IndieSeen Favorite: Kerry Washington

She’s like a friend in my head. So I could totally see myself having a shopping date with Kerry Washington. She’s just that kinda girl. You know the one who you can always rely on to be there if you just wanna go out and do some randomness? “Let’s go to the movies, let’s go shopping, let’s spy on that hottie that works at American Apparel”. She’s just that kinda girl who you can chill with. Oh yea, and she just so happens to be a pretty damn good actress. Luckily Kerry is not letting Hollywood sleep on her. It seems like this chick comes out with 2 or 3 movies every year. She’s a hardworking kinda gal.

She’s been in some really great movies too. I love it when Kerry goes the indie route because it seems like she’s at her best in films like United States Of Leland and The Dead Girl. If you ever need research on how to play a character that has been completely washed out by drug use…look at Kerry at her best in The Dead Girl. I mean she’s of course done well in blockbuster films like Ray and Last King Of Scotland. She just knows how to work it!

And man does she work it! She’s piping hot! And totally single for you fellas out there. I think she was involved with the little kid from the movie Big…remember that guy? Kerry Washington is our NY neighborhood friend with roots in The Bronx. She graduated from Spence School here which is a well known institution for Hollywood actors.

Kerry will be back in theaters on September 19th in a new riveting film starring Samuel L Jackson and Patrick Wilson called Lakeview Terrace. We already envy Kerry because she got to have hot steamy sexy time action with fine ass Patrick Wilson. All I gotta say is Patrick Wilson can totally get it. Nuff said right there. Anyways, the film is about An LAPD officer who will stop at nothing to force out the interracial couple who just moved in next door. The movie trailer looks hot too. Look for the scene with Wilson and Washington getting it on in the pool. You’ll find yourself need a cool glass of water afterwards.

Kerry, we love you for being a great actress and making us all feel like you could be our bestest friend! Keep it hot girl. You’re definitely an A-lister to us!!

Wanna see Kerry's latest film? Here's the trailer:

Whatever Happened To Jim Caviezel?

Remember Jim Caviezel became the "It Guy" after Passion Of The Christ came out? He was like everywhere. I mean most film buffs already knew Jim from films like Angel Eyes and Frequency. I was watching The Final Cut---a craptacular film by the way that I will blog about later---and I saw Jim Caviezel and immediately thought...hey whatever happened to him? Of course I was prompted to instantly go to my Bible--that is IMDB--pun intended of course, and look for Jim to see what he's been up to. He's got 3 movies updated and 2 are set to be released this year. So we will be seeing more of James in the future months. Thank GOD right???


He is one of those actors that are very talented but low-key. Kinda like the Jeffrey Wrights and Joseph Gordon-Levitts of the cinema world. You hear about them once every few years and then they fall off the radar. I just PRAY that Jim will keep up with the movies, becuz he's amazing to watch. I love it when he plays the disturbed creepy guy roles too....it's kinda sexy. Anyways good to know he's alive and well and still acting. I was getting concerned cuz you gotta admit, it's been a minute since he's come out with anything...the last film he was in was Deja Vu. JC is my homeboy! Oh yea, and that other JC guy is too...hee hee :)

Tarantino Goes After New Pussy

Quentin Tarantino who is by far the best filmmaker EVER is going to remake 60's soft-porn cult classic "Faster Pussycat! Kill! Kill!".

Since GrindHouse, Tarantino is very interested in making campy-sexy horror thrillers. The original film was about three thrill-seeking strippers who come upon a couple in the desert. Killing the boyfriend, they take the girl hostage and hide out on a secluded ranch owned by a wheelchair-bound redneck farmer and his two dim-witted sons. Trying to locate the man's hidden fortune, they seduce the sons to learn of the secret - soon all hell breaks loose.

Tarantino wants his version to be even raunchier. That's why we love him---and only for that reason. His choices in casting is lackluster we must say. His first choices are Kim Kardashian, Eva Mendes and none other than Britney Spears for the roles. YUCK!!!

Here's what NYIndieSeen would pick as the Pussy leads:



Jennifer Beals---she certainly knows ALL about being a Pussycat these days!











Angelina Jolie---I know I know...so typical. But why the hell the not? I would love to see her in a Tarantino flick.








