I Love George Clooney

Well how can you not, right? A blind person could see that he is handsome, suave and debonair. But that's not why I love him. Like any actor he's made his share of naff movies, but he is a very talented and versatile actor with great screen presence. But that's not why I love him, either.

I love George Clooney because he is intelligent, dignified and humble. The guy is smart, rich, successfull and lusted over. Yet, he just doesn't appear to take himself too seriously. Oh, and he has got involved with, backed financially and starred in some top, top films recently. That's why I love George Clooney.

He makes the type of films I love to watch. Okay Ocean's Thirteen was awful. So bad that, while Ocean's Twelve was bearable, it partly tarnished the memory of Ocean's Eleven, which was a great film for sheer slick, classy entertainment. But films like Good Night, and Good Luck and Syriana are the sort of films that get my juices flowing. I could watch them like others watch soaps, or in real time like a 24 hour 'reality' tv show.

I haven't seen his 2006 film The Good German, although I'd like to. But last night I went to see the most recent George Clooney film that I know about, Michael Clayton. I loved it. Everything about it. The characters, the story, the script, the dialogue, the action, the acting, the directing, the music, the whole production. I'd go as far as to say it is the best film I have ever seen. It has everything I've ever wanted to see in a film.

I want to go and see it again, I'd go tonight if it were possible. Man, I just love George Clooney.
