Picture this........The Place behind the Pines

It's too much!!! The Ryan Gosling starrer, written and directed by his BLUE VALENTINE director, The Place Behind the Pines, is looking like a mighty fine production, Ryan is playing a pro motorcycle rider who starts robbing banks to support his newborn son until he crosses paths with a determined young cop, to be played by the insanely delightful and spunky Bradley Cooper, and the producers are now in negotiations to add one moody Australian hunk, Ben mendelsohn to the cast! Oh mY!!!!

Ben....you troublemaker

Ben.....

Who knew he had it in him. we love him, but we are not always sure why, but tonight, Ben mendelsohn, thanked his grandma as he accepted his best actor award at the IF Awards, so cute!!!

The big Steal

Ben

So, having a discussion this evening about Ben Mendelsohn. Love him, pretty much since Henderson Kids, but have been racking our little brains to think of some romantic comedy type roles that we have loved the boy in. The last 3 things I have seen him in are 'Tangle', Beautiful Kate' and "Animal Kingdom', not so light and fluffy Mr Mendelsohn.

I do recall him being pretty sweet in 'AMY', a 1997 australian film starring Rachel Griffiths.

Check out the trailer and if you haven't seen it, it might be worth a watch! Note that Ben and Sullivan Stapleton are together again (also seen in Animal Kingdom as brothers - mental ones!)

Saturday is Fantasy Day

B is for beautiful boys.....

Top 10 bad boys

Who doesn't love a bad boy? Well certainly not J and K! However you define it, a bad boy, well he just kind of does things to the lady bits!!!!!

So the list...how did we define a bad boy? Womaniser, cheater, drug taker, excessive abuser of alcohol and drugs, partyboy, jailed, lady lover, hotel trasher, I'm sure you get the idea! The list is in no particular order, so look out, here it comes.

Buckle down, here are our top 10 BAD BOYS!

1. COLIN FARRELL
NO EXPLANATION REQUIRED!


2. JOHNNY DEPP
Lovely family man, devoted husband, yes all of that but do you recall the 21 JUMP ST days of drug taking and hotel trashing? Yes, he was one of my first bad boys!


3. JUDE LAW
Hmmm, Jude, sleeping with the nanny, kids out of wedlock, naughty, naughty boy!


4. ROBERT DOWNEY JR
Drugs, jail, rehab, more drugs, jail, rehab.....hmmm you qualify Robert!


5. DAVID DUCHOVNY
Gorgeous wife...sex addict! you are naughty! it doesn't help that you are Hank moody, the naughtiest boy on tv at the moment!


6. EWAN MCGREGOR
Ok, so no-one is officially saying you are naughty, but we know otherwise and clearly that cheeky smile gives you away! Join the list Ewan!


7. BEN MENDELSOHN
Yep, we know it. You're bad. vince or no Vince!


8. GERARD BUTLER
I'm pretty sure the main reason you have hit the bad boy radar is your supposed womanising ways. You like a good time and you like a pretty lady (and that scottish accent is working for you)! Please prove us right!!!


9. ROB LOWE
So bad! Celebrity sex tape pioneer, cheating on Laura Ingalls, a bit of nanny hooha and of course he will always be bad boy Billy to me.


10. ALEC BALDWIN
Bad boy? well bad parent and bad husband maybe!!!


HONOURABLE MENTIONS TO THE FOLLOWING GENTS FOR ALMOST MAKING IT!!!

Mark Wahlberg (jailbird!), cHRISTIAN sLATER (WIFE BEATER!), James Dean, Sean Penn, Jonathan Rhys Meyers, Ethan Hawke

Great Aussie cast.......

ANIMAL KINGDOM

saturday is fantasy day

Am loving the new series TANGLE, in the tradition of LOVE MY WAY, it stars an amazing Aussie cast. This has inspired my fantasy day today. A blast from the past crush but currently doing some great stuff! Here he is, all the way from Haven Bay and all grown up, Ben Mendelsohn.
