Hottie of the Week: Famke Janssen

This is a lady who knows how to do wind-blown.

Oh. My. Hi there.

I'll be happy to play hide and seek with you.

Hottie of the Week: Dean O'Gorman

Whether you know him as a hobbit or a demigod's best friend, Dean O'Gorman's pretty. Super duper pretty. And he has a Kiwi accent, so it's a double win.

Movie Review: Trust Me

I do. I really, really do.

I suppose it's no surprise given last week's Hottie of the Week post that I purchased a digital copy of this as soon as it went live on Amazon. I mean, literally as soon as it did. I may have been refreshing the page a little. Don't judge me. 

In any case, I finished watching a few minutes ago, and I really enjoyed myself. To start off, this movie has a fantastic cast. Even the smallest parts are played well, and the leads are all stellar. I confess fully to being biased when it comes to Clark Gregg, who I already adore (and who, it should be noted, wrote and directed the movie in addition to starring in it), and the ever-lovely Amanda Peet, but even actors I was less familiar with and the handful of newcomers really shone. Saxon Sharbino (how cool is that name, people?!) was especially fantastic. I fully expect to see her pretty much everywhere soon.

One caution: don't walk in expecting all laughs. It's a dark comedy, which means you'll feel like grabbing for the tissues as often as the popcorn. The balance between the two is handled with real grace, and what the movie sometimes lacks in subtlety, it easily makes up with substance and heart. Well worth the time and money - you won't be disappointed. So go buy it.

Dem eyes and the smirk... yep.

I truly don't know how I haven't done this before, and I sincerely apologize. After binge-watching the last couple episodes of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., this was the only thing that I could do. I could go on about how he's adorable and a total geek and seems genuinely nice, but you probably already know that because you have the good taste to be here. Enjoy!

I feel the same way.

All Coulson-ed up. Yum.

The glasses kill me - in a good way.

And a little bit of skin for y'all because I love you.

We Are The Champions!

It's never the wrong time to look at Zachary Levi.

Well, I'm the champion. I really can't speak for you. In all seriousness, I completed Camp NaNoWriMo, and I feel fantastic. I only did 25,000 words this round since I was shooting for a novella. Not only did I knock out the word count, the story itself is close to complete. Well, the first draft. We all know that's a starting point, not an end point. Why didn't I learn that sooner? In any case, it's a huge chunk of work done, and my main characters have been tortured appropriately with at least somewhat of a reward in the end. I'm not entirely heartless. 

With that done, and my book club book read (we did Dreams & Shadows by Robert Cargill this month), it's time for some recreational writing, tacky movie watching, and fan fiction reading. Let there be geeky hedonism!
