Final EVER Episode of Entourage

admin — Sat, 10 Sep 2011 14:11:19 +0000

I haven’t been very responsive to the last few episodes of Entourage, really delaying my reviews when I’ve usually been up and ready with them shortly after each episode is aired. The reason is, our beloved series is ending, and I don’t want it to end!!

It is a double blow to witness all these great episodes and ever since the last one I made scathing remarks about it was hard to anticipate the following episodes, but they have turned it around! Firstly each have been limited by their thirty minutes cap, and secondly the fact is, that it is the last season and so many plot lines have to tie up and end, so was I supposed to give them a chance and keep watching? Fortunately I did, and oh how was I rewarded!

Just when you feel like the series is getting to great levels of entertainment it ends, so it has put me in a state of depression, I didn’t even want to visit my own Entourage Fan site and write the latest reviews. Way too depressed!

But here we are, on the eve of tomorrow evening’s Grand Finale of Entourage. The last episode of Season 8, and the final episode of the entire series. We will watch, we will laugh and we will most definitely shed a tear or two. For we, as Entourage Fans have become one of the brothers.

I will be back with reviews of the previous episodes, before I come to the last, but till then I want to savour this moment. With a feeling of great anticipation for what might be the best episode ever, I would like to send my thanks to Mark Wahlberg, Doug Ellin and all the Entourage Crew for creating a light-hearted yet thoroughly entertaining and enthralling series that so many of us have enjoyed since 2004. Seven years of the best thirty minutes spent – every week it was on.

During the beginning of Season 8, I didn’t hope for any kind of Entourage movie, but after the last few, there is definitely enough there to make a complete destroyer of a film. I can’t fuckin’ wait for it to come out.

So invite your own brothers and sisters over, crack open a few beverages and shed a tear for too and enjoy some quality ENTOURAGE!

Peace & Love,

If you feel like reading more about the final Episode, the British Guardian news site have written a nice piece about Entourage: Goodbye to Vincent Chase and his Entourage, so read and believe.

Episode 9 ‘Security Briefs’ Recap

admin — Thu, 17 Sep 2009 01:18:14 +0000

Overall I thought the ‘Security Briefs’ was at the bottom rung of Season 6′s ladder, although it has to be said it was probably Turtle’s best episode yet. So Doug Ellin’s recap was interesting, as he describes Jerry Ferrara’s real life experiences as the motivation for this episode:

And finally Lloyd has a VIDEO diary to share with us all. I love the idea of these video diaries, but I just can’t stand reading his ‘blog’. They should give us more video, and because they’re short it’s quick bit-sized entertainment that pulls us through the week till the next ep. It would be cool to see the other characters get involved in some kind of extra videos playing their characters or even behind the set through the real actors. Maybe it could be security footage or telephone recordings etc. I think Lloyd’s video diaries and Doug Ellin’s behind-the-scenes have both been very welcome additions to this season.

After seeing Vincent Chase getting dressed up in his ‘Enzo’ gear, could he be finally ready to go back on set again? For some reason I think it will happen in the last episode. It would be nice if next season was devoted to his film making again. Next episode should be awesome!

Some of your reviews, comments and just plain random Entourage stuff coming from the twitterverse:

I think I’m the only person who still watches Entourage, but REGARDLESS: E’s girlfriend is possibly the worst actress ever.

WTF Zac Efron was on entourage?

Entourage is in no way as interesting or progressive as Sex in the City. If this is the boy version, boys are boring…

Episode 9 ‘Security Briefs’ Review

admin — Tue, 15 Sep 2009 00:50:03 +0000

What a brilliant sorority prank! It took a couple of episodes to find out that some of Turtle’s fellow college buddies (or hot fuckin’ girlfriends!) broke in and took Turtle’s underpants (and not the poor carrot top) , and they were even wearing them, how awesome was that. It really made the episode, which was weird, because Ari Gold usually make its but last night he really sucked… Ari was one mean mother-fucker, he wasn’t even funny half of the time. I almost thought this episode should’ve been titled ‘Bad Mood’ or something because almost everyone was in a shitty mood except our golden boy Vincent Chase.

Turtle finds his underwear, and it wasn’t Curtis who stole them!
Inset: Drama finds Vince banging.

