Matthew McConaughey is well known for having curly blonde hair, blue eyes and a magnificent tan………..oh and for being an actor. He’s played some pretty provacative roles in his career like Denton Van Zan in Reign Of Fire and the well known role of David Wooderson from Dazed and Confused. You are more apt to see him in romantic-comedies these days then anything else, but his charm is undeniable and charisma burns through the screen. He’s the kind of actor that can make tragic missteps in his career and people are still going to like him regardless. So for that tan shirtless photo opt he is so well known for, August belongs to Matthew McConaughey.

I like McConaughey. He’s a likeable charming kind of guy that doesn’t put men off and I guess is eye candy for women, but his body of work is weak. It’s not like he’s done a serious of successful romantic comedies like Tom Hanks or Sandra Bullock. All of his have been miserable failures that again even J-Lo’s lady lumps couldn’t save……a theme tonight?
When Matthew McConaughey shows up in a movie I’m watching, I only expect two things: 1) He takes his shirt off and 2) He doesn’t talk. If he breaks one of these rules, particularly the second one, the movie will be terrible.
