Keeping Up With The Steins

Keeping Up With the Steins

Keeping up with the Steins is a movie about a young boy's preparation for his bar mitzvah.

The movie begins as Zach Stein's (Carter Jenkins) Titanic themed bar mitzvah on a cruise ship that his father, Arnie Stein (Larry Miller) has rented. Later in the movie we find out the bar mitzvah cost $500,000.00.

It is now time for Benjamin Fiedler (Daryl Sabara) to start planning his Super Sweet bar mitzvah. His parents Adam (Jeremy Piven) & Joanne (Jami Gertz) want one better then the Steins could ever thing about throwing. Ben gets a little overwhelmed in the whole planning. He is getting pressure from party-planner Casey (Cheryl Hines) to pick a theme. Ben finally picks a theme on the first thing he sees, his Los Angeles Dodgers cap. Adam rents out Dodger Stadium and even has booked Neil Diamond to sing the national anthem (who by the way looks fantastic for being 66 years old!)

The only thing Ben wants to do is reunite his father and grandfather, Irwin (Garry Marshall) who have been estranged for 26 years after Irwin left Adam's mother Rose, (Doris Roberts). Irwin is now working on a Native American reservation with a New Age woman, Sacred Feather/Sandy Frost (Daryl Hannah). Ben send Irwin an invitation for him to come two weeks early. Irwin comes to town with Sandy and hilarity ensues. Irwin & Sandy go skinny dipping in the pool and you see some old man butt. Adam is going crazy because he cannot let go of the past no matter how many times Irwin apologizes.

Benjamin doesn't want to go through with his bar mitzvah, as he doesn't even understand the words of the haftorah he has to read as part of his bar-mitzvah rite. Ben finally learn from the request of his grandfather and rabbit the meaning of the bar mitzvah and it is just not an excuse for an over the top party.

I thought the movie ok. I wasn't really impressed. Really the only thing it had going for it was the notable cast. I was also confused with the whole Adam Fielder character. The movie says that he is a Hollywood agent but he actually spends time with his family. Ari Gold spends no time with his family...so maybe Adam is not that good of an agent. I give this movie a 4 out of 10.

Big Shots

Big Shots

The new show for Thursday night is Big Shots. They are building Big Shots as the male Sex and the City. Hmm maybe but probably not. There are four main male characters who are CEOs of different companies. James Auster (Michael Vartan), Duncan Collingsworth (Dylan McDermott), Brody Johns (Christopher Titus) & Karl Mixworthy (Joshua Malina). We first meet these gentleman at a golf course country club fundraising event.

James is happily married to his wife which he met first day of freshman year of college. At the fundraiser his boss tells James that he will be fired tomorrow when the boss lets the board of directors know. At the fundraiser the boss is ran over by a golf cart and his killed so James goes back to work as normal. The boss' funeral James discovers that his happy marriage may not be so happy when he find out his wife was having an affair with the boss. James then goes into an interview for the CEO position and gets the job. James does have a shoulder to cry on co-worker, Katie Graham (Nia Long).

Duncan is probably the Samantha Jones character of this group. At the fundraiser he is having sex with his ex-wife, Lisbeth (Paige Turco) in the wine cellar. Apparently they get along better since they have been divorced. They also have a 19-year old daughter, Cameron ( Peyton List) who just recently dropped out of college. Duncan gives her a job at his company as a gopher to prove to her that she needs an education. His daughter dropping out of college is not his biggest problems. A nosey reporter is trying to dig up some dirt on Duncan. Awhile back Duncan was arrested in Yonkers for "getting a hummer from a tranny" yes those trannys are back again. This tranny actually looked like a tranny. Duncan's mission is to bribe the tranny from talking to the reported but the reporter got to the tranny first.

Brody was the least developed character of the episode. He sent the whole episode trying to get things organized for his wife's birthday party. So pretty much Brody is very whipped.

Karl is unhappily married to Wendy (Amy Sloan) and he is having an affair with interior-designer Marla (Jessica Collins). Karl tries on many occasions to break things off with Marla but with no success. Karl and Wendy are seeing a couples counselor. Marla also wants to go to couples counseling and they end up going to the same counselor that Karl and Wendy are seeing. Karl when trying again to break it up with Marla she runs off. When Karl gets home he find Marla in his living room talking to his wife. Marla did not tell Wendy about the affair but has come on Karl's request to redecorate their house!

