knew I adored him, he has this cute/geeky thing going on. I also loved him in Dodgeball, Accepted, Drag Me To Hell, He's Just Not That Into You, Jeepers Creepers and Live Free or Die Hard. He has also played some weird characters in Idiocracy, Strange Wilderness, Old Dogs and Zack & Miri Make a Porno. In Serious Moonlight he was actually a bad guy.

More later.
