Hello, and welcome to March 2013's Top 20, where I run down my top 20 songs of this month. I've gotten even more and more into rap music so far this year: Kendrick Lamar's Swimming Pools is such a clever look at societies attitude of alcohol today, I just love it! Let's kick off with numbers 20 to 11... 20. Phoenix - Entertainment
I came across Lipstick Jungle on LoveFilm Instant and after seeing it was similar to Sex and the City (it's form the same writer) and that Kim Raver from Grey's Anatomy was one of the leads, I decided to give it ago. And while it took a while to build, and is still completely unrealistic, I can't help but find some girly guilty pleasure in it am now on season 2 (the final season).
Not only does the gorgeous Kim Raver (middle) star, but so does Robert Buckley from One Tree Hill. And so it is rather odd flipping from Grey's, to OTH to Lipstick Jungle as the actors crossover: I often get confused who is who!
Lipstick Jungle will certainly not be everybody's cup of tea but I enjoy the female empowerment message. All three of the women are very successful in their own right and that's a great message to put out there. I also love that Wendy (Left) is an executive producer at a movie studio as that is very similar to the path I want to go down. It's a little bit of my dream on screen and it's so addictive to watch!

IMDb Plot Synopsis: An odd epidemic appears across the globe: people suddenly lose one of their senses. At first, it's an outbreak of loss of smell. It's often presaged by a destructive temper tantrum. In this mix are a scientist and a chef - she's Susan, one of a team trying to understand the epidemic; he's Michael, charming and engaging. Susan and Michael begin a relationship in the middle of increasing chaos, as the loss of other senses plagues more people and as civil authorities try to maintain order. Susan's voice-over reflections provide insight. Is love possible in such a changed world? Can anything make perfect sense?

Plot Synopsis:The Charlestown neighbourhood of Boston is renowned for churning out a high number of armed robbers, generation after generation. Such robbers include friends Doug MacRay (Affleck), James Coughlin (Renner) who treat each other like family since Doug's mother ran off and Doug's father, Stephen MacRay, was sent to prison.
With no real attachments, Doug has never had to fear losing anyone close to him. But that all changed on the gang's latest job, when they briefly took bank manager Claire Keesey (Rebecca Hall) hostage, before releasing her unharmed.
Claire is nervously aware that the robbers know her name... and where she lives. But she lets her guard down when she meets an unassuming and rather charming man named Doug... not realising that he is the same man who only days earlier had terrorised her. The instant attraction between them gradually turns into a passionate romance that threatens to take them both down a dangerous, and potentially deadly, path.
I've really got into Taylor Swift's stuff recently and while I loved Trouble, 22 is one heck of a fun, up-beat song that's been putting a smile on my face! It's just a simple, fun pop song and definitely been a guilty pleasure this week!