Aishwarya Rai--- What about the hot Bollywood chic? Time for her to do more A-list crossover American flicks.











Christina Milian---I don't like her acting per se...but I'm curious to see how she would do in a soft core porno.











Stacey Dash--Where did she go? Has anyone seen her? Let's bring her back to the big screen!

My New TV Addiction: Nip/Tuck

For some of you that actually read this blog and know a bit about it's history....occasionally I "blog-out" about my favorite TV show in the WHOLE WIDE WORLD: My Grey's :)

BUT NOW....I have a new crack addiction. I mean really this show is like crack for me. I have to have a hit. And I went so far as to BUY all 4 seasons of the show becuz its that damn good. Nip/Tuck was birthed by Ryan Murphy and has aired on the FX network for the past 5 years. I know I'm a little late to the game, but the show is really the shit. Plus they use the word shit! Like...alot. The verbal profanity is not the reason I like this show it's actually a man who I worship and adore: CHRISTIAN TROY. You gotta see Christian work his magic from episode to episode. He's the mack. He can get any woman, anytime, anywhere. He's an amazing surgeon, he's ripped, and I've seen his ass more times than Ron Jeremy's and trust me...that's a MAJOR improvement...let me just tell you. For those of you living under rocks that know absolutely nothing about this show, Nip/Tuck is about two plastic surgeons. Sean McNamara and Christian Troy are running a partnership in Miami, Florida with different issues to life.


Sean is a wishy-washy, weak-kneed, family man who distances himself with work to avoid his dysfunctional home life which includes his needy and spiteful wife Julia, his rebellious teenage son Matt and young daughter Annie. The more slicker Christian is an arrogant, narcissistic, unethical, ladies man who worships wine, women, and the all mighty dollar, and will do just about anything to get what he wants (lie, cheat, steal, blackmail and seduce)and has no qualms about practically anything.

In Season 5 of the series the two doctors moved their practice to Los Angeles and now work on a Grey's Anatomish type series drama as medical consultants. Currently though Sean McNamara has asked to be a series regular on the show. Of course the cocky-Christian is pretty pissed off about it.... I am deprived on my Grey's now becuz of the Writer's Strike and I have a few more episodes to go on Nip/Tuck...including watching the rest of Season 4. This is an indie-off course topic which is why it's been archived that way. Any show that has raunchy sex on EVERY episode, serial psychopaths, out of this world surgeries (like getting a woman's clit replaced), and seeing Julian McMahon and Dylan Walsh's ass every five minutes...is definitely something worth blogging about. Nuff said.


Below is a video I found on YouTube of Dr. Christian Troy at his "best".

Greatest Sex SEENS in Indie Flicks

Courtesy of Nerve.com Here is a small list of the greatest sex scenes in indie cinema. To see the full list and view clips of each lustful scene click here.


Ken Park
Larry Clark's provactive film Ken Park is most well-known for its boy-on-girl-on-boy oral-sex fest toward the film's finale, and it's kind of disturbing and kind of fun. Well its actually more fun to watch. Larry Clark's 2002, return to big screen scandolocity: Ken Park attempts to shock and awe its way into relevance.By putting on a facade of gritty realism it attempts to convince its viewer that they are experiencing a work of artistry, as opposed to Clark's signature blatant exploitation, long unnecessary camera focus on characters genitals and naked bodies are no longer daring or particularly entertaining when you begin to expect it as one does with a Larry Clark film.


Sex, Lies, and Videotape

Andie McDowell, who plays a bit of a prude, tells her therapist at the start of Sex Lies and Videotape that she's not really into sex. Repressed and unhappily married, Ann changes her tune when she meets her husband's reclusive friend Graham (James Spader), who considers himself impotent. Graham's only sexual gratification comes from videotaping women while he questions them about their sex lives; his video collection horrifies Ann and hopelessly intrigues her. This film pioneered amateur porn for bored housewives.


Shortbus
There are alot of sex scenes to mention in this movie given the fact that the whole feature is an orgy fest to begin with. The most noted sex scene doesn't even involve two people. It's a masturbation scene that involves...auto fellatio! And the guy is oh so flexible. "The Shortbus," an underground performance space, salon and sex club. It's a sexy skin party where couples, singles, trannies, hipsters, queers, punks, preps, geeks, goths, and the like go to get their freak on! Sofia finds herself on a quest and becomes sexually awakened thanks to a cute gay couple by the name of Jamie and James who are having their own sexual issues in their relationship. Piled on the floor, dangling from swings and squirming against the walls are dozens of bodies, of all genders and descriptions, screwing and licking in every possible combination. Hotness.


