RIP: LESLIE NIELSEN DIES AT 84 >>> Serious Actor Became A Comic Star

A serious actor who became a comic star with his career-changing roles in "Airplane!" and the "Naked Gun" comedies, died Sunday. He was 84.

Nielson died of complications from pneumonia at a hospital near his home, surrounded by his wife, Barbaree, and friends, his agent, John S. Kelly.

In "Airplane!," the 1980 send-up of just about every disaster movie plot imaginable, Nielsen as Dr. Rumack was "an essentially serious actor taking essentially preposterous material very straight," wrote Times Arts Editor Charles Champlin in his review. Nielsen followed up "Airplane!" with another goofy role delivered with deadpan conviction as Frank Drebin in the "Police Squad!" television show and "Naked Gun" movies.

It was quite a career shift for an actor who seemed perfectly cast as a handsome leading man when he came to Hollywood in the 1950s, already a veteran of live television appearances.

A typically serious early role was as the spaceship commander in "Forbidden Planet, " the 1956 science-fiction classic. "It's the reason I was never asked to do 'Star Trek' or 'Twilight Zone' for TV," he told the Toronto Star in 2002. "I carried too much baggage with me from that movie."

Nielsen played Debbie Reynolds' sweetheart in the 1957 film "Tammy and the Bachelor," was the Revolutionary War fighter Francis Marion in the Disney TV adventure series "The Swamp Fox" and had roles in such TV series as "The New Breed" and "Bracken's World."

Nielsen also was captain of the doomed ocean liner in the 1972 disaster movie "The Poseidon Adventure."

Nielsen then was cast in "Police Squad!," which aimed to do to cop shows what "Airplane!" did to disaster movies.

It lasted all of six episodes on ABC, but Nielsen moved on as Drebin to the 1988 movie "The Naked Gun: From the Files of Police Squad!," with George Kennedy, O.J. Simpson and Priscilla Presley among his co-stars. Its success led to two sequels.

Nielsen was born Feb. 11, 1926, in Regina, Saskatchewan. His father was a Royal Canadian mounted police officer and one of his brothers became a deputy prime minister of Canada.

He joined the Royal Canadian Air Force after graduating from high school and after the service studied at a Toronto radio school operated by Lorne Greene — who would become a TV star with the series "Bonanza"— before moving to New York to start working in television.


Nielsen's later movies included "All I Want for Christmas" in 1991, "Dracula: Dead and Loving It" in 1995, "Spy Hard" in 1996 and "Mr. Magoo" in 1997. He also toured with his one-man show on the life of defense lawyer Clarence Darrow.

Nielsen had two daughters and was married three times previously. RIP.

JOEY SEASON 2 >>> We Miss You, JOEY... But with your FRIENDS ...!!!

Sebenarnya baru kelar nonton episode 5 Joey Season 2 ini, lantaran masih sangat asyik dengan Dawson's Creek. Gak nyangka juga sih bisa dapat musim keduanya, untung bisa beli dari gerai-nya Fernanda Gracia Shop (cek FB), jadi kesampaian juga melihat aksi kocak Matt LeBlanc.

Rentang waktu yang lumayan lama, sekitar 4 tahun, antara menonton musim pertama dan yang kedua ini memaksa daku menonton beberapa episode terakhir musim pertamanya, dan juga mengunjungi Imdb dan wikepedia untuk melihat opini-opini orang tentang sitkom Joey ini. Dan yang aku dapat dari wikipedia adalah press release resmi Kevin S. Bright tentang kekecewaannya terhadap karakter Joey ini. Coba deh baca:

On Friends Joey was a womanizer but we enjoyed his exploits. He was a solid friend, a guy you knew you could count on. Joey was deconstructed to be a guy who couldn't get a job, couldn't ask a girl out. He became a pathetic, mopey character. I felt he was moving in the wrong direction, but I was not heard.

—Kevin Bright on the reason for Joey's cancellation.

