The Iron Man Goes Back To Work

Dexie Wharton — Thu, 09 Apr 2009 17:51:42 +0000

Let me rephrase that title. “Tony Stark goes back to work”. Oh wait, It’s actually Robert Downey Jr.

Robert Downey Jr

Ah, who cares what name I call him. Iron Man, Tony Stark, or Robert Downey Jr. Iron Man 2 production started a few days ago and that’s the most important things. Everyone involve are working. From the huge stars all the way to the food caterer, heh.

My husband and I noticed right away from this picture that Robert Downey Jr looks really toned. Just look at his silhouette. It looks like Tony Stark will be sporting a goatee and smoking cigars too.

Say It With Me, “Vin Diesel”

Dexie Wharton — Fri, 20 Mar 2009 16:37:49 +0000

Vin Diesel and the original cast are back for the 4th installment of The Fast and The Furious movie. Thanks goodness for that because the 2 sequels sucked big time.

Vin Diesel

Let me take this few minutes of opportunity to drool over how handsome Vin Diesel looks with his gray & black combo suit and oh-so-sexy Aviators. HELLO!

The Fast and The Furious 4

Like I said, I’m so glad Vin Diesel and the original gang are back for this 4th movie installment. No offense to whomever were on the other 2 sequels but no matter how much I like Paul Walker, the movies just sucked. I didn’t even subject myself to watch part 3 after a very disappointing part 2. The trailer said it all for me.

FYI, Michelle Rodriguez is one kick-ass chick but I like Jordana Brewster more . I don’t care how cheesy the film plot is. I’m sure this part 4 will be much better than the last 2 movies. It is worth looking at sexy cars and *ahem* Vin Diesel and Jordana Brewster (alright, Paul Walker too).

The Fast and The Furious 4 is out on April 3rd. Watch the official trailer at YouTube.

Hugh Jackman Wears The "Canadian Tuxedo"

Dexie Wharton — Wed, 21 Jan 2009 16:01:11 +0000

Well, it’s not Hugh Jackman per se who is wearing the “Canadian Tuxedo”. It’s more of his Wolverine character. What the hell is a “Canadian Tuxedo“? Well, let me show you.

“Canadian Tuxedo” is the denim on denim ensemble. It’s called a fashion faux pas in some parts of the world but whatever right? Now that I’ve stopped grinning from ear to ear after seeing these pictures of Hugh Jackman as Wolverine in all his denim glory I can honestly say that my family is looking forward to watching the movie, X-Men Origins: Wolverine’, in the theaters as soon as it comes out. How about you?

BTW, Wolverine was born in Canada. A little X-Men trivia for you .

FYI : Dexie works for a Canadian-based company so she’s going to hide now. (Please don’t fire me)

Brad Pitt In His Tom Ford Suit

Dexie Wharton — Wed, 03 Dec 2008 00:29:15 +0000

At the movie screening of “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button” in New Orleans, Lousiana, Brad Pitt looked mighty dapper in his Tom Ford suit. Not only did he wear a Tom Ford suit, he wore a checkered necktie with a plaid shirt underneath.

If that’s isn’t a brave fashion move from Brad Pitt, I don’t know what is. I could bend sideways a million times and try to say something bad about it but like my husband said, Brad Pitt is 40, he is fit, looking good like that, who gives a crap about the combination of plaid and checkered prints? He’s got a point. Then I added, “Plus he’s with Angelina Jolie”. Well, there you go.

I’m looking forward to seeing the movie. It looks very interesting. Not to mention Brad Pitt is actually such a great actor so I can’t wait to see his portrayal of this intriguing character.

John Travolta Looked Young and Hip

Dexie Wharton — Sun, 23 Nov 2008 15:45:27 +0000

When I first saw this picture of John Travolta, I thought to myself, “Oh C’mon, he’s trying to look young and hip”. Un-tucked white dress shirt, with the bottom unbuttoned, a loose necktie, black blazer and pants. After looking at it for 2 days now, I eventually warmed up to this look.

So what if John Travolta is trying to look young and hip. I don’t think he’s going through a midlife crisis in this outfit. I think he’s just trying to appeal to the young crowd of his new movie BOLT with Miley Cyrus. As a matter of fact, he actually looks cool. It’s a very nice casual wear from John Travolta

By the way if you have children, BOLT is a good movie to bring them too. My family saw it yesterday and we all loved it. It’s funny and very heartfelt that would appeal to kids and adults alike.

