Review: CBS Hawaii Five-0 - HitFix.com
Review: CBS Hawaii Five-0 - HitFix.com
I have no idea how old Mr. Sepinwall is, but even a cursory glance at the original episodes bears out O'Loughlin's likely interpretation of McGarrett. But rather than stiff, I prefer to think of the original MaGarrett as dogged and cocksure of his job. If they ensure that some of the doggedness is mixed in with the action-movie motif unfortunately now in vogue, they will be fine. If not it will be five and aloha!

Oliver Stone Making Travis McGee?
Oliver Stone Making Travis McGee?
OK, so I was a little disappointed that Leo won't be making the Sinatra film right away. But at least it might give Martin Scorsese a chance to see past his surrogate son and maybe cast either Hugh Jackman or Sinatra stylist Steve Lippia.
And in Travis McGee, DiCaprio has finally found his way off Mount Method, and the one-for-the-studio- and-one-for me style which is now the law of the jungle in Hollywood. As long as they don't sissy up McGee. or wife-and-kids him to death, I'll be happy.

Surprise, David Letterman! Joaquin Phoenix Meltdown Was a Crock
Surprise, David Letterman! Joaquin Phoenix Meltdown Was a Crock
I knew it! The only thing that surpriesed me was that it didn't take 10 to 20 years to come out, like the Andy Kaufman-Jerry Lawlor 1982 feud.

Movie Talk: No Tights, No Tuxedo: Eastwood Reveals He Passed on Iconic Roles
As I write this, I am watching the documentary The Eastwood Factor, and am amazed at how humbly and gently he treats his costume designer on a tour of his costumes when she refers to his film Unforgettable. What a class act.

OK, one more King thing. Hope Castle Rock's involved somehow. This has them written all over it.

We'll Have A Gay Old Time!!!
I was thinking of the Flintstones theme when I wrote that subject line.
But you don't believe me, do you?
Such is the nature of today's society that the words gay, nuts, and cock (defined as a male rooster, hence the cock-a-doodle-doo, I guess) bring nothing but snickers and grins these days.
This point was brought home to me earlier this summer when I was at the Royal Alberta Museum for their weekly Monday classic film. Incidentally, the Museum is the other place in Edmonton where you can see a classic film on a big screen for five bucks, thanks to the Edmonton Film Society. I'll post a schedule tonight.
As is their custom, at a screening of the 1953 Esther Williams starrer Easy to Love, the Society showed a trailer for the next week's film, the 1949 Frank Sinatra-Gene Kelly classic On The Town. Emblazoned in text near the end is the following:
More Gay Than Anchors Aweigh!
Snickers and grins oh my!
The EFS has been bringing classic films to Edmontonians of all generations for over 60 years.

A gift for all movie buffs from the fine folks at Cineplex. Just the other day, I was remarking to a friend that there was almost no way to see films on a big screen and discuss them afterward, as a young collegiate named Roger Ebert was wont to do in '60's Illinois.
Now we have the chance to see Casablanca, Psycho, The Maltese Falcon, and so many more. Twice a month, at Edmonton's North Edmonton Cinemas, for a full year.
And for only 5 dollars. You can't beat that!
See you there!