A couple of scenes that caught my eye in Security Briefs: When we see Vincent putting his back into it (Dawn Olivieri) while Drama is conversing with the ‘Pleasure Chest’ worker, Sadie (damn she was fine! played by Inbar Lavi). While that whole scene wasn’t shocking, it was still funny as fuck. And the second scene when all of Turtle’s fans pull up their skirts to reveal that they are wearing his underpants, especially when the one that’s not still shows her thong, yeeeeeeeeeeeew! Turtle is going to be in trouble, and to be honest it will be awesome when he does. Maybe it’s the sadistic part of a my male personality that loves when these events happen on Entourage. OK, it’s not as shocking as Californication, but at least it’s not as crass.

Ashley appears again. Oh and I almost forgot about the results from the ‘Ashley Vs. Sloan’ Vote, which I should have in the next few days. Her character is just a bit lame, being suspicious about E’s phone call with Drama and Turtle, I mean what the fuck was that? Why doesn’t she just ring the number if she’s that paranoid E is cheating?? Sloan definitely has to return to rescue Eric out of a bad relationship.

Let’s not forget the cameos from Zac Efron, Frank Darabont and the second or third appearance of Peter Stormare. Zac Efron could have been one of the worst celebrities to be on, but he actually wasn’t too bad at all, I like how he was introduced, and it was great to see there was a MILF involved. Frank Darabont and his story about the convict that wanted to ‘Shawshank’ his ass was classic, especially when he pulls out a gun from his satchel. These cameo’s saved this episode, because the feud between Ari and Lloyd was just too intense. And wasn’t it really wierd that Lloyd was immediately replaced by ‘Craig/Greg?’ (Sterling Sulieman I was expecting Lizzie Grant or just some stunning woman with beautiful eyes… weren’t you?

The soundtrack:

Congratulations again goes to Entourage for reaching the 75th Episode!

Episode 9 ‘Security Briefs’ Preview

admin — Fri, 04 Sep 2009 04:09:00 +0000

First of all, we would like to Congratulate HBO and the Cast and Crew of Entourage for their 75th Episode of the series. We love the show and its up’s and down’s and on behalf of us fans, we all wish you the best of luck and hopefully break the 100 Episode mark which you all truly deserve!

The next episode is Episode 9 in Season 6, and as I mentioned earlier is the 75th episode of Entourage. Entitled ‘Security Briefs’, it looks like Vincent Chase steps up his security after that break-in with Curtis Tucker the key suspect. Zac Efron’s appearance is due, thanks to Ari Gold stealing him from Adam Davies – Ari’s Arch-Nemesis. While Adam Davies offers Lloyd a job as an agent (will Lloyd finally have a worthy part this season?). Meanwhile, Drama goes on his own mission, and investigates Vince’s suspected stalker and typical for Ashley’s character she grows increasingly suspicious of Eric.

Personally I hope that we all don’t mind the continuing appearance of Ashley (we’ll see how she goes in the Ashley Vs. Sloan vote on Saturday 12th), because her re-appearance could turn for the worse for all us Entourage fans.

It’s just too bad we have to wait a week longer for this episode. ‘Security Briefs’ finally looks like Vincent Chase is involved in something, and Turtle receiving extra attention at College should be another laugh and a half.

The Guardian on Entourage

admin — Wed, 05 Aug 2009 10:36:11 +0000

The UK newspaper ‘The Guardian’ has an excellent article about Entourage, by John Patterson. John actually visits the set on the Caltech campus and speaks to a few of the cast and crew. This is an excellent insight for new and old fans, and there’s even a few scoops about the rest of the season (Have a look below – if you dare!). Interesting to note the inspiration for each of the characters, Turtle being based on Mark Wahlberg’s friend Donnie “The Donkey” Carroll (aka rapper Murda One), Mark’s cousin Johnny Alves is the inspiration for Drama. Eric ‘E’ Murphy is based on Mark’s friend – Eric Weinstein (A credited producer!). While oddly Vincent Chase’s inspiration is actor Vince Vaughn, I guess there’s some slight personality resemblance there.

An excellent insight into Entourage
The Guardian, 5th August 2009

Also awesome to note one of Mark Wahlberg’s buddies: Rasta Russ giving Doug Ellin a bit of script advice

(Entourage) needs more naked girls!

Something I think we’d all agree on, let’s get it up to The Sopranos level, and we’ll be almost satisfied.

