Hugh Jackman One night only





Academy Award nominee and Tony and Golden Globe Award winner Hugh Jackman brought his critically acclaimed one-man show from Broadway to Los Angeles' Dolby Theatre for a performance benefitting MPTF (Motion Picture & Television Fund), last night - and raised $1.85 million in doing so, according to Deadline.

Jackman's catalogue of numbers for the three hour show included songs from LES MISERABLES, THE BOY FROM OZ, GUYS AND DOLLS, CAROUSEL and more.

The show marked Jackman's first time performing in Southern California - and his 45th birthday.

Hugh Jackman's involvement with MPTF, a 92-year-old charity that provides essential health care, wellness, social services, child care and retirement services to the entertainment community, began in 2007 when he first performed and co-hosted the organization's "A Fine Romance" - an event celebrating the love affair between Broadway and Hollywood.

"Through Jim Gianopulos I became aware of MPTF's deep roots in Hollywood and their amazing work helping entertainment industry colleagues in need and the simple concept of taking care of our own," Jackman said in a statement in July. "Films, television and theatre have brought me great success throughout my career and it is one of my greatest pleasures to give back by putting on a show as a benefit to support MPTF."

Jackman was most recently seen in Prisoners alongside Jake Gyllenhaal. Other upcoming big screen projects include X-Men: Days of Future Past and The Greatest Showman on Earth. He recently starred in The Wolverine and the Oscar-nominated movie adaptation of Les Miserables.

Jackman has appeared on Broadway in Hugh Jackman, Back on Broadway, A Steady Rain and The Boy From Oz -- for which he won the 2004 Tony Award -- as well as off-Broadway's Carousel. In 2012, Jackman was honored with a Tony Award Special Award for Extraordinary Contribution to the Theatre Community.

His new musical Houdini is headed to Broadway hopefully "within a year or 18 months", according to a report by the Daily Mail. ScreenDaily.com writes that Jackman will make a decision on Houdini "in about a month."

Actors Who Literally Do The Same Thing In Every Movie



28 November 2013 1:50 AM, PST | Obsessed with Film |




There are tons of lists on the internet exploring movie directors and their associated “trademarks,” but there aren’t quite as many dealing with the actors in the frames of said movies, who you might not have realised are also fond of doing the same things all the time, too. Whereas movie directors are probably more conscious in their attempts to insert their trademarks (Steven Spielberg’s fondness for shooting stars, for example), it’s quite possible that some of the world’s most famous actors aren’t actually fully aware of their own reoccurring idiosyncrasies.

Some actor trademarks have become incredibly well know, of course: Tom Cruise’s fondness for running in literally every movie he’s ever made has since become pretty much the highlight of every Tom Cruise movie made since, and there’s barely anybody alive who hasn’t noticed that Brad Pitt likes eating in every Brad Pitt movie. »

Top Fun ! How many props from Tom CRuise's most famous films can you spot in this picture?

He's been a vampire, a spy, a pilot and a cocktail shaker... but for his latest role, Tom Cruise has turned puzzle master.

Surrounded by props from some of his most iconic films, the Hollywood superstar has set a challenge for his fans: to link each item in the picture below to one of his movies.

In the surreal scene, the 51-year-old actor is seen holding up a goldfish in a bag, reminiscent of a scene from one of his best-loved films.
Legendary actor Tom Cruise poses with a series of props from his most famous movies in an exclusive picture for Empire Magazine - but can you guess which props are from which movie?

Cover star: Tom Cruise gives one of his most in-depth interviews in this month's Empire magazine
Meanwhile, a U.S. Navy cap in the background closely resembles the one he sets down before launching into a rendition of You’ve Lost That Lovin’ Feelin’.

And a mask discreetly hanging in the background may have been used to uncover a secret society while a guitar propped up near the actor indicates some time as hedonistic rocker.

Frogs can be seen crawling across the floor, apparently having just fallen out the sky, while a race helmet suggests some time in the fast lane.

A samurai sword and war armour indicate a few battle scenes while a taxi driver in the background may be facing an unpleasant evening.

The picture was created for Empire Magazine to celebrate its naming of Cruise as the 'legend of our lifetime' at its film awards on Sunday night.

Speaking at ceremony at The Grosvenor House hotel, Cruise said: 'I feel really fortunate, because it was my dream to be able to make films and I’ve had an incredible time so far.

'I’ve spent an incredible part of my life in studios and sound booths and on sets all over the world...
'I do know it takes an incredible amount of endurance, hard work and a little bit of luck - maybe a lot of luck.'
Cruise has appeared in nearly 40 films throughout his 33-year career.
Some of his biggest hits included Top Gun, Jerry Maguire, the Mission Impossible series and Interview With The Vampire.

His latest is sci-fi action film Edge of Tomorrow due out later this year.

Talking about his latest project, he said: 'The alien invasion is simmering in the background. It’s kind of Back To The Future. I love movies that ask, if you did have to live your life over again, what would happen?'
The feature in Empire comes after it was confirmed that Cruise will star in the long-awaited sequel to Top Gun.

Jerry Bruckheimer, the producer of the 1986 original, said the follow-up would see Cruise compete against robotic drone pilots.

He said: 'The concept is, basically: are the pilots obsolete because of drones? Cruise is going to show them that they’re not obsolete.'
Identifying the props is part of a competition at empireonline.com but just in case you need some inspiration, a selection of images from some of his most iconic films are shown below.

Tom Cruise thanks "Lady Luck"


Mission: Impossible star Tom Cruise joked Lady Luck has been on his side as he accepted a lifetime achievement award tonight.

The Hollywood actor received the Legend of our Lifetime gong from his Jack Reacher co-star Rosamund Pike at the 2014 Empire Awards in London.

"I feel really fortunate, because it was my dream to be able to make films and I've had an incredible time so far," he said.

"I've spent an incredible part of my life in studios and sound booths and on sets all over the world, (and) so many people I've learned from... I do know it takes an incredible amount of endurance, hard work and a little bit of luck - maybe a lot of luck," he continued.

The 51-year-old added: "Thank you to the audiences for watching. I made the movies for you."

Before the ceremony, Cruise said the most important lessons he had learnt throughout his three-decades long career were "enjoying moments in life with people", adding that he is still in love with movie-making.

"In the film industry, there are film crews I get to work with, people everyday, the artistry and the craftsmanship. Those are the things you get to create yourself. It's very exciting," he said.

Last night , a national TV channel showed Tom's MAGNOLIA which I had seen at the theatre. (1999)

It is truly one of the great films ever made in Hollywood..And Tom is at his best as Mackey.. I was
stunned by his spectacular performance (and looks) , not to mention the superb cast.

I felt very sad.. Not too long ago , Tom Cruise made those incredibly impressive epic films - now he enjoys making S/F or action films to compete with the other idiotic Hollywood action films ; or perhaps he has just given up making demanding , good films and it is the Box office that he cares for..

And the media is expecting his new S/F film to crash it to pieces.