I don't know about this one. I'll probably keep watching it but if I miss it, not a big deal. What is with ABC are they obsessed with trannys?

Jack Bauer is going up the river

Kiefer Sutherland has been formally charged with two misdemeanor counts of DUI, the Los Angeles City Attorney's Office announced Friday. He faces up to one year in county jail if convicted and a $1,000 fine, plus an additional six months if a judge deems he violated probation. You know a year in county lock up is nothing to Jack Bauer after spending eighteen months in a Chinese prison camp being tortured on a regular basis. You know what would be a better punishment than jail time? Cage-match with Nina Myers. (Source)

Dirty Sexy Money

Dirty Sexy Money

The new show for Wednesday night is Dirty, Sexy Money. The main character Nick George's father is the lawyer for a wealthy New York City family, the Darlings. Nick George (Peter Krause) is offered the job after his father's sudden death from a plane accident. The Darling family consists of Tripp Darling (Donald Sutherland), Letitia Darling (Jill Clayburgh) and their three sons Patrick (William Baldwin), Brian (Glenn Fitzgerald), Jeremy (Seth Gabel) and two daughters Karen (Natalie Zea) & Juliet (Samaire Armstrong).

Nick was originally a pro bono lawyer (you know a real do-gooder) and worked for the bare minimum amount of money. He absolutely hates the Darling family and everything they stand for. Nick could not get into the church for his own father's funeral because of all the press! How messed up is that?!? It was only because Tripp offered Nick $10 million a year charity money for Nick to donate were he wishes that Nick took the job as the family lawyer.

We find out that the Darling family are one f-ed up bunch of people. Patrick is thinking about running for Senate but he has a little problem with a "tranny hooker" that he is in love with. He tried to break it off with him/her but he was hypnotized in his/her tranny web and never broke things off. I tell you when that showed that woman I thought she was gorgeous but I knew something was off. It was confirmed when she opened her mouth and had the voice of Barry White.

Brian Darling is actually Reverend Brian Darling. I haven't figured out the religion if he is Catholic or Lutheran or what but for some reason he cannot stand Nick. When they flashed back to little kids Brian would tell Nick he hated him all the time. We find out that Brian has an illegitimate son, Brian Jr. (Will Shadley). Brian wants junior to get into a school but unless Brian acknowledges his son he will not be able to attend the school. The mother ends up leaving Brian Jr. with Brian for him to take care. Yeah that's going to be a hard one to explain.

Jeremy darling is just a spoiled rich kid with a healthy coke problem. He won a yacht in a poker game and was arrested in the first episode. He complains about how bad his life is...whatever dude, go cry on your bag of money.

Juliet is trying to be an actress but she is awful. She is an absolute mess. She finds out that her father paid for the play she is in. She ends up moving out after the first episode. When I say move out she is probably movie to an apartment that her dad is paying for.

Karen is by far the best character. Karen and Nick dated in high school and she lost her virginity to him. She has been married three times and is engaged to Freddy (Daniel Cosgrove, one of Kelly Taylor's boyfriends on 90210). She is very much still in love with Nick and reminds him of that every time they see each other oh and tells Freddy too.

Anyway I am going to give this show another try. I laughed out loud. Those people are so messed up! We also find out that mom was having an affair with Nick's dad for the past 40 years. Juicy!

Flushed Away

Flushed Away

Last night I saw the movie Flushed Away. The movie is computer animated from the same studio that brought us Wallace and Gromit. The movie features the voices of Hugh Jackman (Roddy), Kate Winslet (Rita), Ian McKellen (The Toad), Jean Reno (Le Frog) & Bill Nighy (Whitey). Roddy is a posh pet rat from Kensington, London that gets flushed down the toilet drain and ends up in the sewers. In the sewers there is a "rat world" that he never knew existed.

