Jay On The Go

If you want to role off your chair because you are laughing so hard then this film is for review. Obviously, as I suggested while reviewing The Da Vinci Code , you should have a sense of humor and be able to distinguish fact from fiction. You should also not be offended by toilet humor or jokes that are simply not appropriate for anyone other than a fictional character called Borat. The film (the full name is Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan) is in some ways a satire of American life (it is hard to say if any of the things about Kazakhstan are true) but in many other ways just a great way to laugh on ourselves. The movie proceeds as the adventures in the United States of Borat (supposedly a journalist , but in reality those of British comedian Sacha Baron Cohen, who in real life speaks with a perfect British accent ) who along with a colleague is exploring America and is recording the adventure for a documentary. The movie is es...

Remember the old days when you dated , got engaged , and then picked a date for wedding . The wedding was a big party with friends and family members and then you took off on a honeymoon to a tropical paradise . You waited a few years of wedded bliss and then you would start a family . Things are different now. Indeed, you start off by dating but after that nothing is standard. You could have a family, live together before marriage , and then have a wedding . Or have a family and never get married as Brangelina have done. Looks as if Nicole Richie and Joel Madden are going to do the same. "We don't have any plans for that right now," Madden told People magazine. "We're just happy , and we're being a family, and that's where we're at right now. But marriage means something different to everyone." I think marriage is basically becoming an outdated concept with all the complications related to a 50% probability of divorce , child supp...

Most magazine editors become very powerful but Anna Wintour, the editor of Vogue , is above them all. The top designers in the world have to be on good terms with her because Vogue is literally the Bible for the fashionistas and nothing gets inside the magazine until Wintour says so. She is reportedly the inspiration for the book and the movie. And those of us have had the misfortune of dealing with mean bosses know what it feels like and how frustrating it can be to work with nasty supervisor . Miranda Priestley (a role that was literally made for Meryl Streep ) hires yet another assistant Andy Sachs (I would have never thought that Anne Hathaway was such a fine actress) not just to answer phone calls or to act as an executive assistant, but also to bring coffee for her boss and be treated worse than a maid . It is the story of a right-out-of-college graduate with all the aspirations of making it big and always doing the right thing , but then finds out that the world of bu...

Warning: If you are one of those morons who have a hard time distinguishing fact from fiction, do not read this review and definitely movies are not for you -- go pull some weeds in your backyard. And if you are still reading, you are probably a smart person who has the knowledge and intelligence to enjoy fiction while continuing to use facts in your life for their useful purpose. If you know Dan Brown (I like his books to read on the beach or on a long flight ), you will know that he is a master of fiction writing. He uses real institutions (like NASA or the National Security Agency) and combines real and imaginary events to create a book that is very engaging. That is exactly what happens in The Da Vinci Code. While I am no Catholic or even Christian , I do have enormous respect for Jesus Christ and The Pope , and as even a 4-year old will tell you, there is nothing real about a movie other than moving images and background sounds. The Plot is very complicated and will give y...

As if it was not ugly enough, the divorce of Christine Brinkley and Peter Cook gets even uglier. Like that Republican darling Craig Schelske , apparently Peter Cook too is obsessed with swinging and finding women on the Internet . No wonder then that Diana Bianchi was just one of his secret lovers. It is clear that Brinkley is furious with her ex-husband that she wants to publicly humiliate him and destroy his social standing. I am not sure if Craig Schelske has been hurt in any way or that the Republican Party will really shun him. Nothing may happen to Cook either and he might go on being a good swinger. In my opinion, regardless of what the father of your children did, such bitterness does no good. At the end of the day, you still want your children to have a healthy relationship with their father .

Could there have been a cuter couple than Ryan Philippe and Reese Witherspoon ? With their lovely children, they just seemed like the great American family that we so much aspire to have. Unfortunately, Hollywood relationships are always shaky considering that stars are always tempted by yet another hotter person . That is what we all thought happened when Ryan and Reese divorced ? It was all blamed on Abbie Cornish but she denied that it was her fault. I had no reason to doubt Abbie but it seems I was so wrong. Ryan and Abbie are now officially together and it is more than clear that she was the main reason why Reese's marriage fell apart .
