Quantum of Solace...

This is a much meaner, more bad ass James Bond. You saw Daniel Craig play the elusive spy in the last flick Casino Royale, and he's coming back for Quantum of Solace. This time around, he's out for revenge.

Check out the trailer

JD's Review: Forgetting Sarah Marshall.

You know, I have been wanting to see Forgetting Sarah Marshall since I saw the trailer some time ago, but I just couldn't find the time to go watch it. Finally, I got a copy of the flick and popped it in, and sat down to delve into almost two hours of hilarity.

I wasn't dissapointed. Despite the fact that there is one (or four) time(s) you see male-frontal-nudity (all Jason Segal mind you) it's one of the best comedies I've seen in a good long time. In the same vein as Knocked Up and 40 Year Old Virgin it's crude comedy at it's finest. Kristen Bell is gorgeous, but Mila Kunis is even hotter.

The story follows a TV show composer who works for the show that his girlfriend Sarah Marshall (Bell) works for. He basically does the music that plays over the serious points in the flick. One would say they're ominous. He gets a call from Sarah saying they need to talk, and he gets out of the shower sees her there, and she breaks up with him. Which creates the hilarity (in all honesty), because everyone deals with a break up their own way. Whether it be wallowing in self-pity, or getting so drunk you stick your dick in anything with a pulse (preferably female). Jason Segals character Peter does not take this break up well and decides he needs to go on a vacation to Hawaii.

He gets to Hawaii and who is there, but his ex-girlfriend TV-star Sarah Marshall with her new Boyfriend Rockstar Aldous Snow.

I could go on, but you get the drift. You throw in the temptable Mila Kunis as Jason Segal's new love interest and the story could go in a number of different directions. Is the movie predictable? Yes, it is, but it's still laugh out loud hilarious.

And the end? Holy fucking Christ, I was dying. Let me put it to you this way:


Now, that is not the end, it's just something that gets furthered along in the end of the flick, but definitely see this flick if you can, it's well worth the price of a dvd, or a rental, or whatever it is you do to watch flicks.

Hot Chick O' The Week

This chick is a Long Islander much like myself, but obviously I'm not anywhere near as famous. Natalie Portman has been in countless movies, my favorite of hers is Garden State and Closer, but she's been in Anywhere But Here and Where the Heart is which are both chick flicks, but still none-the-less still good. She's a good actress, a little weird for my taste, with all of her charity and filming stuff in Rwanda and whatnot. Anyway, she's the Hot Chick O' The Week.

Xzibit, Kilmer join Bad Lieutenant

Nic Cage and Val Kilmer will be partners when a remake of the Abel Ferrara classic Bad Lieutenant hits screens in 2009. The flick is about (from IMDB.com): A police Lieutenant goes about his daily tasks of investigating homicides, but is more interested in pursuing his vices. He has accumulated a massive debt betting on baseball, and he keeps doubling to try to recover. His bookies are beginning to get agitated. The Lieutenant does copious amounts of drugs, cavorts with prostitutes, and uses his status to take advantage of teenage girls. While investigating a nun's rape, he begins to reflect on his lifestyle.

I remember watching this flick not too long ago, on AMC or one of the movie channels. It's not on frequently and it reminds me of To Live and Die in LA (which if you get the chance is an awesome flick amigo) also...Nicolas Cage has proven himself to be a character actor. He can play pretty much anyone. Leaving Las Vegas is a tribute to his actual acting, and that kind of acting will help him play the role that Harvey Keitel made famous.

Also, luccccccccious Eva Mendes has joined the ranks and will star opposite Cage, Xzibit, and Kilmer.

Doherty brings back Brenda...

Shannen Doherty, best know for her role as Brenda Walsh in Beverly Hills 90210 is going to be reprising her role in the upcoming CW spin-off of said series 90210. Her former co-stars, Tori Spelling and Jennie Garth are already returning, Luke Perry has turned down an offer to return, Jason Priestley will more than likely direct some episodes, and the offers are on the table to Brian Austin Green and Ian Ziering respectfully (so I heard).

If Side Order of Life gets picked up ...

CORRECTION...

Priestley wants to do the show, but fears that they won't ask him to do it. If they don't...I swear to you, I will not watch this 90210 show.

Jose Reyes: Child Star in the making.

Jose Reyes is a Major League Baseball Shortstop for the New York Metropolitans. Let me reiterate that again for those of you who can't grasp that.

Jose Reyes is a Major League Baseball Shortstop for the New York Metropolitans.

While being one of the best shortstops in all of baseball (Hanley Ramirez is the best actually) and having a rocket-powered arm doesn't hurt. However, when he makes a bad throw and a hit goes into the outfield he acts like a little leaguer and throws his glasses and hat down to the ground in disgust.

I am disgusted. I mean this is second in my disgust to Manny Ramirez who tossed the Traveling Secretary of the Red Sox to the ground because he could get 16 (!) tickets to the Sox' game in Houston against the 'Stros.

Jesus Christ, MLB stars are a bunch of pussies.