Emang gak bisa dipungkiri, bagaimana pun hilarious-nya karakter si cantik Alex, menggemaskannya Gina, dan geeky-nya Micheal, tetap tak bisa membuat siapa saja yang menonton Joey melupakan kelima sahabat kental Joey di FRIENDS. Bahkan aku sendiri berharap entah itu Monica, Rachel atau siapalah datang mengunjungi Joey, namun tak kunjung terkabul.


Apa yang dikatakan Kevin Bright benar juga adanya. Joey terkesan sangat pathetic dan mopey di lingkungan barunya. Seharusnya sang penulis cerita memberi Joey nasib yang baik dan kemudian membangun plot diatasnya. Melihatnya masih harus berjuang setelah meninggalkan teman-teman baiknya di New York membuat miris sehingga lelucon-lelucon yang disuguhkan menjadi satir. Kalau sudah begini, penggemar setia FRIENDS pasti berharap akan ada Chandler atau Phoebe yang menghiburnya.

Selain itu, Joey tidak diberi teman baik selayaknya Chandler. Atau memang penulis cerita tidak ingin menggantikan posisi Chandler? Joey memang punya Micheal dan Gina, namun mereka tak cukup suportif dan telaten menghadapi mimpi-mimpi besar Joey.


Joey seperti kehilangan arah dalam menghibur penggemar setianya. Namun mengetahui kalau ada Christina Ricci (kembali sebagai sang adik), Lucy Liu, dan Ellen DeGeneres, dan beberapa bintang beken lainnya bakal main di episode-episode sisanya, lumayan juga buat alasan untuk tetap memutar dvd-nya.

Ah Joey, kami merindukanmu, tapi kembalilah bersama teman-temanmu di FRIENDS ya....

OPRAH WINFREY BAKAL PENSIUN & SMALLVILLE PUN RAMPUNG >>> Inilah Daftar 33 TV Series yang Tamat atau Dihentikan Periode 2010-2011

33 Ending or Cancelled TV Shows for the 2010 – 2011 TV Season

(SOURCE : http://tvseriesfinale.com/tv-show/cancelled-tv-shows-2010-2011-18896/)

Has your favorite TV show been canceled? Here’s a list of television series that won’t be back for the 2011–2012 TV season. If your favorite is on the list, you have our condolences.

This list encompasses shows that have been cancelled so far, covering those that get the ax between June 1, 2010 and May 31, 2011. In some cases, the last episode of a show aired months earlier but the network didn’t get around to canceling the series until later. If you don’t see what you’re looking for, try the 2008–2009 page, the 2009–2010 listings, or maybe you’ve gotten lucky!

Now, let’s bow our heads and remember these fallen series…

18 to Life (The CW)
A comedic series, about a pair of teens who get married on a dare, didn’t register with US viewers. It’s already been renewed in Canada for a second season. Though the series was confirmed as cancelled in the US, producers have been told that the remaining season one episodes will be run in December and the network might be interested in season two.

100 Questions (NBC)
This sitcom went through a lot of changes before it got to the small screen and was postponed until after the regular season. The ratings were terrible so it was cancelled after six episodes. The last one aired on July 1, 2010. We never saw Charlotte Payne find her match.

As the World Turns (CBS)
This venerable soap opera was incredibly popular in its day but has been struggling for years now. After 54 years on the air, viewers have had to say goodbye to the residents of Oakdale. The last episode aired on September 17, 2010.

At the Movies (syndicated)
Movie critics Gene Siskel and Roger Ebert began this TV show in 1986 under the title Siskel & Ebert & the Movies. The title changed several times over the years. Siskel died in 1999 and Ebert had to step away during his battle with throat cancer in 2006. Other hosts replaced them but couldn’t recapture the magic of the original sparring critics. It was cancelled and the last episode aired on August 14, 2010. Ebert later announced that he and his wife had plans for their own version of the series.

Batman: The Brave and the Bold (Cartoon Network)
This animated series teams the caped crusader with lesser-known heroes and often pays homage to the Adam West TV show from the 1960s. It lasted for two seasons before being cancelled.

