Back to the basics

Ok, I know I'm suppose to talk about the entertainment industry, so I will do just that.

Zac Efron- Sexy right? Ok, i'll admit that. But he is no Brad Pitt. My sister claims that he is the next Brad. Lets see...imagine skinny, pretty, weak Zac Efron playing roles in movies like Fight Club, Troy, Snatch, Inglorious Basterds? Can you imagine little Zac getting a bunch of disturbed jews pumped up to go out and slaughter Nazi's, then scalping them? I don't think so. Ya, that's right Zac, I saw your last movie, you sailed boats, you are still a weak Disney boy to me. I was disappointed to say the least. Not the best foot forward to start your movie career with. Advise, get a new agent. P.S you spell your name stupid. (I was hoping Liz walked in on me googling that pic, It would have made for a great scenario)


INCEPTION- Best movie of the year, not that it has had too much competition(honestly can you think of any other good movies this year?). Leo did play pretty much the same role he did in Shutter Island (wife baggage) but he did awesome as usual. He has to be the best actor around these days. My wife Liz thought Ellen Page(Juno chick) was bad casting. I thought she did good with the role, not a tough role or anything, but she did good. Although she caught on to the whole "designing dreams" idea in the movie too quickly, but not too quickly to not suspend my disbelief. Cool movie, awesome cinematography, and cool directing(Christopher Nolan). He chooses his films wisely and does awesome every time (Dark Knight, Memento, Prestige ext...

Movies I need to see: Toy Story 3, The Expendables(dumb looking but oh well), The Town, I'm still here(joaquin phoenix documentary), Scott Pilgrim, just some off the top my head.

Industry disappointments(besides Zac): Steven Spielberg. To think this man made movies like Schindlers List then a decade later do Transformers? Then destroy Indiana Jones rep with the 4th movie of that series. C'mon Steve, your HBO series are great, but your movies suck lately.
Johnny Depp: When was the last time you saw this dude in a good movie? Talent wasted.

I hailed Leo as the greatest actor of our time - this was back in 1996. I have an eye for talent, and I'm telling you, give Zac 7-10 years.

Also, Steven Spielberg didn't do Transformers - that was Micheal Bay.
