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.
