My Weekend Crush

It’s in the eyes. Eva Green’s eyes are everything. They’re huge, but not in that doe-eyed way of ingénues. Instead they pierce through everything with their unblinking blue. They smolder, like Eva smolders, on screen – just daring you to look away. But, of course, you can’t. Eva has been fascinating us for years now. First as a “Dreamer” then as a Bond girl, as Miss G and a lady of “Camelot.” But now, as the mysterious Vanessa Ives, it is downright dangerous to ignore her. Eva is spectacular in “Penny Dreadful.” I’ve raved about the show already (gothic horror creeptasticness). But Eva deserves even more as Miss Ives. Enigmatic, haunted, powerful – everything she is flashes through her eyes. Combine that with the magnificent architecture of her face and, well, you have a woman to be reckoned with. Hell, she might even be “A Dame to Kill For.” Happy weekend, all.
