I’ve watched a whole bunch of Ryan Gosling films recently

and I’m actually pretty impressed with him as an actor.

I have to admit, I never ever gave him a chance when I first came across him. I watched ‘The Notebook’ a long time ago and wasn’t very impressed. Maybe I just wasn’t in the mood when I watched it.

Anyway, I recently watched “Crazy, Stupid, Love”, “Drive”, and “The Ides of March”. The first was a pretty terrible film (it was too cheesy) but Ryan Gosling was actually really good in it. I got a whole bunch of fashion tips that I’m going to incorporate in to my wardrobe when I go back home. I’m going to buy a whole bunch of suits.

The second film was really excellent. There were so many wonderful things about “Drive”. He is about as different as a character can get from anything he’s done before. The character was brutal and really intense. The film was tight and sharp. The music was incredible. You really can’t beat it.

Then I watched “The Ides of March” and I realised why I loved George Clooney as an actor and director. It’s a tale of political idealism and how dreams and illusions can be shattered. The writing is tight and the acting is fantastic all around. Ryan Gosling really carries the movie.

I’ve been really impressed with him as an actor these last few weeks. It’s pretty good going.

(I’m not a teenage girl, I promise!)
