Matt Damon and Vincent Chase

Here's a behind the scenes look of Matt Damon directing Vincent Chase on the set of Entourage for the finale. Seem's like Damon is channeling his inner Christian Bale

Review episode 11 Scared Straight

Sorry about the delay of my review, been a busy week and I've been fighting a cold. Anyways I hope you guys enjoyed episode 11, I thought it was great. What I love about this show is the dramatic element, and I feel that this show can work better as a drama with comedic elements instead of the other way around.

Anyways last nights episode was my second favourite episode of this season, unfortunately this season has been less than stellar and hasn't really gone anywhere in terms of overall story arcs. The last episode was packed with many arcs, some being resolved, others just starting, and one that having a new catalyst added to it and will most likely progress into the next season.

Where to start off, well let's start with Vince. He's preparing for his next movie, starring in an Enzo Ferrari biopic, by having sex with some nurse in the pool. What a life to live, lol. I was hoping there would be an arc for him this season like last year, but nothing has really happened with him. I think it would have been more appropriate for him to have an STD scare.

Turtle and Jamie Lynn's relationship met its first obstacle as she left to New Zealand for her new acting gig. We get to see Jerry work a dramatic scene for once on this show and I thought he did great. Of all the actors on this show I think his acting has improved greatly. Lastly, as I saw the preview for the finale, I hope they don't cop out and make Turtle cheat on Jamie with that chic from College.

The E storyline was great as it's probably been on our mind from watching these guys score tons of women on this show. It was bound to happen, but I figured it would have been Vince to have an Std scare before E. Kevin Connolly performed well and showed us his comedic side, it worked well for his character.
Look out! Look out! It seems we're in for another E romance, lol. After realizing that playing the feild may not be right for him, E plans on winning Sloan back. Will E pop the question, even though she has stated that she's in a relationship with someone. Who knows maybe we'll see a wedding Hollywood style on this show in future seasons, it's the only thing that hasn't been done.

It looks like Drama is done with the acting world, for awhile at least, as a result of his health scare.
I wonder if we'll see Drama try his luck behind the camera as a screen writer or director. Before this season started I was hoping for Drama to be nominated for an Emmy or something. I think his character deserves it. Who knows what's in store for him next season

Seems like Miller Gold Agency is going to acquire Terrances company which is bad news for llyod. I'm not sure how this will turn out, but I'd like to see some direct competition agency style between Lloyd and Ari.

The title of episode 11 was appropriate, and worked well to demonstrate the theme of tonight episode -- characters being shaken to their cores as a result of everyday issues. Next week tune in as the finale will have guest appearances from Matt Damon, Lebron James, and I think lil Wayne or Danica Patrick.

Should be great

Entourage - Berried Alive

Although I haven't enjoyed this season so far, last nights episode was pretty good, in terms writing, acting, and the story. I believe that once the season is over, people should rewatch the episodes and they might sing a different tune. At first, I disliked a lot of the episode of Season 5, but when I rewatched the whole season my feelings changed...you can appreciate when they start to build story lines and reevaluate foreshadows when given.

Entourage S06E10 - Berried Alive('Berried' because of the Black Berry, some people are dim)

Where to start...

Well, previously on Entourage...after years of torment, withstanding degrading insults and with no guarantee that a job will come out of the hazing, Lloyd left Ari for 'Greener Pastures'. Those pastures happen to be at Ari's old place, the agency owned by Terrance...and managed by Ari's nemesis -- Adam Davies(whom I love, the scenes with him and Ari are Gold!(sorry for the Pun). Its a shock to all, especially Ari who had no idea until Vince told him, and his new agenda is to skull fuck Lloyd and screw him out of the Agency world ala 'Josh Weinstein style'(Busey and the Beach)

Die! Die! Die! And when you're gagging on Davies balls, I want you to bite down so he can die too! - Ari Gold

What was great about this episode is the battle between Ari and Lloyd for Drama, which he loves as he's always been dying for an agent to represent him and now he has two. After hearing about an opening for Melrose 2009, Drama decides its time to abandon ship and leave Five Towns.

As a result Ari and Lloyd battle it out 'Agent style' and as it seems like Ari wins with a tremendous knockout, Lloyd dusts himself off and stands up with a quick jab of sincere passion. Rex Lee delivered a great performance this episode, and acted his heart out.

"Johnny, you've been my one client for over two years and I will continue to treat you like you're my only client for the rest of your career. Will Ari? I will be devastated if I lose you Johnny Drama. You think Ari will even care? I believe in your talent. Does Ari? Or does he want you because he doesn't want to piss off Vince? Or does he want you just so he can piss me off? This is the first day of the rest of your life. What do you want?" - Lloyd to Drama.

His speech was great and convinced Drama that Ari isn't the right guy to help navigate his career, Drama jumps ship(whats with all the ship metaphors)and sticks with his 'half an agent', correction his new full time agent. Kevin Dillon was in true form today and I believe its because of the writing, when the writing is flawless, Dillon performs like a rock star.

Ding Dong the Bitch is Gone! Finally E leaves his 'Skeletor of a girlfriend' Ashley...with input from his assistant and Vince & Co., E comes to his senses and realizes how crazy, possessive, and untrustworthy she was. The breakup scene was great, as it demonstrates how nice of a guy E really is...he never raised his voice or retorted insults('crazy bitch') comes to mind back at Ashley. I pray to Zeus and the other gods that this story arc is finally closed and finished off. I'm not sure if I'd like to see Sloan back back right away, but since this season has been heavy with Emmanuelle Chriqui its likely to happen -- bet the house. But I would like to see more stories of E working at the management company. All we ever tend to see is his office, but no work being done.

Other side plots, well...it seems like there will be trouble in paradise for Turtle as Jamie gets a job out of the country. I'm not a fan of this storyline, as its pretty predictable -- It was going to go either two ways, Turtle dumps Jamie then tries to go for the college girl but ends up failing once he becomes a 'nobody' again, or Jamie having to leave and we being stuck with probable scenes of 'Long Distance Relationship'

We also learn that Vince is a really bad driver, and ends up driving on the other side of the road(on a small street) when he goes to pick up Turtle. Vince needs a story line...hell, he needs more face to face time with Ari, start the god damn Enzo Ferrari film. The best thing about Entourage(IMO) is the background production or on set scenes, those are the area the 'average Joe' doesn't have the liberty to be apart of.

Would love to hear your thoughts.
