If I could make a man he'd look a lot like you

Right? This dude is Haaz Sleiman and he is jaw-dropping gorgeous. If you don't agree, I challenge you to watch The Visitor, which I saw last night in beautiful downtown Dayton. See him playing drums in his underpants and then get back to me. Beautiful man.
I enjoyed the movie as well. It's about immigration in a post-9/11 world, but on a human scale. It's also a little bit "old man gets his groove back" and Richard Jenkins is fantastic in it. It's the kind of performance I love. So perfect and true and he doesn't act his ass off. Simple. You know?Oh, and besides the well told, non-propaganda-y immigration story, and the groove back story, there's a poignant love story thrown in. Hiam Abbass is magnetic.

The camera loves all over him. It's almost distracting, but in the best possible way.

Mmmmm. I haven't seen or heard of this film, but I have to admit that's a killer smile right there. Nummers.

and he has those bad eyes like a gypsy.....

Stunning is the right word, ur-spo, and as you and Andrew mention, it's a lot about the eyes and smile. It doesn't hurt that his character is incredibly charming in the film.
