Captain America

Focuses on the early days of the Marvel Universe when Steve Rogers (Chris Evans) volunteers to participate in an experimental program that turns into the Super Solider known as Captain America.  As Captain America, Rogers joins forces with Bucky (Sebastian Stan) and Peggy Carter (Hayley Atwell) to wage war on the evil HYDRA organization, led by the villainous Red Skull (Hugo Weaving.)  Critics have said, "With plenty of pulpy action, a pleasantly retro vibe, and a handful of fine performances, Captain America is solidly old-fashioned blockbuster entertainment."  This movie on the "tomatometer" has been given a 79%, fresh: 173 and a rotten: 47.  The audience have the movie an astonishing 73%.  In my opinion on this movie was just fantastic, I loved the story line, the characters, and pretty much the whole thing.

Captain America: The First Avenger Movie Poster

Christopher Robert Evans was born on June 13 1981 in Boston, MA.  Nickname: Cevans.  He is an american actor, not to get confused with the British DJ and wild man of the same name - began his acting career in typical fashion: performing in school productions and community theater.  But it was his rapid rise to stardom that was unusual.  He was in first grade when he started to act, because of his older sister, Carly, who was also acting, he started following and began appearing in school plays.  From there, it was a quick jump to theater camp and later an internship for a casting office.  He made his first appearance on The Fugitive (2000), CBS, 2000-2001), a remake of the 1960s series and feature film starring Harrison Ford.  And his lates movie of this year was Thor: The Dark World as Captain America, but he was only in it for a little second, not much of a major character in the movie though, just to add a little comedy to it.

Chris Evans

Let's just hope that he keeps up his hard work on his acting career, but I don't think he'll have a problem with that.  Why do you ask, (that's if you're asking)?  Well it's because he's coming out with two new movies which I'm really excited for, Captain America: The Winter Soldier (2014) and The Avengers: Age of Ultron (2015)!!!!!!!!!  But I can't wait that long, eh oh well, I can try to make it as far as I can.  Stay classy Utah, (well try to stay classy at least). TTFN Tata For Now!!!

Kierra Knightley

Keira Christina Knightley was born on March 26, 1985 in Teddington, Middlesex, England, UK.  Some people I know know her as "Elizabeth Swan" from "Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl", "Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest" and "Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End".  It was these movies that got me hooked to Pirates of the Caribbean and some other movies with those certain actors in the movie series, and interested in certain types of actors as well.

Daughter of Will and and playwright Sharman Macdonald, and has an older brother, Caleb Knightley. After she requested an agent at the age of three, her parents allowed her to work on productions in her summer holidays. Her first multi-scene performance came in A Village Affair (1995, TV).  This was followed by small parts in the British crime series "The Bill" (1984), an exiled German in The Treasure Seekers (1996, TV) and a much more substantial role as the young "Judith Dunbar" in Giles Foster's adaptation of Rosamunde Pilcher's novel Coming Home (1998, TV), alongside Peter O'Toole, Penelope Keith and Joanna Lumley.  The first time Kiera's name was mentioned around the world was when it was revealed that she played Natalie Portman's decoy "Padme" to Portman's "Amidala" in Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace (1999).

That would've been soooooo neat to see her in that star wars film, considering I love the old star wars movies.  When they made Episodes I, II, and III (after the original star wars films: IV, V, and VI), they were good but not as good as the original movies.  Well it's usually the original movie or series that catches everybody's attention than the sequels.

She was also known in a movie called Love Actually (2003) which is a British Christmas-themed romantic comedy film written and directed by Richard Curtis.

Kiera Knightley is one of my favorite actresses and I just hope she has a happy life, since she just got married and all that, and lets hope the marriage goes well.  I've seen pictures of her husband, James Righton, and he doesn't look that appealing, no offense or anything if you're reading this.

Orlando Bloom

Orlando Jonathan Blanchard Bloom was born on January 13, 1977 in Canterbury, Kent, England, UK. Nicknames: Orli and OB.  Most people that I know know him as "Will Turner" from "Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Peral", "Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest" and "Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End".  When I saw the 3rd movie, and it was at the ending, I started balling my eyes out when Will left Elizabeth (Kiera Knightley), and I remember the music that was playing in the background, and it was just amazing, well besides the kissing scene, but overall it was fantastic.

The man he briefly knew as his father, Harry Bloom, was a fabled political activist who fought for civil rights in South Africa.  But he died fo a stroke when Orlando was only four years old.  After that, Orlando and his older sister, Samantha Bloom, were raised by their mother, Sonia, and family friend, Colin Stone.  When Orlando was thirteen, Sonia told him that Colin was actually his biological father.

Orlando attended St. Edmunds School in Canterbury but struggled in many course because of dyslexia.  He did embrace the arts, nonetheless, and enjoyed pottery, photography and sculpturing.  He also participated in school plays and was active at his local theater.  As a teen, he acquired his first job; he was a clay trapper at a pigeon shooting range.  Encouraged by his mother, he and his sister began studying poetry and prose, eventually giving readings at Kent Festival.  Him and his sister won many poetry and Bible reciting competitions.  Then Orlando, who admired larger-than-life characters, drifted towards serious acting.  At the age of sixteen, he moved to London and joined the National Youth Theatre, spending two seasons there and gaining a scholarship to train with the British American Drama Academy.