Being John Malkovich
John Malkovich greets Maxine (Catherine Keener) at his apartment door and the two decide to get their freak on. However Spike Jonze creatively decides to allow his audience to see and hear the thoughts of John Malkovich. We are now invited to ever experience he undergoes including SEX!! Catherine Keener is having sex with the audience in this scene being that the camera's point of view is to the audience (a.k.a John Malkovich). Then it gets weird becuase really she's having a lesbian experience with Lottie played by Cameron Diaz (who looks a lil fug in the film). Of course the sexual moment is broken when she calls out the wrong name during sex. Oops.


Boys Don't Cry So we all know what's "going down" in this scene. Hilary Swank plays the role of a guy who's actually really a girl and he/she has a sexual experience with Chloe Sevingy. This oral scene is way hotter than Chloe's oral scene in this disastrous flop Brown Bunny. The facial contortions on Chloe's face are really hot and not to mention the sounds we hear Hilary make...subtle but hot. We're always seeing films where men are getting off, but barely ever see the "tipping the velvet" scenes for the chicks. Definitely worth watching and sexy to anyone....gay or straight.



Mysterious Skin

Here's another scene that's also "orally inclined". Now I don't know what's hotter, seeing JGL gettin some head or hearing JGL get some head. Was that too much?? Did we go to far by that statement? Not sure why this film got an NC-17 rating being that the audience never actually sees that act of fellatio on screen. But the expressions of ecstasy is enough to make this one of the hottest sex scenes ever.




Brokeback Mountain

Yes the movie about two gay cowboys also contains one of the hottest sex scenes of all time. Of course it helps when you have Jake Gyllenhaal and Heath Ledger all hot and sweaty and HORNY. Actually we were expecting a lil more full frontal action, but the subtlety can be kinda of hot especially when he spits on his hand and shoves it down Jakes. Now that's a take charge kinda guy.





Team America: World Police

The sex scene in this film has more sexual positions going on than the Kama Sutra. If you ever need tips on how many sexual positions and body contortions you need to spice up your sex life, this is the scene to watch. Of course it's kinda comical because its two plastic dolls gettin it on. Why the MPAA would be so damn sensitive in giving this film an NC-17 rating I have no freakin clue. Geez it's just puppets yall!! Gotta say though, the sex scene totally turned us on though.

Ugly Sexy: Benicio Del Toro

Benicio Del Toro is the epitomy of ugly sexy.

Ya know that category of men who are kinda grimy and ruff at times, but can clean up real well and the sexiness comes thru?

Or those guys that look ruff as hell, but still have that sexy swagger and don't even try hard to do it?

Benicio is one of those guys.

He was the clean cut white collar personal assistant to Kevin Spacey in Swimming With The Sharks.

Then he was Benny, the friend of the heroin-addicted painter in Basquiat

Then he played mumbling thief Fred Fenster in The Usual Suspects.

We certainly can't forget his performance as good cop with a conscience in Traffic.

However, one of his most strongest performances to date was the guilt ridden drunk driver in 21 Grams.

We love Benicio. He's won an Oscar, Golden Globe, and not one but TWO Independent Spirit Awards.

Did you see him in Things We Lost In The Fire??? He was soooooo sexy. He may have another Oscar on his hands too becuz of that performance. Does anyone know if this man is single? FINE THANG that he is....he could get it.

We not only love him because he makes for good eye candy. But we love his style, acting, and humility as an actor in Hollywood. Keep on keepin on.

SEEN O' The Day: Havoc

You Ain't Real

This is a a good movie. It's kinda sad too cuz I actually know kids like this. Privledged kids tryin to act all hard in their upper crust-spoon fed lives and think by going into the "hood" they can prove their worth in the world. This scene is between Freddy Rodriguez (yumz) and Anne Hathaway (who gets nude in the flick). Freddy tell her that she aint and she's just a wannabee for trying to hang out in East L.A. when her home is Pacific Palisades.

Did I mention JGL is in this film too??

