For the time being, that path does not involve recording or performing music. Timberlake recalled the "undeniable" urge to produce his two solo albums — a feeling that he says is notably absent from his creative process these days. But that doesn't mean Timberlake is closing the door on music. He looks forward to a time when he can combine acting with his singing and producing talents for a movie project and even envisions stealing a page from the David Bowie concept-album playbook on a future album.I think it is a good idea for him to concentrate on movies for a while. He is one of the few people who can be a musician, actor and even have a clothing line. He is successful in all three. He is a very talented person who will be around for a long time. He is now part of the new movie "Yogi Bear" which also stars Dan Aykroyd. It is hard to know if the movie will be good. It was one of my favorite cartoons to watch as a child. When I heard that he would play Boo Boo I did not know if he would be good. It is still hard to tell if the movie will be any good. Hopefully they will do a good job portraying characters that have been loved by people for years. From the trailer it seems that Timberlake will do a good job bringing the character to life.

Justin Timberlake Moviestar
I am the first person to be skeptical of musicians becoming actors. Justin Timberlake is one of the few exceptions. I am not a big Justin Timberlake fan. I do not listen to all of his music or watch all of his movies. I have seen a few, but they are not my favorite. When he first made his debut as an actor I thought it was a bad idea. So many singers have been on the big screen and it was a huge flop. There were some mistakes that he made, but he came back with great performances from "Alpha Dog" and even "Shrek the Third". The new movie "The Social Network" really showed his potential for a movie career. He said that he will be working more in movies than in music. He came to Hollywood to be an actor, but joined N'SYNC instead. He however, is not closing the door to music he wants to combine both passions.

The King's Speech
The King's Speech is a true story about a king who has a horrible stammer when he talks and the man who helped him overcome it. It stars Colin Firth, Geoffrey Rush and Helena Bonham Carter, who plays Firth's character's wife. It sounds interesting. The film is about a man who becomes king, but has a stammer when he talks. He then hires Rush's character to help him with his speech. It is a simple film about friendship and becoming a better man. There seems to be a lot of true stories coming out. It is nice to see them doing one that is not about sports and war. Even though it takes place during WWII it is about friendship and a man overcoming obstacles. It has already won awards and has also created Oscar buzz. It is also said that is also has Rush's best performance so far.
Geoffrey Rush, in a performance that is as remarkable as it is charming -- possibly the best of his long, distinguished career that includes an Oscar for his eccentric piano prodogy in "Shine" -- is this royal's unconventional Aussie last-ditch chance. A friendship is forged, and we see two lives transformed. No special effects, but many special affects.Colin Firth has so far had good luck in picking movies. His last film "A Single Man" was a great film that won awards. Geoffrey Rush is a terrific actor that has won numerous awards for his amazing performances. To have a movie with both of them it in means there is a chance it is a great film. There is a need for a film that does not have to deal with blood and guts. It is good that they came out with a film that simply has to do with friendship.

Nielsen once said he was never the class clown. "In those days, I was too busy trying to be Mr. Perfect. You try to be Mr. Perfect so that your parents can find nothing wrong with you. They have a lot of other things to think about like putting food on the table, so you just don’t want to rock the boat."Nielsen received a lifetime achievement award in 2003 from Alberta Motion Pictures Industries Association. He also was awarded an Award of Excellence from the Alliance of Canadian Cinema, Television and Radio Artists.

Buffy Reboot
Buffy was a very popular movie and T.V. series in the 90's. It was able to make vampires funny and scary at the same time. The W.B. wants to bring the popular show back. The producer is Charles Roven who says that it will not be set in high school. However, there are many fans that are not happy about the reboot. The creator Joss Whedon is one of them.
"Obviously I have strong, mixed emotions about something like this. My first reaction upon hearing who was writing it was, 'Whit Stillman AND Wes Anderson? This is gonna be the most sardonically adorable movie EVER.' Apparently I was misinformed," he said, adding, "But seriously, are vampires even popular any more?"Even though the reboot might sound like a good idea. After paying attention to past experience and see that reboots are very tricky to accomplish. There has been plenty of people trying to redo popular T.V. shows. It really has not been successful. People need to come up with more original ideas. If the creator thinks that the idea is bad, then the people who are creating the reboot should see it is not a good idea. Buffy was a very popular show if there is going to be a reboot the people from the original show should be involved.
