STARWATCH
I run through new young movie stars.
Keannu, Matt—even Johnny—have sort of lost my interest.
It is not a conscious process. There is not one day that I swear off any of them.
They just pass; as the seasons.
I am always on the lookout for new blood to replace the old. I am not searching. It is just that one day someone catches my interest and sticks.
The current interest is Shia LaBeouf.
I saw him in A Guide to Recognizing Your Saints.He played the young Dito. The old Dito was Robert Downey Jr.
He is in a new release this weekend. Disturbia. Good reviews in the NYT.
He will be in the new Indiana Jones as the grandson of Indiana and, I think, the new star of the franchise.
Not too good a career turn. I don't like them to disappear into franchises. Goodbye Toby.
His bio is interesting. Read the link above.
I got an answer to why I like him when I read this. He is considered by some to be a young John Cusack; an actor of whom I never grow tired.
