Entourage

Yes, this show has been around a while. I am a late comer to this program but I love it. Having just bought the first season on dvd yesterday, I already got through the 8 episodes as it is highly entertaining. Following the escapades of Vince Chase and his Queens buddies who form his entourage, we see whether has what it takes to make or break in Hollywood. Influenced by the early career of Mark Wahlberg, who executive produces, this is a witty and sharp tale of buddies who just happen to be in the entertainment business. Great cameos from the likes of Val Kilmer and an outstanding turn by Jeremy Piven, who steals every scene as Ari, Vince's agent.

Here is a monateg of Ari from Entourage. Regardez!!

Black Christmas

As there are no CINaddiction podcasts till 2007, my film reviews will be on here.

There is nothing like a bit of festive horror, there is not enough of it in my opinion. My favourite would have to be Gremlins, but that walks the fine line between comedy and horror. Black Christmas has its moments of comedy, some intentional, some not so much. It is a remake of the 70's film which should be more well known, it did influence films such as Halloween. There is not much difference between the two films, other than they add more back story to the killer. Usually, this can ruin a film (Charlie And The Chocolate Factory), in this case, I liked it.

Basically, Billy Lenz is a psycho. His mother hated him and later in life he snaps and kills his mother and eats her. Every year he says he is going back home from the confines of his cell in the mental institution. This year he fulfils his promise to find his old home is now a sorority house full of attractive ladies. Let the bloodbath commence.

This film is nothing special but that is because it doesn't try anything new but what it does, it is done effectively and that was more than enough to entertain me. It is pretty obvious who will survive and my favourite came to her demise (again, why?). It is a twisted little tale but isn't as good as the original. 6/10

Voxtrot

Here is a nice little band who have two e.p.'s out and I can't recommend them enough. They are very consistent and my personal favourite is Mothers, Sisters, Daughters & Wives. Here is a live performance of them from November 1 at The Troubadour in West Hollywood performing my favourite. Enjoy.

Wow, It Has Been A While

How come I always seem to be apologising on this damn site? Oh yeah, because I haven't been posting. Well, that will be the end of no posting. That was the dark times of The Media Mentalist, but he has been revitalised. No, he hasn't discovered aqua vita, just motivation. Nothing more, nothing less. Today, I am going to do a major posting session. I may even discuss a new game entitled "Tuna Fish Sandwich" but I may leave that for another time.

Anyways, whenever I do this apology post, I always post a picture of an attractive lady. I will not buck this trend. This lady is Mary Elizabeth Winstead, a fellow Sagittarius, she turned 22 on November 28th and is currently in Black Christmas, the remake from Glen Morgan, of Final Destination fame. Enjoy.
