The Talent Show: Chris Evans

OK, I know. It's very easy to talk about how hot Chris Evans is when the pinnacle of his career, playing Captain America in The First Avenger, The Avengers, Thor: The Dark World, and tomorrow's The Winter Soldier, has been playing a justice-obsessed patriot who happens to be, you know, exceedingly hot. Maybe I'm taking shortcuts here by pointing out how hot this guy is, when we all know how hot he is, because Captain America is hot, and therefore of course Chris Evans should be, too. But, guys ... he's so hot.

The reality is this: I really, really liked The First Avenger - it's my favorite of the Phase 1 Marvel movies - and I think Captain America's cameo in Thor 2, as impersonated by Loki to Thor, was very funny indeed. Am I somewhat bummed that Evans seems burnt-out from the Captain America thing, talking openly about how he plans to transition into directing? And did this story from Vulture about how sad Evans seems since getting famous depress me? Of course.

But that's why I'm more than willing to give Chris Evans a hug. MANY HUGS. Just look at these pictures below and tell me you wouldn't give him a hug. Bearded or not ... hugs.

Oh, and see The Winter Soldier tomorrow. It's good, we swear! And have you heard Chris Evans is hot in it? I've heard that once or twice.

The Talent Show: Jake Gyllenhaal


There are several words that come to mind when I think of Jake Gyllenhaal. Talented, sexy, charming, and a versatile actor are just some of them. He flies under the radar a lot of the time and does different, abstract, and varying roles that make him one of the best actors working today. And who are we kidding here? He's also sexy as hell, with the ability to pull off boyish charm and manly ruggedness, which is no easy feat. 

We've seen Gyllenhaal grow up as an actor, from the days of Donnie Darko and October Sky to more mature roles in End of Watch, Brokeback Mountain, Prisoners, and The Day After Tomorrow, just to name a few. He'll continue to make good movies, and you can see his second film, Enemy, with director Denis Villeneuve, but for now, let's just enjoy Gyllenhaal in all his sexy glory.

The Talent Show: Taylor Kitsch


Here's the thing about Taylor Kitsch: He deserves better than the career he has right now. Yes, he had a few major flops in 2012 with John Carter, Battleship, and Savages. But be real: Were any of those his fault? I say no. I would blame an unnecessarily huge budget for John Carter, a silly premise for Battleship, and Blake Lively's goddamn awfulness for Savages. Otherwise, Kitsch did a pretty solid acting job in all those films, and he's just as good in Lone Survivor - opening tomorrow - even if the movie itself does have some problematic over-the-top patriotism.

But I'll let those career missteps slide not only because Kitsch has a good 2014 lined up (for example, he's going against type in Ryan Murphy's HBO project The Normal Heart, playing a closeted gay man during the AIDS epidemic) but also, let's just be honest: I can get down with Taylor Kitsch. HAVE YOU SEEN HIM? The body and face and hair of Tim Riggins (goddammit, just watch Friday Night Lights already!) are not to be ignored.

In this week's The Talent Show, let me show you all the ways Taylor Kitsch deserves your love and affection. And your lust, obviously. Lots of lust.

First off, that smirk. HAVE YOU EVER SEEN A MORE HANDSOME SMIRK?


Oh look, he can write! He's literate! You two can join a book club together! 


He wears hooded sweatshirts? He'd let you borrow it in the cold weather? That's nice. 


So he experiments a little bit with eyeliner. Whatever. HOW COULD YOU DENY THAT FACE ANYTHING? 


Um, he works out. Like, a lot. Look at those arms! 


Look at those nipples! 


Look at his arms AND his nipples together! 


What more do you want from life? Nothing. Taylor Kitsch has it all. INTO IT.

The Talent Show: Leonardo DiCaprio


I remember watching Leonardo DiCaprio on Growing Pains and thinking he made the show much more interesting after years on the air. The man's always been a fantastic actor. Of course, a lot of people though he might just fade into the background after he became a household name in Titanic, but his movie roles after that in Gangs of New York, Catch Me if You Can, and The Departed all proved that Leo was here to stay. What else did it prove? That he was damn good at what he does. 

And on Christmas Day, Leo will amaze audiences again as he stars in his millionth Martin Scorsese film called The Wolf of Wall Street. This time around, we'll get to see Leo dance, act insane, and of course, yell at least once. Because what's a movie without a shouting Leo DiCaprio, right? But alas, this wouldn't be a talent show article if I didn't also highlight and appreciate Leo's good looks along with his acting. Because one thing is pretty clear: the man most definitely looks great in black and white photos!

The Hottest Leading Ladies of 2013



When the guys and gals of Punch Drunk Critics are sitting around the fictional water cooler (where our Rocky Hadadi always forgets to buy paper cups), our chats often turn to how hot this actress is, or how hot this actor was in some random movie. It's what we do, and I'd be lying if I said a good chunk of our readership wasn't folks coming to check out whatever hot pics we put up every chance we get. But now we're at the end of the year, my favorite time of year as a movie geek, and while the coming days will be filled with lists of our top films (like my best overlooked movies of 2013), it's also a good time to reflect on the sexiest leading ladies.

To that end, this list isn't just who was hottest in general. These are the leading ladies who really got my engine revving in a starring role. If I didn't do that then my list would be topped by Ali Larter every single year, but she didn't do jack sh*t in 2013 so she ain't here. But is Cameron Diaz for The Counselor? Yeah, definitely. Would she ever be one of my top draft picks normally? Hell no.

Some are smokin', some are quirky, some are a little dangerous, but these are my picks for the sexiest leading ladies of 2013. Enjoy! (Note: Meagan Good would have made this list for Anchorman 2 but there are no good photos! Come on, man! She had Ron Burgundy actin' a fool! More than usual.)

Gemma Arterton- Byzantium 


Vanessa Hudgens and Ashley Benson- Spring Breakers


Rosario Dawson- Trance


Juno Temple- The Brass Teapot


Adrianne Palick- G.I. Joe: Retaliation

Greta Gerwig- Frances Ha


Gwyneth Paltrow- Iron Man 3
