A golf-clap is in order for Joseph Gordon-Levitt. The road to stardom is littered with has-beens, and by has-beens, we mean kid-stars—tykes who got the money, fame, and power before they even had a chance to use it to make bad decisions. Staying above the D-list for an actor as they get older and lose their bankable cuteness isn’t an exact science. Sometimes it’s just not meant to be, whether it’s drugs (River Phoenix), over-saturation (Macaulay Culkin), or just plain bad luck (Jonathan Brandis). With 500 Days of Summer destined to be a subversive rom-com classic, and Inception still dominating the box office, Levitt has officially circumvented the acting Gods and earned himself a place at the A-list, grown-up roundtable.
But he’s not alone. Going from kid-star to just star is far from impossible. It’s been done before. Before we continue, though, let’s verify something: getting your own reality show, losing a lot of weight, or clinging to the spotlight based on your own ironic craziness doesn’t count. That means Danny Bonaduce, Corey Feldman, Melissa Joan Hart, and Valerie Bertinelli are still lame.

INCEPTION MOVIE REVIEW: It’s that time… time for all of you to go out and experience Inception. Some of you may have seen the film, others not, I have tried my best to keep any and all spoilers out of this review while still talking about the film as a whole. If you haven’t seen it, you should be fairly safe, if you have, there’s plenty for you to argue with me about as this is a rather massive review to reflect my enormous opinion about it.
Without anyone more pointless babble, lets get to it…
