Kyle Chandler Nominated for FNL

Awesome news  - after seeing Kyle Chandler in Super 8, I quickly became a fan....Kyle is one of the most under-rated stars in Hollywood, and now that he's nominated (again) for Best Actor in a Drama Series for Friday Night Lights, I'm rooting for him.

Also - Friday Night Lights is also nominated for Best Drama Series (an uncommon feat for a show in it's 5th (and final) season!).

See the full list of nominations here.

Peeps - chat laters!

My New Crush - Kyle Chandler

This is my new crush - after seeing Kyle Chandler in Super 8, I'm awestruck by his handsomeness, green eyes and cool disposition. Sorry Alec!


I first saw Kyle Chandler in Kong Kong where he played Bruce Baxster - I thought at that point that he was so handsome - really classic, movie star looks. 

But after seeing Kyle as Jackson Lamb in Super 8, it made me realise that he is one of the most under-rated actors in Hollywood. 


In recent times, I've not seen an actor evoke such emotion by simply the movement of his eyes and the expression in his face.

There's a scene in Super 8, where Jack has an argument with his son, and you can sense that he wants to hug him, but he can't, simply because he doesn't know how to be a father - and all this from the intensity in his voice, the movement in his eyes and his facial expression. Now - that's good acting!

Anyways peeps - TTYL!

Happy 235th America

HAPPY JULY 4TH!

Here's a poem by Ralph Waldo Emerson called "A Nation's Strength" that gives creedence to the Nation's forefathers in the fight for democracy and freedom.....

What makes a nation's pillars high
And its foundations strong?
What makes it might to defy
The foes that round it throng?


It is not gold. Its kingdoms grand
Go down in battle shock;
Its shafts are laid on sinking sand,
Not on abiding rock.


Not gold but only men can make
A people great and strong;
Men who for truth and honor's sake
Stand fast and suffer long.


Have a great one guys and gals!

Transformers 3 and Bad Teacher

I was on a roll today with the movies - I saw "Transformers 3: Dark of the Moon" and "Bad Teacher".

The 3-D in Transformers was awesome - one of the best. The story line was OK, not great - just OK - at least I did not get lost in the story as I did in Transformers 2. If this is not your type of movie, then skip it, but it might be worth seeing for the visual effects only - there's so much happening at the same time and the Transformers are larger than life on screen.

One of the annoying things about the movie was the love relationship between Sam and Carly - I mean this girl is smoking hot, but I just wasn't getting the vibe that they were madly in love with each other!

Also the acting was pretty basic - nothing and no-one really stands out, except for maybe John Turturro.

Bad Teacher was a bit of a surprise - it's a bit ditzy, but it was entertaining and it did crack me up! The movie is pretty krast with the jokes, and seems to follow the trend of Bridesmaids, The Hangover and Forty Year Old Virgin! But for the purpose of entertainment - that it surely is!

I still think "Super 8" is the best I've seen this year - it's a nice break from all those summer blockbusters with comic book super heroes (Thor, Green Lantern and Captain America), with big leading actors.

Super 8 takes it simple, with no big lead actors and a rare feat in movies today - connection with the characters where you feel for the and even root for them to win! See a post I did on Super 8 here.

Anyways peeps - TTYL!