Big Love (HBO)
The series about a Utah man and his wives comes to a close after five seasons on the air. The last season of episodes will begin airing on Sunday, January 16, 2011.

Breakthrough with Tony Robbins (NBC)
A feel-good show in which motivational speaker Tony Robbins works with troubled families on a personal level didn’t connect with viewers. NBC cancelled the summer series after two episodes. The remaining four installments were released online.

The Bridge (CBS)
This is a Canadian TV show that follows a cop who’s elected to head the police union. While it’s popular enough in Canada to be renewed for a second season, CBS buried it on Saturday nights and, not surprisingly, it didn’t find an audience in the US. CBS cancelled it after three episodes but CTV will air season two.

Caprica (Syfy)
The Battlestar Galactica prequel didn’t bring many viewers so it was cancelled after one season. The final five episodes will air in a marathon on January 4, 2011. On the positive side, another prequel is in the works and will be more similar in tone to BSG.

Dark Blue (TNT)
A cop drama, which stars Dylan McDermott as the leader of an undercover unit, wasn’t much of a success in season one but the cable channel still renewed it. The ratings got lower in season two so TNT cancelled it. The last two episodes aired on September 15, 2010.

Entourage (HBO)
A comedy-drama that follows the acting career of Vincent Chase and his boyhood friends from Queens, NY. The pay-for-view cable channel has announced that season eight will be the TV show’s last. The final batch of episodes are expected to air in Summer 2011.

Friday Night Lights (DirecTV’s Channel 101, NBC)
Centered around high school football in Dillon, Texas, it’s been announced that the critically-acclaimed (but ratings-challenged) television series is ending after five seasons on the air.

The Gates (ABC)
The summer serial revolves around a gated community that’s populated by people with supernatural secrets. Though vampires and magic are very popular with viewers, this one didn’t catch on. It won’t be back for a second season.

Gravity (Starz)
A comedic and dramatic look at an out-patient program for suicide survivors, this television program never found a large audience. It was cancelled after 10 episodes with the last one airing on June 25, 2010.

Hannah Montana (Disney Channel)
Miley Cyrus has decided to call it quits and move on after four seasons. The final episodes are expected to air by Spring 2011.

Huge (ABC Family)
Nikki Blonsky stars in this drama about a summer weight-loss camp called Camp Victory. The series didn’t get enough viewers for the cable channel so it was dropped after just 10 episodes. The “series finale” ran on August 30, 2010.

JONAS LA (Disney Channel)
The trio of Jonas brothers may still be popular with the pre-teens but their TV show never caught on. It began as JONAS with the boys attending school on the East coast. The moved west and the show’s title changed but the ratings didn’t get better. No season three.

Larry King Live (CNN)
In June 2010, venerable interviewer Larry King announced that he would be leaving the grind of hosting his own nightly show after more than 25 years. His program will be replaced by one hosted by British television personality and journalist Piers Morgan.

Law & Order: Criminal Intent (USA)
Vincent D’Onofrio and Kathryn Erbe return for this venerable crime drama’s final season of eight episodes. They will air in 2011.

Lone Star (FOX)
The critics and some viewers loved it but Lone Star never found an audience. Revolving around a con man who has a conscience, FOX pulled it after two nights of disastrously bad ratings. There are four episodes left unaired.

Medium (CBS)
The network saved the show when NBC cancelled it after five seasons. It performed decently on Friday nights last season but, this year, the ratings have taken a serious hit. CBS cut the season order to 13 installments and that will be the end of it.

My Boys (TBS)
Revolving around a female sports writer in Chicago, this sitcom ran for 49 episodes and four seasons. TBS cancelled it so we’ll likely never find out how the story of PJ and her friends comes to a close.

My Generation (ABC)
A new drama that follows a group of high school students some 10 years after they graduated. The series stumbled out of the gate and ABC pulled it after two episodes had aired. The remaining six have been released online.

No. 1 Ladies’ Detective Agency (HBO)
Produced in conjunction with the BBC, this series follows a small detective agency in Botswana, run by Mma Ramotswe. The show is finished as a TV series after seven installments but may return as a pair of movies.

