Fashion photography and videos

Annie Beust is a gorgeous young american model born in Seattle in 1988. I don’t know anything else about her, except that she looks great in lingerie, doesn’t she?

I suggest you also go and visit the photographer’s site: Catherine Louis

Time for more old movies. This movie was made in 1982. That’s 28 years ago. I guess that’s old, isn’t it?

Oh, Cat People. This is one of those movies I loved when I was way younger. It has the beautiful Natassja Kinski in it. That’s reason enough to watch it.

Malcolm McDowell is in it, too, which is awesome. And if that’s not enough, Annette O’Toole is in it, too. For the younger generation, she’s Superman’s mom in Smallville. But Annette is pretty young in this movie, and is damn sexy in it.

Cat People is not a masterpiece. It’s a bit entertaining, and I just like it for the nostalgic value. The plot is quite unrealistic and some aspects of it are just there just to provide some eroticism: there are people among us that can turn into Panthers….specially when they have sex…their problem is that they can’t turn human again unless they kill somebody. Irena (Natassja Kinki) is one of them; her brother Paul (Malcolm McDowell) is another one of these cat people. That’s it. There’s nudity, there’s blood, there’s dead prostitutes and wild panthers, naive cops and an unsatisfying ending.

A little bit of Popeye, just for fun. Here we have Popeye the Sailor in “Parlez Vous Woo”, a cartoon from 1956.

Olive is so captive by "The International", a radio personality with a French accent, that she’d rather stay home than go out on a date with Popeye. Bluto, overhearing this, comes to the door as the character. Popeye does his best to get Olive back, to no avail. Finally, Bluto challenges Popeye to a duel, ultimately stabbing him in the chest where his can of spinach was. Popeye unmasks Bluto, then eats another can of spinach to give himself a French accent.

How wonderful! A lot of my favorite TV shows are back. I think I’m going to spend a lot of time watching TV (online mostly) during the next few months.

House is back and strong in its sixth season. The season premiere was great, entertaining, fun and sad all at the same time. I love this show, and it looks like it’s going to continue being awesome. I just hope Olivia Wilde continues in it. She’s so gorgeous.

Casstle came back as well, and I’m happy about it. The show is great. Nathan Fillion is awesome, funny and charismatic, and Stana Katic is such a great actress and so enjoyable to look at.

Flashforward’s first episode was pretty interesting, and it seems like it’s going to be a great show, so I’m really hoping it becomes one of my favorites this season.

Ghost Whisperer is my guilty pleasure. The show is so cheesy sometimes, but I just can’t do anything else but love it. Maybe it’s because of Jennifer Love Hewitt. She’s so cute and sexy, and her laugh is so contagious. And she’s great in the show.

Heroes and Smallville are back, too, but I’m not sure if I’ll continue watching those shows. Heroes has been a constant disappointment from season to season, and I’ve just kept watching hoping they could start doing things right. The season premiere was the usual Heroes thing, a bit interesting, and setting up the plot for future episodes…and that usually is a very bad sign. Smallville, on the other side, used to be great, and now I find it boring, specially since Kristin Kreuk left the show. The only reason I keep watching it is because I love Superman, so I keep expecting that Clark Kent finally becomes Superman.

How I met your mother is here again, and it’s as funny as always. I have to say all of the actors in that show are pretty good and pretty funny. The writing is nice and the storytelling is cool. It never gets boring.

Finally, I think I’ll give Fringe another chance. I didn’t like the first episodes from the last season, but I’ve been hearing good comments about the show now. I guess it got better.

So, what are you watching this season?

I saw The Astronaut’s Wife yesterday. It’s a good movie, with a big of a disappointing plot and ending, and with two great actors (as you can see in the photo: Johnny Depp and Charlize Theron). It’s weird to see Johnny Depp playing a normal person, sort of. Charlize Theron did well in the role of a wife who apparently is going crazy while bad things happen to her due to her husband. Sounds familiar? I thought so, too. It seems as if Charlize decided to reprise her role in The Devil’s Advocate, except this time she’s not married to an advocate (Keanu Reeves), but to an astronaut. There’s a lot of parallels in the story of both movies: a young couple living in Florida decide to move to New York as the husband gets offered a great job over there. The wife gets pregnant and she suddenly realizes something is not right; something is happening, and her husband is to blame. You see? I’m describing both movies there!

