  David Boreanaz was a sweet teenager with bad skin and a fear of roosters. Turns out not much has changed, except the skin, of course. Read on to find out what's at the source of David's angelic glow.
When I was 17: One of my favorite actresses was Natalie Wood. I loved her sheer sense of strength, and I just loved her eyes. She was very compelling; she was very fresh and unique, very beautiful on screen. She just encompassed everything. I think she's the perfect brunette.
Now: Not that I have anything against Sandra Bullock — she's great, she's very talented, I like her, I love her — but opposed to Natalie Wood, there's a different look, a different stare, a different intrigue . . .
When I was 17: I saw Madonna in concert at the Veteran's stadium in Philadelphia.
Now: I want to get Snoop Dogg's new CD. I love 50 Cent — I've already got that one. And then I always revert back to classic rock: the Stones and the Dead. I'm a big Deadhead.
When I was 17: I had my inner struggles. When you go from being a freshman to being a senior, it's a rite of passage. I had braces, but they came off. I had bad skin. But I was pretty well-liked by everybody, in terms of being able to fit in and have a good time. It was more of an inner struggle during those years of adolescence.
Now: You hopefully never find the answer. Every day you're evolving into someone different, and during each different stage, you find yourself in this crux position, thinking, What does it all mean?
When I was 17: I had a phobia of heights. And I wasn't a big fan of chickens or birds. I was at a camp, when I was, like, four, and I got trapped on one end of the barn by a rooster that didn't like me, obviously. We used to throw rocks at the roosters, and watch them go fluttering away, and I think this guy was pissed off at me.
Now: I got over the phobia of heights. I'm still afraid of birds. |

Lord of The Rings
You love action almost as much as you love camaraderie. In The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers, "The Fellowship", has split, with Frodo (Elijah Wood) and Sam (Sean Asten) heading toward Mordor, the only place that the ring can be destroyed. Meanwhile, Aragorn (Viggo Mortensen), Gimly (John Ryes-Davies) and Legolas (Orlando Bloom) are off to rescue Merry (Dominic Monaghan) and Pippin (Billy Boyd) who have been kidnapped by Orcs. On their way, they encounter an unlikely guide, and wind up defending a human city from a dark army. |

| The Rock is growing on us. We're still not going to spend our Friday nights watching pro wrestling on television, but this muscular behemoth has a definite sense of humor, including about himself, and he shows both it and his chiseled physique off to advantage in The Rundown, a chase-'em-and-shoot-'em movie that is a cut above the average action-hero flick.
Witness this exchange, which occurs when the Rock (born Dwayne Johnson) enters a shanty bar in the middle of the Amazon jungle and says, "I'm looking for a man."
"What's your type?" replies Mariana (Dawson), a saucy barmaid.
The Rock plays Beck, who longs to open a gourmet restaurant but in the meantime hunts down people for pay. He travels to Brazil to find the adventurer son (Scott) of a rich client but soon finds himself battling both rebel soldiers and a corrupt mine owner (Walken) who commands whip-wielding thugs.
Director Peter Berg (Very Bad Things) brings a hip goofiness to the proceedings without sacrificing the action. Dawson does what she can with a dopey part and Scott is less offensively irksome than in his recent American Wedding turn. (PG-13) Rating: 2.5/4 Stars

Childhood pals Sean Penn (left) and Kevin Bacon learn the hard way that adult life is no game in a penetrating thriller.

| Upon hearing that the badly beaten body of a 19-year-old missing girl has been positively identified, a veteran detective at the crime scene looks over at the victim's father, who's anxiously awaiting news, and mutters, "He's in for a world of hurt." So is nearly everyone in this outstanding drama, which hauntingly reveals how pain is too often part of living, violence has ruinous consequences, and some cuts go too deep ever to heal. Looking for an eloquently complex film aimed squarely at grown-ups? Mystic River is it.
In a working-class neighborhood in Boston, the lives of three old friends — Jimmy (Penn), an ex-con now running a corner store; Sean (Bacon), a police detective; and Dave (Robbins), an underachiever — intersect after Jimmy's daughter is murdered. Sean's resultant investigation dredges up dark memories of the pivotal moment in their childhood when Dave was coerced into climbing into a car with two adult male strangers while Jimmy and Sean stood by helplessly. What happened that day haunts and influences the trio forever.
With River, Clint Eastwood has directed his finest film, aided greatly by screenwriter Brian Helgeland's deft adaptation of Dennis Lehane's 2001 novel. Eastwood's notorious no-muss, no-fuss style shows in the rough look of a few exterior scenes, but there's no faulting the performances he elicits from a powerhouse cast. Penn is a brilliant mix of anguish and intensity, Bacon is knife-sharp as a cool professional afraid to let himself feel, and Robbins, possibly the best of all, is shattering as a broken man fast disintegrating. Also excellent are Harden as Dave's conscience-plagued wife, Linney as Jimmy's too loving spouse (her penultimate scene is a knockout) and Fishburne as Sean's savvy partner. (R) Rating: 3.5/4 Stars | | | |
