Cannes we come along too?

August 26, 2007 /

It’s official: the “Entourage” we all know and love is back.

You know, I had a feeling that particular comment was going to come back and bite me on the ass. After all, when was the last time during this season two solid episodes aired back-to-back? I’ll give you a hint: never. Then again, that means next week’s season finale will be awesome, right? Let’s hope so, because tonight’s show was void of any real story, character development and, believe it or not, laughs. Even the “bad” episodes have featured some sort of crazy Drama/Turtle subplot, but this week, all they really did was follow Vince around the airport and profile potential terrorists.

You heard me right. Seems LAX is on red alert after rumors of a possible terrorist attack ground all the planes and, eventually, shut down the entire airport. This leaves the “Medellin” boys in quite the predicament, since their film is scheduled to open in Cannes in less than 48 hours. Ari manages to talk his way onto Sydney Pollack’s private jet, but when they arrive at the airport to discover his plane only has five seats available (when they need six), Vince declines. Luckily enough, Kayne West shows up not a minute later, and though I’m still pondering how Turtle could possibly have known the famous rap producer without the other guys knowing it, he manages to convince him to make a small detour and drop them off in France.

Meanwhile, Eric is in a predicament all his own. It seems Billy Walsh really wants his new client (Anna Faris) for the female lead in his upcoming film, but Eric doesn’t exactly like the latest script. Anna, meanwhile, doesn’t even understand the damn thing, but since he’s Vince’s manager first, and Vince wants her for the role, Eric convinces her to do it. That is, of course, until Anna admits that she thinks he’s cute, and Eric follows that up by telling her the truth. As a result, Vince loses his co-star and Eric loses his client. Kinda sucks, really, since Anna was the only fresh thing about the last few episodes of the show. Oh well, I guess we can’t expect a big star to stick around for too long, but we can expect the writers to get on top of their game and crank out a good story. Perhaps that super-sized third season really did a number on those guys. Here’s hoping a good vacation will change that.

I’m back in the New York Groove

August 19, 2007 /

It’s official: the “Entourage” we all know and love is back. What, you don’t believe me? Well, how about Ace Frehley, whose “New York Groove” was proudly playing behind the end credits? Yeah, that’s what I thought. After weeks of going nowhere and silly subplots involving Drama and Turtle, “Entourage” is back on track with a two-episode trip to Cannes and Vinnie’s next big project.

Let’s not get ahead ourselves, though, as Vinnie’s prospects looked dim as usual after Walsh turned in his script for “Lost in the Clouds” into the studios. Of course, the script wasn’t quite the adaptation that everyone was expecting, but rather a completely original idea that Ari describes as “a sci-fi thriller set on a farm in 2075.” If it sounds crazy, it’s probably because it is. Then again, that’s Walsh, and after Ari makes a surprise visit at his house to discuss the consequences of breaching contract, it’s made quite clear that Walsh couldn’t care less. Neither can Ari after Walsh fires him because, well, they guy’s not going to work another day anyways, so what’s the big deal, right?

Wrong. Vince likes the script so much that he gives Ari the difficult task of selling Dana Gordon and her new boss on the new idea. Since “Lost in the Clouds” is temporarily screwed without a writer, director and star, they agree to the other Walsh/Chase collaboration, which Dana so eloquently describes as “Blade Runner” meets “Field of Dreams.” Not bad for someone who hasn’t even read the script.

Eric, meanwhile, is left completely out of the loop for the entire episode because he’s off catering to Anna Faris in a far off part of town that doesn’t seem to have any cell service. Actually, it’s Anna’s obsessive boyfriend who’s the real problem. Not only does he have incredibly bad taste (he wants Anna to pose in different animal positions for her new photo shoot), but he also thinks Eric is looking for more than a professional relationship. Okay, so what if he is? The guy’s a douche and that’s that. It’s just too bad that Vince thinks Eric is ignoring him because he’s too involved in Anna’s relationship. I’m sure it won’t cause any bad blood between the two (does anything?), so it’s nice to see Eric’s new business finally taking off. The question now is: will it last?

Down time

August 12, 2007 /

Okay, so maybe I blew things a bit out of proportion last week when I suggested “Entourage” might be building to a big season finale, but while the pieces haven’t quite fallen into place yet, I am confident that the final two episodes (which I accidentally read about while researching the new season) will leave fans wanting more. Let’s just say that it’s probably going to be very reminiscent of season two’s Sundance episode.

Getting back to this week’s show, however, it’s become crystal clear that the extended third season (which aired the second half of its episodes only weeks before) has greatly hurt the quality of season four. Stretching out the “Medellin” storyline has left the writers with little to talk about until the movie premieres at Cannes, and while the subplot involving Eric’s decision to take on other clients (more on that later) has definitely helped his arc as of late, the rest of the characters have been left scratching their asses.

Nevertheless, it looks like Eric will finally land his first client (besides Vince) in rising star Anna Faris, whom he met on his way to Vince’s new house. After running into him (literally) on the road (and in only a towel, no less), Anna accidentally gives Eric a fake number to call her at in order to exchange insurance info. Mildly pissed off that she would do such a thing, Eric heads over to her house to confront her, only to discover that it truly was an honest mistake. Personally, I’m not so sure it really was a mistake, but after witnessing Eric’s determination (and his good manners), Anna invites Eric out for dinner. Of course, Eric thinks it’s much more than dinner, but after Anna receives a call from her boyfriend mid-meal, it becomes quite apparent that she’s interested in a different kind of relationship. By the looks of next week’s previews, though, it doesn’t look like the new business venture will be a match made in heaven. Anna is obviously a very needy girl, and that’s simply not going to cut it with Vince around.

As for the rest of the gang, well, not a whole lot happened. Ari threw a jealous fit when his wife was invited back for an episode of “The Young & the Restless,” and Vince, Drama and Turtle just sat around all day smoking weed. Not exactly the kind of story development I was hoping for, but it was still a very nice treat to see Mrs. Ari skimp down to her skivvies. I don’t care how old she is – Perrey Reeves is smokin’ hot – and I could definitely live with seeing more of her in the very near future.
