The Cinema Verite Trailer: Jon & Kate Plus James Gandolfini

There is something truly amazing yet unsettling about hearing James Gandolfini talk in his non-Tony Soprano voice. It has a dog-walking-on-hind-legs quality to it — your ears do what amounts to a double take. Of course, the different voice choices are how you know when Gandolfini is “acting” and not merely doing a variation on his famed — and brilliant — portrayal of Tony Soprano on The Sopranos . Sometimes the accents fail (cough, Welcome to the Rileys ), but they are always an interesting choice. To wit: His affectation as a sleazy reality television producer in 1970s California is perfect in the trailer for Cinema Verite . How about the rest of this movie-about-a-documentary telefilm?

Mr. Sunshine Star James Lesure on Matthew Perry and His Other Favorite Friends Alum

How Would Simon Cowell Actually Critique the Superstars in the New X Factor Promo?

One interesting aspect of American Idol ‘s legacy is the angst leveled at contestants who haven’t become Billboard smashes. Is Melinda Doolittle less talented than Kelly Clarkson because she didn’t have a Hot 100 hit? I think not. It takes a certain type of skill set to emerge from a talent competition with untarnished durability (and credibility), and frankly, plenty of our singing superstars wouldn’t have made the leap. Let’s take a look at the new promo for Simon Cowell’s X Factor , which touts plenty of stars who have the all-important “It” factor (including Katy Perry, Justin Bieber, and Lady Gaga), and see how Simon would appraise them in a regular audition.

The young boy Blake continues to astound, now adding another monstrous alley-oop to his dunk highlight reel, one they may challenge last week’s offering. To be fair, majority credit here should be given to Randy Foye for the dead-on delivery.
