Ringo Starr Receives French Award

 

Ringostarr1

Beatles drummer Ringo Starr has joined one of the art world's most exclusive clubs after being appointed a Commander of France's Order of Arts and Letters.

In Monaco where an exhibition featuring two of his paintings is taking place, the man who is considered one of the world's best drummers was handed the award Tuesday by France's ambassador Hugues Moret.

"I'm a drummer, but I can do other things. Like painting, living, breathing," the 73-year-old quipped while posing for photos in front of the museum, which coincidentally has on display an old, bright yellow submarine.

The award ceremony took place in front of the Oceanographic Museum in Monaco, which is holding an exhibition that showcases the hidden passion for art of various famous people including Starr, Paul McCartney and Bob Dylan.

He joins a club that already features Chinese film director Wong Kar Wai, Scottish actor Sean Connery, singer David Bowie and the late Irish poet Seamus Heaney.

The Yellow Submarine finally has its own authentic Commander Ringo!

Movie Review ... The Incredible Burt Wonderstone

 

The-Incredible-Burt-Wonderstone-posterLas Vegas and magic go hand in hand.  Both deal with the art of illusion with the suspense in receiving the ultimate pay-off palatable.  This is why so many Vegas set productions have featured magic and mystical happenings.  ‘Wonderstone’ has plenty of those within its decent comedy.  Vegas is still portrayed as an ode to ultra-kitsch tackiness although the trick is in unearthing its true manner behind the facade.

Burt Wonderstone (Steve Carell) and Anton Marvelton (Steve Buscemi) are one of Las Vegas’ biggest magic acts.  When an accident forces Anton to retire, Burt attempts to go it alone. Unfortunately his efforts are unsuccessful, especially when he finds himself competing with extreme street magician Steve Gray (Jim Carrey).  Desperate to please his casino owner boss Doug (James Gandolfini), Burt aims to reunite with Anton and restore their reputation as Vegas’ finest dazzling partnership.

Those expecting the magic of originality with ‘Wonderstone’ may be disappointed.  It follows a familiar path with the various obstacles its characters face routine.  What it lacks in that area it more than makes up for in the performer’s enthusiasm.  The leads elevate the predictable script with some fine characterisation bringing life to their roles.  As Burt struggles to adapt to changing tastes, re-discovering his love for his art is amusingly conveyed by Carell’s dead-pan delivery. 

‘Wonderstone’ has a lot of heart without making it too saccharine.  The character development is handled effectively with the comedy more reliant on genuine wit than crudity.  This makes for an easy-flowing film making the most of its premise.  The street-scapes of Vegas look suitably spectacular, often mirroring the gargantuan task Burt has in returning from the professional abyss.

A fun, amiable slice of fluff ‘Wonderstone’ does the required job. It isn’t a genre world-beater but there are plenty of laughs to be had – which is a trick not many comedies know how to perform.

NCIS Planning New Orleans Based Spin-Off

 

mark-harmon-p76

TV’s most watched drama is planning an off-shoot that will be set in New Orleans and introduced via a planted pilot to air during spring 2014.

NCIS: New Orleans will be executive-produced by NCIS showrunner Gary Glasberg and series star Mark Harmon.

The NCIS New Orleans office apparently handles cases from Pensacola through Mississippi and Louisiana to the Texas panhandle.

The news comes less than a year after CBS announced its plan for an NCIS: Los Angeles spin-off, NCIS: Red, which aired last spring as a planted pilot (starring Kim Raver and John Corbett) but failed to land a spot on the 2013-14 schedule.
