SPOTLIGHT: The Eye Smear

Eye makeup is a crucial part of Hollywood magic whether you're starring in Sex and the City or Captain America but lately, if you haven't noticed, Hollywood and Television have taken eye makeup to a whole new level, a messier level. Let's call it, The Eye Smear, dun-dun-dun!

It dramatic, mysterious and shall we even say, sexy? It's been a part of our film industry since the beginning. When film just began, makeup artists would use the dramatic eye effect due to the quality of film and who are we kidding, for drama. As film became more refined, so did the look.

The messy look that we're more familiar with initially became prominent with rock stars. Kiss, probably the most popular rock band to play with dramatic eye makeup made it more of a cliche, unfortunately, after the rock star era faded. However, rock musicians continued to play with eye shadow in a non-traditional way like Keith Richards, Marilyn Manson, Rob Zombie and Steven Tyler, to name a few.

In the early 2000's Johnny Depp's Jack Sparrow brought the messy look back and made it popular with his portrayal of Sparrow in the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise. Depp used Keith Richards as one of his inspirations for the character and his look while he, himself, made the character a modern day rock star. Hollywood caught on.

Although not every film stars a character with the smeared effect, it's pretty clear, more and more films/shows are designing their characters to sport them. Khal Drogo, played by Jason Momoa, dawned the eye makeup in Game of Thrones. Perhaps the look was to establish the character's culture and barbarian lifestyle, however, not every barbarian adopted the look. Drogo went on to become a fan favorite. Was this going to be a trend or was it just coincidence that the following characters would also smear the shadow and become fan favorites?

Sebastian Stan grabbed some Maybelline (I actually don't know what brand it was) as Bucky in Captain America: Winter Soldier. Alycia Debnam- Carey grabbed her war paint as Lexa in The 100 and recently, Monroe Hayden smeared her eye shadow as Fox in Fox. Even Stephen Amell took it on as Oliver Queen in Arrow before upgrading to a mask.

Most would associate the dramatic look with villains but as you can see, not many villains are actually sporting it. Most of the characters, however, do tread the line between good and evil with Drogo seeming like a bad guy in the beginning but eventually earning the trust and love of Daenerys Targaryen. Bucky being brain washed to follow evil orders but actually being a good guy that Captain America, himself, stands by. Lexa, appearing to be the enemy of Clark and her "tribe" but becoming the love of her life. And Fox, lying to Mina and Xander, making her appear to be the evil manipulator only to reveal she did it all for love. Maybe the look signifies that. With just a wet cloth, their darkness could be wiped. Even Oliver Queen has a dark past.

The look has underlined their characters onscreen appearance and has made fangirls go wild. Perhaps we'll see more characters dawn the look in the near future?

GOTHAM: Here's Your New Poison Ivy!

Oh man! This season is going to drive me nuts!

“Following an encounter with a monster from Indian Hill, Ivy Pepper finds herself reborn, and one step closer to the DC villain she is destined to become: Poison Ivy. Now a 19-year-old woman who’s harnessed the full power of her charms, she sets her sights on Bruce Wayne.”

 So let's give  a warm welcome to Maggie Geha who has taken on the role that brings one of our favorite Batman girls to life. Poison Ivy, everyone. Poison Ivy!

Suicide Squad: Worth A Trip to the Theater? Or Worth A Red Box?

A puzzlingly confused undertaking that never becomes as cool as it thinks it is, Suicide Squad assembles an all-star team of supervillains and then doesn’t know what to do with them. - The Hollywood Reporter

As with Batman V. Superman, critics and fans were highly disappointed with the result of Suicide Squad, however, I am one of the few who actually enjoyed BVS. Sure, it was messy and long and had flaws (like any movie) I still connected to it and still enjoyed it. Although I have yet to see Suicide Squad, I will in a few hours, I believe that people should still go out to see a movie to judge it. Critics are tired of super heroes and fans have gotten super hero films for so long now, they (we) feel entitled to Oscar worthy performances, visual effects, music and story.

If you were expecting a review, sorry. I won't give my opinion in the attempt to brainwash you into thinking what I believe is right. Form your own opinion. It's ok not to genuinely like the film but remember, it's also ok to like it if you do.
