Episode 4 “Fire Sale” Review

The hangover has started. Vincent Chase on the brink of the b-grade, gets with Ari on a round of general meetings with studio execs. Ari can now see E’s ‘Smoke Jumper’ script as a big studio movie with Vinnie starring as the lead. But the meetings don’t bode so well.
E and Ari almost square off before a bidding war starts on the script. It seems that Vincent is almost a back story to this whole episode, as E and Drama take the limelight.

One of the hottest confrontations was between E and Amanda Daniels. She is one classy lady and she unleashes on E at a restaurant meeting. Remember she has that fling with Vincent a couple of seasons ago. She is one hot bird (played by Carla Gugino), and I’m glad she’s back.

Drama has a guest appearance on The View which ends in a disaster – his emotional outcry was absolutely f*ckin’ hilarious not to mention embarrassing. On the positive side Lloyd says all his friends loved it. Hilarious.

E eventually gets a $500,000 studio offer for the script with Vince in the supporting role. But there is another E conundrum, as Amanda puts up a $2 million offer for E’s script, plus Edward Norton minus Vincent Chase. E is left wondering whether to accept the offer and have Vinnie out of a job again.
Things are really heating up. Will Vincent Chase get a movie? Or will E be the main man?

Episode 3 “The All Out Fall Out” Review

The All Out Fall Out, sounds like a metal album. And this episode certainly was all that. Ari with his Ferrari, and an all out war with his enemy, Adam Davies.

This episode really showed us the Ari of old. Adam Davies had him on the ropes, and Ari returned with a counter, and missed, but the class of the man showed in the end. And damn, his wife was pleasing to the eye. Hopefully we see more from her.

While that happened, Vince still left without a job, speaks with Shauna Roberts his publicist. Getting desperate with his dwindling moolah, it was time for Vince to make an appearance or two, and Shauna was there to help. At a sweet 16 to be exact. That was just hilarious, especially after Drama hits it with a bottle of Johnny Walker Blue.

While Eric seems to be making inroads with his writing team (A script taking the interest of Mr. Edward Norton, Cameo coming up?!), it just doesn’t seem right to have Vinnie just laying around here and there. You can almost feel the tension building between E and Vince. Could this be the tension that drives them back to their roots in Queens. And maybe a get together with Dom? Argh!

Another Wahlberg Cameo

The excitement continues as a some teasers from the upcoming Season 5 of Entourage are revealed.

In an interview with AP, Mark Wahlberg reveals how he is getting a scene with our own Ari Gold. He explains:

“…but I didn’t get to do a scene with Jeremy Piven,” Wahlberg said. “This time it’s me and Piven going at it, so it was fun.” – Mark Wahlberg,
(Wahlberg to make cameo appearance on `Entourage’)

Another interesting fact, was that Mark Wahlberg said “he’d love to see a real-life movie version of “Aquaman”. He continues “People automatically assumed that I was going to really make that movie….My agent was even crazy enough to try to get Jim Cameron to direct it.”

A little too much for a fake movie, but interesting to hear more rumors and facts continuing to surface (pun intended).

Now if it had starred Vincent Chase or Mark Wahlberg, would you go see it? Personally I’m torn. Although if there was another movie tied in to Season 5, and was made as part of the season then maybe.
