Top 5 Thursday: Movie Couples of 2012

I did a top 5 like this last year, so I'm doing it now. My favorite on screen couples of 2012.

5. Scarlett Johannson and Jeremy Renner (“The Avengers”)
Although technicaly they aren't a couple, but they had amazing chemistry and there is something more going on.

4. Mila Kunis and Mark Wahlberg (“Ted”)
A funny and very sexy couple. Liked them together on screen and they looked believable as well.

3. Emily Blunt and Joseph Gordon-Levitt (“Looper”)
A troubled couple, they both have a lot of issues. Maybe that drawes... But Emily Blunt and Joseph Gordon-Levitt look amazing together.

2. Rachel McAdams and Channing Tatum (“The Vow”)
The cutest and most heartwarming couple on this list. They are on fire!

1. Kristen Stewart and Chris Hemsworth (“Snow White and the Huntsman”)
Before I saw the movie I didn't see it, just because I wasn't a Kristen Stewart fan. But after I saw the movie I was super happy about this duo. And who can not fall for Chris Hemsworth? Exactly...

They almost made the top 5: Jennifer Lawrence and Liam Hemsworth (“The Hunger Games”)Zac Efron and Taylor Schilling (“The Lucky One”) and Michelle Williams and Seth Rogen (“Take This Waltz”).

Check This Out # 2

The second edition of this item. Again I have some great stuff I want to share with you. First this: this weekend I received the special edition of "The Hunger Games". It's a 2-disc special and it also contains five photocards. Really awesome!

You know that show "Inside the Actors Studio"? In the end James Lipton always asks his guest the same questions. This video shows a remix of those questions and the answers the guest gave him. Very funny.

Inside the Actors Studio

"Snow White and the Huntsman" is a great film. The song that "Florence + the Machine" made for this movie is fantastic. Here is the video, with clips of the movie, for the song "Breath of Life".

Breath of Life by Florence + the Machine

I found this picture of gorgeous Jessica Chastain, who is starring in the upcoming movie "Lawless".

The DVD for the superhero movie "The Avengers" will come out soon, but a gag reel has already hit the internet.

"The Avengers" Gag Reel

And a CSI season 12 recap. A good preparation for season 13, starting soon....

CSI Season 12 Recap

A show that starts soon too is "Sons of Anarchy". I saw a lot of promo video's, but this one really spoke to me. It's Tara centric and it looks like she and Gemma aren't getting along next season. Tara rocks this promo.

Favorite Character: Eric, the Huntsman

CSI, Robert, Avengers, 50/50, Anna, Emma, Chris, James and Channing

I've been creative, because I made some nice wallpapers again. I realized I haven't posted any in a while so I have a lot to share with you. The first is from CSI. With Catherine being gone, Morgan Brody is my favorite female character. And Nick is still my male favorite. I decided to make a wallpaper with the two of them.

Then Robert Downey Jr. Needs no explanation.

Some wallpapers for the movie "The Avengers".

And for the film "50/50". Plus one of the actresses Anna Kendrick.

This photoshoot of Emma Stone is so nice, I just needed to make a wallpaper with those pictures.

I loved "Snow White and the Huntsman". And Chris Hemsworth is one of the reasons why I liked it so much. This man is perfect.

And James Franco is beyond perfection.

This wallpaper of Channing Tatum is currently on my desktop. I saw "21 Jump Street" on the plane when I was flying to Uganda. It wasn't a fantastic movie, but I always enjoy watching Channing Tatum. And I really, really, really want to see "Magic Mike" but nobody wants to go with me....

Movie Tip # 52: Snow White and the Huntsman

Director: Rupert Sanders

Starring: Kristen Stewart, Chris Hemsworth, Charlize Theron, Sam Claflin, Sam Spruell, Bob Hoskins, Ian McShane, Ray Winstone, Nick Frost, Duir, Brian Gleeson, Toby Jones, Johnny Harris

Description: Snow White (Kristen Stewart), imprisoned daughter of the late king, escapes just as the Magic Mirror declares her the source of the Evil Queen's immortality. The Queen (Charlize Theron) sends her men, led by a local huntsman (Chris Hemsworth) to bring her back. But upon her capture, the huntsman finds he's being played and turns against the Queens men, saving Snow White in the process. Meanwhile, Snow's childhood friend, William (Sam Claflin), learns that she is alive and sets off to save her.

Review: I'm a sucker for fairytales. Ever since its trailer was released I wanted to see this film. The well known story of Snow White, but not quite the way it was told when we were kids. "Snow White and the Huntsman" is darker, action packed, more violent, not overwhelmed by romance and full of beautiful visual effects. As for the casting, Kristen Stewart got a lot of negative response. I have to say that I was never a fan either, but she had proven that she could act in "Into the Wild". Stewart is stuck to her "Twilight" character, which is sad, because she can definitely act and I really appreciate her more due to this film. Chris Hemsworth is not only very pleasant to watch, he is very charismatic and he was my favorite character in the film. I did like him together with Stewart and probably a lot of people won't agree with me on that. Charlize Theron, one of my personal favorites, had the best role. Casting her for the role of the evil queens was just perfect. Theron was terrifyingly convincing as a villain. Sam Claflins character William was too one-dimensional and there is really no time to get to know or like him. I did love the dwarfs, they were funny and the world they lived in was beautiful. "Snow White and the Huntsman" is a great movie and met my expectations. I heard that this is going to be a series, so I can't wait to see more of it.
