Bill Clinton has the ‘hots’ for anything in a skirt. That’s why Hillary always wears pant suits.

Helen Mirren has done acting roles in her younger days that most many other well-known actresses would NEVER come close do doing, like doing a full-frontal nude scene in Savage Messiah. But yet, she has matured into a superb actress, with her Oscar win for The Queen being extremely well-deserved.

Steve Carell ought to be pretty good as Maxwell Smart.

I heart Anne Hathaway.

Anne Hathaway looks great. Saoirse Ronan, whoever she is, looks like a consumptive minor character in a Barbara Cartland romance.
