Because I’m so not on the grind with this blog, I forgot to post links to my latest Trashwire reviews. I had the chance to write about two very different films, one about a clingy teenager trying to get intimate with her vampire boyfriend, the other about a clingy son trying to battle his mom’s boyfriend. The Twilight: Eclipse review was also published on KDVR.com, where a bunch of Twi-hards proceeded to tell me I was an idiot because I wasn’t comparably intrigued by the epic battle of Edward vs Jacob. I’ve read the books and seen the movies and, like I say in the review, I get the phenomenon. I just like True Blood and Charlaine Harris’s Sookie Stackhouse Series better.

You can read my “stupid idiot” review of Twilight: Eclipse on Trashwire…

When I want to watch sexy vampires and werewolves, I choose True Blood, but if I was ten years younger, I’d be swooning over the sparkly vampires and ab-tastic werewolves in the Twilight movies. If the first film and its sequel New Moon were burgeoning with sexual undertones masquerading as tween-friendly melodrama, then Eclipse is practically porn.

And check out my review of indie comedy Cyrus, starring John C. Reilly, Jonah Hill and Marisa Tomei on Trashwire too…

Both Jonah Hill and John C. Reilly are more recently known for broader comedies like Step Brothers or Superbad, but both prove they can hold their own with quirky indie fare as they battle for the attention of Marisa Tomei in Cyrus.

Today’s the last day of 2009 and I, for one, can’t wait until it’s over. Aside from the bad economy, 2009 also brought us such unwelcome gifts as Balloon Boy, H1N1, Kanye’s VMA outburst, and celebrity deaths by the truckload. While some people are writing lists about their favorite moments of the year, I’ve compiled a list of reasons why I’m looking forward to saying sayonara to 2009. So, without further delay, I bring you… 5 reasons 2009 can suck it.

Because I’m totally obsessed with Ricky Gervais, Stephen Merchant and Karl Pilkington… and because Ricky makes a perfect fake David Bowie…

Here’s a few clips of Vanilla Ice performing “Ice Ice Baby” live at the Pepsi Center during halftime at the Denver Nuggets game tonight. Totally the highlight of my week!

While he was on stage, I flashed back to myself as a kid in the early 90s dancing to this song and thinking he was so hot. Then I flash back to myself just a few years ago watching Rob Van Winkle on The Surreal Life and absolutely loving it. Usually anyone on celebreality tv proves their lameness, but he was one of very few celebrities who actually end up looking better after a reality show.

More clips after the jump…..

Just got home from the Nuggets game. It was 80s night and they had a very special guest for the halftime show…. none other than Mr. Rob Van Winkle or, as you might know him, Vanilla Ice.

Here’s a quick clip I got of him performing Wild Cherry’s “Play That Funky Music”