SEEN O' The Day: My Own Private Idaho

Before Brokeback there was Idaho. This is the classic scene with Keanu Reeves (back when he could act) and River Phoenix (R.I.P) sitting in front of the campfire discussing their home lives. However, in this scene Mike (played by Phoenix) pours his heart out to Scott (Reeves) and admits that he is in love. According to IMDB this campfire speech was actually written by River Phoenix himself...

Indie Picks O' The Day

WOW. It's been a looonnngg time since an update has been made on this blog. So we're gonna make up for it in a BIG way. Instead of the PICK O' The Day....lets add a few more in one post. In this blog we will review 3 Indie flicks that are offbeat, funny, and dramatic.

Mysterious Skin
Dir. Gregg Araki



Okay, so if you are as familiar with Gregg Araki's work as we are, then you probably will watch this movie thinking...is this really an Araki film?? It's not exactly his atypical film that involves kooky characters tripping off acid or sex crazed teens involved in x-driven orgies. Instead, its a moderately paced film about two guys with a deep dark secret. Neil is a gay hustler played by "the hotness that is" Joseph Gordon Levitt. He becomes bored with his small town life in Kansas and decides to move to the big city to continue his career as a male prostitute. Meanwhile, Brian played by Brady Corbet is trying to figure out what happened to him as a child. He suspects that he may have been abducted by aliens. He also remembers that Neil was with him at the time of his abduction and Brian finds himself on a mission to locate his childhood friend who may have some answers to what happened to him that fateful night. The alien abduction is in fact a deep dark secret that both boys uncover and each come to terms with who they are and how the event affected them in their present lives.

This is one of the most underrated performances by JGL. He is fascinating to watch on screen and an incredibly talented actor. His character draws you in and although his life is destructing into a downward spiral, you're curious to see what his next move is going to be although you suspect it may be his last. It has its moments of suspense, drama, humor, and heartbreak. It's a powerful film by a talented ass director and a phenomenal cast.


Cecil B. Demented
Dir. John Waters


Now this is all about the indie! If you are an indie-enthusiast and absolutely loathe the studio system, then you will have a deep appreciation for this John Waters flick. This offbeat comedy is about a lunatic renegade indie filmmaker named who decides to kidnap Honey Whitlock (played by Melanie --I sound like a mouse--Griffith), an A list Hollywood startlet who studios flock to for casting. Cecil forces Honey to be cast in his guerrilla style film and robs convenient stores to use a film locations as well as shooting up teamsters to to get on studio sets. Its freakin awesome!!! Each oddball character plays a significant production role in the film. The gay hairsylist played by Jack Noseworthy is so funny and Adrien Grenier (aka sexiness) as the drug addicted co-star who offers every single type of illegal drug known to man to Honey Whitlock is hilarious to watch.

John Waters who never fails to dissapoint us cinematically makes another freaky comedy about the world of indie cinema and illustrating how some filmmakers are willing to do anything to get their film made. Some good pointers perhaps for our NYindieSeen readers???



Twin Falls Idaho
Dir. Michael Polish


The Polish brothers (who are totally hot by the way) produced and directed this film about siamese twins living a life of obscurity in their barren hotel room. Penny, who we believe is a prostitute, changes the lives of these two conjoined brothers who has hid themselves from the real world. She soon discovers that one the twins (Francis) is very ill. However, the other twin (Blake) begins to fall in love with Penny and the feeling becomes mutual. The three try to figure out their own lives is this bizarre film.

This movie isn't exactly for everyone. Probably because its offbeat tone and ambiguous story. However, its interesting to see the lives of these characters transform and how a relationship can develop between a conjoined twin and another person.

I SEENtz You!

Adrien Brody's fine ass was spotted at 23rd and Park Ave South. Damn! I probably passed right by him!!

Ron Livingston was seen at a Cafe on 73 E Houston St. Was Berger eating a a burger?? Yea, that was mad corny.

Lucy Liu was at 210 W 10th St. Just finishing up the Sex N The City knockoff Cashmere Mafia.

Scary Spice's Babidaddy was seen at 59th and 5th Ave wishing to gawd that he shouldn't have made Daddy Day Care.

Leonardo DiCaprio at 110 Waverly Place looking good like the fine specimen that he is.

