New Favorite: Cate Blanchett
I recently saw Robin Hood. (It was actually a few weeks ago, and I’ve been meaning to do this post since, but I’ve been busy.)
Anyhow, seeing this movie really opened my eyes to the whole Russel Crowe hotness I always hear people talk about, and usually think “huh? reallyyyyy?” Well, ladies. I see it. It’s all so clear to me now. He really is somewhat of a sexy beast. Maybe just as Robin Hood? I have yet to see him in anything else.
Although I’m thinking watching Gladiator might make it on to my to do list….
Another new favorite of mine, I have discovered after watching Robin Hood, and the reason for this here post:
The lovely, Cate Blanchett.
Before Robin Hood, I had only seen her in Lord Of The Rings, and the most recent Indiana Jones movie. Since seeing her play Maid Marian, I have become a bit obsessed. I got a bit choked up when she rode in one her horse to fight with the men. I Love a good old fashioned bad ass.
I think she is gorgeous. She just looks so classy, and timeless. I read an article and interview with her in a magazine at the doctors office, and fell in love. She seems like a super cool chick with a great sense of humor. Cate Blanchett is a new favorite.
I plan to have myself a Cate movie marathon, to catch up on some of her flicks. I have actually wanted to see Elizabeth: The Golden Age since it came out, but never did.
Elizabeth is an AMAZING movie. I’d watch it with you again
I helllllla want to see it. Part of my issue, is I rarely, if ever, watch movies alone. It’s just not my thing. SO, I usually don’t watch movies unless other people want to see them. Kind of silly.
Yes indeed he does look good in Robin Hood! I’m glad I’m not the only one who thinks so.
I have been a fan of Cate’s for a decade plus and she ceases to give anything less than a brilliant performance. I’m happy you’ve so recently discovered her, you’re in for a real treat catching up with her career! A little tip however, watch Elizabeth before you watch the Golden Age. The latter is a very campy OTT film even though Cate is typically brilliant, there are parts of that film that are painful to watch cuz of the kitschiness.
Otherwise, be sure & watch her performances in Heaven, The Talented Mr. Ripley, Bandits (she’s hysterical in this), I’m Not There (absolutely gobsmacking brilliant in this film!!!) & Coffee & Cigarettes-totally worth it! Have fun!
Rad! Thanks for the tips!
