I had a chance to chat with Coppola (son of legendary Godfather helmer Francis) last week for the MovieFilm Podcast, and here are some highlights from our conversation.
2013 has barely begun, and it is already shaping up to be the year of the anti-gay non-apology. We've got bad-boy actor Charlie Sheen, then we've got Fantasia Barrino, and last but certainly not least, we have President Obama's apparently favored choice for Secretary of Defense, Chuck Hagel.
How can children these days avoid being infected with this "disease" when, thanks to the wired world they live in, the majority of messages they receive venerate and encourage narcissism?
Following an impressive filmography, Jay's favorite project he's ever worked on has been developing his "Mohr Stories" podcast, which is approaching its 100th episode. He's entertained guests ranging from Rufus Wainwright and Charlie Sheen to his own priest.
Her wastrel uncle abdicated. Her son divorced the most popular member of the royal family -- besides herself -- and now, her grandson, after dressing like a Nazi, is photographed nude at party in Las Vegas. Will she finally give up the throne to Charles and Camilla?
For anyone who has ever wanted a second chance at love with the same partner, Hope Springs starring a midwestern couple played by Meryl Streep (Kay) and Tommy Lee Jones (Arnold), is your movie.
No lie, I wanted to bash 'Anger Management' to pieces. Itty-bitty pieces. Unfair, yes, but I have to admit, Charlie Sheen's pretty great in it.
Charlie is Charlie. Don't try to make sense of anything he says, because mostly it doesn't. And he knows it. Is it BS or the real deal or some wild combination of the two, which seems to be working for him.
For me, Anger Management is a definite win, and if you give it a chance, I think it will provide plenty of laughs -- a great way to manage your anger!
"Anger Management" is lucrative spin control disguised as a lazy, unfunny comedy. Charlie Sheen is doing something for himself and his corporate partners. He's being paid to play a character who achieves some kind of personal growth.
This is the article, titled "Still Crazy After All These Years" that reports on a week "on the edge with Hollywood's last wild man." It is just full of fascinating details and concludes that Charlie, after his recent public acting out, "has never gotten a conventional grip on his personal life."
I'm not trying to dump on some of my newscasting brethren, but there were a couple of doozies over the weekend.
Actress Lindsay Lohan today announced that she and several other prominent addicts have partnered to form "Prehab," a boutique academy devoted to helping individuals who do not have drug, alcohol or sex problems gain entry to the most exclusive rehabilitation facilities in the world.
My regular red carpet crusader, and Couples Therapy housemate, Chef Chris Nirschel and I teamed up once again to bowl with FX Network's A-Team at Lucky Strike Lanes. The Thursday night bowling league never looked so good!
This week the hoodie replaced the Etch A Sketch as the most talked about item in the news media, with Geraldo Rivera standing by his outrageous comments and Rep. Bobby Rush illegally rocking one in Congress.
The comedic gags with spilled ashes and a dancing corpse are one thing. They are meant to be humorous. However, we should remember the ethic of respecting the dead.
