The fallout from Medellin continued as Vince learned that Hollywoods patience with him has begun to wane in the face of his disastrous career choices Despite a new work ethic that includes actually reading scripts Vinces time on the beach has cost him in more than just tangible assets His once shiny rising star is now casting a little less glow and he is learning that for the first time he is going to have to really commit to playing the game to gain back his movie star status While Ari rarely emits a warm and fuzzy glow I was a little surprised by his bluntness in assessing Vinces prospects especially on his golf outing with Marky Mark Yes that was Entourage executive producer Mark Wahlberg dropping by to offer some real-life star power to the proceedings But as requested by Vince Ari does give it to him straight telling him that by not playing the game and refusing to be part of the process Vince has alienated himself Ar

It's been too long fellas, but it was good to have you back!After nearly two seasons of trying to get it made and then trying to get it sold, “Medellin” turned out to be pretty much what we all expected it would be—an unmitigated, “over-acted, under-directed” disaster. The “Hindenburg of a screening” was apparently just a precursor to the film’s critical drubbing, including a nasty personal attack on Vince by Richard Roeper, alleged former frat brother of Ari and current persona non grata at the Miller Gold Agency.And now, it seems that Vince has fallen on tough times—that is, if you define tough times as living a carefree life on the beach in Mexico having sex with multiple, beautiful women, jet-skiing and doing his best Jim Morrison impression. I have to laugh when pampered, reality-deprived Vince makes a statement like, “Life is not all about making money and movies…at least mine isn’t.” He is completely oblivious ...

This season of Lost has been so consistently entertaining and emotionally satisfying that my expectations for tonight were way beyond high I almost knew going in that there was no way that Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse could live up to them As is often the case with this show my instincts were dead wrong The very first scenes tonight provided a much-needed link back to the game-changing events that kick-started the entire Oceanic 6 storyline this time a year ago I loved that the action picked up right where we left off as Jack screamed at Kates car She actually stopped went back and let him have it reminding him that his abandonment of Aaron and his drug-fueled stupor were certainly hurting his credibility It was at this point that we first heard the name Jeremy Bentham identified by Kate as the mystery man in the coffin It was only after I did some research on the web that I was able to figure out well before the final shot who Jeremy Bentham would turn out to

As the final moments of tonights episode unspooled accompanied by the stirring music of Michael Giacchino I could barely stand the suspense as we watched all of our favorite core characters positioning themselves or being positioned for the battle to come All of the pieces are falling into place for what is sure to be a mind-blowing finale in two weeksAs the episode began with a flash forward we saw the homecoming of the recently-saved Oceanic Six In the back of a military cargo plane they got their stories aligned and prepped for the onslaught of questions to come deciding that their collective shock would be their best defense against probing queries for which they had no answers Jack continued to play the role of leader rallying his troops though it seemed as though his credibility was already beginning to wane at this point his typical heroic demeanor in some way offset by a touch of desperation It was bittersweet and emotionally satisfying to see each of the

How do I save the island Apparently that was the question that needed to be asked and now Locke has received his directionmove the island Who was giving the orders you ask Not Jacob but Christian Shephard For months now Ive been thinking that Jacobwhoever or whatever he iswas using Christians corpse as a vessel And yet tonight when John met up with him in the cabin Christian came right out and introduced himself So is he dead An apparition And why does Claire seem so freaking calm after having effectively abandoned Aaron in the jungle Is she dead I have to admit that the first half of this episode left me pretty cold but things certainly heated up in the last 20 minutes I think my issue is that I am still not feeling the freighter angle or Michaels re-entry into the fray And frankly with the exception of Frank who appears for now to have good intentions the freighter folk havent given us much to like Case i

Im not even sure where to begin From the signature eye-opening shot at the beginning to Sawyers impassioned cries for Claire at the end tonights episode intrigued confused and frustrated me It also left me emotionally exhausted and thoroughly succeeded in reintroducing some things I had forgotten And as always it created more questions than answers Lets start with Matthew Fox in a towel Not bad Not bad at all Anyone else as excited as me to see him in Speed Racer I pretty much knew who he was co-habitating with as soon as he tripped on the childs toy in the kitchen As much as I like Jack and Kate on the island it felt disconcerting to see them living a life of domestic bliss Or Heaven as Hurley would later refer to it It wasnt just that I half expected to see Kate scamper out the fancy French doors to shimmy up a tree or follow a blood trail though that was certainly part of it It was also the underlying melancholy that seem
