THOR...studly Chris Hemsworth stars! Jay Leno audience squeals with delight!

 
Tomorrow, when THOR is released across the country, I expect that Chris Hemsworth's star will soar into the stratosphere!





And - If the reaction the actor received Jay Leno 's audience last night is any indication, the studly actor is bound to become the hunk flavor of the month, too!

When Jay dragged out an old clip of the star performing on Australia's version of the entertainment show - Dancing with the Stars - female fans erupted into wild impromptu squeals of delight.

Uh-huh!

When the Aussie shook his tight little butt for the camera - in revealing skin tight slacks (you could have seen a pimple on his ass as plain as day) - it was evident that he was going to give Ricky Martin (appearing in Concert on May 7th) a run for his money!

Personally, I loved his classy distinctive accent when he chatted up Jay on the hot seat.

But, can he act?

When you look that good, who cares!

Needless to say, it is worth noting that Mr. Hemsworth is trained actor, who does not necessarily rely on his looks to propel his career forward in fickle Hollywood.

In fact, his resume boasts that he actually studied the performoing Arts at the  "American Dialect at Screenwise Film & TV School for Actors" in Sydney Australia.

Currently, he is lensing "The Avengers".

Past credits are nothing to sniff at and include Star Trek and the Perfect Getaway.

Thor should be his break into more commercial spot-light-grabbing starring featured roles if he plays his cards right!

In a nutshell, Thor is an action adventure flick about a powerful arrogant warrior, who is cast out of the fantastic realm of Asgard and sent to live amongst humans on Earth (God forbid!) where he soon becomes one of their fiercest defenders.

Hooked already, how 'bout you?

Chances are the the big-budget fantasy venture will be fairly entertaining with a loft of delicious visuals since Director Kenneth Branagh was at the helm of this much-anticipated project.

The project is also boosted up by that fact is was written by Ashley Miller and Zack Stentz.

Of course, if you've been tuning in to the late-night talk0-show circuit, you're keenly aware of the fact the film also stars Academy-Award-Winning actors Anthony Hopkins and Natalie Portman (fresh off of the Oscar-winning project Black Swan).

Undoubtedly, once the flick splashes across the wide-screen at Theatres tomorrow, ticket-holders and film buffs alike will be swept up and enthralled as the action unfolds from the get-go.

See 'ya there!

Beowulf...airbrushed butts and chiselled abs. Adult humor!

Generally, I am not inclined to take in big budget full-length animated features. After three invites to attend a preview of Beowulf over the past few weeks, I finally succumbed.

Essentially, the story is a mythical tale about a King and his subjects in a far-away land, plagued by a monster that terrorizes their quaint mountain village. Beowulf sails into harbor all brawn and guts to purge the tiny Kingdom of the menace because it is his want to do so.

After the beast is destroyed, the mother - a seductress with great mystical powers - tempts the mighty hero with gifts of everlasting life; before any filmgoer in the theatre can whisper - "sold his soul to the devil" - a pact is struck between the two and kept secret from the proud villagers who hail him as a conquering Hero!

The moment the King (played by Anthony Hopkins) lumbers onto the silver screen, the filmmakers hold the audience in their thrall by virtue of the stunning special effects conjured up by the state-of-the art CG imagery.

The concept of live action reference footage providing the skeleton upon which animators build the characters performance is nothing new, according to animation historian Leonard Maltin.

"The first real motion caption occurred when Dave Fleischer put on a clown suit and his brother Max traced his movements one frame at a time in 1915. They patented the device that enabled them to do this and call it rotoscope."

Many of the scenes are hilarious. For example, when the slovenly Monarch slips off his throne to strut and stroke his subjects with thoughtful musings, filmgoers snicker at the smartly theatrical articulated gestures - and wildly chortle- as they witness rolls of fat rise and fall at his waist or catch sight of his whimsical features contorting in odd intriguing ways. In fact, at times the actor's face appears to poke through the exterior features in a liquid jello of sorts.

"The data that drives the face looks like a flapping puppet," the animator notes, "it won't record volume, meaning if the actor squints or purses his lips, it tells you when they did it, but it won't tell you how much they actually moved."

In contrast, the bodies are carved out to perfection depending on plotline twists.

For instance, when Beowulf announces his intention to tackle the task of downing the monster, he notes he'll undertake the challenge naked. After all, the demon has no clothes on, either.

In a flash, he strips off his outer garments at the torso to reveal a buffed bod with fabulous pecs and chiseled abs. Then, in a cat 'n mouse moment, he teasingly half-turns and slips off his trousers to reveal a tight attractive butt which appears to have been "airbrushed" to perfection.

Heh, I yearn for an a** that looks like that!

But, Beowulf's precious manhood remains out of view.

In fact, the filmmakers taunt the filmgoers on occasion.

For instance, after a lout hurls a sword and the razor-sharp tip lands upright in a sturdy oak table - Beowulf strides towards it - the blade subliminally-suggesting the width and breadth of the warrior's steely-hard ****. The audience roars!

In another scene there is a gasp from the audience when Angelina Jolie's character sensually rises up from a calm pool of water to reveal full luscious breasts and an awesome breathtaking nubile frame.

In fact, Ms. Jolie remarked to the press on the heels of the sensation she caused, "I had no idea the imagery would be so real."

Essentially, the film is a piece of eye-catching fluff.

But, there are a couple of morals to the intriguing tale, nonetheless.

For one, a stiff d*** has no conscience.

Two, myths are made of just that, myth...
