| Shailene Woodley in The Descendants |
Living here in Hawaii, I was really looking forward to the much-praised George Clooney movie The Descendants, the story of a local man named Matt King who must come to terms with his wife’s passing while negotiating a huge land-deal that holds a huge community in balance. and while that film was terrific and gave me everything I hoped it would, the thing that really made the story for me was the interaction he had between his daughters, and in particular, the older daughter Alexandra, played by actress Shailene Woodley.

Shailene Woodley! Holy CRAP, where did this luscious young thing COME FROM? With a Sharp, Sassy and totally SEXY attitude, she came onto the screen like a no-nonsense, loud cussin’ locomotive, talking down to her Dad like SHE was the parent and HE was the kid! The scenes and dialog between Clooney and Woodley are fierce and fiery, and I just loved watching the two of them go at it, Alex breathing sparks as poor Dad Clooney tries to keep up!

With her intense, arching eyebrows and condescending look, she takes control of every scene she’s in like a fresh-faced Rosmund Pike (with just a dash of Julia Roberts for good measure) ready to duke it out like Marcia Brady running for Class President, making her a package too cool to contain!

And besides all of that larger-than-life attitude, Shailene’s rocking’ the sexiest lil body, a wonderful figure that we are treated to many, many grateful times during the course of the movie! When You’ve a got a story with the backdrop of beautiful Hawaii, it only makes sense to have such a hottie running around in as many bkini outfits as possible!
