Movie Reviews of Entourage - Season Three, Part 1Movie Review: Boom, Part One Summary: 4 StarsI got rid of HBO after "The Sopranos", a brilliant show that went into a gradual decline after the third season, dwindled out to its controversial finale, so I've been watching each season of "Entourage" on DVD. Which I'm glad I did because I don't think I'd want to wait a week or so for a new episode.
Actually, I've watched five seasons in two weeks. Usually one show right after the other.
I've been completely drawn in by the entire production.
As much fun as the series is to watch, I can feel a day of reckoning coming for Vincent Chase: so far he's been a pretty boy who's been handed everything...but, hopefully, his character will develop along the lines of many, many Hollywood actors--some merely flash-in-the-pans, some the real deal--who hit the wall and have to really give themselves to what they do. It seems to me like his older brother, Johnny Drama, was once on that path--and he's blown it over and over again. Vince will need to do something to either achieve superstar status, crash-and-burn like his brother, or just end up as the "frivolous" Chase brother.
The laugh-out-loud scenes still belong to Ari Gold with a wonderful assist from Lloyd, his gay Asian secretary. I hear Jeremy Piven has won several Emmys from this role and he richly deserves them. His foul-mouthed tirades are as shocking and inappropriate as they are hilarious.
This is a show that sounds like it knows exactly what it's talking about.
Summary of Entourage - Season Three, Part 1With Vince's star expected to rise even higher in the Hollywood firmament as a result of his starring role in a potential blockbuster titled Aquaman, the boys must find a way to keep stroking their golden goose while making sound decisions for a long-lasting career in a world of fleeting fame. DVD Features: Audio Commentary:3 Audio Commentaries by Executive Producer/Creator Doug Ellin, Kevin Dilllon, & Jerry Ferrara Featurette:Go behind the scenes with cast & crew on location in Vegas!
The third season of HBO's inside-showbiz comedy kicks off with a familiar anxiety for Tinseltown's best: your film's opening-weekend box office. In the case of Vince (Adrian Grenier) and company, it's Aquaman, Vince's big break that took up most of last season and elevated the group to even bigger perks and tchotchkes. Luckily, the numbers are good (creator Doug Ellin reveals in the commentary that the episode was inspired by his friend who was with Tobey Maguire when he first heard Spider-Man's opening numbers) and Vince uses the leverage to chase his dream project, a biopic of Pablo Escobar called Medellin. But first he has to schmooze the film's eccentric producer who's strangely attached to his Shrek doll (Bruno Kirby, in his last role before his death in 2006) and juggle scheduling conflicts with the Aquaman sequel, which leads to an ego war with Warner studio chief Allen Grey (Paul Ben-Victor). Meanwhile, Turtle's (Jerry Ferrara) management of upstart rapper Saigon takes some sharp turns; Eric (Kevin Connolly) finds his relationship with Sloan (Emmanuelle Chiriqui) on shaky ground; and Johnny "Drama" Chase (Kevin Dillon) gets to audition for a television pilot directed by Ed Burns (playing himself). But the overarching storyline for season 3 involves Vince's agent Ari Gold (Emmy winner Jeremy Piven), who was canned last season by his agency. Taking his flamboyant, hilarious assistant Lloyd (Rex Lee) with him, Ari goes about setting up his own firm, but not before drawing fire from the mafia of other agents and threatening his relationship with star client Vince. The only weak storyline involves an old childhood pal (Domenick Lombardozzi), fresh out of prison, trying to nudge his way into Vince's gang. But otherwise the show's inside look at the baptism of the newly famous continues to tickle the funny bone. As usual, Entourage sprinkles in cameos, including Crash director Paul Haggis hilariously playing himself as a wound-up neurotic ("If I let contracts run my life, I'd still be doing The Facts of Life rather than hanging with my boys," he says as he points to his Oscars). James Woods filches Aquaman premiere tickets for his friends, and Seth Green gets in a rumble with Eric in the episode "Vegas Baby Vegas." Extras are still scant: just three commentaries and a featurette on their Vegas-location episode. --Ellen A. Kim
