The Title says it all. Who could resist this charmer with his intense blue eyes and magnetic glance? I swear, every time he speaks I feel like his lips are swooning me; his voice like hot chocolate for my ears. I am in a deep trance. I haven't even discussed his acting talent yet.
Let's face it. James McAvoy is not your typical leading man. He is not tall nor dark but he is most definitely handsome. You can't have everything, can you? But superficial things aside, he is a true gem. A gem with flaws and imperfections yet this is what makes him irresistible. He is the unconventional and modern-day, dashing prince charming.
Here are some of his films that I have seen:
Rory O'Shea Was Here
Here he plays a very disabled person who is paralyzed from neck down. He decides to move in with another disabled that no one else understands other than him. Together they for a bond and experience independence, love and heartache. This is the first movie I saw James in. His character is very bitter but I thought that he was charismatic at the same time. I just hated his blonde hair.
Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe
Here he plays Mr. Tumnus who is half human and half goat. He dangerously befriends Lucy and is soon caught up with the unite witch's wrath. Again, I thought that he is very charismatic even though he almost betrayed Lucy. He really plays awkward character well that even though his part was of a cowardly goat he acted very endearing and lovable.
Penelope
Here he plays Johnny Martin a very addicted gambler who was hired to pretend to woo Penelope only to get a close-up picture of the pig-faced girl. He plays a very un-dashing prince charming but you can't help but fall inlove with him. He is tough and scruffy on hte outside but deep inside, he is a sweet and sincere guy. His hair looks hat too.
Starter for 10
Here he plays a very intellignet college freshmen who joins an intelectual club who joins a hameshow. Like his earlier awkward characters this one tops it all. He just experiences problem after problem thinking that he still is doing the right thing. What he is actually looking for is right under his nose. You can't help but cheer for him in this movie.
Becoming Jane
Here he plays the rumored-lover of Jane Austen who became her greatest inspiration. Tom Lefroy is a playboy who worked to open up Jane Austen's sensual and romantic side. With him she experience "what's out there," love and heartache which always goes hand in hand. James plays a different character. One that is not at all awkward but is very sure of himself. Here he combines his dashing good looks and acting prowess to result in one of my favorite characters in movies.
Atonement
Here he plays mentally-tortured man who is caught up in a love so perfect, it was forbidden. His search for love along with the woman he loves is treacherous with a force tearing them apart. They "deserve" a happy ending together. This is truly his best performance to date. The intense gaze he projects from his eyes and the pasionate tone of his voice is truly magnetizing, it's hard to take your eyes off him. So hands down best performance to last the next 50 years.
Wanted
Here he plays a son of a murdered assassin and is hired and brutally trained to become part of an elite team of assassins. Here he tries to uncover a conspiracy with the help of a sexy assassin. Honestly, I was dissapointed with this movie after all that hype about the movie. I thought that he deserved a better movie.
So, movies I still need to watch with James McAvoy?
1. Bollywood Queen
2. Bright Young Things
3. Last King of Scotland
There you go. I am seriously on high right now... You have no idea. Will you maryr me, James? I must be crazy. Well, it's free to dream, right?
XOXO Yana