In order to get back home Roddy requests the help from Rita, a smart talking sewer rat. They encounter The Toad who wants Rita's "precious" jewel from the queen's crown. Once Rita finds out the jewel is not so precious she takes the electric cable. The Toad has planned to use the cable to destroy "rat-world" during the human Soccer World Cup Final. It is Rita & Roddy's job to find out how The Toad is going to destroy "rat-world" and save the day.

I absolutely loved this movie. It mixed in adult humor (it is British humor by the way) and kid humor. The movie was fresh and exciting and perfect for kids and adults. The slap-stick comedy was price-less and I fell out of my seat laughing. All the characters were delightful and very unique. I give this movie 8 out of 10.

My new favorite celeb.

I have a new favorite celeb ya'll. Since I have had a lot of free time on my hands I have been surfing the Internet and I have come across this chick in the British newspapers. Forget Britney, Paris or Lindsay, those girls do not hold a candle to this lady. I do call her a lady because she is so elegant and proper (since she is British). The celeb (and I use that term loosely) that I am digging the most at this time is, Kerry Katona.

You may ask yourself as did I, who the heck is this chick? Well all I can say this chick is a hot mess! According to her Wikipedia entry she is 27 years old and was in the girl group Atomic Kitten from 1999-2001. She left home at 16 to become and exotic dancer. She had to leave the Atomic Kittens because she became knocked up and shortly after that nude photos of her surfaced and were published in a UK tabloid!

In 2002 she married her baby-daddy Brian McFadden. He was in the Irish boy band Westlife. The couple ended up having two children together. She appeared in the British version of I'm A Celebrity, Get Me Out Of Here! She separated from McFadden in 2004 which resulted into drug abuse and rehab.

Then in 2005 she hooked up with a taxi driver and they have a daughter together born six weeks early on Feb 20, 2007.

On July 15, 2007 she was held at knife point in her own house while it was being robbed!! Her husband had to show the robbers around and they decided what to steal. They ended up stealing £150,000 worth of goods, including the couple's BMW, two computers and jewelery. Some people are saying it was all a set-up and a publicity stunt.

In August 2007 she refused to take a drug test in order to get custody of her two older daughters!!

Now the UK tabloids are all abuzz because Kerry announced on Monday that she was 7 weeks pregnant. On Tuesday there was announcement that she had a miscarriage. Then Wednesday they made yet another announcement that she was still pregnant!

I tell you what this chick needs her own show in the States. More updates on Kerry Katona to come!

Phil Spector is going to have to provide us with more freaky hairdos.

The judge declared a mistrial yesterday in the Phil Spector murder case. The jury was deadlocked 10-2 after 12 days of deliberation. The judge dismissed the jury and thanked them for their services.

"We are disappointed the jury was unable to reach a verdict," Los Angeles district attorney Steve Cooley," said in a statement. "We will seek the court's permission to re-try the case and begin immediately to prepare for a re-trial."

Phil Spector (67) is charged with second-degree murder for the death of Lana Clarkson. Spector's lawyers are saying it was a suicide. (Source).

OK Phil, when you go back to court we want new hairdos!! Possibly a layered look to frame the face? Or maybe the Farrah Fawcett circa 1976?

Cane

Cane

Last night I saw Cane on CBS. They are building this show as a Cuban-Sopranos. It wasn't so much in the first episode but previews show that it does have that potential. The story revolves around a Cuban family Duques. The own sugar cane fields and a rum business in South Flordia. The first show is just an introduction to the family and where they came from. Jimmy Smits plays Alex Vega the son-in-law of Pancho Duque (Hector Elizondo). Pancho finds out he is dying and needs to award his successor. Pancho decides that Alex is the best man for the job. This does not sit well with Pancho's two sons, Frank (Nestor Carbonell) & Henry (Eddie Matos).

We are also introduced to Alex's family, his wife and Pancho's daughter Isabel (Paola Turbay), his sons Jamie (Michael Trevino) & Artie (Samuel Carman) and daughter Katie (Lina Esco). Jamie is supposed to go to MIT in the fall but instead joins the army, Jamie also has a blonde hair girlfriend, Rebecca (Alona Tal) that mom is none to thrilled about. We discover that Alex came from Cuba as a young boy by himself. Alex was never reunited with his family so the Duques took him in as their own.

