( The Good )

On Friday night, after I dropped the kids off and Jimmy was gone to jam, I heated up some Chinese food and drank a beer while I watched Brick. I thought it was quite entertaining. The best and most surprising part, for me, was the economy of Joseph Gordon-Levitt's performance. He wore the role unexpectedly well, and even though he's WAY too ( Read more... )

As I have mentioned before, I have a thing for the character named Ranger in the Stephanie Plum mysteries by Janet Evanovich. He's a Cuban-American bounty hunter, and he is described as being quite the bad-ass hunk of beefcake. Now, I am not usually all about the bodybuilder-type guys.
