Tommaso Movie Review! JM says, "It’s a sublime self-portrait brought to life by a headlining and award-worthy performance by Willem Dafoe."

Tommaso Movie Review! JM says, “It’s a sublime self-portrait brought to life by a headlining and award-worthy performance by Willem Dafoe.”

Always an adventurer, Willem Dafoe defies the odds once again with another exceptionally, entertaining and elevated performance. Abel Ferrara’s ferocious semi-autobiographical “Tommaso” is a meticulously mesmerizing performance of a tortured soul.

Filmmaker Tommaso (Willem Dafoe) is an American expat living in Rome with his young wife Nikki (Cristina Chiriac) and daughter Deedee (Anna Ferrara).…

Dancing with the Stars, Season 25, Recap #3

It’s difficult to attempt to be “funny” when there is a dark cloud and energy in the air. I’ve been horrified hearing about the terror attack in Las Vegas and Tom Petty’s cardiac arrest is a reminder that everyone I know/know of and love will die until I’m dead. I know this is a somber thought but as Tom Bergeron and Queen said ‘The Show Must Go On’, let’s just hope that a moment of silence followed by the glaring vocals of C.C & The Music Factory never happens again.

On a lighter note, and something that was completely overshadowed by the tragedies of the last 24 hours, Speidi had their baby. I am looking forward to seeing Spencer on Snapchat simultaneously hand feeding his baby and hummingbirds.

This week’s theme on Dancing with the Stars is “Guilty Pleasures”. Personally, I have no guilty pleasures because I proudly embrace all of the pop culture trash that I consume. Drew Scott danced an Argentine Tango to his favorite guilty pleasure, true crime shows. While I thought he still looked like a limp asparagus stomping on the dance floor, the judges seemed to like it - as they typically do with an Argentine Tango.

Derek Fisher danced the Cha Cha to the theme song from the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. This is a hard combo to begin with but Sharna and Derek made it fun, despite the odd dance/music matchup. I think it should have been a jazz number, but he seems to be improving and I would like him to stay on the show longer so I can see the various stages of Sharna’s vibrant red hair.

Victoria Arlen did a “nerdy” Quickstep to Chumbawomba’s “Thubthumpin” and has me wondering, how does anyone genuinely like this song in 2017? It wasn’t that her dance was bad, it was good considering that she can’t feel her legs, but the content was so cringeworthy with the nerd glasses and her over-enthusiasm about the song. I agree with Val, the song sucks but bullying is dumb and I hate that kids made fun of her for being in a wheelchair. Kids are the worst.

Vanessa Lachey is the kind of woman that would need a girl’s night, because she’s married to an over boiled brussel sprout. Can you blame her for wanting to go out with her ladies, drinking 3 martinis and grinding against a bunch of 22 year old frat boys at a club?? Vanessa and the troupe dancers in Sophomore year Homecoming dresses were so cute, her dance was good - she is a very skilled dancer.

I loved the romance novel book covers that Nikki Bella and Artem recreated. However, I am just so tired of men having to pretend like they don’t watch movies like 50 Shades of Grey. Come on Artem! You don’t need to protect your masculinity, no one cares if you watch romantic movies. Their Viennese Waltz was pretty racy, who knew that could be possible. Also, we were graced with the presence of Nikki Bella’s fiance, John… John Cena.

Frankie Muniz is a good dancer, and he was feeling his denim prince boy band fantasy. They even got Joey Fatone to come out of his mom’s basement to do a 5 second joke on Frankie’s package. Also, it turns out that the 98 Degrees member that looked like a dad in the late 90’s now looks like a dad with hypertension and a love of eating Wendy’s in his minivan and screaming into pillows.

Lindsey Sterling’s guilty pleasure is to stay in pajamas all day - THAT is a guilty pleasure that I can get behind. Her jive was so cute and I wish I could move my legs that fast or that sharp. I’m hoping that I’m not the only one that noticed how Paula Deen thought that Tom Bergeron was coming over to say hi, but he ended up greeting the people in front of her and her beautiful blue eyes filled up with tears.