Go rent both movies, or buy the dvds (The Astronaut’s Wife for about $9 and Devil’s Advocate for about $7). I think Devil’s Advocate is a way better movie, and Charlize is better in it, too. Nevertheless, I enjoyed watching Charlize Theron as the wife of an astronaut.

There are four things that come to my mind when I think of Charlize Theron: She’s a great actress; she is an absolutely gorgeous woman; she isn’t afraid of nude scenes; her roles are a bit repetitive. Case in point was the two movies I just talked about, but you can also see her playing a sort of depressed woman with lots of psychological baggage, usually haunted by her past: see Sweet November,  North County, Sleepwalking and The Burning Plain.  She plays a woman with issues even in Hancock and The Italian Job. I haven’t seen Monster, but I suspect she also plays a very messed up woman there, too.

On a more positive side, go see some really great photos of this beautiful woman at the FB Gallery, and then go buy Aeon Flux (DVD) and see her running around in tight clothes.

Mondays usually suck. I had the simple idea of making it a little better by posting a cool photo of a pretty lady in some lingerie. Now you need to thank Catrin Claeson for this amazing view.

That’s it, you can continue working (are you working now?).

This is what makes a great commercial: cool music and pretty girls. That’s why I like Victoria’s Secret commercial. They put cool music in their ads, and they feature absolutely beautiful women like Miranda Kerr, Alessandra Ambrosio, Adriana Lima and Selita Ebanks. The only way this could be more perfect is if you could see it in real life.

I know the commercial is a bit old, but who cares, right? Here we go:

I just noticed that we’ve featured some photos of the beautiful brazilian models Adriana Lima and Alessandra Ambrosio, but there’s nothing about Miranda Kerr. I’ll have to fix that soon.

Bonus: another Victoria’s Secret commercial

I like browsing around imdb looking for old and new things to watch. I probably spend as much time on that site as I spend time watching movies (or even working, ha!). For example, I just found out about this young hottie named Lisa Marcos who is one of the protagonist of a Tv series called The Listener, which apparently has already been cancelled in the US.

Stephen McHattie appears in one episode of that series. He is in a movie I saw a few months ago, called Pontypool (which is also a town in Wales, but the movie doesn’t have anything to do with that). I thought that was an interesting movie, I’d even suggest you try to go see it (the DVD hasn’t been released yet, so I don’t know if you’ll be able to watch the movie in theaters for now). I found it to be original, and a bit entertaining. But, I have to warn you that this movie is not for everybody. Some might find it boring, because nothing really happens. It’s a zombie movie without zombies. It’s a dialog movie (in fact, words are one of the protagonists of this movie). In conclusion, it’s a movie that you’ll either love or hate; there’s no in-between.

Actually, I’d say that this is a movie that you don’t really need to see, but you need to listen to. Considering the entire movie happens in a radio station, and the star of the movie (Stephen McHattie) spends 70% of the time talking into a microphone, trying to figure out what the hell is going on.

It was directed by Bruce McDonald, who’s also the director of The Tracey Fragments (starring Ellen Page), which is a completely bizarre and confusing movie (I’ll have to watch it again to see if I like it). The movie is based on the novelPontypool Changes Everything. I’m interested in reading that book, although I don’t know if it’s any good.

Zombies aside, let’s talk about cheating wives for a bit. I recently decided that Nastassja Kinski is gorgeous, and now I’d like to see as much of her work as possible (there’s a reason for that, but I might talk about it in future posts). I just saw one of her movies: Cold Heart and it is a bad movie. I mean, it’s not that bad if you have nothing else to do, but it’s not original at all, you’ll have the feeling you’ve seen similar movies a thousand times before.

Why then should you see it? Reason one: you get to see Nastassja Kinski without any clothes (that always adds points to any movie); she’s also in a couple cool sex scenes. But, if that doesn’t convince you, let me ask you something: are you a fan of LOST? If so, this is a must see for you, because the movie has two of the stars of your favorite Tv shows in it: Josh Holloway, the crazy guy who seduces Nastassja Kinski, and Jeff Fahey (you know, he’s Frank the Pilot in LOST), who is the cheating husband. You see, everybody’s cheating everybody in this movie, so Nastassja Kinski is the cheating wife (the title of the post makes sense now). If you’re a woman, let me tell you this: Josh Holloway and Nastassja Kinski have a couple of very steamy scenes here.

Will you see any of these two movies?