We are also introduced to the Duque rival family the Samuels. The Samuels want to purchase the Duque sugar fields but as Alex's first order of business as President & CEO he declines the sale to the objection of Frank & Henry. We also learn that the Samuels are suspected of kidnapping Pancho's three-year old daughter Lucia back in the 1970s in order for them to sell their land. The little girl ended up getting killed.

Overall I thought the episode was very good. I caught my interest and I will probably watch again next week. Especially if they promise to keep the Sopranos style story lines.

Bobby

Bobby

Last night I watched the movie Bobby, written, directed and staring Emilo Estevez. The movie takes place on June 4, 1968 at the The Ambassador Hotel. The movie is a fictional accounts of actual events that took place that day, the assassination of Robert F. Kennedy. Now, Emilo must have pulled every favor he had because everyone is in this movie. The movie stars Harry Belafonte, Joy Bryant, Nick Cannon, Emilio Estevez, Laurence Fishburne, Brian Geraghty, Heather Graham, Anthony Hopkins, Helen Hunt, Joshua Jackson, David Krumholtz, Ashton Kutcher, Shia LaBeouf, Lindsay Lohan, William H. Macy, Demi Moore, Freddy Rodríguez, Martin Sheen, Christian Slater, Sharon Stone, Mary Elizabeth Winstead & Elijah Wood. The film used a mix of actual footage (especially for the assassination scene) and acting. There were no conspiracy theories or reasons why it happened brought up, it was just the facts. The film was shot at the actual hotel while it was being demolished which I thought made it very real. Overall there may have been too many subplots which did not relate to the main plot. There were so many I didn't even think about explaining them all. I did think the end was touching and I even got a little teary-eyed. I give this movie a 6 out of 10.

Journeyman

Journeyman

I saw the new NBC show Journeyman which is very similar to Quantum Leap. It stars Kevin McKidd (he was Lucius Vorenus from HBO’s Rome) as Dan Vassar a reported for a fictional San Francisco newspaper. The beginning of the show we meet his wife Katie and son Zack. Dan is in a cab on his way to a meeting in the afternoon when he is randomly transported back to 1999. He sees his dead fiancé; Livia on the street hailing a cab but Dan does not realize what is going on yet and he is jolted back to 2007. .

While Dan is sleeping he is transported back to 1987. After the initial shock of being in 1987, he saves the life of a man named Neil who was about to commit suicide. After Dan saves Neil’s life he is transported back to present time where he has been missing for 2 days. Dan’s wife is not very happy with what has been going on, she thinks he is on drugs.

Again Dan is transported back to 1987 and runs into Neil again. He follows him to a restaurant and Neil is talking to a woman. She is pregnant and is telling Neil that she is going to have an abortion. Neil quickly leaves the restaurant and Dan has a conversation with the girlfriend and convinces her to keep the baby. He is again transported back to 2007 and is again had been missing for several days.

Dan goggles these people in 2007 and realizes that the girlfriend and son have been killed on Dec 31 1997 but before he has time to know how Dan is transported back to 1997. Dan is a little smarter this time and goes to his 1997 apartment to get freshened up and a change of clothes. There he runs into 1997 Livia and quickly leaves and in the hallway he bumps into what appears to be 2007 Livia but she was supposed to have died in a plane crash but apparently she never got on the plane and has been time traveling too??

Anyway Dan catches up with 1997 Neil who informs him that his wife and son are moving to Los Angeles and he is going to stop them. Dan calls for him when Neil is crossing the street and sees Neil’s family and Neil ends up getting hit by a bus. On Neil is a gun that he was going to kill family. Dan is then transported back to 2007 where he tells his brother, Jack (who by the way we learn in 1997 was Katie’s boyfriend) that Neil’s son Jacob was some medical prodigy and graduated medical school at 18 or something. The previous year (2006) Jacob rescued six kids out of a bus. So that was Dan’s mission was to make sure that Jacob survived.

