NICK JONAS TRAILER FOR
'CAREFUL WHAT YOU WISH FOR'
In the video department today you can check out the trailer for hot thriller CAREFUL WHAT YOU WISH FOR starring currently the hottest guy around Nick Jonas (who has just admitted to dating Lily Collins) together with Dermot Mulroney and Isabel Lucas. Jonas plays Doug, a college bound kid spending the summer working in a wealthy vacation community who begins an affair with the beautiful young wife of his powerful investment banker neighbour. But when the town erupts after a suspicious death, the young lovers become embroiled in scandal that forces Doug to his limits as he battles deceit and betrayal. 
Delilah Dirk sounds like it could be a lot of fun.
ReplyDeletetotally, I mean she has a flying ship!
DeleteNick Jonas is just one of those guys that gets under my skin and I don't know why. There's nothing wrong with him, I just don't like him.
ReplyDeleteyes, you just want him on your skin :) I think it's his unassuming, calm and yet exquisitely hot nature and also the fact he seems to be polite and nice like Shawn Mendes, and totally unlike that painfully dumb prick Bieber :) Oh, wait, I just realised you have the opposite opinion :) I thought get under one's skin was positive :)
DeleteNaw, I think it's just his singing. I always change the station when he's on the radio. Grates my nerves like a lot of those teeny boppers. Selena Gomez gets changed every time too.
DeleteI agree about Bieber. Wish his 5 minutes of fame was over already. Spoiled little twat he truly is.
I only like his two songs CLOSE and CHAINS especially the part when he goes CHCHCHCCHCHCHAIIIIINS :)
DeleteAlways be careful what you ask for....as you just might get it. Which seems to what has gone wrong for Doug in this film. The trailer looks like a mixture of scary and sexy so it should do well.
ReplyDeleteIt may be quiet around here this weekend as it is the Memorial Day holiday. People in my neighbourhood started getting drunk today so as to get an early start in their festivities. Oh my, the amount of police sirens that were going round today was epic. It's a zoo around here darling and all the animals has gone mad.
I don't go with the Hubby on this one as somebody must sit the house to keep from being robbed. Truly, it's insane. I shall sit on the porch with my neighbour and watch the show. Last year the bloke cross the street was so drunk he fell down and cracked his head open on the cement. We called an ambulance and the police came as well. We're taking bets on how long it will take before the first drunk person on the street hurts themselves. God Bless America!
Yes, I remember I ask for tons of job, even if I would be unable to breathe, just give me job - and I got it exactly that way and now me is going to die from exhaustion :)
DeleteYou know I had the case last year of some of our American readers actually wishing me a happy Memorial Day and I was like SWEET BEJESUS, FORGIVE THE IGNORANT ONES THEY WILL ROT IN HELL ONE DAY ANYWAY :) Imagine the creepiness of wishing a happy Memorial Day to someone who was bombed by them ebil US soldiers...
Oh, hell, can't Fang guard the house? Or your countless menagerie of pups? :)
I know, you did. There was a stretch there where you had very few books to translate. It's either feast or famine it seems. But think of how you can treat yourself with extra cash and that will wake you up.
DeleteDahlink, most of them aren't even aware they bombed your country as they have bombed so many peoples. It must be ever so hard to keep track of all that killing. The future son in law is Native American and these idiots say "Happy Thanksgiving" to him. And they ask him "What are you doing for Thanksgiving." He's so polite, he just says nothing. If it were me I would say "I'm spending the day trying to forget how you feckers killed my people and stole our land."
Not very few but none for a year and a half :( I call it my HUNGRY YEAR, I literally lived on my savings. Which is why I cannot spend monies even when I have them because I always remember the hunger years and the poverty and have to save save save until I die.... It is a vicious cycle, really.....
Delete'tis true, they probably can't even remember whom they have bombed since they bombed pretty much everyone.. even themselves in 9/11....
How are Jasmine and the son in law doing? All well in that love story? Hope your son is well too, haven't heard of him for a long time.
I didn't know Nick Jonas acted. A female Indiana Jones sounds wonderful.
ReplyDeletewell, the Jonases appeared first as the actors in JONAS BROTHERS series at Disney, remember? :)
DeleteWonderful news Dez! Delilah looks like a winner - is there a "windsailpunk" subgenre...? ;) Bet Tom Jones did the OST. Cheers!
ReplyDeleteI know there's that lovely epic novel about AERONAUTS in which they have whole fleets of flying galleys and ships :)
DeleteHe wants to act now?
ReplyDeleteoh, Adam, he started as an actor, remember? Disney's series JONAS BROTHERS or what was it called? He is like Miley and Demi, started with Disney
DeleteA woman with a flying ship? I want a ticket! ;-)
ReplyDeleteGreetings
Peter
isn't it exciting?
DeleteI wish we were healthy.
ReplyDeletenot in this lifetime ... I don't ever remember being healthy .. we should banish that word
