Top 5 Attractive Men In Films
1. Chris Evans
Christopher Evans is an American actor and model. He is perhaps best known for his role in the films Not Another Teen Movie, Fantastic Four and Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer.
2. James McAvoy
James Andrew McAvoy is a Scottish stage and screen actor known for his roles in Atonement, The Last King of Scotland, The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, Penelope, Wanted, Frank Herbert's Children of Dune, Becoming Jane, and the British TV series Shameless and Early Doors.
3. Ioan Gruffudd
Welsh Actor Ioan Gruffudd got his start at age 13 in the Welsh soap opera, "People of the Valley". At 18, he won a spot at The Royal Academy of Dramatic Art. He won his first role in the TV film a few years later, in Poldark. After playing Oscar Wilde's lover in Wilde and Officer Lowe in Titanic, Gruffudd became a leading man in the Hornblower series of TV movies.
4. Patrick Dempsey
Actor Patrick Dempsey has lived two charming but separate lives on film and TV. From an exuberant, somewhat awkward charmer in college comedy films of the late 1980s and early 1990s, he has morphed spectacularly into a dreamy, wavy-haired TV hunk of the new-age millennium and this seductive new image has since spilled off into romantic lead roles back on the large screen as a slightly offbeat, self-effacing Prince Charming type.
5. Al Pacino
One of the greatest actors in all of film history, Al Pacino established himself during one of film's greatest decades, the 1970s, and has become an enduring and iconic figure in the world of American movies.

Last Day of School
I'll remember forever these corridors for various reasons...walks during Interval...the Overnight Camp..Special assemblies...sigh. I can't believe I've got to let go of all this and begin something completely new (College). School taught me a lot of things that I'm going to need to implement in the coming future. More importantly, It taught me about myself. I used to be a timid kid in kindergarten and I still am but it's no longer a handicap. I learnt that despite all my timidity, I was an amazing artist with a love for words and that all I needed to do was to develop those skills further. I made some very loyal friends who'd fascinate me with a variety of topics ranging from Mughal history and Architecture to Music and Love. I'm now leaving school with a heavy heart as well as a number of precious memories to cherish, for a lifetime.

Emily Browning - Why So Intense?
Here's my analysis based on planetary positions and aspects at her time of birth.
VENUS IN SCORPIO
The woman with Venus in Scorpio attracts lovers with powerful passions. Scorpio rules sex and power; two issues with which this sign must come to terms. She becomes absorbed in life and death themes at an early age and with this placement, she sees more of it than she wants to.
As she grows, she develops a love of mystery and puzzles that takes her ever deeper into the abyss of her own nature. She can draw a fatal attraction or she become a femme fatale. She can also become a woman of powerful passions and creativity. With maturity, the Venus-in-Scorpio woman attracts partners fascinated by science, psychology and mysticism.
MOON IN SCORPIO
A Scorpio Moon produces emotional responses that are intense, secretive, and passionate. The individual must learn to handle her strong, deep feelings, as she is extremely emotional and highly sensitive. A Scorpio Moon position gives an absolutely phenomenal memory. In ways, this is very good. Yet in other ways, it designates a person who may carry a number of psyche scars from remembering, too vividly, past events that perhaps should be forgotten. This is a difficult position for the Moon as the emotions become very powerful. The individual is impatient, moody and sometimes given to brooding.
VENUS CONJUNCT PLUTO
Her emotions, particularly when it comes to feelings of love and attachment, run very deep. Her personality is magnetic, and she tends to arouse strong feelings in others, who may find her intriguing or somehow offensive! In love, she can be quite possessive and possibly obsessive. At the root of obsessive feelings are
deep fears of rejection, loss, and betrayal. Her feelings often run hot or cold--love nature is generally extreme. She is always changed in a deep, fundamental way by her love experiences, though this may come about through painful and difficult confrontations or separations.
MOON CONJUNCT PLUTO
The conjunction of the Moon and Pluto produces an intense romantic nature. She seeks relationships with those who feel as deeply and as tenaciously as she does. She is a very possessive and demanding person, rarely impulsive or casual. It's hard for her to satisfy emotional needs for the perfect relationship because she is so idealistic and demanding. These traits often extend to friendships, as well. Because of this your friends are few but extremely close.

Sucker Punch
The premise of the film is that Baby Doll ( Browning) and her kid sister are in anguish after the death of their mother. Their wicked stepfather is left out of his wife’s will. When the letch starts creeping up on her sleeping sister, Baby Doll grabs his gun, conveniently left in the drawer in his study, and attempts to shoot him. She misses him, but not her sister. Stepdad takes Baby Doll to a mental institution, leaving him free to lay claim on the estate. Baby Doll is quickly scheduled for a lobotomy, and just as the doctor is about to hammer her frontal lobe, the scene suddenly changes. The general setting is the same, but now the mental institution is a seedy gentlemen’s club, and the other inmates are burlesque dancers.
The doctors and orderlies and security personnel become a dance instructor (Gugino), patrons and the sinister hustler Blue Jones (Isaac) who trades the girls’ misery for high roller cash.
Baby Doll very quickly concocts a plan to escape, and enlists the aid of her fellow dancers, Sweet Pea (Cornish), Rocket (Malone), Blondie (Hudgens), and Amber (Chung). The girls find themselves thrust into World War I trenches fighting clockwork zombies, battling orcs and dragons, dueling giant samurai warriors or fending off waves of Terminator-like robots on a speeding bullet train. Of course, things go south for the heroic ladies and they don’t all succeed in their escape.

Why'd you do it, John?
So, I've finally written a poem and although it may not be excellent, I loved every moment of thinking it up and writing it down. I've always desired to write something on the infamous 'Love Triangle' having been involved in a couple myself.

Born 22 October 1943
Catherine Deneuve was born in Paris, France, the third of four daughters.

She continued to appear in minor films until she was given a meaty part in Vice and Virtue. Although the elegant and always radiant Deneuve has never appeared on stage, she is universally hailed as one of the "grandes dames" of French cinema.

Supermoon on 19th March
In Astrology, a supermoon is a full or new moon that coincides with a close approach by the Moon to the Earth.
The combined effect of the Sun and Moon on Earth's oceans, the tide, is greatest when the Moon is new or full. Full Moons during lunar perigees exert an even stronger tidal force, resulting in more extreme high and low tides. Previous supermoons happened in 1955, 1974, 1992 and 2005. Each year had extreme weather events ,such as, the deadly tsunami in Indonesia occuring two weeks before the 2005 Supermoon.
On March 19, the moon will swing around Earth more closely than it has in the past 18 years, lighting up the night sky from just 356,577 kilometers away. On top of that, it will be full. And one astrologer believes it could inflict massive damage on the planet.
