Rescue Me

What do I hate about Rescue Me? There would only be one thing that I can’t stand about this show and that’s the fact that I absolutely can’t talk about it with any of my girlfriends because they absolutely refuse to watch it. Me? Well they had me at firemen but when you add Denis Leary in to the mix with his bad ass attitude and (ladies if there are any of you out there you will inevitably agree) those smouldering bad boy looks, well I’m ready to settle in and watch season after season on DVD.

Who doesn’t envy Tommy Gavin’s blunt, in your face, I do it my way or no way so fuck you attitude? It could be that combined with the insane amount of sex that these men seem to get throughout the season that turn away the female watchers but that’s not about to deter me, in fact i’m settling in to catch up on this season and I suggest that you get caught up as well.

Just for good measure here’s a little eye candy from the series so if my thrilling review didn’t lure you in perhaps this will…

For the girls Denis Leary as Tommy Gavin

For the boys Callie Thorne as Sheila Keefe

I have always had a hard time with Will Smith movies, the thing is that I love him, he is an amazingly talented actor but I am almost always left with a feeling that something was missing from his movies or that something unnecessary to the storyline distracted from the plot – a la dying dog in ‘I Am Legend.’ These things being what they are, however, do not distract from the fact that I love to watch Will Smith in action because he is so flexible and just too damn talented not to watch and this movie was no exception.

Prepare yourself for a few bouts of tears from your lady friend, or perhaps a few “dust in my eye” moments from yourself as you embark upon an amazing journey with Smith’s character through something so heart wrenching that words would do it absolutely no justice.

The concept of the movie was great, what you would consider true to life…although Rosario Dawson (AKA Latina Angelina Jolie) on the brink of death via heart failure would perhaps not find the ability to have sex with her new friend the “tax man”, but the implication did add to the ‘aww’ factor at the end of the film so it wasn’t completely redundant.

I recommend checking this one out for the sheer humanity factor of it but if you’re the sort of guy who is prone to “dust in my eye” syndrome find a quiet corner to watch this one in because it’s damn sure gonna make you cry.

Sorry guys there were no nudie scenes in the movie, it’s definitely not that sort of movie, but I can oblige with a couple of shots of the gorgeous stars for the guys and the gals out there.

Weeds Season 5

I am guilty of watching Weeds since the very first day it aired and despite the insanely, edge of your seat, scream at the tv, awful situations this brunette vixen finds herself in I still find myself glued to the TV and unable to turn away.

What gets me most about Weeds? Besides the fact that it’s centered around a gorgeously sexy female lead character who owns her life, it stands out considerably from any other plot on TV. Where else can you find a single mom who makes her living selling weed so she doesn’t have to give up her lifestyle. Granted it’s not the legal thing to do but if we could all do it and get away with it you know we would.

Now just for fun, check out this pic of Mary Louise Parker, I’d love to give credit where it’s due but I have no idea where this pic came from it was simply e-mailed to me by a friend.
