Just realized it's been three years since my last post. Whoops. Update: It's still hot in Phoenix! This is going to be a very interesting summer and I will give another update in 3-4 years. Look for it! Hahaha.

What do you get when a fun-loving and very narcissistic moviestar experiences a brush with death? You get a guy with lots of money with way too much time on his hands turning into an pseudo-spiritual adrenaline junkie. More clearly, you get the new Vincent Chase. The second episode in the seventh season of HBO's Entourage was called "Stunted" for a reason. Vincent Chase is a changed man, as it

he last season of AMC's critically acclaimed 'Mad Men' was full of shocking revelations, wild twists and flat-out amazing performances. Perhaps the most stunning was Kiernan Shipka, who plays Sally Draper, the eldest child of the unhappy Don and Betty Draper played by Jon Hamm & January Jones.Sally had a lot to deal with this past year. The death of her grandfather Gene, the JFK assassination

AMC's 'Mad Men' has been nominated for three Golden Globe Awards this year for Best Television Series - Drama, Jon Hamm for Best Performance by an Actor In A Television Series - Drama and January Jones for Best Performance by an Actress In A Television Series - Drama (gotta love those categories!)So will Mad Men continue it's streak of winning the Golden Globe for best Series as it has for the

HBO's 'Entourage' has been nominated for two Golden Globe Awards this year for Best Series, Musical or Comedy and for Jeremy Piven for Best Supporting Actor, Series, Miniseries or Movie but faces stiff competition from newcomers Glee and Modern Family.HBO once again leads all networks with 17 nominations and this year the Hollywood Foreign Press is breaking tradition by having a host for the

"I'm not going to let you break up this family" - Don DraperThe 3rd season finale of the gloriously decadent Mad Men has come and gone and let me tell you it's been one hell of a ride. I thought there was no way that after last weeks mind-numbingly and thought provoking episode show runner Matthew Weiner would be able to pull out another gem from his bag of tricks but I was completely and utterly

"The whole country's drinking!" - Pete Campbell.In the second to last episode of this superlative 3rd season of Mad Men so much happened it was difficult to think straight. If any one episode marks the end of innocence of the show, this was it. On top of the main story line there was Margaret's wedding, Pete's frustration and ultimate realization, Betty's epiphany and rejection of Don and Peggy's

"I can't trust you. I don't know who you are." Betty DraperWith only two episodes left in the stunningly intense 3rd season of Mad Men the show has reached a whole new level of tasty goodness. The show has always excelled at intricate and sometimes frustrating storytelling but as it's closing in on the finale all bets are off. We had confrontation, ghosts from the past (no, not Gene), tested

"My goodness Sally Draper, try not to take everything so personally" - Betty Draper.Crazy family members, lots of bedroom talk and secrets revealed is whatMad Men was all about tonight as the pace (and plot devices) picked up just in time for the home stretch. With only three episodes remaining the table is set for more than one massive showdown."The Color Blue" was another wonderfully crafted

"But what about the moon?" Conrad Hilton to Don Draper.Secret liaisons, unrequited love, miscommunication and filmmaking. These are the wonderful things that happened in the Mad Men universe, both in front of the camera and behind it.In a day that brought the news of the unfortunate firing of an Emmy winning writer, Matthew Weiner & Co. has delivered another gem (read about the firing here).

"You don't kiss boys, boys kiss you." - Mother of the year Betty Draper to little Sally.After all the explosive happenings on the last two episodes of Mad Menthere had to be some sort of let down, right? Wrong. Oh, how wrong. Even though the show didn't have any real "ah, ha!" moments it did comfortably settle into what makes this show great. Blank stares, people sleeping and characters being

The sixth season of Entourage has come and gone and what an epic season it was. Sure there were hits and misses along the way as the show struggled at times with direction but Drama and Turtle's "growth" were impressive, Ari and E's, not so much. Vince seemed to regress though . . .Clocking in at an unheard of 34 minutes, "Give a Little Bit" left some indelible images. Stick a fork in Turtle's

"Stop barging in here and infecting me with your anxiety." - Peggy OlsonSeedy motels, draft dodging drug users, wild sexual liaisons, secret meetings, solar eclipses and threats all took center stage on the latest episode of Mad Men. But wait there's more!After last weeks Tarantino-esque bloodbath comes "Lost" style flash forwards, minus the sound effects (thankfully!) It seems as though the

Tonight's episode was a throwback to the 1st season where Ari was beholden to Terrance, Drama was going on auditions and Vince was being Vince.This time around around in the more "grown up" sixth season of Entourage, writer Doug Ellin threw in a disease scare for E and Turtle losing his one true love. Did it work? Hell yeah, it worked."Scared Straight" has a great setup for next weeks season

Matt Damon is the King of the viral videos so it's not a surprise that a clip surfaced just two weeks away from his October 4th guest appearance on the season finale of Entourage.In this very funny and obviously fake video, Damon is directing Adrian Grenier in a promo for his favorite charity One x One and things get out of hand. Adrian has to only say 5 lines and he keeps messing up prompting

The 2009 Primetime Emmy Awards have come and gone and for the 3rd straight year AMC's critically acclaimed Mad Men won Outstanding Drama Series in the last award of the night. What an ending! It wasn't a major sweep as the show was nominated for 16 Emmy's for the 2nd year in a row but only managed to walk away with three statues. Besides Outstanding Drama the show won the following: Outstanding

If tonight's episode of Mad Men is an indication of the direction it's heading then look out Quentin Tarantino!Airing on the same night as the 2009 Primetime Emmy's may prove to be a mistake since this episode was truly amazing. It had everything you've come to expect from this award winning show like; great writing, funny situations, clever 60's references and wonderful acting by everyone. It

Tonight's episode of Entourage was a pleasant surprise. By now I should have known better than to doubt Doug Ellin's capabilities when he really puts his mind to it."Berried Alive" is an episode all Entourage fans should rally around as it actually featured the "guys against the world" theme that made us all fans in the first place. This time it featured girlfriends and Ari Gold as the outsiders

This weeks episode of Entourage had some surprising moments, some very good and some very bad. Just like in previous episodes this season, I was concerned when E's love life is a focus. Will he finally kick Ashley to the curb or will he shrug his shoulders and say "whatever" again? It's always a crapshoot."Security Briefs" was one of those episodes that will either piss off the die hard fans or

"Are you planning to give the baby the breast?" Betty's nurse.This episode had it all and much more; intrigue, funny one-liners, babies, hallucinations and late night cooking. Mad Men showed us the last few weeks that it can funny amidst all the turmoil and drama but this week showed it us something else. Motivated action!Not the usual kind of action mind you but the kind where everyone has a

"I can't think about that right now. If I do, I'll go crazy. I'll think about that tomorrow." - Scarlett O'Hara. I have always thought that Betty had some things in common with the famous title character of "Gone With the Wind" but tonight her father Gene actually made the comparison. Nicely done. In an episode that made me think that the writers of Mad Men finally let their guards down with a

After watching tonight's episode of Mad Men I was left with a strange feeling. Was it the social awkwardness seen in many of the characters? Or was it that nothing really happened to move the story along? Don't get me wrong I really liked this episode but in a different way that I liked the first two of the outstanding 3rd season. Maybe I was just hungry. Hmm."My Old Kentucky Home" kept with this
