Entourage (2004)
Our Mean Streets,Saturday Night Fever,and Swingers
Mean Streets and Saturday Night Fever told the tale of how 1970's kids grew up. They showed a group of friends who partied with each other. Swinger's is a great example of a struggling actor's life and a night on the town. Another example's will be Knocked Up and Hanging with The Homeboys. Yet to see a example of great parody of our boys. You know the guy's we hang out with. Until I see Entourage.
Entourage is more than just an actor and his buddies hanging out and getting laid. It's an understanding of friendship. Anyone can love a family member. But can we show that same affection to a friend.
Based on The Chronicles Of Mark Wahlberg. Vince Chase is a rising actor who he and his buddies explore the Hollywood lifestyle. Vince's agent Ari Gold is a manipulative business man who seems to want the best for Vince. Ari played by Jeremy Piven. Most say Piven is the highlight of the Series.
Entourage is all of our friends in a way. The successful one, The Fat one, The annoying one, The heartbreak kid, and that guardian type figure. I compare it to those films because in a society where there is a lot of cheating and stealing. Entourage is the only legit show/movie that show's authentic life today. It's more a pop culture show than a regular series.
Hangin' with the Homeboys (1991)
Great Movie that Shows the other side friendship
We have all seen Mean Streets,Swingers,Entourage. This movie is on the same lines as that. Hanging With The Homeboys show's us what we look like on our Friday and Saturdays Nights. How we talk to woman. How we argue amongst ourselves. How we drink.
Johnny,Fernando aka Vinny,Willie,and Tommy all resemble at least of our friends. Johnny is the profound insecure young man who is desperate for love. Fernanod aka Vinny is a ladies man who tricks woman to go out with him for there money only to go out and meet more women. Willie is a man who is always feeling discriminated against, he also the peasant one of gang. And finally Tommy. Tommy dreams big and super stardom. Somehow he will make it big.
The description of the characters not only fit our friends but ourselves. Hanging With The Homeboys is almost The Guys Night Out Bible. When you feel lonely on a Friday Night pop in Hanging With The Homeboy either that or Porn.
Lonely Hearts (2006)
Most underrated film of 2007
Lonely Hearts is a film about Two Detective (Travolta,Gandolfini) tracking down to killer (Hayek,Leto) who are new found lovers. Ray Fernandez a gigolo robbing cash. Meets Martha from his career criminal status and the two of them form a deadly combo. Detective Robinson and Detective Hildenbrandt are looking for the killers.
Lonely Hearts is so underrated. The film was packed with little performances from underrated actors. Travolta in the lead was great,his best role since Pulp Fiction. James Gandolfini shows promise as an actor and he is great. His role shows him as one of the guys unlike his role as Tony Soprano. Heyek is the real standout. Salma Heyek brings the evil out of the character,but at the end you feel terrible for. Jared Leto was the best of the four. A rising star. And only adding Scott Caan was plus.
Lonely Hearts show the audience that we don't need a star studded cast to watch a great movie. The movie was rightly casted. Paul Robinson played tribute to his father with Lonely Hearts. Well he did him right.
Eastern Promises (2007)
The Best Gangster Epic since Goodfelllas
Viggo Morensens performance was the best all year. But not only Viggos performance was authentic. Watts delivers a unforgettable role, along with Casell and Stahl.
With a Godfather feel to the film. Eastern Promises overthrows gangster epic The Departed and was a lot better than American Gangster. A movie that should of been Oscar Worthy. And personally speaking the best Gangster Film since Scorsese's Goodfellas.
Who ever is a fan of the genre should give Eastern Promises a try. A gangster film with this quality come's once a few years. Croenberg did a very good job showing the audience the realistic look on Russian Mob life. Also Vincent Cassel performance resembles Joe Pesci in Goodfellas, he plays a crazy gangster who's father is the boss of the family. Eastern Promise's promises a great story and a great movie.