The Show Of The Summa

This show is the shizNIT! So appreantly during the summer months there is very little intellectually stimulating programming on TV....well there ain't if you have HBO!

ENTOURAGE

I mean, I don't even know why it took me so damn long to get into this show, but this show is BANGIN! It's really intuitive into the world of Hollywood and the life of celebrity. I LOVE the Kevin Dillion character Johnny "Drama" Chase. This dlister actor riding on the coat tails of his super star brother Vincent Chase---I personally refer to him as "sexy ass".

Adrien Grenier is hot! A friend of mine saw him once in person here and she told me he's even hotter in person...

Don't doubt that for a minute.

Did yall see Sunday's last episode? My cure for The Sopranos is now ENTOURAGE.

Thank you HBO for giving me a reason to hang onto my subscription.

The show airs every Sunday nite at 9p.m. on HBO

Who Should Be Cast in the New Grey’s Anatomy Spinoff??

So as you already know, Grey’s Anatomy---the best show in prime time television (according to Jamie) —is giving birth to a baby Grey’s Anatomy. In the TV world it’s called a "spin off".
Now, there have already been some actors attached to this show. We all know that Kate Walsh (Dr. Addison Montgomery) is going to leave Seattle and moving to Los Angeles (where the show is set to take place).

We also know that Taye Diggs will play a doctor on the show. Not sure if he’s Addison’s love interest, or just a co-worker, but I’m sure eventually they’ll be knockin boots.

Here are ABC’s choices so far for the new L.A. doctors:

Kate Walsh (as Dr. Addison Montgomery)
Taye Diggs
Merrin Dungey (Sandy on Boston Legal)
Amy Brenneman (known from Judging Amy)
Chris Lowell (from the now canceled Vernoica mars)
Tim Daly (he was on that show Wings)
Paul Adelstein (from Prison Break)

Ok is it me or does this cast make you want to fall asleep? Damn what a Boring Vanilla ass, CBS movie of the week collective this is, if Shonda wants this show to be able to come out from under the shadows of its original jugguranaut hit then they will need to add some interesting actors into the mix.


So we at NYIndieSeen, feel that first and foremost, we should be Hollywood casting directors. I mean just look at our picks for Spider man 4…casting at its best right?

**Disclaimer: we include actors who we WOULD NOT cast in Spidey 4 too if u choose to browse that blog**

Now back to Grey’s…so here are our pick for who should be cast in the new Grey’s Anatomy spin off!!

Tamara Taylor – she’s the cutey from Party Of Five that got it on with Matthew Fox, she can play the neuro surgeon who cant find love, or something

Victoria Rowell – why not? She’s had experience playing a doctor on TV and she's definetly believable, plus I want to see her gettin it on with a babeolicious new intern!

Jonathan Jackson – As the hot young gay intern that needs to be shown the ropes…and we’re not talking medicine here! OKayyyyy

Lisa Bonet – Of course as the hippy dippy bohemian doctor whose penchant for Holistic medicine clashes with the hospitals practices.

Jay Hernandez – Six Degrees is canceled right? He needs a job, plus he could make for a fine ass doctor.

Boris Kodjoe – the sexy new resident…the ultimate eye candy!! , I think I'm catching a fever

Haley Joel Osment – remember Doogie Howser M.D.? It could work right? It be kinda scandalous if he got it on with one of the residents though!, Plus he sees dead people.










Marissa Tomei – she'd be the sassy independent surgeon, plus ,wouldn’t you want Marissa to operate on you?

Lindsay Price - As the young go getter intern with an imposing family (sorta like a Cristina-in-waiting)

Blair Underwood – the new McDreamy

Neve Campbell – I miss Neve! She needs to comeback to TV and star on this show! I can see her as a resident who gets caught up with an intern

Sarah Gilbert – the obligatory lesbian doctor who is willing to prove that her sexuality is only a trivial part of who she is, but she initiates a sexual awakening to some of the female doctors on staff

Meredith Salenger – Patrick Dempsey made an 80’s comeback why not Meredith? Plus she’s still cute and her nick name could be Dr. Dream a Lil Dreamette









Dennis Haskins – Chief of Staff. Okay, I know we could be going out on a limb..but wouldn’t it be cool if Mr. Belding was the chief? It would be high school all over again!!
