TOP TEN OF THE WEEK: Harry Potter, Documentaries, World Series of Pop Culture, and MORE!

1) FREEHELD - Florida Film Festival and HBO's "Shelter Dogs" director Cynthia Wade has brought us yet another tear jerker and brilliant story of love and compassion. A story of a police officer, Laurel Hester, for 20+ years discovers she has 3rd stage lung cancer and she would like to give her partner Stacie her pension when she dies. Living in Orange County in New Jersey, who's Freeholders REFUSE to make the decision to help her and her partner. The compelling story and amazing story were a great reason it was a Sundance's Special Jury Prize winner. We we're able to see this film in a two part documentary special screening at the Enzian for Cynthia's film and friend of the festival Alice Elliot's "Soul and Body

2) BODY and SOUL: Diana & Kathy - Click the title to go to the website. Amazing documentary from a great friend of the Florida Film Festival and a woman who introduced me to a saint with her film "The Collector of Bedford Street." Amazing documentary and you heard it here first (as we saw the World Premiere of the film), BEST DOCUMENTARY SHORT Oscar Nomination. We will find out in January. The story was very sweet of Diana who has down syndrome, and she has been taking care of Kathy for 34 years, who has cerebral palsy. A must see when the film comes to your town.

3) HARRY POTTER AND THE ORDER OF THE PHOENIX - Amazing!!!1 that's all! Amazing. Very sad, very touching, very amazing page turner. Of course I am reading the 7th book right now…so what am I doing typing this.






4) ED BANGER RECORDS Vol. 2 - Sebastian, Uffie, Justice, Busy B, Mr. Ozio, just watch the clip and that's all you need to know. Hard as hell beats and the greatest music to do ANYTHING to. Mr. Ozio, you've come along way since the days of Flat Eric.

5) COCAINE COWBOYS - The Miami Vice of all documentaries. Netflix this baby now! Trust me! Does get a little long in parts, but very very great doc on drugs in Miami and money laundering in the 70's and 80's.

6) SOPRANOS: SEASON 2/Disc 1 - My only problem with this season right now is that Tony smokes in the house. No believable. BUT, we are one the 5th episode of the season, and very very very well done. We got to Peter Bogdanovich playing himself as a psychiatrist. Very funny. But, cigar smoking in the house, NO…no way. Speaking of cigars.

7) OLIVA - Very good cigar, not so good promotion they had at the Corona Cigar Bar. 3Buy 3 Get One Free was alright, because the one they were giving away tasted nice! I think this Top Ten blog might have the cigar of the week. Ha! Three weeks in a row!

8) ANTHONY BOURDAINE: NO RESERVATIONS - Marathon tonight, MARATHON TONIGHT!!!!! I have been watching some of this genius over the week!!! So good. Travel Channel all evening!!!! Go watch! New Season July 30th!

9) WORLD SERIES OF POP CULTURE - Very very very fun once again to watch the series and after the first episode, the "we should have been on there"'s ended. Seems like a lot of fun to be there and it would have been amazing to be part of it. I would have looooooved to play against "Twisted Misters" and shit talk, but still a fun season. GO TWISTED MISTERS!!!! We haven't finished it yet, were in the QUATERFINALS…so NO SPOILERS. We will finish tonight!



10) VANESSA AND BRIAN ON VH-1's WORLD SERIES OF POP CULTURE - Yup, our 15 frames of fame guys. That was Vanessa and I on the World Series Of Pop Culture this week on VH1. It was weird to start watching the World Series Of Pop Culture Year Two since how bizarre the test taking and auditions were. But, it was nice to see Vanessa and I, two out of the three team members that made the greatest Florida team AIR GUITAR HEROS. Thanks to Jason for still making the getting there fun, but no thanks to producers for making it cheap and very cold. Damn my hair was short, and YES, that isn't a fat face, the TV adds pounds. Sorry i took these off the I-Phone from the TV, ha! If i can get screencaps for LOST, i think i can do it for Vanessa and I, haha!

That's it for the week. I do have some honorable mentions like Fantasy Football (soccer) is UP and having fun. 2 and a half weeks and we go to the EPL and LIVERPOOL to win the Title! GO BOYS!

Not much but I did LOOOOVE this site. BYS . Click, it's kinda cool…countdowns and film! Sept. 08, '07??!?! I like!

Hope you like the list! I will have a huuuuge post this week, but for now, enjoy!