Sasha Pieterse, my beautiful cherub angel, loves to bake. I don’t see how this is a guilty pleasure, baking takes a lot of patience and skills! Her jazz number was a little “off” but I think that she will be safe next week.

I don’t know what romantic comedy has a jazzercise routine, but I feel like Peta has found her calling as a jazzercise instructor, she was embodying that part! I guess Nick Lachey was fine too. I feel like Terrell Owens is on the brink of being good, but I don’t know if he’s going to have enough time on the show to develop those skills. Although, I don’t know what Cheryl was talking about him being a “3” at breakdancing, did you see those pop-locking skills? He’s got it!

I loved LOVED Jordan Fisher’s superhero themed Charleston. It was so fun and sharp! I’ll say it again, everyone go home and give him the mirror ball trophy. Good bye! Until next week!

Think of the people whose reputations they have tried to rehab. Ryan Lochte, Paula

Deen, Tom DeLay are a few.

https://nypost.com/2016/08/25/these-celebs-used-dancing-with-the-stars-to-save-their-reputations/

Dear Sasha: US OGMs in figure skating: Button ('48, '52), Albright ('56), H.A. Jenkins ('56), Heiss ('60), D. Jenkins ('60), Fleming ('68), Hamill ('76), Hamilton ('84), Boitano ('88), Yamaguchi ('92), Lipinski ('98), Hughes ('02), Lysacek ('10), Davis/White ('14). NO WHERE in this prestigious list is the disgraced name of Harding to be found, nor will it ever be. US figure skating was "on the map" four decades before Tonya defiled its reputation. Do some research, Sash.

He’s just defending his partner.

The dancing competition show, which will not see Len Goodman come back to sit at the judges’ table with Julianne Hough, Carrie Ann Inaba and Bruno Tonioli, will return with Tom Bergeron and Erin Andrews as co-hosts.

Dancing With the Stars revealed its season 21 celebrity-professional dancer pairings during Good Morning America on Wednesday. Celebrity chef and former cooking show host Paula Deen will make a return to television and try her feet at dancing for the fall season following her Food Network program cancelation in June 2013.

The absence of arms and legs didn’t stop him previously, and he remains the eternal optimist in the Mystery of the Mooil Rig. Now armed with a fortified exosuit, Brylcreem plays Colossus to the hero’s Wolverine, launching you toward key objectives, including a boss’ mouth. These scenes add thrilling forward movement; the more you hurtle at breakneck speeds, the more you want to keep going.

Welcoming these otherworldly guests is a new foursome comprising of two co-protagonists whose default names are Aurora and Luceus, the boisterous King Doric, and an skilled inventor named Isla. I have always admired the mainline series for defying traditional fantasy RPG party formations and archetypes and this new team could easily carry a mainline Dragon Quest installment. That’s a bold statement especially when Aurora and Luceus are two sides of the same coin. Their complementary personalities are best showcased during the cutscenes where your see Luceus’ analytical side and Aurora’s impatience to jump into battle. Aside from a momentary interlude where you’re forced to use one of the guest adventurers, you can have a wholly enjoyable time relying solely on these new characters while ignoring the rest of the roster.

It’s a varied cast where each warrior easily proves their worth over the course of a single battle. The only thing better than seeing 3D models of characters like Dragon Quest IV’s Alena and Kiryl is hearing them speak for the first time. Just as it was momentous to have voice acting in a Final Fantasy game in 2001 with Final Fantasy X, so too was the introduction of dialogue in Dragon Quest VIII ten years ago. Hearing much of the cast speak in English accents in Journey of the Cursed King created a rare connection to the Tolkienian roots of JRPGs. Having Yungus’ cockney accent reprised in Dragon Quest Heroes–by the original voice actor no less–only makes this reunion all the more special.

Such was the state of his mouth, that he could hardly speak; but mumbling something about his being willing and able to do what the captain.

