The Talent Show: Amber Heard
Oh come on, you KNEW it had to be Amber Heard this week, right? The blond bombshell has been my numero uno draft pick since she had a small role in Alpha Dog, and she's only grown in my eyes ever since. And even though she's smokin' hot and those eyes are absolutely killer, she's also excelled in a number of diverse roles that I consider personal favorites, showing her dramatic skills in The Joneses and her ability to kick ass in Drive Angry.Even when the movies aren't so good, like The Informers (urrggghhh) or The Rum Diary (ugghhh), Heard makes you wish the director would forget everything else and just keep the camera on her.
But the real reason Heard just had to be in the spotlight is her starring role as the sexy pageant queen Miss San Antonio in Robert Rodriguez's Machete Kills, a film that has so many beauties it could drive The Talent Show for a calendar year. Plus, this week sees the long-awaited release of Heard's first breakout role in Jonathan Levine's horror All the Boys Love Mandy Lane. The only way she could be more perfect is she played a superhero in some Marvel movie, maybe as The Wasp or Ms. Marvel? Hey Marvel, get on that STAT!
