The Art of Seduction
- Title: Chuck – Chuck Vs. the Seduction Impossible
- tv.com: link
This week’s Chuck was all about seduction. Super-spy Roan Montgomery (John Larroquette) is caught while trying to seduce his way into a female terrorist’s (Lesley-Ann Brandt) camp, although his charms start to pay off…at least until the rescue team botches the mission, again. Roan’s seduction techniques work even less well for Casey (Adam Baldwin) who tries to seduce a guard and ends up having to use explosives instead. And Chuck (Zachary Levi) and Sarah (Yvonne Strahovski) have their own battle of seduction (hers involves a belly dancer costume, which you can see in the clip) as the fight over their impending wedding. Good times all around.

My First Wedding is a study in contradictions. It’s a story of a shameless guy who pretends to be a priest to get a girl into bed, and it’s a sweet love story. It has a manic comedic energy but delivers some quiet truths about fears, relationships, and love. It’s a look at how we want the people we love to be honest with us, though not all lies are bad, and how all of us just want someone who loves us so completely they would be willing to do anything, no matter how outrageous, to win out hearts.
I honestly think Marvel and DC are in a race right now to come up with multiple insignificant versions of the same character. At this point I’m not sure if DC’s got more Flashes or if Marvel has more Hulks.
Imagine Me & You is an interesting film. It’s a love story without almost any heat or sex. Instead it focuses on the romantic and emotional type of love. Can a film like this work? Well, kinda’. Rated R because of the subject of lesbian romance, the film probably should have earned a PG rating as it’s good fun for the whole (liberal) family.