Like lots of young actors, he also auditioned for lots of television roles to encourage his career, gaining bit parts in British television shows "Casualty" (1986), "Midsomer Murders" (1997), and "Smack the Pony" (1999).  He also appeared in the highly rated movie Wilde (1997).  He then attended the Guildhall School of Music and Drama.  It was there, in 1998, that Orlando fell three stories from a rooftop terrace and broke his back.  Despite fears that he would be permanently paralyzed, he quickly recovered and returned to the stage.  One night in 1999 there was a director named Peter Jackson, and after the show, he met with Orlando and asked him to audition for his new set of movies.  After graduating from Guildhall, he began work on the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy, spending 18 months in New Zealand bringing to life "Legolas", a part which made him a household name.  Today, he is one the busiest and most sought-after actors in the industry, and is married to Miranda Kerr from July 22, 2010 to the present with one child.  Lets hope that he keeps up with his acting and doesn't fall from a tree story terrace and break his back again!

I personally know him as Tony Stark as Iron Man in Iron Man, Iron Man 2, Iron Man 3.  My first time seeing Iron Man was a few years ago and I just remember so much action and funny moments, especially for his character.  Every time when some cool action packed moment comes he always says something hilarious and sometimes you can't stop laughing.

So far I don't think he's working on any movies right now, but he has 3 upcoming movies.  The first one is Chef (2014), the second on is The Judge (2014), and his third that I'm really excited for is The Avengers: Age of Ultron (2015).  Throughout his life making movies he has made a bunch of money.  Richard III (1995) $50,000, Danger Zone (1996) $5000,000, Game 6 (2005) $100/day, Iron Man (2008) $500,000, Sherlock Holmes (2009) $9,000,000, Iron Man 2 (2010) $10,000,000, Due Date (2010) $12,000,000, Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows (2011) $15,000,000, and The Avengers (2012) $50,000,000.

Unfortunately he dropped out of Santa Monica High School to pursue acting full time.  His father introduced him to drugs, offering him a marijuana joint at age 8.  Has been arrested from at least 1996 to 2001.  He has been married twice, he's currently in his second marriage.  His first marriage was to Deborah Falconer from May 29, 1992 - April 26, 2004 and had 1 son.  His second marriage is to Susan Downey August 27, 2005 - Present and had another son, he kept his first son from his first marriage.  He's been to a couple of rehabilitation centers and a lot of other bad things.  I'm not going to name everything he's done with his life, but make sure you read it and see how he was then and now.  Lets hope that he stays that way for the rest of his life.

Geoffrey Rush

Geoffrey Roy Rush was born on July 6, 1951 in Toowoomba, Queensland, Australia, but was raised in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia after his parents split up.  He attended Everton Park State High School during his formative years.  His early interest in the theatre led to his 1971 stage debut at age 20 in "Wrong Side of the Moon" with the Queensland Theatre Company.

Geoffrey Roy Rush

I know him as Captain Barbosa from Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl, just at the ending of Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest, Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End, and Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides.

He suffered a temporary nervous breakdown in 1992 due to overwork and anguish over his lack of career advancement.  Within a few years filmgoers finally began taking notice of Geoffrey after his performance in Children of the Revolution (1996).  This led him to THE role of a lifetime as the highly dysfunctional piano prodigy David Helfgott in Shine (1996).  His astonishing tour-de-force performance won him every unthinkable award imaginable, including the Oscar, Golden Globe, British Film Award and Australian Film Institute Award.

Married to Jane Menelaus from November 20, 1988 - Present, and has 2 children.  Angelica was born in 1992, and James was born in 1995.

He has been in more movies that some of us can't even imagine.  Here's a couple of them: Mystery Men (1999), House on Haunted Hill (1999), Finding Nemo (2003), and The Life and Death of Peter Stellers (2004).

I'm really excited for his upcoming movie The Book Thief!  We're reading it in class right now and we're almost done with it.  It's about the horrors of WWII Germany, a young girl named Liesel finds solace by stealing books and sharing them with others.  Under the stairs in her home (with her adoptive parents), a Jewish refuge is being sheltered by her adoptive parents.  Im not going to give anymore spoilers, YOU HAVE TO READ IT FIRST!!!!!!!

The Book Thief

Anyways, he has made a real fortune from his acting career.  Let's hope his acting career keeps moving forward, while he's still alive at least.

Johnny Depp

Most people that I know know this great actor as "Captain Jack Sparrow" from "Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl", "Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest", "Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End", "Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides", and they're starting to make a new one coming in either 2014, 2015, or 2016.

Johnny Depp was born on June 9, 1963, in Owensboro, Kentucky, USA.  He was married to Lori A. Depp (December 24, 1983 - March 7, 1986, divorced).  Deep, whispering voice.  Frequently plays freakishly eccentric outcasts whose oddities are misunderstood by mannerism.  Examples: Edward Scissorhands (1990), Ed Wood (1994), Don Juan DeMarco (1994), Dead Man (1995), Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas (1998), Sleepy Hollow (1999), Before Night Falls (2000), the Pirates of the Caribbean" films (2003, 2006, 2007) and Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street (2007).

These first 3 movies in my opinion are my absolute favorite.  When I saw the #4 it was okay, but the thing that kind of bugged me the most was that the movie #3 was so long and at the end he cuts out the map to find the "Fountain of Youth", and it just took so long to make just to get to that certain part of the movie.  But overall, the first 3 movies were fascinating.  And I remember reading a news article a couple months ago, or maybe a year, that they're trying to get Orlando Bloom back for movie #5, but he's working on "The Hobbit: Desolation of Smaug" at this moment, so we'll see what happens.
