I'm a bit over Stallone. I haven't seen the latest Rocky and don't have plans for it either. Won't see Rambo either.

The Painted Veil with Edward Norton, Naomi Watts, and Liev Schreiber. Three of my favorite actors. And the reason I wanted to see it is because of another film. Up at the Villa is a good movie taking place in preWWII Italy. I really liked that film and the same author wrote both novels.
Well? It was OK. Great acting but a bit boring for my tastes. In all those 1920s books it seems the anti-heroine is the same. I am not sure if the writers are trying to portray them as feminist or worse. They all have spunk, they all sleep around, and will it never ends good does it?
I've wondered in the past that men and women are the same. Women should be able to do everything a man does and be judged the same. Why do women want to bring themselves down to our levels? It's not pretty for man or woman.
Still this movie is a long road and the heroine certainly gains much respect. She cheats on him pretty early on and it's a long road to forgiveness. Also the fact that people would just marry whoever your parents approve of is a big factor. He knew she didn't love him when they married.

The other movie I saw (speaking of feminism) is Bound.
The Wachowski brothers doing a lesbian/mob movie? I was worried. But it was pretty good. Corky (Gina Gershon) is a butch ex-con handy woman. Violet (Jennifer Tilly) is the girlfriend of a mobster. Sparks fly. I liked it lots. Yes we have women acting like men doing bad things but they prove they are smarter than men.
I was rooting for Corky all the way in this one. At the end it was nice to see she never became a damsel in distress yet kept it realistic when she's flat out fighting mobsters. There was no kung-fu theatrics here where Corky is beating up all the mobsters with her high kicks. No this was gritty.
I saw some David Lynch in it as well and I always love that.

I saw Ocean's 13 this last weekend. It was all right.
My wife and best friend are pop culture junkies of sort. Ok, that isn't fair. They atleast pick the cooler stuff and to tell the trith are quite oblivious to pop culture for months at a time. In other words they love star studded fun films like this.
It wasn't as good as the first two. I liked the second one alot just cause it was in Europe.
The film was successful in my eyes but it wasn't that strong. It seemed rush. I paid extra for a premium theater and the sound quality was horrible. (this is why i watch films at home!)

Saw Casino Royale. It rocked! Now that's how James Bond is suppossed to be. Not too suave. Rugged yet refined.
Also saw Chelsea Wall's which was...ok. Actually I fell asleep on two different nights trying to finish it. I never finished it. It didn't suck but it really didn't hold my attention.

Saw "Stoned", a story about the death of Rolling Stnes founder Brian Jones, a couple of days ago. I thought it was awesome (Monet Mazur, who I've never heard of before, is stunning.) But then when I checked out what some film critics had to say after it's release, they didn't care for it. ehh, critics.
Just bought "300". We'll probably watch it tommorrow night. Looks beefy and I'm hoping it's not too violent (bloody beef = yuck.)

I hear you, Ultra Jorge. I hadn't heard of it either and it's been out for almost two years. The opening sequence when they find his body in a pool was incredible. And even though I'm gay, I love looking at a beautiful blonde as much as the next guy who likes looking at beautiful blondes. And Monet Mazur is one of those Julie Christie type beautiful blondes (my favorite variety.)
Speaking of beautiful blondes, my favorite movie of all time this month is Nicholas Nickleby. Another movie that I didn't know existed until a few months ago. The beautiful blonde is Charlie Hunnam and he's actually prettier than his costar Anne Hathaway (no really.)
It also has to be the gayest version of Nicholas Nickleby (or any Dickens story, for that matter) ever made. Though Charlie and Anne are the love interests, the movies main focus is on the relationship between Nicholas and Smike. Throw in Nathan Lane, a pink horse, and Dame Edna Everidge, and well, it's pretty gay.
But still you don't have to be gay to enjoy it. In fact if you're not gay most of the references will probably go right over your head (think Pee Wee's Playhouse). So don't let that stop you from seeing it if you haven't. Christopher Plummer's performance alone makes it worthwhile. Also, the cinematographer and art director didn't miss a beat so it's amazing to look at.

Entourage. I loved this show since it came out. I've always been a Jeremy Piven fan (met him in miami once...he had a yellow ferrari. must be nice).
Anyways, I will just comment on the Day &@%*ers episode. I thought when I saw Turtle in the bunny outfit the show had jumped the shark. But when I saw the ending with Drama in the outfit. I laughed for like 10 minutes straight. Literally cried and hit rewind about 3 times. My wife was not amused.

I love Entourage, one of my favorite shows. One of the funniest shows ever on TV. That being said, I watch it in DVD form since I don't have HBO, so I haven't watched most of season three or four. Still, I catch espisodes when I travel (which is a lot), and I saw the bunny outfit one--hysterical.
Great, great show. Also saw the documentary making of mediian episode--one of the funniest episodes EVER!

All right Cobie I know I could count on you! It's such escapism for guys really. It reminds me of those years between 24 to 27 when my friends and i finally got decent jobs after college and try to act "money" to pick up the chicks, etc.
Anyways, everything Drama or Ari says just makes me laugh. great show.
