Q: Moviereviewguy, I love reading your blog. I am an inspiring actor/film maker in my last year of high school. I wonder if you would like to come to my graduation and give a speech? Please reply to my email address. Kyle.
A: Kyle, please don't be ridiculous. My summers are filled with caviar, yachts, and busty actresses. Have fun at the commencement.

Although I usually reserve excuses of any kind, I entered into an online business relationship that went sour. I was scammed of tens of thousands of dollars by a web programming and design outfit that will go unnamed.

I'm really disappointed with what Hollywood is putting out at this point - there probably needs to be some regulation.
I have a couple of new projects in the mix so I have not been able to keep up with movie reviews.

(The list Hollywood doesn't want you to see).2006 was a great year for movies that suck. I am going to break down the 10 worst movies of 2006 and then tell you why they sucked. This list will probably shock a lot of you, but I don’t care. I’ve always been a straight shooter as a major Hollywood star and as a movie reviewer on the World Wide Web (www).
Let’s get down to business. Here is the list in order of sucking the least:

I've seen foreign Karate movies with subtitles that screen better than Unleashed. It's hard enough convincing broads to watch a Karate movie when they're good. Morgan Freeman obviously needs to start actually reading the scripts.

I had just finished filming a 'jungle scene' for my next picture and I was dead tired so I really didn't want to watch something that would make me have to think. Well, I picked the right movie becuase Thank You for Smoking is an easy watch - one of those movies that you can clean your house to.

Well, that's how I do things.
My agent shipped over a copy of The Prestige for me to view this last weekend.

I'm also sure that a lot of my fans may also never read my blog again when I say that this wasn't a bad movie. I know Jackass' Johnny Knoxville and he's a good kid - I told him that I would watch this movie and I did. It wasn't great, but it did provide a few laughs.

As an actor, I can usually see when another actor is coasting in a movie. Within the first 5 minutes, I could tell that BW was sorry that he was in 16 Blocks. He would never tell you, but you can believe me. Speaking of worst, when did the world decide that rappers can act.

The Curse of the Jade Scorpion, etc.) I mean, is Woody even 'Hollywood' anymore? I seriously doubt it. I barely wanted to watch this, but again, the broad that I was with (art student) wanted it bad, so The Movie Review Guy gave in. I was pleasantly surprised that I didn't completely hate this film.

I do that. Another thing that I'll do is invite some B-List actress or body double over to view films with me. I like to invite these broads based on what type of movie I'm watching.

While watching 'The Lady in the Water' or 'Lady in the Water' if you prefer, I came to realize something.

Q: I think I may know who you are. I have worked as an extra on some of the movies that you have written about and I'm pretty sure that we have met. Please answer my emails - I would like to meet up.

When he married Elvis' daughter, I knew that he was whacked out of his skull. Still a decent actor though. We all know that Cage's best movie is Raising Arizona and I'm not saying this because I worked on the set. I've worked with Cage on several films, we would hit the bars after filming.

A real man that is also an award winning actor and renowned movie reviewer and studies to perfect his craft would have reason. The acting was solid, but the story was all over the place.

My agent called yesterday to point out that my site is at the top of over 71,000,000 (that's 71 MILLION) search pages on google for Movie Review Guy.
I hung up on him and finished drinking my coffee.

My assistant brought me Munich, some pretzels, and my Vicodin prescription. I was ready to watch my movie without any annoying broads hanging around. No annoying producers bragging about their film, just me and the DVD.

I mean, Saw 2 is out and I haven't even seen the first. Saw has not Karate, no hot babes, but plenty of blood and guts. The blood and guts I can usually handle, but as I was lying there with my leg in it's cast I started to get a little bit sick to the stomach.

Let me just say that this whole cast thing is totally paying off in the broad department. The only real problem is that I have been juggling 'off and on' ~5 of my old girlfriends who are constantly calling to give me attention.

To those of you who do not know, I was injured on the set of my latest film.

I know people who know Werner Herzog and they say that I BELONG in one of Werner's films.

The picture that I'm working on isn't exactly a blockbuster, but I also wouldn't consider it to be low budget.

It is a story about love, cowboys, gay cowboy homos, and the homely women that love them. Before we go further, let me say that no heterosexual male should be seeing this movie except, of course, Hollywood A-Lister's such as myself as we need to see movies like this for the study of our craft.
