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. smile

Also saw Chelsea Wall's which was...ok. Actually I fell asleep on two different nights trying to finish it. I never finished it. frown 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.)

Ram Boy, I never heard of Stoned. Maybe I'll check it out.

300 was awesome!

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. smile

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.

Also saw that! (You can count on me laugh )

Actually pretty darn good, as you say. Its definately got my attention and I'm dying to see it play out.

Never was a fan of Glenn Close until the Shield season four (or was it five?), but consider me one now. She kills it here. Love Tate Donovon and Ted Dansen does a great job. Lots of other actors shining and Rose Byrne is the surprise star of each scene she's in.

Yet another example of why FX is where its at these days for this type of intense drama on television.

Heroes has just started showing over here.

I've on;y seen the first three episodes so far but I am hooked.

The first couple of episodes were a bit slow but there seem to be a lot of plotlines they are setting up.

Hiro is my new God by the way.

His, absolute, joy in the use of his powers is infectious and the moment when he teleported to New York left me with a big, goofy grin all over my face.


Be lucky

walkwithcrowds, Heroes is a great show. My wife is not a comic book person at all and it became her favorite show. My daughter as well (11) not into comics and this is her favorite show. (she's a cheerleader)

I'm really liking "Burn Notice" on USA lately. It's a good summer show - good enough to rise above other summer fare, but might've gotten edged out against the regular season shows. I'm definitely interested to see where the main plotline goes and it's always fun to see all the little "spy tricks" he lets us in on every week.

This past weekend, I saw an excellent 2-part documentary on VH1. It was called NY77: The Coolest Year in Hell, and it focused on all the unpleasant things in New York City 30 years ago: urban decay, Son of Sam, the beginnings of my two least favorite music genres, hip-hop and punk rock, etcetera. I always like it when a movie or TV show or documentary refuses to sanitize the past, but instead illuminates how similar the past is to the present. I'm thankful that, as bad as Southeast Florida is right now, it's still not as bad as New York City in '77.

drake, i like burn notice. i've seen a couple of episodes. gotta catchup with it.

Stealth, i am watching The Bronx is Burning which is an ESPN series about the summer of 77 in NYC from the Yankees perspective. It's pretty good. Two of my favorite actors are in it John Turturro and Oliver Platt. (i saw Daniel Sunjata when i went to nyc a few weeks ago. he's pretty but his acting needs a bit of work)

Stealth, where in FL are you? Us Floridians have to stick together. wink

I watched The Prestige last night on DVD. I was completely blown away. My wife and I kept throwing out theories about what was going on--the movie kept a nearly perfect balance between confusing you and revealing just enough to keep you completely enthralled. Bale and Jackman (whew! How man-crush worthy can a guy be?) were brilliant. First movie in a while I've just adored.

armsfalloffboy, aye and aye again! One of the best films I've ever seen. I was blown away. My friend told me there was...a twist. I figured out the Bale part early on. (don't want to give this away!) But it just amazed me.

Which reminds me. I need to see that film.

Bale and Russell Crowe have a western coming out. Bale looks very...Eastwoodish in it.

Jorg, I've also been watching the Bronx is Burning (man, are tastes in TV are about as similar as can get laugh ). Great show so far! Like the show Stealth is watching, it really does a good job of showing NYC in 1977. I'm a major Yankees fan too, so that is the most pleasing part for me (I love Nettles, Munson, Chambliss, Randolph and others, but generally dislike Reggie Jackson b/c he wasn't a life long Yankee).

John Turturo is one of my fave actors too. Sunjata (sp?) is the man on Rescue Me, so I like him here a lot too.

I love how the show NYC in the 70's and 80's as being as dirty, rugged and slimy as it was. Guiliano really cleaned it up. NYC is so much nicer now its like a whole nother city. Lots of cities are like that now (Chicago, even Baltimore to a degree...not so much Detroit laugh ).

The Son of Sam scenes have been very intense, as was the riot.

What I wanna know is, when is it Miami's turn?

And thanks, guys, for the recommendations of Bronx is Burning; I don't usually watch ESPN, so I had no idea they were doing movies now.

Oh, one other thing: there wouldn't have been a riot like the New York '77 one in Ecuador, because blackouts are so common there. LOL

Cobie, my godmother lived in NYC her whole life so I visited alot as a kid. I agree 100% about Guliani cleaning it up. It's like night & day. When I last visited my friend made a comment that Guliani "disneyfied nyc"...like that was a bad thing. I will take disneyfied any day before what it was. It's called a nice, clean, safe city.

Stealth, regarding Miami. I also have visited the southeast region since I was knee high. Have family in Hollywood, West Palm, Miami, etc. You know I saw Miami get a bit better in 90's. Sure it was too trendy but hey that was better than trashy. The last couple times I went though (last year and in 2004) it seemed a bit more trashy than it should be. It attracted quite a deviant crowd. And I'm all for some deviants...but it was a bit scary again. smile Lots of bums, etc.

Just watched Miss Potter. I enjoy period movies (my partner calls them Big Skirt Movies. As in; "Oh no! Not another..."), and this one was wonderful.

See I hate "chick flicks" but I love period pieces? I guess the history nerd in me digs them.

Ram Boy, so was Miss Potter crazy? Or just very imaginitive? And what characters did she create again? smile