GQ’s 25 Sexiest Women in Film

Dexie Wharton — Wed, 15 Oct 2008 15:28:47 +0000

For the November issue of GQ, the latter compiled a list of 25 Sexiest Women In Film. Here it is :

Ursula Andress – Dr. No
Melanie Griffith – Something Wild
Nastassja Kinski – Paris, Texas
Ludivine Sagnier – Swimming Pool
Charlotte Rampling – The Night Porter
Faye Dunaway – Bonnie and Clyde
Eva Green – The Dreamers
Karen Allen – Animal House
Jean Seberg – Breathless
Lisa Bonet – Angel Heart
Brigitte Bardot and Jane Birkin – Don Juan ‘73
Lena Olin – The Unbearable Lightness of Being
Anna Karina – Band of Outsiders

The rest of the list after the fold……

Raquel Welch – 100 Rifles
Sienna Miller – Layer Cake
Michelle Pfeiffer – Scarface
Penelope Cruz – Blow
Linda Harrison (That Chick from ‘Planet of the Apes’) – Planet of the Apes
Julie Christie – Darling
Scarlett Johansson – Lost in Translation
Ali MacGraw – The Getaway
Jacqueline Bisset – The Deep
Halle Berry – Swordfish
Jessica Alba – Sin City
Catherine Deneuve – Belle de Jour
Sophia Loren – Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow

Ummm, there’s actually 26 actress on the list? Yes. Would you argue about Sophia Loren’s inclusion? Of course not. I do question Sienna Miller though, heh. Angelina Jolie in Tomb Raider or Mr and Mrs Smith should’ve been added. It’s a sin to make a list of 25 Women, whatever it is and not have Angelina Jolie but have Sienna Miller in it. That’s preposterous GQ.

What do you think of the list? Who should and shouldn’t be on GQ’s 25 Sexiest Women In Film list?

Quantom Of Solace Theme Song

Dexie Wharton — Thu, 02 Oct 2008 15:15:41 +0000

Is anyone looking forward to the new James Bond movie? Seriously, how many times will they have to revamp the saga of movies, or whatever you want to call it. As always, part of the success of any Bond movies is the theme song. This time around, Alicia Keys gets the spot with “Another Way To Die” teaming up with Jack White of The White Stripes and The Raconteurs.

What do you think? Alicia Keys is hot. Who knew she has a little rock ‘n’ roll on her . Whatever she touches turn gold. So does this make Alicia Keys a Bond Girl now too? . Who’s going to watch the movie?

But wasn’t there already a Hulk movie with Eric Bana you ask? Yes, but the Marvel comics wanted to make their own. So here’s Edward Norton as The Incredible Hulk. My weekend has been scheduled. I guess we’re going to see it on Friday, which is the showing premiere.

Edward Norton is not looking bad at the premiere huh? I love his unbutton white shirt, blazer and pants ensemble. Simple, yet suave. Very California casual isn’t it? So refreshing. I love it.

Now the the question is, who’s a better Hulk, Erica Bana or Edward Norton? I guess we’ll see.

Tom Hanks’ Angels and Demons Movie Set Pictures

I know I know, Angels and Demons has nothing to do with Men’s fashion but it sure has a lot to do with Lifestyle . You guys watch movies and read books too right? . My husband and I have been waiting impatiently for this movie to get into theaters that I just have to share it. Angels and Demons is the prequel to Tom Hanks‘ The Da Vinci Code. You know, the phenomenon that Dan Brown started. Both books are amazing reads and even though the movie adaptation to The Da Vinci Code got a lukewarm reception from critics, albeit making lots of money, my husband and I loved it. And like I said, we are waiting for this next movie anxiously.

More Angels and Demons movie set pictures after the fold…

I don’t care what anybody says, Tom Hanks is the best and the only actor who could pull off Robert Langdon brilliantly. Ayelet Zurer is playing the character Vittoria Vetra.

If you haven’t, please read about Angels and Demons then decide whether you should read the book and watch the movie when it’s out. I suggest you do both. It’ll be one of the best books you’ll ever encounter. And then read The Da Vinci Code next. Hey, consider them your Summer Reads this year .

If you’re read both books, are you excited as I am to learn it’s finally coming into fruition, albeit slowly?

Iron Man already won the MTV Popcorn as the Best Summer Movie So Far award. Here’s Robert Downey Jr. and Jon Favreau posing jovially with their lovely popcorn. I just love how Downey has been rocking the sneakers with his blazers. I’m sure some people don’t like the look particularly, but I do. Some Men can’t pull it off, but the Iron Man could, any day .
