I Love You Too

I decided I better post this bit of news before I get further inundated with emails.  I admit I was a little slow on the draw with posting this up.

For those who haven’t already heard, Yvonne Strahovski is currently in her homeland of Australia filming a new movie called “I Love You Too.”

Firmly in the romantic comedy genre, the movie follows the exploits of two ‘blokes’ as they attempt to win the love of the women they love (presumably not the same woman).

Other than Yvonne, the movie stars Brendan Cowell, Peter Dinklage, and Megan Gale.

Prinicipal photography started this past Monday and there’s no word yet on the release date or even if it will be distributed outside of the land of Oz.

You can read more about the movie over at Moviehole, where they have a pretty lengthy article on the inception of the film, as well as blurbs from the actors — including Yvonne Strahovski.

If you’d like to follow the latest buzz on the film, I recommend the dedicated thread on our forums.  Our roving band of Strahovski fans get the news faster than I can possibly post it up here.

We’ll you keep you posted as we find out more!

Episode 2.22 Captures

Though it doesn’t quite live up to last week’s Yvonne Strahovski binge, the season finale of Chuck has brought in a respectable 72 new screen captures from Episode 2.22 – Chuck Versus the Ring.

The thing about Robbie McNeill’s directing is that he loves to get close-ups of Yvonne’s face.  Honestly, who wouldn’t?  I appreciate his attention to the details of Ms. Strahovski’s amazing facial expressions.

Though I require that Yvonne be part of every picture, I did try to sneak in a few where she wasn’t the main focus of the picture.  Surely everyone wants to see the aftermath of Chuck’s kung fu spree, or the loving gaze of Awesome and Ellie.

And if you need a soundtrack to your screen capture viewing, be sure to check out our music page where Rob has updated the songs for this latest episode.

Strahovski and Rings

The biggest part of me wants to just randomly throw characters on the screen right now in an expression of excitement.

That, however, would not be the most responsible or professional thing to do, so I’m going to instead review the penultimate, best, most awesome, unbelievable episode of Chuck ever – Chuck Versus the Ring.

There may be some pretty huge spoilers implied, so read at your own risk.

“Thank you for saving my life at least once a week.”

Maybe Chuck didn’t save our lives every week by invading our living rooms with amazing television, but I feel like this quote pretty much sums it up, doesn’t it?

For the last two seasons now we’ve watched the old Chuck.  We’ve watched a premise not unlike the ‘Get Smart’ universe, with a bumbling spy, a shadowy anti-spy organization, and a hot agent 99.

But now we get the new Chuck.  The improved Chuck.  The OMG I can’t believe I just saw that Chuck.  Wow.  I know it’s just touchy feely descriptions, but this episode of Chuck was spectacular.

I didn’t think they could make better episodes than what we’ve seen, but this episode has taken the show to a whole new level.

“You look like a real bridesmaid.”

The one level of disappointment that this episode brings, of course, is the Charah dynamic once again being interrupted about a billion times.  It seems Sarah is never going to be able to express her feelings to Chuck.

If Chuck could read Sarah’s face like we could, he’d know she’s crazy about him.  He needs to take a little Yvonne Strahovski 101 so he can get the message.

With the stuff at the end now, what kind of Chuck are we going to get?  Will he be as lovable to Sarah in the future?  Will he be as lovable to anyone, for that matter?

I don’t know, but Sarah really has rotten luck when trying to get it all out.  Now if Chuck can just figure out how to shut the hell up maybe he’ll get somewhere.

Double A Paper

We usually only get to see Yvonne Strahovski kickin’ butt as Sarah Walker, but a reader has emailed in this awesome video of Yvonne in a paper commercial from Australia.

Looks like she started practicing her action moves long before Chuck and Sarah Walker! They totally need to recreate that scene at the Buy More.

It may just be a paper commercial, but Yvonne Strahovski’s classic facial expressions are well-suited for the ad.

Yvonne’s presence aside, that’s a really clever paper commercial. That’s Super Bowl level laughs in my opinion!

Episode 2.21 Captures

This episode was one of the best of the series, so it’s no wonder that I’ve added a whopping 90 new screen captures to the gallery for Episode 2.21 – Chuck Versus the Colonel.

This episode had it all — action, emotion, and the “Chuck smile.”  It was really a breeze to cap because Yvonne was breathtakingly beautiful in every scene (as she always is).

I especially like the “OMG I can totally date Chuck now” face as they drive away from the air strike myself.  What’s your favorite?

As always, you can also check out the music for Versus the Colonel to listen to all your favorites from the episode!

Enjoy!
