Paramount will be releasing Jason Reitman’s Young Adult on December 16, 2011. Woopah!

Actors are a busy lot. All the research, workshopping, meetings, studio time, press releases, premiere events, Oscar screenings and after parties must get exhausting. And that’s just for one film. But, there are some go-getting young gunslingers in the acting community who want to go the extra mile and really get involved with the world outside the film industry. And here they are. A list of my favourite actors who want to make a difference.

Best For Film pitched up at the very end of this year’s London Spanish Film Festival to watch a deeply odd film about the life, love and constant petty theft of an enormous Spanish prostitute. Watch Mónica del Raval if you enjoy racist subtitles, chicken and chips and/or sweeping statements about geographically standardised penis size.

Three quarters of the way into our Christmas countdown, we’re relaxing our previously bird-centric attitudes to focus on the ladies who make Hollywood dainty and sweet-smelling and so on. Except for Lady Snowblood, who’s a mass murderer. And Margaret ‘Iron Lady’ Thatcher, who wore awful suits and destroyed British heavy industry more or less on a whim. And Lady, who’s a dog and reportedly spent most of her time off-camera licking her own vagina in a pile of fox shit. Ladies are unpredictable, is our point.
