Dusty Springfield

'Beautiful Boy'

michael sheen and the oh so under-rated maria bello in this future 2010 release grabbed me.

trailer

'What If' Dante Met Tess

the real deal here is dominic zamprogna.this guy has the talent and should make a go at the big screen.

'The Back Up Plan': **stars

i have a thing for jennifer lopez in her romantic comedies. i find her absolutely charming in them. even in this bit of a miss and mess she shines. alex o'laughlin is another charmer. they just have a lousy script to work with that's all too formula and familiar.

rent it on a rainy day. it will pass the time.

Pet

i'm on a well needed solo vacation so i'm leaving you with the wonderful petula clark to add some sunshine to your life today.

La chanson de Marie Madeleine'



Medley from 1996



'kiss me goodbye'

Happy Birthday to Keanu, Salma, Mark, Tuc and Me

The Emmy's Redux

if you missed the emmy's you missed a damn good opening number. so here it is.

best bit: betty white and jon hamm

enjoy.

September Recommendations

'charade' is the real deal for me this month. audrey hepburn, cary grant and paris on blu ray. stanley donen's hitcockian thriller is and will always rate A+ in my book. if you've seen it see it again: if you have not seen it treat yourself. it is simply the best.

the first season of 'glee' is released. if you haven't seen it rent it and get ready for season 2 which premieres on september 21. you owe it to yourself.

and then we have season one of 'the vampire diaries' one of last year's best new tv series. i love it and it scores higher with me than 'true blood'.

season 2 begins on september 9th and i'll be there.

it is shakespere, it has kate winslet and julie christie and it's on blu ray. i need no other reasons to own it. i grant it is primarily a kenneth branagh vanity production but what the hell it still has christie and winslet. enuf said!

you needed a subscribtion to starz to see 'spartacus'. this month you can rent or own it on dvd or blu ray. this was an ambitius project and turned out to be one of the best this past season. i say go for it.

'letters to juliet' is a charmer. it's an ice crean sundae on a summer afternoon. amanda seyfried continues to shine even as vanessa redgrave steals the cherry right off her sundae. what can i say i love this type of film as much as most others when done right. this was done right.

last but not least is the first dvd only release of 1964's 'where love has gone'. based on the king of 60's trash novelist harold robbins novel it is a piece of high camp. for fans of bette davis and or susan hayward it is a must. these were the days of older actresses having to do camp or horror films to work. thank the gods this in no longer true. but as both a hayward and davis fan i can't wait to see them go at it again in living color. as far as camp films go it is an A.

these releases will also be available in september:


'poltergiest' one of the best of it's genre on blu ray.

'tommy' the who's rock musical mainly notable for tina tiurner as the acid queen on blu ray.

'harlow' a carroll baker vehicle that is good 'trashy' fun. it was done better as a carol lynley vehicle at the same time which appears to have disappeared. dvd only.


and of course


the fifth season of 'supernatural' will be released on blu ray and dvd. but for your own sake start at season 1

Passed July/August 2010

Happy Birthday Richard

'Vampire Diaries' on Blu Ray and DVD Today

one of the best shows of the 2009-2010 tv season. if you haven't seen it sink your teeth into it and rent it.

 and here's a peak at season 2 beginning thursday september 9.

 

My Emmy Score Card

i got aaron paul, byran cranston, edie falco, archie panjabi and jane lynch.

after 5 noms kyra sedgwick finally won for her brilliant brenda lee johnson on 'the closer' so i had no problems losing that one. julianna will be up there soon enough.

hate that 'glee' didn't win but another show with good gay characters, modern family' winning is a plus.

but why doesn't the academy see that matthew morrison can do EVERYTHING!

congrats to all.

Sandra Bullock Marks Fifth Anniversary of Katrina

NEW ORLEANS — Oscar-winning actress Sandra Bullock has returned to a New Orleans high school she adopted after Hurricane Katrina to help open a health clinic there.

Bullock's appearance Sunday coincided with the fifth anniversary of the storm that devastated coastal Louisiana and Mississippi. She joined a host of politicians, educators and school supporters for the clinic's ribbon-cutting ceremony.

The free, full-service medical and dental clinic is scheduled to open in the fall. It is yet another place Bullock has left her mark at Warren Easton Charter High School. She's previously donated money to help restore Easton, which is the city's oldest public high school.

The school was swamped when Katrina and the subsequent flooding swept up to nine feet of water into its buildings.

'Army Wives Season 4 Scorecard gets an A Because the Season Finale Gets A+

this show is about life. army life. life has it's ups and downs. no one's life is an A. army life probably even less so. the show itself almost got a B+ for this past season but the finale lifted it higher as they say.

the show always shares the time equally between the wives. and it did so in the finale.

yet the night belonged to kim delaney and katelyn pippy playing mother and daughter respectively. they went beyond the norm acting the hell out of the script with raw emotion. brava to the both of them!
they are the best actress and supporting actress of summer 2010

'Royal Pains': Second Season Score Card: A

 'royal pains' rates an A with it's season finale. it lost it's A status awile back with the casting of anastasia griifith as emily peck who we were spared from in the seasonal finale but was talked about. so is she gone? we'll see. 

but all of the following lead to it's regaining it's A status.

the missing ms. griffith.

the season finale brought christine ebersole back and that's worth a thousand points.

brooke d'orsay as evans gf seems to be becoming recurring. worth at least 750 points.

and then surprise surprise in walks the wonderful, talented and beautiful rena sofer. it looks like she could be recurring. worth 1500 points. she is always welcome into my living room. nonono i have not switched. i'm still happily and proudly gay.

the four series regulars mark feuerstein,  paolo costanzo, jill flint and reshma shetty continue to brighten a summer night.
