A Last Goodbye

Jeff Buckley

Penn Badgely Jeff BuckleyAndy Mientus Smash Last Goodbye Jeff Buckley

Along with Bridegroom, I’m anxious to see Greetings from Tim Buckley.   While it’s based on one true event, the rest is fiction.  ”Greetings from Tim Buckley” explores Jeff Buckley coming to terms of being abandoned by his legendary father.  Cast as Buckley is Gossip Girls Penn Badgley.   I imagine that it would be difficult for anyone to portray someone who, because of his untimely and tragic drowning at age 30, has become a mythical hero. 

I’m not a fan of NBC’s “Smash”.  So much whining!  I must give major props to Andy Mientus who blew me away with his cover of Buckley’s “The Last Goodbye”.  It was the emotional closing song of Saturday’s episode.  I was starting to change my mind about this show…until the last second.  Why do they always kill the (cute) gay character?!

Nicholas Hoult

Because we need more zombie movies (but this one looks good!)…  The zombie is played by Nicholas Hoult, who some may remember as “Tony Stonem” in the (original) British television series “Skins”.   Some may also remember him as Hank McCoy (“Beast”) in the X Men First Class.   Everyone should remember him as “Marcus Brewer” in the Hugh Grant movie “About A Boy”.  The movie also stars John Malkovich, Dave Franco and Rob Corddry