This mingling of heroes from other worlds helps distract from the story’s laughably generic premise of light versus dark. Even the two co-leaders are named Children of the Light. The story starts off on an uncommonly cheerful note, even by Dragon Quest standards, where humans and monsters are happily co-existing. Due to a spell by a dark wizard named Velasco, the monsters are suddenly reminded that they’re supposed to hate humans. The ensuing chaos and unrest gives the game’s heroes more than enough to deal with, let alone reason to investigate why their non-human friends suddenly turned on them. It’s a good thing the story has its share of twists and guest character interactions to compensate for this otherwise plain narrative.

See the announced couple pairings below:

1. Actress Alexa PenaVega (Spy Kids) partnered with Mark Ballas

2. Singer-songwriter Andy Grammer partnered with Allison Holker

3. Crocodile Hunter Steve Irwin’s daughter/Australian actress/wildlife conservationist Bindi Irwin partnered with Derek Hough

4. Actor Carlos PenaVega (Big Time Rush) partnered with Witney Carson

5. 10-time Grammy-winner Chaka Khan partnered with Keo Motsepe

6. Oscar-nominated actor Gary Busey partnered with Anna Trebunskaya

7. Vine star Hayes Grier partnered with Emma Slater

Nor, perhaps, will it fail to be eventually perceived, that behind those forms and usages, as it were, he sometimes masked himself; incidentally making use of them for other and more private ends than they were legitimately intended to subserve. That certain sultanism of his brain, which had otherwise in a good degree remained unmanifested; through those forms that same sultanism became incarnate in an irresistible dictatorship. For be a man’s intellectual superiority what it will, it can never assume the practical, available supremacy over other men, without the aid of some sort of external arts and entrenchments, always, in themselves, more or less paltry and base. This it is, that for ever keeps God’s true princes of the Empire from the world’s hustings; and leaves the highest honours that this air can give, to those men who become famous more through their infinite inferiority to the choice hidden handful of the Divine Inert, than through their undoubted superiority over the dead level of the mass. Such large virtue lurks in these small things when extreme political superstitions invest them, that in some royal instances even to idiot imbecility they have imparted potency. But when, as in the case of Nicholas the Czar, the ringed crown of geographical empire encircles an imperial brain; then, the plebeian herds crouch abased before the tremendous centralization. Nor, will the tragic dramatist who would depict mortal indomitableness in its fullest sweep and direct swing, ever forget a hint, incidentally so important in his art, as the one now alluded to.

[blockquote author=”DALAI LAMA” pull=”normal”]A given kill has the potential to drop a medal version of that respective monster. With the medal, you can summon that monster as an ally.[/blockquote]

But the third Emir, now seeing himself all alone on the quarter-deck, seems to feel relieved from some curious restraint; for, tipping all sorts of knowing winks in all sorts of directions, and kicking off his shoes, he strikes into a sharp but noiseless squall of a hornpipe right over the Grand Turk’s head; and then, by a dexterous sleight, pitching his cap up into the mizentop for a shelf, he goes down rollicking so far at least as he remains visible from the deck, reversing all other processions, by bringing up the rear with music. But ere stepping into the cabin doorway below, he pauses, ships a new face altogether, and, then, independent, hilarious little Flask enters King Ahab‘s presence, in the character of Abjectus, or the Slave.

It is not the least among the strange things bred by the intense artificialness of sea-usages, that while in the open air of the deck some officers will, upon provocation, bear themselves boldly and defyingly enough towards their commander; yet, ten to one, let those very officers the next moment go down to their customary dinner in that same commander’s cabin, and straightway their inoffensive, not to say deprecatory and humble air towards him, as he sits at the head of the table; this is marvellous, sometimes most comical. Wherefore this difference? A problem? Perhaps not. To have been Belshazzar, King of Babylon; and to have been Belshazzar, not haughtily but courteously, therein certainly must have been some touch of mundane grandeur. But he who in the rightly regal and intelligent spirit presides over his own private dinner-table of invited guests, that man’s unchallenged power and dominion of individual influence for the time; that man’s royalty of state transcends Belshazzar’s, for Belshazzar was not the greatest. Who has but once dined his friends, has tasted what it is to be Caesar. It is a witchery of social czarship which there is no withstanding. Now, if to this consideration you superadd the official supremacy of a ship-master, then, by inference, you will derive the cause of that peculiarity of sea-life just mentioned.