Here are the spoilers and scoops for those who want to know:
Adrian Grenier reveals “This season for me is all about coasting and relishing being back on top – all girls and smiles for me!” while Kevin Dillon says “(Drama) will do the dumbest thing he’s ever done in his whole career, or in the history of the show. It Just can’t be topped, it’s so dumb”, can’t wait for that one, it will have to be the most cringe worthy moment ever. Also revealed is Jerry Ferrara’s real life relationship with Jamie-Lynn Sigler, which I had no fuckin’ idea about – no wonder the chemistry looks so good on screen.

Peter Stormare is guest starring as Vince’s Security Consultant, you’ll all know him from The Big Lebowski as Karl Hung. He’s one funny lookin’ mutha fucka. Finally, the Entourage could possibly have an episode or a few scenes at The White House? Now that would be unbelievable. President Obama meeting Vincent Chase and his Entourage. Can’t Wait (fingers crossed).

E’s Blackberry

admin — Wed, 22 Jul 2009 08:46:43 +0000

After the watching the last episode again, it was intriguing to see E’s Blackberry messages when he receives and subsequently deletes the “Sorry!” text from Sloan. While that happens we get a peek at a few of his friends’ messages, and so we dug up a few pieces of information about each of them. And they are a rather interesting read, could they possibly feature in future storylines?!

E’s Messages on his Blackberry
Entourage, Episode 2 – ‘Amongst Friends’

First on his message list is Sloan, then comes Danny Carcillo. Danny is one mean mother f*cker! And an Entourage Fan like us! Check his strong right-arm out in action:

Danny Mcbrine or is it supposed to be Danny Mcbride? (thanks matt) – after some research (thanks wikipedia/imdb), we found out that Danny Mcbride is an actor, screenwriter and producer. He’s also appearing in HBO’s new show called ‘Eastbound & Down’ as Kenny Powers. Cross-advertising – thanks HBO.

While Nancy Juvonen is quite an established producer, and wife of Jimmy Fallon with some unknown links to HBO?! Maybe just as a celebrity. And finally John Driscoll, who is an up-and-coming Actor playing Coop Bradshaw in Guiding Light. Is he possibly one of E’s future or even current clients? Or more likely Kevin Connolly’s stepfather (thanks newsday!) Nice to see some subtle details in the episodes.

The Aftermath of Episode One

admin — Tue, 14 Jul 2009 16:30:14 +0000

A few new videos have popped up at HBO.com and on various other sites post-episode one. A hilarious one posted by Lloyd in between confrontations with Ari Gold during the episode:

A really cool behind-the-scenes video blog by creator Doug Ellin, a treat for the fanatics out there:

HBO.com/Entourage has another competition to see what the 5 best quotes from the series are so far, and to turn those into special edition tees. Awesome.

The reaction to the Premiere episode has been immense and incredible, we’ve picked out a few tweets for you to enjoy:

Entourage is the best show ever.

Episode 1 “Drive” Preview

admin — Thu, 09 Jul 2009 06:14:52 +0000

Four more sleeps till the premiere of Season Six, and the Episode 1 “Drive”. TV.com have put up an exclusive clip of the “Drive” Episode 1. Also check the Recap of Season 5 for those of you who have suffered over the past year and lost your memories.

Episode 1 “Drive” Preview
The boys are having girl trouble.

That clip has the following little description:

Eric lies to his girlfriend about seeing his ex, and Ari’s wife has him sleeping on the couch. I think it’s safe to say the boys aren’t relationship gurus.

The brotherhood will definitely be alive this season (as if it ever was dead though?), especially after watching that clip and seeing how more than one of them have girl troubles.

It is awesome to see the boys back in action after nearly a year off our screens (228 days since ‘Return To Queens Blvd’!). Also the buzz about town are the episode titles for Season Six. This is for those hardcore fans that want every piece of Entourage information possible:

(Updated:08/09/09)

Episode 1 “Drive”
Episode 2 “Amongst Friends”
Episode 3 “One Car, Two Car, Red Car, Blue Car”
Episode 4 “Running on E”
Episode 5 “Fore”
Episode 6 “Murphy’s Lie”
Episode 7 “No More Drama”
Episode 8 “The Sorkin Notes”
Episode 9 “Security Briefs”
Episode 10 “Berried Alive”
Episode 11 “Scared Straight”
Episode 12 “(Season Finale)”

We’ll update this list when more information comes along. But in the mean time, ~~Can anyone confirm whether season six is a 10 or 12 episode season?~~. Update: It is officially a 12 episode series. And a 7th Season has now been confirmed!