Outlaw (NBC)
Jimmy Smits has had some good luck and some bad luck on TV. Unfortunately, this drama about a former Supreme Court Justice was ignored by most viewers. NBC cancelled it after four episodes had aired. The remaining four installments were shifted to Saturday nights.

The Oprah Winfrey Show (syndicated)
The queen of daytime talk is stepping down and will launch new programming on the new OWN cable channel in Fall 2011. The final episode of Winfrey’s syndicated show will air on September 9, 2011

Party Down (Starz)
Following a group of aspiring writers, actors and misfits as they work as a catering team, this series ran for two seasons and 20 episodes. The last episode, which was hardly watched, ran on June 25, 2010.

Persons Unknown (NBC)
A group of strangers find themselves trapped in small town and are under constant scrutiny of security cameras. The show tanked in the ratings on Monday nights and was shuffled off to Saturdays, the TV graveyard. NBC promoted it as a self-contained series but plenty of things were left unresolved by the end. The finale aired on August 28, 2010.

Rubicon (AMC)
A conspiracy thriller that takes place in a government intelligence agency was highly praised but not highly watched. The 13th and final episode aired on October 17th.

Secret Diary of a Call Girl (Showtime)
Star and executive producer Billie Piper signed a deal for the fourth and final season of this UK series. They’ll begin airing on ITV2 in late January 2011. There’s no word yet on when they’ll run in the US.

Smallville (The CW)
After 10 seasons, it looks like Clark Kent will finally become Superman. Will we get to see the man of steel slip on the familiar blue and red tights before the end? We’ll have to wait and see.

Undercovers (NBC)
An action-comedy series that revolves around a husband and wife spy duo never really got off the ground. The peacock network has decided against ordering anymore episodes, effectively cancelling the TV show.

The Whole Truth (ABC)
This legal series starring Rob Morrow and Maura Tierney had lousy premiere numbers and the ratings seemed to sink lower every week. It’s not known if the network will get around to airing all of the episodes.

SANG PENCERAH >>> A Great Film About A Great Leader >> Kok Bisa-bisanya Gak Masuk FFI 2010?

Well I was too young to remember some phenomenal historical flicks such as Tjoek Nyak Dien or Kartini so please do not blame me when I say that Sang Pencerah is the great one in the historical genre.

Hanung Bramantyo once again proved that historical and religious flick can be entertaining. There was not even single moment that I felt bored sitting in the cold air conditioned room in which I didn't pay for watching it.

I was totally impressed how Hanung revived the old times like I really saw and experienced the times where Darwis a.k.a Ahmad Dahlan, the famous founder of Muhammadiyah (The biggest Islamic organization in Indonesia) struggled to make Javanese muslims understand Islam for its own.

Building a setting of Yogyakarta in last two centuries was a hard work to do, but this film presented the amazing cinematography. I loved seeing classic Jalan Malioboro.

Ihsan Tarore played younger Ahmad Dahlan well though he seemed so hard to learn Javanese accents. Lukman Sardi who played Ahmad Dahlan, is the perfect cast. Well, there is no comparison or any video record of Ahmad Dahlan that we can compare with, so by perfect I meant he acted so great like he always did in all films he played.

All the supporting casts are also amazing. Joshua, Giring (the vocalist of famous band Nidjie), Saskia Mecca, and many others gave this film fresh surprise. Some humors inserted are very effective. The message is very clear and educational but in a way in which people are not being lectured. I loved it.


I was upset to know that the upcoming FFI 2010 failed this great film as one of the nominees. Hanung told the media that it's not a biggie because probably FFI has its own standard (rumor has it that FFI judges thought that Sang Pencerah did not depict an actual history, oh for god sake, are we talking about a film?)

Then I'm not gonna watch or write about FFI 2010....!!!

Silly judges...!!!

