Lots of Show Biz Biz: Starting off with Kevin Costner on a couple items. So while his new three hour movie, Horizon: An American Saga – Chapter One, got a standing ovation at the Cannes, the few Rotten Tomatoes reviewers have given it a horrible 29%! I seldom agree with Rotten Tomatoes, but since I haven’t seen the movie yet, I’m flying blind, but others I’ve talked to who have seen it say it’s great, it’s the 3 hours that’s bad! And regarding Costner, with this movie plus, Field Of Dreams, Bull Durham, JFK, Dancing with Wolves, The Untouchables, Bodyguard and other films to his credit, it’s hard to believe this film sucks as Rotten Tomatoes says!
I’ve been saying for months that Netflix has been very busy trying to secure a lot more sports programming. Well they keep making major strides to get er done. They just signed a three year deal with the NFL to stream the two games that are played on Christmas! They have extended the Netflix Cup and Netflix Slam that are exhibition golf and tennis. Don’t forget the huge Mike Tyson versus Jake Paul fight! And the ink is still drying on a $5 billion multi-year deal with the WWF, and there is more to come, stay tuned!
What do Jimi Hendrix, Jim Morrison and Kurt Cobain all have in common, other than being members of the 27 club, rock and rollers who died at 27. They have also all had biopic/documentary big screen movies about them. Now Amy Winehouse who is also in the 27 club joins them with her movie Back to Black. However, Janis Joplin is also in the 27 club but there’s never been a big screen movie about her! If you ask me, she the biggest and the best of the rest!