Dan’s wife Katie was not happy because he has been missing for several days and tells him to leave. Dan says he is going to prove that he has been time traveling. He goes into the backyard; underneath their patio (which they put in 7 years ago) Dan digs up a toolbox with the newspaper dated Dec 31, 2007 and Katie’s engagement ring which Dan had been holding onto since the beginning of the episode because he was getting it fixed. Katie now believes him and all is well.

I actually enjoyed the episode. The only part I was confused with was the whole encounter with Livia in the hallway in 1997. So is she alive? Who knows? Maybe they will explain it better next week.

She has been named in divorce paper of British heiress, Stephanie Allen (28). In the divorce papers it states that Lohan had sex with her musician husband in the toilet of a rehab clinic. Who is her musician husband you may ask? His name is Tony Allen (39) frontman of Savannah, GA based band Dead Stays Alive, I have never heard of them so I'm not sure what kind of music they perform. Of course Lindsay and Tony Allen deny everything and say they are just good friends. We'll have to see what happens (Source)

Britney is going to jail....maybe..who are we kidding, she's not.

Last month Britney Spears was in a parking lot and bumped into another car and drove off. Well since the paparazzi follow her every move the accident was caught on tape. Well as a result of that she has been charged with hit-and-run causing property damage and driving without a valid license. If convicted on both misdemanor charges, she faces up to a year in jail. According to the DMV Britney Spears was never issued a California driver's license. She is being represented by the same lawyer as Paris Hilton. When will she learn?!? Britney Spears needs to be sent to jail so she can go away because she won't do it herself, she'll need to be forced. We all know she will probably only get off with a fine and probation. So we will have to wait till she commits another crime that will violate probation and then be sent to jail. (Source)

Ms. Stefani’s character is such that she is not the type of person who counters verbal attacks with verbal attacks, or “hollering back.” Using terminology that is commonplace among today’s youth, this is shortened to “hollaback.” Additionally, it appears as though this altercation will take place somewhere near the bleachers.

Gossip Girl

TV starts up again this week.

The new fall TV season officially started this week. I have a few theories on how I am going to do things this year. I am going to watch as many new shows as I can and hope some of them stick. The new shows that premier only about 5% stay on the air to see another season. The first new show I am going to try is the CW’s Gossip Girl. According to Wikipedia the show is based on novels of the same name by Cecily von Ziegesar. The show was created by The OC’s Josh Schwartz and instead of rich kids from Newport, CA it is about rich kids from the upper East Side of Manhattan. The basis of the story is that Kristen Bell is the narrator and blogger who calls herself “Gossip Girl.” She runs a blog about all of her Upper East Side classmates and creates conflict. Gossip Girl never appears on screen, only her voice is heard. It sounds interesting enough so I think I will give it a go.

Before They Were Stars

The big celeb news of yesterday was that Britney is now required to take random drug testing and she will have to meet with a "parenting coach". She hasn't lost her kids (yet) she and K-Fed are still 50-50 custody. The judge determined that Britney is a "habitual, frequent and continuous" user of alcohol and controlled substances and now must undergo twice-weekly random testing. Britney and K-Fed must both attend a "Parenting without conflict" classes and joint co-parenting counseling. Their next custody court date is November 26. We'll see if this works. I think the only thing that is preventing her from not completely going over the edge is her kids. Maybe the fear of losing her kids will straighten her up. She just needs to clean house with all the enablers lurking around.

I don't watch the Hills (yes I know shocking). This chick is on the Hills and I guess she wants to be a pop star. She is trying to lip sync her song?!? She also looks like she is having a seizure with those dance steps.

Is This Rock Bottom?

If the debacle at the VMAs wasn’t enough, Britney Spears is in a new mess this week. Yesterday, her manager and lawyer announced that they both quit. This does not sound good for Britney because she had a custody hearing where a “surprise witness” was to provide testimony. The “surprise witness” turned out to be Tony Barretto a former bodyguard that was fired by Spears on May 18. K-Fed’s lawyer brought him in prepared to testify about "issues of nudity by Ms. Spears, drug use and safety issues involving the children" that he witnessed. I guess if anyone would know about the goings on of Britney Spears it would be a bodyguard. Fox News last night reported that Britney would lose custody of her children, but there has been no official announcement. So is this Britney’s rock bottom? I seriously think she needs to pull a Lohan and just go away! She needs to go to Utah or Wyoming or Idaho where she can stay out of the spotlight for a few months. She obviously needs to get her life back together and figure out what she is going to do. Unfortunately, I don’t think she is going to do that; she loves the spotlight and the paparazzi flashes way too much.

