Ok, this is an unusual one. I got inspired to write this post because for the life of me I couldn't figure out why this one photo I used to accompany a news posting about Entourage gets sooo many clicks! I'm just baffled how it gets sooo much traffic, and he's not even shirtless! 🙂 …

Happy Belated Birthday, Russell Crowe!
Russell Ira Crowe turned 46 this past Wednesday. I guess I have a penchant for rugged men with a gravelly voice. Before Gerard Butler captured my attention, the New Zealand-born Aussie thespian blew me away as general Maximus Decimus Meridius in Gladiator (2000).

Timothy Dalton: The most underrated actor of all time?
Inspired by a recent similar post by Caz from Let's go to the movies, and the fact that award season looms upon us, I thought I'd bring forward the one actor that I thought deserves far more recognition than he currently gets. Perhaps the title of this post could be construed as a bit of …
