Guilty Pleasures Monday – Keanu Reeves

Copyright 20th Century Fox - Used under Fair Use ProvisionsYes, he was adorably surfer dude in Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure, but I couldn’t last through the first of the MATRIX movies.

My favorite of all time with him is A WALK IN THE CLOUDS. This was a totally romantic movie set in California’s wine country. The cinematography was amazing and the story touching on various levels. It’s worthy buying and you can get it at Target for under $10 (probably even for $5).

Some say he’s wooden at times, but when he lets loose that little boy grin, he’s totally sexy and there’s something earnest about him with those big brown eyes.

Also — don’t forget SPEED with another of my faves, Sandra Bullock. That was an action-packed movie and Sandra and Keanu had great sexual tension.

Here’s a great retrospective from November86 at YouTube!

Guilty Pleasures Monday – Sam Elliott

Poster courtesy of WIKI and Copyright of Paramount Pictures - Used under the Fair Use Provisions for comment on the actor and movieI guess a weekend “down the shore” as Jersey folk say has me thinking of lifeguards which got me to remembering the movie LIFEGUARD with Sam Elliott, a real hottie in his day.

You can click here for more about Sam Elliott, but you’ll be amazed by how many movies and television shows he’s done. For me, he always had the kind of cowboy/military ruggedly handsome look.

Now, don’t think that LIFEGUARD is a fluff kind of movie. It is surprisingly, a rather complex and intriguiging look at a man who is questioning his life and all that he enjoys because of the pressure of others, including a possible romantic interest in the form of Anne Archer. If you can find this movie on TV or buy the video, it’s worth watching.

I’d put Sam Elliott in the same category as Tom Selleck and Mark Harmon – they’ve all matured perfectly!!

Guilty Pleasure Monday – Brad Pitt

This image or file is a work of a U.S. Air Force Airman or employee, taken or made during the course of the person's official duties. As a work of the U.S. federal government, the image or file is in the public domain. From WikipediaIt had to finally happen. I couldn’t keep on ignoring Brad Pitt, especially considering how great he looked in TROY. Didn’t like his character very much, but you can’t argue with the fact that he was ripped for that movie.

Then of course, there was the first time many of us laid eyes on him in THELMA & LOUISE. Wow! He was so amazing. I wondered, “Who is this guy and where can I see him next?”

I’ve often thought that he resembles Robert Redford a lot and that was quite apparent in SPY GAME. The similarities between the two men was absolutely amazing!

Also, I really like Mr. & Mrs. Smith. I thought it was a great romantic comedy/spy/action/black comedy. You get it. A mix of a lot of things, which actually may have turned some people off. Also — little known fact. When I was asked about the cover for MORE THAN A MISSION, I said, how about something like the poster for Mr. & Mrs. Smith and here’s what I got!

MORE THAN A MISSION - August 2007

I loved the knife on the thigh!

Hope you liked this Monday’s Guilty Pleasure.

Guilty Pleasure Monday – Michael Weatherly

Today’s Guilty Pleasure Monday is sexy Michael Weatherly from the hit CBS show NCIS (one of my favorites!). I love his quirky character, Tony DiNozzo, but I hated that they killed off the first female NCIS agent since the sexual tension with them was great. They’ve been trying to build it again with Ziva, the Moussad agent working with NCIS. It’s a great show and Mark Harmon is still pretty hot as well. Check it out! The 2 hour season finale is May 20 – this Tuesday and looks like it will be awesome.

You may also remember Michael from DARK ANGEL where he starred with Jessica Alba.

Here’s a trailer with a sneak peak of the big season finale on Tuesday, May 20th:

Guilty Pleasures Monday – Jason Taylor

He can play football and he can dance! What more can you ask? Well, he’s damn sexy as well!

Today’s Guilty Pleasure is Jason Taylor and if you like today’s picture, you can get it for your desktop at Jason’s site by clicking here.

Jason plays for the Miami Dolphins although there’s a lot of conjecture on ESPN and other sports networks as to whether he’ll be back with the Dolphins this year. Regardless, we’re lucky to be seeing him on Dancing with the Stars. Here’s a widget for you so you can keep track of Jason and what’s up on Dancing with the Stars.
