#78 - new favorite

last night i watched last king of scotland and it was a GREAT movie. i knew it would be because of all the award nominations it got but sometimes i am a bit disappointed by what critics like. it was very well acted and filmed. but the highlight for me was james mcavoy. of course forest whitaker's performance was great and deserved the best actor award but his supporting actor (who played the president's personal doctor and "closest advisor") was incredible. first of all he's scottish with a great accent, beautiful blue eyes and overall great looks! he's my new movie star crush. i googled him of course and found out he's in atonement with keira knightley, which has been getting great press. also he's gonna be in "wanted" with my favorite actress, angelina jolie. this kid can act and i'm sure he's the new it boy. recently he was in chronicles of narnia, becoming jane and rory o'shea was here. the last one i actually saw and remember his good performance in that but didn't bother to look him up. trust me i'll be following this guy now. i'm such a sucker for blue eyes. his eyes just pop! atonement looks like a good movie from the previews i've seen. basically it's about a little girl who tells a lie and accuses her sister's lover (james) of committing a crime. scandalous! he was nominated for a golden globe for that movie. hopefully i won't become obsessed with him because i tend to do that. other actors i love & respect - leonardo dicaprio, heath ledger, edward norton, johnny depp, christian bale, jake gyllenhaal, joaquin phoenix. as for actresses, i like angelina jolie, gwyneth paltrow, hilary swank, charlize theron, nicole kidman, reese witherspoon, cate blanchett
