Henry Cavill does Dunhill Black

Imagine a fragrance... a fantastic scented fragrance that allows you to smell as great as one of the most handsome British male actors to grace the small screen. A scent so strong, perhaps it might even improve your chances on picking up an admirer (or two) as you ride along in your $100,000 Maserati ... Have I gotten your attention?

No?... well, err confused... Dunhill Black of course hopes to succeed where I've apparently failed... and something tells me they've got the right idea with this one cool...

Introducing the newly released fragrance Dunhill Black. Presented of course by none other than one of the most beautiful actors alive. The strikingly handsome Henry Cavill.
Truth be told, I've never actually physically smelled one of Dunhill's brands of men's fragrances (and if I did I most likely wouldn't have been able to identify it). But I am somewhat curious to find out if this is any good. So far I've seen the scent described as that of an old English gentleman (confused) and 'a clump of nettles' being cleared away... sorry, neither of those really help in providing any tangible references for me...

Still, I might just order a bottle (eventually)... Seems sexy enough cool...
How unfortunate Cavills aren't included with shipping cry... a well, I guess only one more month to go till The Tudors returns. I'll have to wait a little while longer till I get my weekly fix of British perfection.

A Prayer for Bobby

There are decent dramas which make you think, and then there are great dramas which make you feel... I think this particular movie is more of the latter. I honestly can't recall the last time I've seen a movie like Prayers for Bobby. Perhaps one of the saddest stories I've really ever seen portrayed. Mostly on account of the fact that there was in fact a time when I could've totally related to Bobby...
Prayers for Bobby chronicles the tragically short life of Bobby Griffith as he struggles with his sexuality and his attempts to gain acceptance from his ultra-conservative mother. The movie stars Sigourney Weaver as Bobby's mother, and a young 22-year old actor named Ryan Kelly (who btw does an absolutely amazing job as Bobby).
Prayers for Bobby is based off a book (of the same title) written by author Leroy F. Aarons. The movie is currently available on Itunes... but unfortunately not on DVD yet. One comment I have to make about this movie though... I'm not exactly the biggest softy on emotions and I don't think I've really shed a tear since I was 13. This movie had my eyes watered up by the end neutral. Very tragic...
