The Aussie is not always a total bad ass!

"Wrath Of The Titans" Hunk Sam Worthington On His Softer Side

The actor explains that he's much more than just a fearless action hero.

Sam Worthington is a screen hunk who doesn't mind a little teasing from his girlfriend, Crystal Humphries. She will even point out the fact that he's not exactly "Workout Guy." "I don't really like the gym. I try to put that fact into my characters," he jokes. "In fact, my girlfriend watched Wrath (of The Titans) and said, 'Sam, you run really funny. You look out of breath and out of shape. It's so real.'"

How Well Do You See Yourself?

How well do you see yourself? If you’re like most people, you probably have a few blind spots. I’ll bet you can list most of your negative traits pretty quickly. There are probably a couple of negative traits that you don’t want to admit to, however. When it comes to listing your positive traits, you will probably miss more than a few.

The Essence of Connection

I finally saw the movie Avatar this week. I don’t usually watch movies with epic battle scenes and aliens, but when my yoga teacher highly recommended it, it piqued my curiosity. Briefly, the movie centers around a humanoid culture called the Na’vi, and it’s set in 2154. The Na’vi are a close knit community who live deeply in tune with all of nature’s creations. Their way of life is being threatened by the money hungry humans who have found a deposit of some very rare, very expensive rock underneath the enormous tree the Na’vi call home. The standard greeting for the Na’vi is “Oel ngati kameie.” It means “I see you.” But it means much more than “I see you with my eyes.” It means something deeper: I understand your soul.

Playing With the Big Boys

Playing With the Big Boys

Since Massachusetts blew the senatorial election to replace Ted Kennedy, I'm going to do what lots of folks do to avoid reality: focus on Hollywood. I shall now turn my attention to the next important "race" in America, which is the Oscar race. In this contest, I support only one candidate and would like to announce my endorsement by offering the following campaign slogan: Kathryn Bigelow rocks. If you don't know who she is, I dare you to watch The Hurt Locker and walk out of the movie theater without having your mind blown.  Hollywood's got Nora Ephron and Nancy Meyers leading a tiny pack of female film directors, but these dames only churn out girly schlock about parenting, shopping and going gaga for guys. Kathryn Bigelow is a different animal.

Avatar In 3-D: Not A Great Date Movie

Avatar's 3-D fanciness is making some viewers nauseous.

As much as we enjoyed Avatar, James Cameron's 3-D masterpiece, we can't in good faith recommend it as a go-to date movie. Why? Because it's making people sick.