OJ Simpson was arrested today in Las Vegas today. He is accused of kidnapping this baby! Nah, just kidding. He is accused of being involved in an armed robbery of sports memorabilia. Simpson says the items were his and he was just "retrieving" them. He said he didn't call the police first about the "stolen" items because the police have been "unresponsive" to him since he killed his ex-wife and her friend back in 1994. Anyway, they are still trying to figure out what to charge him with. OJ has a chance to be the defendant in "Trial of the Century" in two different centuries...his family must be so proud.

Babel

Brad Pitt is Looking Rough.

I say this for two reasons, I saw Babel last night and since he has gotten with Angelina Jolie he has not looked the same. That boy needs a nap! It is probably the fact that he became an instant father but still you are Brad Pitt go to the day spa while the kids are in school. I know he had a few facials when he was with Jennifer Aniston. I blame Angelina Jolie for draining all the hotness out of this once sexiest man alive.

Babel is a Golden Globe winning and Academy Award nominated film staring Brad Pitt (Richard Jones) & Cate Blanchett (Susan Jones). The movie focuses on interrelated sets of situations and characters, and many events are revealed out of sequence..gee, my favorite. The four locations are Morocco, Japan, United States & Mexico. Richard & Susan are on vacation in Morocco where Susan gets hit by a stray bullet while riding a tour bus. In Japan the focus is on a deaf & mute teenage girl and is traumatized by the suicide of her mother. Back in the United States Susan & Richard’s twins are being kept by their Mexican nanny. The shooting causes them to stay in Morocco longer than expected. Well the nanny’s son is getting married in Mexico and with no one to keep the children she takes the children to Mexico. Mental note: they frown upon taking American kids to Mexico without parental permission and try and bring them back…oh especially if you are illegal in the first place. Anyway all the stories end up intermixing in the end. It wasn’t the worst movie I have ever seen. I did watch the whole movie so I have to give it credit for that. It went very slow at times so I give it 4 out of 10.

Lord of War

Lord of War movie review

The movie I saw last night is the Lord of War staring Nicolas Cage, Jared Leto, Ethan Hawke & Bridget Moynahan. The movie is based on actual events, which I was not aware of until after the movie. Nicolas Cage plays Uri Orlov a Ukrainian born immigrant living in Brooklyn in the early 1980s. He is not sure what he wants to do with his life and instead of going to school and getting a job he decides to become a black-market arms dealer. Jared Leto plays the younger brother who helps Uri in the beginning but a nasty cocaine habit prevents him from continuing in the family business. Uri starts small just selling to local rebels but eventually becomes a top dealer with the fall of the Soviet Union. His Ukrainian roots allow him to be the first to sell off the stockpile of Soviet weapons. His best client, the dictator of war-torn African nation, Liberia. Uri and the dictator become BFFs and Uri gets involved over his head. His wife Bridget Moynahan wants him to leave the business and Uri actually goes legit for about six months. Ethan Hawke is also thrown into the movie on the occasion as a do-gooder Interpol agent who cannot be bought. He brings havoc to Uri but never catches him red-handed.

I actually enjoyed the movie; I was worried at the beginning because in my history Nicolas Cage’s movies are either really good or really bad. It wasn’t the worst Nicolas Cage movie but it certainly wasn’t the best. Nicolas Cage has a tendency to overact but Jared Leto is in his element as the coked up brother (because isn’t he coked up all the time)? Ethan Hawke’s character was annoying but I guess you needed that balance of good and evil. I give this movie 6 out of 10.

My Boys season finale

I really hate season finales. Why you may ask? It leaves you with so many unanswered questions and you have to wait six months (more) for the season premiere to get those questions answered!!! I was watching My Boys season finale last night. My Boys is on TBS and I enjoy it very much. A quick background is PJ Franklin is a girl and her friends are 4 guys and her brother. She does have one girlfriend, Stephanie who is her balance of girlie-girl. She is a sports reporter for the Chicago Cubs, drinks beer, plays poker and best of all she’s not an ugo!

