Monday Morning Man: Matthew McConaughey!

My first headline to solely consist of words beginning with the letter M! And I wasn’t even trying.

So here is Matthew McConaughey, an actor you have surely seen either on screen or in one of the gazillion paparazzi photos taken of him as he jogs around town shirtless or is surfing in Malibu. He’s a guy who seems to live his life to the fullest.

But Matthew’s movie career has its ebbs and flows. For every hit like How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days, Failure to Launch and A Time to Kill, there are truly awful bombs like Surfer, Dude (seriously one of the worst movies I have ever seen) and Fool’s Gold (almost as bad as Surfer, Dude).

My favorite McConaughey movie ever is Sahara, an adventure that was fun and energetic and thoroughly entertaining.

He’s got his next gig lined up. Variety reports that he will star as a low-level criminal defense attorney, Mickey Haller, in the thriller ‘The Lincoln Lawyer. In the film, his character represents a wealthy client who is connected to a murder case that he once handled.

But before that, his latest film, Ghosts of Girlfriends Past, has him starring alongside leading lady Jennifer Garner and is set to his theaters May 1.