Has Paula Deen Seen 'Get Out'?

Has Paula Deen Seen ‘Get Out’?

Paula Deen means different things to different people. To some, she’s the Food Network star who loves putting butter in all of her recipes. To others, she’s a former Dancing With The Stars contestant. And to more, she’s the controversial figure who was fired from her job because of racial slurs.

Paula called in to Kevin Klein Live this morning to promote her new show, Positively Paula. For most…

Nor, perhaps, will it fail to be eventually perceived, that behind those forms and usages, as it were, he sometimes masked himself; incidentally making use of them for other and more private ends than they were legitimately intended to subserve. That certain sultanism of his brain, which had otherwise in a good degree remained unmanifested; through those forms that same sultanism became incarnate in an irresistible dictatorship. For be a man’s intellectual superiority what it will, it can never assume the practical, available supremacy over other men, without the aid of some sort of external arts and entrenchments, always, in themselves, more or less paltry and base. This it is, that for ever keeps God’s true princes of the Empire from the world’s hustings; and leaves the highest honours that this air can give, to those men who become famous more through their infinite inferiority to the choice hidden handful of the Divine Inert, than through their undoubted superiority over the dead level of the mass. Such large virtue lurks in these small things when extreme political superstitions invest them, that in some royal instances even to idiot imbecility they have imparted potency. But when, as in the case of Nicholas the Czar, the ringed crown of geographical empire encircles an imperial brain; then, the plebeian herds crouch abased before the tremendous centralization. Nor, will the tragic dramatist who would depict mortal indomitableness in its fullest sweep and direct swing, ever forget a hint, incidentally so important in his art, as the one now alluded to.

[blockquote author=”DALAI LAMA” pull=”normal”]A given kill has the potential to drop a medal version of that respective monster. With the medal, you can summon that monster as an ally.[/blockquote]

But the third Emir, now seeing himself all alone on the quarter-deck, seems to feel relieved from some curious restraint; for, tipping all sorts of knowing winks in all sorts of directions, and kicking off his shoes, he strikes into a sharp but noiseless squall of a hornpipe right over the Grand Turk’s head; and then, by a dexterous sleight, pitching his cap up into the mizentop for a shelf, he goes down rollicking so far at least as he remains visible from the deck, reversing all other processions, by bringing up the rear with music. But ere stepping into the cabin doorway below, he pauses, ships a new face altogether, and, then, independent, hilarious little Flask enters King Ahab‘s presence, in the character of Abjectus, or the Slave.

So they began solemnly dancing round and round Alice, every now and then treading on her toes when they passed too close, and waving their forepaws to mark the time, while the Mock Turtle sang this, very slowly and sadly.

It is not the least among the strange things bred by the intense artificialness of sea-usages, that while in the open air of the deck some officers will, upon provocation, bear themselves boldly and defyingly enough towards their commander; yet, ten to one, let those very officers the next moment go down to their customary dinner in that same commander’s cabin, and straightway their inoffensive, not to say deprecatory and humble air towards him, as he sits at the head of the table; this is marvellous, sometimes most comical. Wherefore this difference? A problem? Perhaps not. To have been Belshazzar, King of Babylon; and to have been Belshazzar, not haughtily but courteously, therein certainly must have been some touch of mundane grandeur. But he who in the rightly regal and intelligent spirit presides over his own private dinner-table of invited guests, that man’s unchallenged power and dominion of individual influence for the time; that man’s royalty of state transcends Belshazzar’s, for Belshazzar was not the greatest. Who has but once dined his friends, has tasted what it is to be Caesar. It is a witchery of social czarship which there is no withstanding. Now, if to this consideration you superadd the official supremacy of a ship-master, then, by inference, you will derive the cause of that peculiarity of sea-life just mentioned.