IKUTAN ACARA PERFILMAN INDONESIA >>> FILM, SENSOR FILM, DAN APRESIASI MASYARAKAT

Hari ini masuk ke bioskop 21 Palembang Indah Mall lumayan beda. Gimana tidak, pagi-pagi jam 9 sudah dateng kayak kerja disana aja. Yang punya hajatan Dinas Pariwisata dan LSF alias Lembaga Sensor film. Acaranya seperti biasa molor, terus di buka dengan nonton bareng. Sebelumnya dikabarin kalo filmnya Arumi Baschin (lupa judulnya) yang bakal diputer, tapi ternyata film Sang Pencerah. Seneng banget. Selaen belum nonton film ini, Aku penggemar berat Hanung Bramantyo sang sutradara.

Film Sang Pencerah keren banget. Review-nya ntar di postingan berikutnya ya.

Kemudian Acara dilanjutin dengan sosialisasi dan penyajian bagaimana LSF bekerja dan polemik-polemik yang dihadapi. Banyaknya para pembicara yang duduk di depan membuat aku gak inget satu-satu. Yang jelas, Anwar Fuadi adalah yang paling familiar. Sementara yang membuat aku betah lama-lama duduk adalah hadirnya penulis favoritku: Akhlis Suryapati. Mungkin kalian gak banyak yang tahu dengan beliau ya, aku seneng banget baca tulisan beliau di majalah almarhum FILM. Tulisannya lugas dan enak dibaca. Bayangin, mulai kelas 3 SMA aku mulai membaca tulisan-tulisannya ketika sudah tidak membaca majalah HAI lagi. Jadi ketika semua orang sibuk berfoto dengan Anwar Fuadi, sang bintang, aku lebih senang ngobrol dengan Mas Akhlis yang rendah hati.

Mas Akhlis sempet kaget juga ketika aku tanya "Mas, yang sering nulis di Majalah FILM itu ya?" pasti dia gak nyangka kalo masih ada yang inget dengan majalah lebar itu. Selanjutnya obrolan-obrolan seru seputar tulisan-tulisan beliau yang pernah aku baca. Asyiknya beliau juga nanya-nanya tentang aku: kuliah di mana, jurusan apa, kenapa tertarik dengan perfilman, bahkan ngajak dateng ke hotel Bumi Asih buat ikutan workshop perfilman, dia bilang dia panitianya, pengeeeen...tapi gak punya akses ke situ. Kabarnya musti punya undangan, padahal kalo bayar juga aku mau dateng. Tolongin doooong!!!


Oh ya, waktu acara interaktif alias tanya jawab, banyak banget orang-orang yang annoying. Beberapa orang yang berpenampilan bak seniman bener-bener gak punya attitude, seolah mereka yang paling bener. Jijik. Eh malah ngatain sinetron-sinetron dan film-film horor lokal. Emang aku juga gak setuju dengan produksi-produksi gituan, tapi gak bisa disalahin, para produser kan jualan, jadi wajar aja kalo nyari untung.

Yang bikin gue jijik, mereka terus nyeletuk gak karuan seolah orang-orang di depan yang lagi ngomong bukan kaliber mereka. Bah. Bahkan ada yang tersinggung.

Okelah, mereka orang seni juga, tapi apa mereka jauh lebih hebat? Ough..!!

Tapi untungnya sesi foto-foto dan ngobrol bareng Mas Akhlis menyenangkan.

RED HILL >>> Ryan Kwanten from True Blood Is Here, but Not Naked...!!!

At first, I really expected that this movie would be great, but it turned out to be lame in some level. This Australian western flick seemed to repeat the old pattern all B class films have.

Expecting Ryan Kwanten to play great seemed so hopeless. We all know that he is good in True Blood because he was naked a lot there. He once played better in Dead Silence, but the credit had to be given to director, not him.

Here's the story: Shane Cooper and his pregnant wife just moved into a small town. This young police officer must survive his first day's duty in this small country town called Red Hill. A fugitive came to this peaceful place to kill all of people with no reason at all. Well, the "with no reason at all" turns out to be "so reasonable" at the end of the story.

