Entourage

By janaki@symmetrypictures.com (Janaki Cedanna) 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 . . .

By janaki@symmetrypictures.com (Janaki Cedanna) 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 finale (already?) in which Ari's original nemesis Terrance pops in to talk business. All the while E suddenly turns into a player and Drama has what he believes to be a heart attack from being wound so tightly. This episode works because the one weakness this season has is that Ari has become a mean-spirited bully instead of the neurotic control freak we know and love.   [read the full post]

By janaki@symmetrypictures.com (Janaki Cedanna) 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 Damon to go off on him by swearing and cursing with Jeremy Piven in full-on Ari Gold mode nervously pacing in the background. Matt Damon is an ambassador for the real One x One charity that helps children around the world in poverty. The news has already been announced that Damon playing himself on Entourage, guilts Vince into donating money to charity and the wor...   [read the full post]

By janaki@symmetrypictures.com (Janaki Cedanna) Security Briefs" was one of those episodes that will either piss off the die hard fans or make them laugh hysterically over the antics of Johnny Drama. I'm somewhere in between. On one hand seeing Drama walk around in "out to make Drama's life a living hell courtesy of Dan Cokley" acid make up was extremely clever and down right funny the scenes with Ari and Lloyd were the polar opposite. It was pretty hard to watch, not to mention painfully unfunny and uncomfortable. Why is Ari Gold so angry? Vince is doing great, Andrew has righted himself by signing Aaron Sorkin and he just stole Zac Efron away from his nemesis Adam Davies. What gives? At best this is a throwaway episode that had some very funny moments but no real cohesion.   [read the full post]

By janaki@symmetrypictures.com (Janaki Cedanna) Let me start out by saying that this episode of Entourage is the best one all season. It had it everything, funny scenes, great dialogue and above all good acting from everyone. Including Arnold the dog. I was worried that creator Doug Ellin would let me down by making the whole Drama apology painful but it was very well written and I laughed more times during this episode than I have all season. This episode called"No More Drama" featured some notable performances from a foul mouthed Bob Saget and a smarmy Scott Caan. From the opening scene the show hit the ground running and never let up once. There was a deaf Arnold, a Vince stalker, a tough Johnny Drama and E learning how to walk.   [read the full post]

By janaki@symmetrypictures.com (Janaki Cedanna) Now this is what I've been talking about. This episode should have been called "The Real Drama" as the REAL Johnny Drama finally showed up. Neurotic, insecure and susceptible to suggestion, Drama can still be a threatening psychopath when he wants to be. And that's just the way I like it. This episode called "Murphy's Lie" is the official mid-point this season and with only 6 episodes left it's about time Entourage gets rolling. The last two episodes lost track of what makes the show great. Friendship, and loyalty. Of course it never hurts when the guys are put into funny situations and they just react. That's the basis of great comedy. Janaki Cedanna Click Here for Full Review on TV Fodder - Entourage: Murphy's Lie - Review   [read the full post]

By janaki@symmetrypictures.com (Janaki Cedanna) After a strong start to it's sixth season, Entourage has stumbled a bit nearing the midway point. Tonight's episode called Fore! left nearly all the character development it had earned in the dust. And what's with Johnny Drama? He's going south in a hurry. His insecurities were hilarious when he got zero respect and couldn't get a job but now he's just plain mean. Especially after last weeks fiasco when he had the nerve to ask Turtle to get Jamie-Lynn to agree to be his love interest on Five Towns. That was just plain wrong on so many levels and was completely out of character for such a loyalist like Drama.

By janaki@symmetrypictures.com (Janaki Cedanna) Forget all your preconceptions, this show is centered around little ole Eric Murphy. The second episode of the sixth season of Entourage, aptly entitled Amongst Friends is a pretty good barometer of the direction the show is heading. As Vince and the boys get ready to attend the premiere of Gatsby all of them are scrounging around for dates, except Turtle who appears to have a rock solid relationship with Jamie-Lynn Sigler. I just can't imagine she will stick around for long if Turtle, aka Sal, doesn't get his act together and come up with a solid life plan, right?

By Janaki Cedanna(janaki@symmetrypictures.com) The 9th episode this season of Entourage was split right down the middle into two distinct storylines. In one, we finally get to see Vince act again but this time we see him working his way up and the other shows Ari confronting his past. The constant of these two stories is that decisions made today will have a profound impact on the future, not just in the character development but in the direction of the show itself. Fans might not like this episode or dismiss it as filler because there isn't much humor and there were absolutely zero hot girls, but I think this may be the most pivotal episode all year . . .

By janaki@symmetrypictures.com (Janaki Cedanna) In what could be the best episode ever in the history of the show, Vince gets fired and Turtle gets some lovin! NEWSFLASH as Turtle's real name is FINALLY revealed. Wow. I mean wow, what an amazing episode. Simply put, I believe this is the best episode in the history of the show, hand's down. The 2nd to the last episode (and bar far the longest) of the incredible 5th season of Entourage had many twists and turns and so many fireworks I almost couldn't believe what was happening before my eyes. My brain nearly exploded with all that happened . . . Janaki Cedanna Check Out My Full Review at Entourage Fodder!   [read the full post]
