Ryan Gosling (2004).

And now, Chris Pine.

Following in a long list of hot-ass dudes, Pine, who steps into the Shatner role in this summer’s Star Trek film, will be honored with the ShoWest Male Star of Tomorrow at the annual cinema owners convention in Las Vegas in April.

Last year, the award was given to Emile Hirsch…when they thought Speed Racer was going to be a major blockbuster.

ShoWest managing director Mitch Neuhauser says, “ShoWest has a history of recognizing major talents at the very earliest points in their rising careers and Pine’s impressive skills on the screen and stage will be sure to be showcased.”

Law Abiding Citizen See It or Skip It

F. Gary Gray's latest effort, Law Abiding Citizen, starring Jamie Foxx and Gerard Butler, is a knockout! Exhilirating, wry and breathcatchingly paced, it's a stellar accomplishment for everyone involved. Hell yeah you should see it!

The Boys Are Back See It or Skip It

Scott Hicks, the director of Shine, and Clive Owen teamed up for this gloriously beautiful if underwhelming project. It's not that it's bad, it's just not that memorable and with such supreme talent attached, I was hoping for and expecting a lot more.

Jennifer's Body See it or Skip it

Oh, Diablo Cody, why'd you have to do it? I love you so long...and then you made this. Megan Fox does what she always does, she looks hot. At least there's that. Sophmoric, unfunny and obsessively idiosyncratic, it's a painful movie going experience.

See It or Skip It: World's Greatest Dad

Chocolate and peanut butter. Spaghetti and meatballs. Bobcat Goldthwait and profanity. Two great tastes that taste great together. Gone is the Bobcat of the Police Academy movies and in his stead is a fantastic writer-director who's able to orchestrate the most brilliantly, hilarious vulgarity imaginable. World's Greatest Dad is a fantastic dark comedy (very dark) that features Robin Williams' best performance since Good Will Hunting. See it!