I'm not saying that this film is bad, but I didn't feel the thrill when watching it. The characters seemed so soulless with many plot holes here and there. For me, the important thing to love a story in which a character is taking a revenge is that we have to feel the pain he/she feels. And I didn't feel that feeling here. Too bad.

BURIED >>> Pria Terseksi 2010 Itu Terkubur Hidup-hidup...!!!

You have to be patient to enjoy this flick. For 90 minutes you will find yourself as depressed as Paul Conroy who is buried alive in the desert.

Well, if you really need a plot before deciding to watch, here is one from imdb:

Waking groggy in pitch darkness, Paul Conroy, an American truck driver working as a contractor in Iraq in 2006, slowly realizes he is trapped inside a wooden coffin, buried alive. With his cigarette lighter, he can see the trap he is in, and he quickly realizes that there's not enough air for him to live long. He finds within the coffin a working cellphone, which allows him contact with the outside world. But the outside world proves not to be very helpful at finding a man buried in a box in the middle of the Iraqi desert. Paul must rely on his best resource--himself


Honestly, this movie is not for everyone. A lot of people are likely to dislike the film on a fundamental level, but Ryan Reynolds gives the best performance of his entire career here, running through a sequence of emotions, anger, sarcasm and terrified feelings.

The whole aspect of being buried underground, with limited air, a hand phone, a lighter and a mystery to solve, is spectacular. What really amazed me is the fact that the whole thing was seen through the 'eyes' of Paul. We all are trapped along with him and feel his desperation in certain way.

The rest of the movie is about Paul's attempts to establish contact with outside world - his family, friends, employers, the state department to seek assistance to get him out. But things start to get complicated when he is contacted on the phone by his abductor who requests him to arrange ransom from the American Embassy. Running out of both phone battery and air to breathe, Ryan..oops, Paul soon finds out that the threats are not hollow; he is forced to make a video of himself which finds its way to you tube. Things get more complicated and Paul starts to realize he is just a small, helpless insect caught in a web.


With only one main (seen) character, I myself find this movie interesting and challenging. But once again, you better prepare yourself before watching it. There will be a moment you feel bored or even get frustrated with the story. Or, you will find yourself sympathizing to Paul Conroy and "get buried" in the story and silently cry while saying "Oh my God" at the end of the story, like I did.

SUPERNATURAL - X Files Theme >>> Dean and Sam are Mulder and Scully...!!!

The episode’s entitled “Clap Your Hands If You Believe” and features Sam (Jared Padalecki) and Dean (Jensen Ackles) investigating a UFO sighting. Not only does it include several homages to one of the show’s biggest influences but there’s also a new opening credits sequence with X-Files-like music.

JORGE GARCIA JOINS ALCATRAZ >>> Update Terbaru Serial Alcatraz

The Fox drama Alcatraz is quickly developing into a dragnet for Lost fans. Key Lost writer Elizabeth Sarnoff is the showrunner. Lost co-creator J.J. Abrams is executive producer. And now, according to Deadline, Lost fan favorite Jorge Garcia will star.

The drama centers on a team FBI agents that investigates the mystery of a group of missing Alcatraz prisoners who disappeared thirty years ago. Garcia will play Dr. Diego Soto, the world’s foremost expert on Alcatraz, described as a “hippie geek.” Awesome.

Bryan Burk (Fringe) joins Abrams and Sarnoff as producer; Danny Cannon (CSI) will direct the pilot, which shoots in January in San Franciso and Vancouver. Glad to hear they’ll shoot some of the show on location in Frisco. The aerials, at the very least.

One night, he ran into fellow Vancouver actor and native Chris William Martin. Martin found Ryan rather despondent and told him to pack everything: they were going to head to Los Angeles, California. The two stayed in a cheap LA motel. On the first night of their stay, Reynold's jeep was rolled downhill and stripped. For the next four months, Ryan drove it without doors. In 1997, he landed the role of Berg in "Two Guys, a Girl and a Pizza Place""Roseanne" (1988) writer Kevin Abbott.

