Chris Hemsworth, Man Crush

I have always found that it’s interesting when people discuss man and woman crushes. Some people think it’s strange to think someone of the same gender is attractive, but I really don’t see the big deal. If someone is attractive in your eyes and they are the same gender, that’s your prerogative and who really cares what anyone else think? Which got me thinking about the concept of man crushes. The question today is for all the guys out there, which famous guy is your man crush? Don’t feel afraid to say, there’s no shame in it whatsoever. And in case anyone’s wondering, my man crush is Chris Hemsworth.

And I’ll be asking the question of woman crushes for all the ladies out there on Wednesday.

Film Title

Snow White and the Huntsman

Director

Rupert Sanders

Starring

  • Kristen Stewart as Snow White
  • Chris Hemsworth as the Huntsman
  • Charlize Theron as Queen Ravenna
  • Sam Claflin as William
  • Sam Spruell as Finn
  • Ian McShane as Beith
  • Bob Hoskins as Muir
  • Toby Jones as Coll
  • Ray Winstone as Gort

A dark and stormy twist on the Snow White tale, Snow White and the Huntsman brings the tale to life with style. Yet for all that, a sometimes dragging narrative and questionable casting stop it from becoming a complete success.

Once upon a time, a King and Queen live in a prosperous kingdom. The Queen gives birth to a princess who is named Snow White. Snow White and the Huntsman PosterSadly, the Queen dies and the King is left in a web of grief. Invading forces attack and the King goes to battle, eventually destroying the mysterious army. Among the dead, he discovers a beautiful woman by the name of Ravenna. Besotted with her beauty, the King hastily marries her. But he doesn’t realise that Ravenna is in fact a twisted and vengeful sorceress. Ravenna murders the King and brings her dark forces to the kingdom, which causes everything to wither into darkness and hopelessness. Ravenna is obsessed with remaining young and beautiful and as a result locks Snow White away in a tower. She retains her youth by draining the life force of young girls and then consulting with her magic mirror. When the mirror tells her that Snow White is the fairest, Ravenna descends into rage and plots her death. Meanwhile, Snow White sees an opportunity to escape and manages to. The young princess finds herself in the Dark Forest, which is feared by everyone. Enraged, Ravenna summons a drunken Huntsman to track her down. The Huntsman has no interest in helping the evil queen at first, but when she promises to bring his deceased wife back to him, he agrees. Venturing into the woods, he tracks Snow White and when it is revealed that Ravenna has tricked him, joins forces with the princess. They find themselves tracked by the Queen’s forces and journey deeper into the ravaged land. There they come across a band of dwarfs who were loyal to her father and William, a young nobleman with whom Snow White was friends with as a child. As she is the King’s daughter, she must be the one to lead the rebellion against Ravenna and take back the kingdom for good once and for all.

Debuting director Rupert Sanders bring a whole lot of style and panache to this film. Instead of a quaint fairy tale that has been done a thousand times, he delves into the dark heart of the story and brings the Gothic nature of it into view. The set design is absolutely sublime, with The Dark Forest being the highlight of an impressive array of visual splendour with moody colour scheme and creepy effects. The costumes are fantastic, especially in the case of Ravenna, who dresses to kill both metaphorically and literally. It’s great to see a different take on Snow White as a character. Kristen Stewart Snow WhiteHere she is an innocent girl who transforms into a Joan of Arc style warrior leading men into battle. This is a far cry from the winsome and fawning portrayals of the eponymous princess we have seen. And yet there lies part of the problem with Snow White and the Huntsman, it can’t quite makes its mind up of what it wants to be. On one hand we have the effective dark fantasy with a few tweaks here and there. But by altering some of the classic story, the passion is lost. There is supposed to be passion between Snow White and the Huntsman, and even something of a love triangle with William, yet it curiously falls flat. And a middle section that drags at a snail’s pace does the movie no favours. Thankfully, the thundering musical score conjures up some striking moments of drama and magic.

