Which Female Entourage Character Are You?

Mrs. Gold: a fashionista in charge of the home and children yet still remains powerful enough to set her husband straight, putting her foot down if necessary.

Mrs-ari-gold
Shauna Roberts: the hard working publicist who is dedicated enough to Vince that she works during and after her pregnancy.  She lacks a filter and is often brutally honest with her opinions.

Debi-mazar-entourage
Dana Gordon: important company executive that tries hard not to show that she affected by the cut throat society of her business.  Though she never breaks down, she occasionally loses her candor and resorts to yelling and “tattling” when the air gets thick with anger.

Constance-zimmer-entourage
Barbara “Babs” Miller: Ari’s smooth, calm and collected mentor.  However, she remains a force to be reckoned with and can unleash wrath in the name of power and money doing so with an evil smile.

Beverly-dangelo-entourage-barbara-miller
Amanda Daniels: the black widow of all the characters. She wants her cake and wants to eat it too.  While in a power position, she uses her charm to seduce Vince.  When power is lost, lust and excitement for all that comes with it is also gone. 

Carla-gugino-entourage

Jacqueline:  the long distance girlfriend.  She is enamored with the devotion and doting of a man.  However, when the doting turns to suspicion and stalking like behavior, she quickly ends the relationship.

Julia-levy-boeken-entourage


Sloan McQuewick:  the long term girlfriend dubbed “the one that got away”.  Even after the relationship is over, Eric still lingers and resurfaces with a subtle pining for her heart.

Emmanuelle-chriqui-entourage  


Jamie-Lynn Sigler:  the smart girl that can have it all but always end up with the “wrong guy”.    This is the kind of woman that thinks she can reform the loser because she can see into his caring and gentle side but ends up with feelings of anger and resentment when he just won’t grow up.

The Suspense is Killing Me

The-shining-heres-johnny Call me crazy, but there is nothing I like better than to watch a good suspense film when I am home alone.  Not any suspense movie, but the kind that makes you get up and check to see if all the doors are locked…3 times.  The kind that makes you closes the windows even though it is 80 degrees inside.  And there has to the possibility that “this could really happen” to be worthy of my viewing.  Though these movies are violent in nature, slasher and gory movies are not included in this genre.

My tops 10 picks for a good night of psychologically disturbing, gluteal tightening excitement would be:

10. Misery…starring James Cann and Kathy Bates
9.  The Bone Collector…starring Denzel Washington and Angelina Jolie
8.  Fatal Attraction…starring Michael Douglas and Glenn Close
7.  Cape Fear…starring Robert DeNiro and Nick Nolte
6.  Silence of the Lambs…starring Jodi Foster and Anthony Hopkins
5.  Seven…starring Brad Pitt and Morgan Freeman
4.  Kiss the Girls….starring Morgan Freeman and Ashley Judd
3.  The Sixth Sense….starring Bruce Willis and Haley Joel Osment
2.  Psycho…starring Anthony Perkins and Janet Leigh
1.  The Shining….starring Jack Nicholson and Shelley Duvall

The Comback (to rehab) Kid, Mickey Rourke

Mickey-Rourke-Rehab When I mention the name Mickey Rourke, a washed up, need to be in rehab, vision of a man comes to mind.  That is why I am incredibly amazed that he has been nominated for his role in The Wrestler.  That is not to say that the movie wasn’t a great watch.  I just find it nearly unbelievable that Mickey stayed sober enough to remember any lines let alone demonstrate an award worthy performance. 

In recent interviews with the press, he continues to display his true colors, cursing and insulting anyone in his way.  Will this type of behavior knock him out of the running for the Best Actor Award?  He faces some tough opponents in the Best Actor category.   These nominees include Frank Langella in “Frost/Nixon”, Richard Jenkins in “The Visitor, Sean Penn in “Milk”, Leonardo DiCaprio in “Revolutionary Road”, and Brad Pitt in “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button”.   Who knows?  Maybe if he wins the Oscar, he might be more inclined to go back to rehab for his career comeback.

Twilight - Romancing the Vampire

Twilight The roles play by Brad Pitt and Tom Cruise from Interview with a Vampire left us wanting more...more vampire activity, that is.  Years have passed and our desire for the sensual, dark side still remains.  Then along comes Edward Cullen, whose character is based on the Twilight series, to steal our hearts.   Based on the four-book complete set, Twilight has evolved the vampire phenomena to a whole new carnal, yet celibate, level.

Merchandise based on the Twilight movie is appearing on posters, tee shirts and decalsSkins for the Nintendo DS and Sony PSP featuring the movie’s characters are also popular.  Novels about vampires are also being fiercely consumed by devout followers including the original Anne Rice novel: The Vampire Lestat.  And the animated Japanese Vampire Knight series offers an array of fan classics such as comic books, pillows, and jewelry.

Can’t wait for Twilight to be released on DVD?  Watch Interview with a Vampire.  If a more humorous and lighter side to the vampire appeals to you, how about a boxed set of the television series Buffy the Vampire Slayer?

The Clone Wars - Star Wars for the Next Generation

When the first Star Wars movie, now officially titled “A New Hope”, was released in theaters in 1977, I was seven years old. “The Empire Strikes Back” followed in 1980, and the original trilogy wrapped up in 1983 with “Return of the Jedi”. I would have given anything for a real lightsaber…come to think of it, I still would! The point is, I grew up with the world George Lucas created at impressionable times in my life. Star wars

The Star Wars universe then produced book after book from imaginative writers such as Timothy Zhan and Kevin J Anderson at a time in my life when I really enjoyed reading. The books I felt, did, and continue to do a fantastic job in furthering the Star Wars tale for those wanting a future-look into the lives of Luke Skywalker, Princess Leia, Han Solo, and company.

My son is now seven years old, and Star Wars means as much or more to him now, as it did to me all those years ago. That is what I think is one of the most unique characteristics of the Star Wars saga – it spans generations, and in some cases brings generations together. Essentially, the motion picture versions of the original trilogy, in addition to the prequel trilogy, tell the life story of Anakin Skywalker’s Jedi heroism, and his fall from grace to the Dark Side as Darth Vader - albeit a little backward in presentation.

And now, the spin-off story set between the motion pictures “Attack of the Clones” and “Revenge of the Sith”, is the story of the Clone Wars as the latest chapter. Thanks to the two animated dvd’s; “Star Wars Clone Wars – Volumes One and Two”, and the theater-released computer animated “Star Wars - The Clone Wars” prefacing the television series of the same name, my son now wants to either be a Clone Trooper, or a Jedi when he grows up. Well, who am I to stand in his way…provided he can score me that real lightsaber.
