Grizzly Man Review

A lot of movies have been making their way to me via FedEx, Grizzly Man is one of these movies. I know people who know Werner Herzog and they say that I BELONG in one of Werner's films. I have always enjoyed his anti-Hollywood approach to making films and instantly knew that I would like Grizzly Man. I was able to watch a film by myself without the extras, or body doubles, or B-actresses that are running through my trailer like a fast food drive through. I've grown very tired trying to explain the complexities of acting and film making to these beautiful girls, so once in a while it's nice to curl up to a bottle of 30 year old Irish Whiskey and just watch a man's movie.

Transporter 2 Review

Don't ever let anybody tell you that acting is easy. The picture that I'm working on isn't exactly a blockbuster, but I also wouldn't consider it to be low budget. My trailer is adjacent to the dining cart and also right next to the body double for the lead actress. There are actually two doubles for this actress and I'm honest when I say that either one of the doubles could easily replace the lead. I could easily be thrown off the project for saying this, but that's just how I handle my business.

As it turns out, I had the two doubles (get it?) over for some tequila shots and we ended up drinking the whole bottle. Now, one of these broads was in the Transporter 2 (I didn't even know there was a Transporter 1). Anyway, she insisted that we watch it and to my surprise, the karate was adequate. I won't even comment on the acting, but for around 8 minutes I was fairly impressed with some decent karate moves - For the other 69 minutes I was putting on some moves of my own.

2006 Oscar Nominations

The question that everybody has been asking me is not, "Who do you think will win for best picture?", but rather, "Are you going to the O's and if so, who are you taking?"

I really struggled with whom I might take to such an event (for the record, I have been to 6 Academy Awards celebrations), but that concern didn't last long because I have signed on to a new project that will require me to travel out of the country for the next few months. I will do my best to stay in touch with the fans and provide honest movie reviews through my blog.

Read though the list of Oscar nominees and tell me if I'm really missing anything.

Brokeback Mountain Review

Brokeback Mountain, also known as "The Gay Cowboy Movie", is more than just that. It is a story about love, cowboys, gay cowboy homos, and the homely women that love them. Before we go further, let me say that no heterosexual male should be seeing this movie except, of course, Hollywood A-Lister's such as myself as we need to see movies like this for the study of our craft.

Writing about this movie would be as much a waste of my time as actually seeing it. Instead of seeing it, I would recommend marrying a homely woman, getting her pregnant, and then go buckaroo in the mountains of Montana with your gay cowboy lover.

I have no problem with gays (some of my girlfriends are) or with cowboys, or with gay cowboys, but this movie just turns out to be a little too much gay cowboy rammed down your throat - so to speak.
