Manu certainly has the "broody" look that is Allanon's trademark. Oh, how I love that horse shot of Manu. Very nice morning wake up Dezzy :)
ReplyDeleteI knew miladies would like the rider of the horse :) I shall have another dashing horseman here this weekend, stay tuned :)
DeleteKate Winslet as always is brilliant at whatever role she is in so this movie is definitely a must for me. I was just watching 2 old film of hers the other day, Little Children and The Reader, big contrasts to this.
ReplyDeleteThose two are my fave movies of hers! And both are also on my top 20 best films ever list :)
DeleteI'd watch Alan Rickman in anything.
ReplyDeleteThen it will be a treat for you :) The cast is quite lovely!
Delete"Save a horse, ride a cowboy" - a very popular country song, I find appropriate for your gift of the stallion!
ReplyDeleteRickman carries me far away with that voice(sigh). It's going to be a naughty film! Promise, Dezzy?!!!
You can't help but wonder who was feeling more weird, the rider or the horse up in that pic :)
DeleteDon't think it will be naughty, more of a drama, not even comedy. They're ever so serious in the trailer.
I returned for another peek at the lovely white horse, a-hem... and you've posted a song, sung by Kate Winslet! What a lovely voice and song.Thank you - I enjoyed that!
Deleteisn't she as stunning as a singer as she is as an actress? Some actors really have amazing voices and I'd love to see them recording an album, from Kate to Ewan McGregor, Luke Evans and Catherine Zeta Jones (who had a single before she started acting career) :)
DeleteAbsolutely!! Was it, "All That Jazz," that Zeta danced & sang in? (Gangster movie.) She was great!
Deleteno, not CHICAGO part, she really had a music single before she started acting. She started as a singer in UK, and the song is actually quite nice given it's from twenty years ago: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oJHsGfM-4eg
DeleteLITTLE CHAOS looks absolutely spectacular. Love Kate Winslet and Alan Rickman - who will always be Severus Snape to me :)
ReplyDeleteI'm so happy that Kate is currently having a year of such warm and fun little films such as LITTLE CHAOS and DRESSMAKER
DeleteI love Manu, but in the Hobbit movies he is CGI.
ReplyDeleteThat horse is very distracting. ;-)
I thought he was wearing a huge mask in HOBBIT... it is still him :)
DeleteAnd so many expressions come upon ones mind about horse when you see that photo :)
WHOA! Naked guy on a horse. I don't think I saw anything after that!
ReplyDeletebe welcome :)
DeleteNow that's an interesting shot of manu... (giggle)
ReplyDeletesure is!
DeleteThat photo really lives up to his name… Man-oooohhh. LOL. :D
ReplyDeletewell noticed :)
DeleteOk, I am probably in the minority here, but no. No naked men on horses. It just isn't sexy. I have no problem with naked ladies on them, but men? No :P
ReplyDeletemaybe a naked man on a motorbike for you?
DeleteNo. Only in my bed ;)
Deletewell that doesn't leave many options to Jason :)
DeleteI love Kate.
ReplyDeleteWow, didn't expect that horse shot. I love the first pic. Manu is handsome.
Kate is the queen!
DeletePoor horse... It'd just taken a proper bath....
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't really mind
DeleteHahaha! Naughty as ever...
