Sami CattP.S: I love you, Gerard

I know I'm a bit late on this one, but I finally watched Tomb Raider: The Cradle of Life the other night. There may be several questions zooming through your mind about now. Like, why would I watch it at all? Or even, what movie? I know. But who doesn't appreciate a bit of mindless popcorn entertainment once in a while? Exactly.
Look, I think Angie was totally the right choice for Lara Croft. Looks-wise at least. The accent, well, maybe a bit too snippy. I'm not even 100 per cent sure I like Angie's acting at the best of times. But, like, who cares when you can look so amazingly fabbo on a motorbike (see above) and various other assorted vehicles? And when you can pout and look hot like no other? When you are so drop dead gorgeous that people would watch you flipping through a phone book? It even lets Angie get away with droll interview after droll interview (You love being a mother of ten? Really? And you've landed yourself a great guy who happens to be a Hollywood superstar? Get. Out.)
Anyway. On to something more inportant than the ass-kicking Angie. The really pleasant surprise about Tomb Raider was that Gerard Butler was in it too! And he plays a deliciously complex (oh, work with me here) love interest for Angie.
I was positively chuffed. Well, at least until I remembered that, while Gerard is a total dish (P.S. I Love You anyone?), he's not necessarily a great actor (or even a good one for that matter). He always seems like he's out of breath. And English doesn't always appear to be his first language. Just sayin'.
Be still my heart, Gerard. You definitely have something going for you. But a spin at an acting academy would do you no harm about now. And to show you that I come in peace, I won't bring up that nasty singing episode (which we won't call The Phantom of the Opera), and I won't make any comparisons to cats being strangled in the night. Not. A. Word.
Angie looks good on any type of moving vehicle

This will definitely get me a gig on Inside the Actor's Studio
