No More Drama


It's hard to believe that season six of Entourage is already more than half over. I realize they can put more effort into each episode by not having 20 episodes, but seasons do go by so quick. Sundays episode was titled "No More Drama." This episode did not disappoint as usual. Scott Caan guest starred in this episode and while he did not have a lot of time he did play an important role. He is one of E's new fellow employees and does not like him right away because E knows a celebrity he wants to hire (Bob Saget). Vince and Turtles house gets broken into and decide they need to get some protection. After they realize weapons are not the answer they were looking for they choose to get a security system. Drama, after getting hostile with the head of the studio, tries all he can to apologize and get on his good side. Need I say that Drama's plan did not quite turn out the way he wanted. Check the show out when you get a chance. You will not be disappointed.

Live Hard, Sell Hard


As you may know Jeremy Piven's new movie The Goods. Live Hard, Sell Hard opened in theaters last Friday the 14th. It opened to mixed reviews. I thought it was a good movie. It was funny, but I also think you have to go into it knowing its not the best movie. That is the problem with most critics I think. They probably aren't the target audience and use their own personal opinions. If you look for reviews most of the reviews that are not from critics are positive. So go out and watch it and make your own opinion. Who knows? You may love it.

"Murphy's Lie"

Tonights episode of Entourage is titled “Murphy’s Lie.” In this episode E tries to fix his mess up with Ashley, Drama films the scene with Turtles girlfriend Jamie-Lynn Sigler, and Ari gets a surprise visit from Andrew Klines wife. This should be a good episode filled with a lot of entertaining moments, as always. This, however, will probably be a little more serious than the last episode. Hope all enjoy tonights episode.

"Murphy's Lie" Review

Last nights episode was just as expected, very entertaining and had a lot going on. Most of the storyline dealt with E’s and Drama’s problems. E has never really let go of Sloan, and he let it be known last night. He didn’t tell Ashley that Sloan is who set him up with the new job, but after listening to the voicemail Sloan left E she found out. Because E never told Ashley about it she got mad and eventually broke up with him. Drama on the other hand was out of control as always. Who would expect anything less, right? Well, after he finally got the shot the director wanted with him and Jamie-lynn the studio head took her out to lunch. When she doesn’t arrive back on time Drama gets curious and puts himself in a bad postion after confronting the studio head. He is then threatened with his job. After all that I can’t wait for next Sunday.

"Tree Trippers" Eric Roberts House




In the season 5 episode "Tree Trippers" the gang goes to Eric Roberts house to get some shrooms so they can find an answer on if Vince should do the Benji movie or Smoke Jumpers. The house that the gang visits Eric Roberts is in real life known as the Iny Estate. After doing some research I also found out that it was used as Steve Sanders house in Beverly Hills, 90210 among many other Hollywood projects. It is a massive house having 15 rooms and 6 bedrooms. There is a gym, library, media room, an elevator, and 4 fireplaces among many other amenities.

Fore Review

Fore was a very entertaining episode. I felt that even when he was in the scene Tom Brady added a lot of comedy and a little something special. One thing that really surprised me was Mark Wahlberg's reference to his old band Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch. I realize this is his show, but he always seems to get a little uneasy when that subject comes up. Drama was always hillarious when he and Vince played Brady and Wahlberg in the charity golf tournament. He wasn't on top of his game and whenever he messed up he freaked out like always. Turtle at the beginning was being a jerk to Brady, but after Brady mentions Giselle Bundchen's name he lightened up and even accepted an invitation to have Dinner with Brady. The surprise job opportunity that was mentioned in the previous post was a job offer from one of the most respected managing companies in Hollywood. Once he finds out Sloan suggested him for the job, E confronts her and it doesn't turn out well. In my opinion E doesn't need to mess things up with my girl Sloan.

Via Los Colinas

Vince and the gang have returned to their first residence otherwise known as the "trophy house" in the show. In real life it is known as Via Las Colinas or the C. E. Toberman Estate. This is a 19 room, 9800 sq foot house in Hollywood, Ca. It was completed in 1924 and was placed on the nrhp in 1983. If you are feeling really good you can hold an event here for a mere $10,000-$50,000. The address is 1847 Camino Palermo. Check it out

Etourage Returns

Entourage returned about 3 weeks ago with its sixth season. So far E moved into a house that Sloan showed him and has made his relationship with Ashley a little more exclusive. In this last episode he decided that he was giong to close down the Murphy Group. Turtle and Jamie lynn seem to have made things more permanent. Turtle has also decided to go to college. Drama has been Drama. I don't know what else to say about him. In the last episode he had a casting call for a girlfriend in his show. He had one girl do 25 takes. Typical Drama. Vince has gotten his driver's license for his new movie about Enzo Ferrari. He is starting to feel alone with everyone doing their own thing and not haveing as much time for him. So now that I am finally up to date on everything hopefully the posts will be more interesting and there will be more than just posts on previous seasons.

Pivens New Movie

This is a trailor for Jeremy Pivens new movie The Goods: Live Hard. Sell Hard.


Entourage Season 5

This review is from IGN.com

"After the disastrous bombing of Medellin from the previous season, Vince finds himself in serious trouble with his career. Going from an A-list actor to someone who's having trouble landing any role was not an easy transition for Vincent Chase. His bad luck was the primary theme throughout the season along with the pursuit of a role in a movie called Smokejumpers.

With several setbacks, it seemed like things would never turn around for Vince. From being used as leverage for roles for other people or being fired from the set of a movie, we get to see a side of Vince we haven't seen until now. While he manages to keep a positive attitude for the most part, there are episodes where you see his patience wearing thin, and you definitely see Vince with far less self-confidence that we've seen from him in previous seasons.

The real reason to watch Entourage is to see Ari Gold in action, and Jeremy Piven does not disappoint with another season of Emmy-worthy performances as Vince's over-the-top agent. Ari has some great development moment of his own, with a studio job offer that he seemingly can't refuse. Even while being offered his dream job, Ari still tries to look out for Vince. One of the most fascinating aspects about Ari is that despite being a sleazy slimy Hollywood agent, he still has a heart, and his concern for Vince is genuine and personal. We get to see Ari fight for Vince's career - wheeling and dealing to try to land something positive for Vince throughout the season. His best moments were probably reserved for one of the later episodes titled "Play'n With Fire," where he has a hilariously memorable confrontation with the director of Smokejumpers.

As has been the case for the last couple of seasons, we get to see more positive growth for Eric, who's become more and more confident and seems to finally be getting some real success with his own agency. While he's not the center of attention for most episodes, he does get a couple of standout moments including a confrontation with his nemesis Seth Green and surprise visit to former girlfriend Sloan.



- HBODrama is even more obnoxious than before and there are several moments where he's downright unlikeable. From potentially breaking Turtle's hopes for a relationship to an on-camera meltdown on The View to being arrested after breaking up with his girlfriend, Drama's neurotic charm wore very thin this season.

Turtle, on the other hand, finally finds a girlfriend with some lasting potential. Former Sopranos star Jamie-Lynn Sigler has some fantastic on-screen chemistry with Turtle, and this is a relationship with some interesting long term potential for Turtle. It's a nice move for a character that really doesn't get much attention compared to the other three.

Featuring some shocking ups and down, this was a season full of surprises. From Ari's potential dream job to Vince's struggles in landing a legitimate role proved to be yet another exciting rollercoaster ride for the friends. With all the drama surrounding Smokejumpers we're also treated to an insider look at what the business side of Hollywood might really be like. With so much happening, Season 5 turned out to be another solid series of episodes for one of HBO's best dramas."
