I remember being at a Boy Scout leadership summer camp with I was 11 years old and a prize was given if we could find out the definition of the word "ubiquitous."

Now remember, this is 1981/82. There are no smart phones. We're in the middle of the woods. There are no libraries. However, there was an old hunter's cabin 3 miles further into the wilderness. Something told me there was a dictionary planted there for someone willing to go the extra effort to get there.

I was right.

And I've never forgotten the definition I read that day: simultaneously present at all times.

Ubiquitous is a fantastic way to describe Kevin Hart (pictured above with Dwayne Johnson). You literally can't get away from the guy. I mean, he JUST opened a new movie, "Night School," and now there's a trailer for his NEXT film, "The Upside."

This movie opens in January and is based on a true story of a paralyzed billionaire (Bryan Cranston) who strikes up an unlikely friendship with a recently paroled convict (Kevin Hart). Nicole Kidman, Julianna Margulies and Aja Naomi King also star.
