No, I don't watch a lot of new movies. I think Anne Hathaway is BEAUTIFUL, but I can't think of any film she's in that's actually worth watching beyond her presence. Same with Emma Stone.

I love any movie that contains Emma Stone (I haven't seen Easy A, though)

I especially like The Help and Zombieland. When I see her name in the credits I know I'm in for a treat. Hathaway on the other hand, best movie she was in was The Devil Wear Prada. She was also in Burton's Alice in Wonderland, but I found her character too damn annoying. Let's hope she can do Catwoman some justice.

Megan Fox has beady little weasel eyes. Not attractive to me in the slightest.

DS beat me to Carla Gugino. She's a genuinely talented actress who is almost a chameleon from role to role. In recent years she has played some very sexual roles, and God bless her for it.

I would have to put forth Helen Mirren. Helen Mirren is a legitimately great actress, maybe one of the best actresses. She's also very, very attractive.

Here is Helen Mirren in the '60s:

Here is Helen Mirren today:

And she's a brilliant actress. Just very good at what she does.

Weird. I had to look up IMDb and apparently I have seen nine movies she was in, but none of her parts stuck to mind. Clicked through each of her movies and only recognized her as Silk Spectre from Watchmen. Maybe I should revisit the other movies I own where she is in.

My pick: Vera Farmiga

Is it just me or is the "today" picture sexier? Can people get hotter with age?

I don't know. I remember thinking, even as a kid, that she was hot in Excalibur.

Well, I'm not going to post it here, but if you're interested, google "Helen Mirren" and "Age of Consent."

The "today" picture is recent and Helen Mirren is presently in her 60s. And I still agree she is very attractive. But she is still an amazing actress. Very good.

If I can sidetrack, there is one other actress who has become something of a sex symbol in her "later" years. Patricia Clarkson, this lady...

... did not hit her stride of recognition until she was well in her 40s. A good looking lady, who's also a good actress.

I don't want to argue about the pros and cons of youth obsessed Hollywood (let alone the sexism), but both Mirren and Clarkson are great of examples of women who have managed to play roles that are age-appropriate and still remain sexy.

I'm no saint when it comes to RANDOM GRATUITOUS NUDITY, but I still find both of those ladies preferable to weaselly-faced Megan Fox.

And Burgomaster? Ginger Lynn is preferable to Amber Lynn any day of the week. At least she was in Vice Academy.
