More Sinatra Movie News

Last year, Martin Scorsese was set to make a biopic about Ole Blue Eyes and there was lots of talk about who would play Frank in the film.

Today, it was reported that in a different movie (The Life and Opinions of Maf the Dog) George Clooney would play Frank to Angelina's Marilyn Monroe. Clooney makes sense to portray Sinatra mostly based on the "cool" factor. At first, I thought AJ would be awful, but after letting it percolate for a bit I think she could be great. Those sultry lips and everything else make her a powerful sex symbol that could definitely embody Monroe. Plus, the movie focuses on Monroe's final years and Jolie has the acting chops for such a role.

Do you think Angelina is a good choice? BANTER!

Up In The Air

Just like everyone I've talked to and every critic I've read, Up In The Air is definitely one of the best movies of the year. During our current economic climate, the film uniquely captures the quest for happiness and the American Dream. However, it smartly juxtaposes this theme with how hard it can be to find a balance between the sometimes unrealistic American Dream and making powerful, meaning relationships in your life that complete you more than the material things you pursue. I already cannot wait to see this film again and percolate all it has to offer the just like I want to do with other works that deal with similar themes (Death of a Salesman, The Great Gatsby, and Mad Men). If you see one movie for the remainder of the year -- make it this one.

So This Must Be What It Feels Like....

To be George Clooney's friend. At least, that's what I thought when I saw this just now. Make sure you watch "Melrose's Place" every Tuesday at 9pm on the CW. Support Mike Rady!
