Farewell BSG

Thank you cast of Battlestar, for being one of the greatest assembled group of talented actors I've ever witnessed on a television series. And thank you Ronald Moore and the entire crew of writers and creative minds that brought about such a fantastic show.

In case you missed it the finale to the phenomenal sci-fi television series Battlestar Galactica has came and went. And what a send off it turned out to be... truly one of the few shows that (for me at least) will define the best television this decade had to offer...

I should also mention a thank you to composer Bear McCreary for creating perhaps the best rendition of Jimi Hendrix's All Along the Watchtower I've ever heard. It's no easy feat taking an original concept and transforming it into something new and exciting, but that's exactly what both Bear, and to a larger extent Ronald Moore did with this series from the start. Who'd have ever thought I'd be praising a remake of a show I once ridiculed and dismissed as outdated .

A Prayer for Bobby

There are decent dramas which make you think, and then there are great dramas which make you feel... I think this particular movie is more of the latter. I honestly can't recall the last time I've seen a movie like Prayers for Bobby. Perhaps one of the saddest stories I've really ever seen portrayed. Mostly on account of the fact that there was in fact a time when I could've totally related to Bobby...

Prayers for Bobby chronicles the tragically short life of Bobby Griffith as he struggles with his sexuality and his attempts to gain acceptance from his ultra-conservative mother. The movie stars Sigourney Weaver as Bobby's mother, and a young 22-year old actor named Ryan Kelly (who btw does an absolutely amazing job as Bobby).

Prayers for Bobby is based off a book (of the same title) written by author Leroy F. Aarons. The movie is currently available on Itunes... but unfortunately not on DVD yet. One comment I have to make about this movie though... I'm not exactly the biggest softy on emotions and I don't think I've really shed a tear since I was 13. This movie had my eyes watered up by the end . Very tragic...

Thank you Australia

Ok, I'm sure most of you still recall Lipstick Jungle right? Well... who could forget considering it has (or had, assuming it ever comes back on air) one of the hottest guys on earth playing one of the lead roles. Anyhow picture Lipstick Jungle, take Brooke Shields and all her friends... and... turn them all into prostitutes. Sounds like a great idea right ?...

Ok, so maybe a series like Satisfaction would never see the light of day in the US... but Australia doesn't seem to mind much. And personally neither do I... mostly on account of the fact that they have gorgeous guys like Aussie/hottie actor Liam Hemsworth here guest starring from time to time on the show...

Talk about super hot, the guy could totally pass for a model. And even better, he's a rising star and already has a movie slated to open starring opposite Nicolas Cage. Thank you very much Australia, we appreciate your exports ...
