Heck Yes, We Would Follow Sam Worthington Into Battle

Amelia McDonell-ParryApril 12, 2010 //

This weekend I made the mistake of going to see “Last Song,” the Miley Cyrus movie based on a Nicholas Sparks novel. Let’s just say it made “Dear John,” that other movie based on a Nicholas Sparks novel that came out, like, a month ago (which I also saw) seem Oscar-worthy. Instead, I should have seen “Clash of the Titans,” starring infinitely bang-able Sam Worthington. I am pretty sure that movie sucks too, but two hours and 15 minutes with him has got to me more pleasurable than the suffering imposed by Miley’s lower lip. [Hollywood, 4/12/10] Keep reading »

Sam Worthington Is Not A Plumber

Though I love a good sci-fi movie (I’m a proud “Star Trek” nerd), the trailer made it look hokey and I couldn’t for the life of me understand why anyone would do anything to obscure the hotness that is Sam Worthington. But then I read the glowing reviews from just about everyone and considering every movie I did desperately want to see was getting terrible marks — “The Lovely Bones,” “Nine” — I thought maybe I should quit trusting my own instinct and just see the damn movie already. My boyfriend was pressuring me anyway. And I’m glad I did and think you should too. Here are five reasons why women should see and will love “Avatar.” Keep reading »