Anyway the beginning of the season PJ and Stephanie get super cheap tickets to Italy. They made a pack that when their flight leaves in six months they will have their dream men to accompany them. Well Stephanie was able to find her dream man, her credit counselor. PJ on the other hand decided she was going to take the trip alone in the season finale. After she makes her decision three ex-boyfriends from the past season all make an appearance and all want her back! She has to make a decision, either go by herself or pick from 8 guys who want to go to Italy. (I am counting 8 because, her 3 ex-boyfriends, 4 guy friends & her brother). Anyway you finally get to see whom she asked to go to Italy and it cuts off!! WHAT!?! See Ya Next Season! Grrr! That makes me so mad!!! Sure, I’ll forget about it in a week but still!! I WANT TO KNOW WHO SHE TAKES!!!

NHL Ad - 2004 - Keanu Reaves

When did Keanu Reeves start an acting school?

Some of ya’ll reading this are probably wondering Keanu Reeves? In my opinion Keanu Reeves is the worst actor of his generation (my generation?...I’m not sure when the cut off is). According to www.imbd.com Keanu Reeves birthday is September 2, 1964. Really?!? He’s 43! Then he is not part of my generation. Good. Seriously, have you all seen the Lake House? The only thing he has going got him was the Matrix (the first one) but how long can you hang on to that success…the movie is almost 10 years old (1999).

Now with that said I can start my movies reviews. The first movie I saw was Step Up staring Channing Tatum (Tyler) & Jenna Dewan (Nora). This is a dancing movie which I am all about. Its a little Save the Last Dance meets Dirty Dancing but nobody put Baby in a corner. The plot of the movie is that Tyler is a disadvantage youth in foster care who breaks into a dance school…his punishment 200 hours community service at the dance school. Privileged Nora is working on her senior performance and her partner sprains her ankle so she asks Tyler to help her because he is a street dancer…of course he is. Well they end up falling in love after a few obstacles, of course. Now the movie was a good teen movie but Save the Last Dance & Dirty Dancing was much better. Tyler & Nora had about as much chemistry as first cousins. Channing Tatum is not a very good actor. He is the equivalent to Keanu Reeves. He grunts and does not enunciate words! I mean he is easy on the eyes so that is probably why he keeps getting roles. I’m thinking the next role needs to be a non-speaking.

The next movie is Good Night and Good Luck. This movie was written and directed by People’s Sexiest Man Alive, George Clooney. See, he’s not just a pretty face and he did star in the movie and Clooney did not attend the Keanu Reeves School of Acting. This movie is about North Carolina’s own Edward R. Murrow and Senator Joseph McCarthy’s and the conflict they had during McCarthy’s anti-communist witch hunt during the 1950s. Edward R. Murrow was played by David Strathairn and he did an excellent job. I think it would be very hard for an actor to play a real person, especially one that was a part of people’s lives especially during World War II.

The entertainment news going on this week is quite interesting. Vanessa Hudgens (from the High School Musical Series) added her name to the numerous Hollywood skanks that have had their personal photos “leaked” to the press. Now when I saw the photo on www.perezhilton.com I thought it didn’t look like her, heck Perez didn’t think it looked like her! Friday we did learn through her reps that it was her! Knock me over with a feather! Really? Hmm. Well she has apologized and Disney (the makers of High School Musical) has said that she has learned a valuable lesson. I guess she hasn’t been fired yet.


Everyone make sure you set your DVRs, TIVOs, VCRs or whatever you use because Sunday September 9, 2007 at 9:00pm EST the hot mess herself, Britney Spears is opening the 2007 MTV VMAs! So is this going to be her big comeback or will she finally hit rock bottom? You have to tune in to find out!

Finally I have received my Fall Season Preview for TV Guide this week. I tell you what I am not impressed with the crop of shows that are on the schedule this year. I try to load up on lots of shows at the beginning, knowing that 95% of the shows will be cancelled after the first three weeks. I think the only show that I watch that premiered last year is Heroes.
