Freaky Friday

Pardon Me While I Drain Your Blood
Evan Rachel Wood

Here it is, what's on my mind this Friday. "Yes" for some reason the HBO series True Blood has been renting space in my brain of late. I loved the show, for the most part when it was on (there were a couple of seasons that really missed the mark, but for the most part...)

Moving on one of my favorite characters was Vampire Queen Sophie-Anne Leclerq played by Evan Rachel Wood. In true vamp fashion Sophie-Anne was a take no prisoners bad ass who dominated even the strongest of male vampires, including the ever so hot Eric Northman.

Sophie-Anne is my spirit animal (or is it beast?) on this Friday, so I guess that's what puts the Freaky in it? Or perhaps not, seriously with the world we live in I think this is most likely one of the most sane things you have heard all week.

Pardon me while I go file my fangs, they've got to be ready to seize the day!

How does it feel to want? If you want, you should get, if you go for it you shall receive. Cryptic enough for you? It really isn't, especially if you are a conscious, alive being. So what are we waiting for, join me, won't you? I only bite on a need to know basis.

Scheana Shay on Vanderpump Rules is so thirsty she's dehydrated

King Kong plays Ping Pong with his _______ it's blank give it a name

Go rent some lips

There was an old lady who swallowed a horse, she's dead of course (gold star for you if you actually remember this)

I'll tumble for ya, not really. just looking out for you Darlin's 

Another dose of Viagra couldn't make that stand up in court

Man Candy, it's what's for dessert

Never let me down, sideways is cool

Woman Crush of the Week - Rosario Dawson, just because she is hotter than Georgia Asphalt

And so it begins...

Does anyone else find Robert Downey Jr. as hot as I do? Bueller?

If love is the answer, what is the question?

Tunesday Tuesday -

Sentimental Much?
Sandy Zacky & Mike Clifford

Today I feel like whistling a happy tune, thus I hereby decree Tuesday January 14th 2020 - Tunesday Tuesday! Yay! 

In case you have not heard of the dynamic duo of Mike Clifford & Sandy with a "Y" not "E" Zacky. Let me pseudo initiate you. They have been singing partners for years Mike went off solo and did other things while Sandy tended to personal matters.

Well now they are reunited and it feels so good with a cover of the Doris Day classic "Sentimental Journey" and while I mentioned the song and video before, it's stuck in my head, thus this is my Tunesday Tuesday Jam!

Watch the video after the jump and check out all of Mike & Sandy's music on their Reverbnation pages by clicking on the links below. "Yes" that's correct even more tunes for Tunesday Tuesday, I'm a giver and so are they.

Mic Drop!

Oscar Nomination Monday

Indeed...

"Yes" today the Oscar Nominations were announced for those of you who care. I have a passing interest in them, I have only seen three of the films with nominations. Quentin Tarantino's Once Upon A Time...In Hollywood, Judy & Bombshell.

Honestly I think no one stands a chance against Renee Zellweger in the Best Actress category. I would say Once Upon A Time...In Hollywood would be a shoo in for Best Picture if it wasn't for 1917.  Time will tell who takes home the gold! In the meantime here is a list of all the nominees for you to while away the hours with..

Just Because...Dolittle

Bunny Ears
Rami Malek, Selena Gomez & Robert Downey Jr.

Just Because it's fun, Just Because I have a thing for Robert Downey Jr. and Just Because I like a good threesome here is Rami Malek, Selena Gomez & duh, Robert Downey Jr. at the Dolittle premiere in Los Angeles.

OK, so Dr. Dolittle, you know the guy who talks to animals is getting an update of sorts that is hitting theaters this Friday. Hence the premiere photo op in Los Angeles. 

Shame I have no real burning desire to see this, or perhaps not. I mean it would have to get seriously great reviews for me to even contemplate sitting through it. But ultimately this will be a hard pass for me, I will catch it someday on cable.

Then why did I post this image? Because it's fun! Because as stated above I find RDJ sexy AF and Selena Gomez is the cutest to me. Rami Malek I am not one of your fans, but hey one bad apple don't spoil the whole bunch after all.

Hey Just Because...

Saturday Sinema: Even Money

Life Is A Gamble... 

Academy Award winners* Kim Basinger and Forest Whitaker join Danny Devito and an all-star cast in this compelling thriller directed by Academy Award nominee** Mark Rydell that follows the lives of nine individuals, as their fates become increasingly entwined in a web of addiction and gambling, culminating at one critical moment where their lives will be lost or reclaimed.

Struggling writer Kate (Kim Basinger) loses her family's savings at a casino; a washed-up magician (Danny Devito) tries to help Carol regain her money; Clyde (Forest Whitaker) owes so much money to his dangerous bookie (Jay Mohr) that he asks his NBA-destined nephew (Nick Cannon) to throw the game. Also starring Kelsey Grammer, Tim Roth, Ray Liotta and Carla Gugino, Even Money is a cautionary thriller about addiction and deception that hits a jackpot of suspense.

Press Quotes

Ambitious as it is, Even Money truly succeeds as a gripping story about our urge to want more; more love, or more money, or just more life

     —Andrew L. Urban, Urban Cinefile

The film is definitely worth a look.

     —Kevin Carr, 7M Pictures

Strong performances save this somewhat melodramatic film from sudsing up.