Kristen Stewart portrays Snow White and I must say, is not really that memorable or good in the part. She nails the gloomy stance in the beginning quite well, but seems incapable of escaping this open-mouthed stare and emotionless drudge. Stewart doesn’t convince either when it comes to the growth of the character throughout the narrative. I can’t help but feel that if someone else where in the part, I would have enjoyed it a lot more. Chris Hemsworth fares much better as the Huntsman, by carefully bringing a worn-out persona and lonely existence to this brutish man. Yet the real fireworks come from a superb Charlize Theron. RavennaPortraying Ravenna as a woman consumed by fear, hatred and no mercy, she is marvellous when she takes the floor and vents her fury. Possessing that imperial gaze and glint of eye, Theron makes what could have been a stock character very interesting and arresting by showing us her back story and why she is the way she is. Sam Claflin doesn’t register that well as Snow White’s friend from childhood, but Sam Spruell sends shivers down the spine as Ravenna’s too close for comfort brother. The acting talents of Ian McShane, Bob Hoskins, Toby Jones and Ray Winstone add dashes of humour to the proceedings as the dwarfs.

Snow White and The Huntsman may be stylish and a visual marvel, there’s just something missing because of the unevenness in tone and lack of passion to balance things out. Saying that, I enjoyed it a hell of a lot more than Mirror, Mirror.

The Best Asses in the Business

Best Asses, Beyoncé Knowles, Chris Hemsworth, Kylie Minogue, Liam Hemsworth, Matt Bomer, Scarlett Johansson

After seeing that fellow blogging buddy Eric is the undisputed boob master and that Zobo is a fan of a pert bottom, I was christened with the title of ass master. Now I have to live up to that title as the expert is all things related to ass. So I decided to compile a list of the best asses in the entertainment business, 3 for women and 3 for men. So prepare for a post of pert, peachy and just all round amazing behinds of some of the hottest people in the business.

So up first are the ladies:

Kylie Minogue

No list of gorgeous bottoms would be complete without Kylie Minogue. The pint-sized superstar boasts one of the most recognizable behinds ever. A sexy woman already with her long legs and killer smile, he pert bottom is the icing on the top of the cake for many a music fan. And who can forget how she had pulses racing in those golden hot pants in the music video for her smash hit Spinning Around?

Beyonce

Beyoncé Knowles is one of my favourite singers. With the voice of an angel and devastating good looks, she’s an amazing entertainer in my book. And with her curvaceous booty that soon became her trademark, it’s not hard to see why she makes this list.

Scarlett Johansson

Beside from being one of the foxiest women on the planet, the delightful Scarlett Johansson boasts an incredible behind that has been shown off in multiple movies.

Matt Bomer gif

Matt Bomer makes hearts flutter with almost everything he does, but his peach of an ass is in many people’s book a rare piece of art. I can’t help but give him credit for his moneymaker which from the gif above he knows how to work to the best of his ability.

Chris Hemsworth Rush gifAs if being handsome and muscle-bound wasn’t enough for Chris Hemsworth, he also has a finely rounded ass to top that off. Lucky guy, some of us guys just wish for half of those things and never get them.

Liam Hemsworth gifHaving a fine ass seems to run in the family if this gif of Liam Hemsworth is anything to go by.

Chris Hemsworth, Chris Pine, Colin Farrell, Kirsten Dunst, Ladies in Leather, Marion Cotillard, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Sienna Miller

Once again, it’s another ladies post. This time it’s a bevy of stunning actresses rocking leather. Leather has so many connotations, ranging from sexual dominance to elegant sophistication and that’s why it’s such an interesting choice of clothing. But don’t worry all the ladies out there, there’ll be two guys for you to look at near the end of the post, also clad in leather. And once more I’d like to extend my thanks to Zoe, for giving me the inspiration for these posts.

Sarah Michelle GellarThe gorgeous Sarah Michelle Gellar brings a rock chick sensibility to this sexy get up.

Kirsten Dunst

The delightful Kirsten Dunst encompasses the role of a playful vixen in this shot.

Sienna MillerThe sensual Sienna Miller displays athletic prowess in this racy photo.

Marion Cotillard

The stunning Marion Cotillard exudes a Gothic sophistication in this sombre outfit.

And now for the guys, who also sport leather. Today for all my blogging sisters out there we have Chris Hemsworth, Chris Pine and Colin Farrell. Chris Hemsworth is at the request of Table 9 Mutant.