OBSESSION >>> Shayne Ward Kembali Lagi....!!!

Buat yang gak tau nih, Shayne adalah pemenang kontes bakat The X Factor tahun 2005 dan telah menghasilkan dua album super smash hits. Setelah 3 tahun berolah vokal di studio (dan olah raga di gym) akhirnya Shayne merilis album ketiga-nya yang di beri judul OBSESSION

Ini track list-nya:
1. "Gotta Be Somebody"
2. "Obsession"
3. "Must Be A Reason Why..." (featuring J. Pearl)
4. "Close To Close"
5. "Waiting In The Wings"
6. "Foolish"
7. "Someone Like You"
8. "Human"
9. "Crash"
10. "Nobody Knows"



What's it like?

Secara keseluruhan, musik di album ini masih berkutat di genre pop dengan polesan-polesan tertentu. Vokal Shayne yang menjadi jualan utama-nya masih sangat terjaga dengan baik dan sangat enak ditelinga. Sementara tema lagu masih berkutat di masalah percintaan. Berisi hanya sepuluh tembang lagu, album ini terasa begitu ringkas dan sangat ringan.

Someone Like You seolah meminjam melody dari lagu Spin Doctors yang super terkenal itu, dengerin deh. Sementara lagu Must Be The Reason, menurut media berisi warna dari sample Wamdue Project's King Of My Castle. Dan lagu yang menjadi single andalan Gotta Be Somebody, sudah pada tahu kalo tembang ini adalag makeover lagu hits Nickelback.

Eh, ada lagu versi reggae juga loh, dengerin Nobody Knows deh.

Best bits?

Human memberi nuansa berbeda yang membuat album ini menjadi sangat segar, sementara Vokal Shayne di geber abiz di lagu bertempo sangat lambat di Waiting In The Wings yang bercorak balada. Dan fenomena ini terulang lagi di lagu Foolish, namun kemegahan vokal terasa saat di bagian chorus yang membuat lagu patah hati ini menjadi menyayat.

Dan lagi-lagi, lagu betempo sedang dengan olah vokal prima menjadi suguhan segar lewat lagu Crash.

Secara pribadi, saya menilai album OBSESSION ini belum mampu menyaingi kedua album sebelumnya, namun eksplorasi Shayne dengan genre musik lain dan usaha kerasnya membentuk tubuhnya (lihat klip Gotta Be Somebody) patut diacungi jempol.

EPISODES >> JOEY TRIBIANI IS COMING BACK??? >>> Matt Leblanc Terus Dibayang-Bayangi Joey

Matt nampaknya tidak akan pernah bisa melepaskan imej Joey Tribiani dari dirinya. Dua belas tahun melakoni peran konyol itu membuatnya tidak bisa memainkan peran-peran lainnya.

Dan kini hadir komedi baru yang juga bakal menyerempet-nyerempet karakter legendarisnya itu. Coba simak berita ini:

Since Matt LeBlanc had some trouble being anybody but Joey Tribbiani from his breakout work on Friends, maybe playing a fictional version of himself on a cable series will help. That’s the idea behind Showtime’s forthcoming new series Episodes, which follows a British couple who has their popular TV show in the UK being remade for American audiences. The duo find themselves pressured by executives to cast Matt LeBlanc, a washed up TV star, in the lead role. (collider)

Nah, ini press release resmi tentang plot acara komedi baru ini (sitkom atau semi reality show ya?)


Matt LeBlanc stars as Matt LeBlanc in EPISODES, the hilarious new comedy series about remaking a comedy series. When husband and wife writing team Sean and Beverly set out to reproduce their British TV hit for an American network, all of their worst fears come true as Hollywood lives up to its reputation for absurdity. Not only does the network cast Matt LeBlanc in the starring role, but Matt takes the lead in deviously twisting their beloved series into a terrible cliché, while testing the couple’s marriage with diversions and temptations.

Yang jelas, pasti kita tunggu dan kabar selanjutnya bakal terus di update ya...
