She dope but I feel like there have been much flyer desi actresses int he past few years...
I'd say her shortcoming would be her body (or lack thereof) but her face is pretty much perfect to me. She looked insanely good on the daily show last night. Better than I've ever seen her look.

Word, I think i meant curvier actresses. She looks a little frail.
Cesar is amazing and what's rather clever is the fact that you're rooting for him throughout the movie which is essentially rooting for the downfall of human civilization.
Box Office Report: 'Rise of the Planet of the Apes' Scores Big with $54 Mil Opening
The apes have conquered the multiplex.
Fueled by great word of mouth, 20th Century Fox's Rise of the Planet of the Apes opened to $54 million at the domestic box officeג$20 million more than the best forecast.
Rise of the Apes is particularly drawing notice for its photo-realistic apes, which were created by Peter Jacksonגs Weta Digital using advanced performance capture technology. Andy Serkis plays the ape Caesar, and is the movieגs lead character.
Directed by Rupert Wyatt, Rise of the Apes successfully relaunches the cult sci-fi franchise, and is a big win for the filmmakers and Foxגs marketing operation. Heading into the weekend, tracking suggested that the movieגalso starring James Franco, Frida Pinto and John Lithgow--would open to $30 million to $35 million, tops. But the movie received an A- CinemaScore, in addition to garnering rave reviews, and is appealing to all age groups. More women than expected turned out, making up 44 percent of the audience, according to exit polls. The origins pic was down only 2% from Friday to Saturday.
REVIEW: Rise of the Planet of the Apes
Rise of the Apes also is a big win for Peter Chernin and Dylan Clarkגs Chernin Entertainment, since itגs the companyגs first title.
The movie, made for $93 million, was co-financed by Fox, Dune Entertainment and Ingenious.
The weekend's other new offering, Universal's R-rated Ryan Reynolds-Jason Bateman body switching comedy The Change-Up, didnגt fare as well, grossing a soft $13.5 million and coming in No. 4.
Directed by David Dobkins, Change-Up entered a saturated market for raunchy comedies, and scored the lowest opening of the summer for its genre. The movie only received a B CinemaScore, and played older, with 50% of the audience over the age of 30.
Universal and Relativity Media co-financed Change-Up, which cost $52 million to produce.
Sonyגs surprise hit The Smurfs stayed strong in its second weekend, declining less than 42% to an estimated $21 million for a domestic cume of $76.2 million. The 3D kids pic placed No. 2.
Universal and DreamWorksג Cowboys & Aliens continued to struggle in its second outing, trailing Smurfs and grossing $15.8 million for a domestic total of $67.4 million. The movie fell 57%, a big drop considering the film is playing best to an older audience. Adult-skewing films generally build momentum, and see minimal drops if they are working.
Yup. Excellent sic-fi banger. Great story, great action and probably the best cgi ever. Tons of tosses to the old movies that were dead on and will be wasted on most fags.
Yeah, the quality of the CGI really can't be overstated. In fact, I find it to be the crux of the movie. There's is a sense of unease whenever Caesar is onscreen that ratchets the tension and emotion of each scene up a few notches. The movie never maturely explores any philosophical quandaries regarding ape vs. man, what it means to be human, etc., but it doesn't really need to because the the effects do the work of confusing and convincing the viewer. I got chills in a few scenes where Caesar got really emotional. We are getting very very close to completely filling in Uncanny Valley, and the potential that holds is clearly evident in this film.
Thereגs more to this movie than misanthropy
The critics leaping for joy over the sneering at humanity in Rise of the Planet of the Apes have missed the point.
Tim Black
Thereגs definitely a whiff of almost clich
Whether to Jason of Philaflava or John Podesta, I will speak my fucking perspective openly
