You know how Tom Cruise is always seen running in every movie, well Jason Statham is seen kicking in all of his. Burger Fiction put all of them together for a video that goes over 7 minutes and I got a kick out of it.
If they make a movie about the Rockettes, they have to find a way to have him star in it as one of them.
You know that feeling you get when you go to a music festival. XOXO captures that feeling but without all the smelly people and crowds stepping on and elbowing you. Therefore, you can Netflix & Chill with it tonight or any night you want to go to a Rave from the comfort of your home.
XOXO is the biggest Rave in the country, and several people’s lives are going to collide at it.
Ethan Shaw (Graham Phillips) is an amateur DJ who has become a YouTube sensation. His manager/friend Tariq (Brett DeBuono) gets him a slot at XOXO that night. Since they are just teenagers and they aren’t professionals, Tariq has to stay behind to finish his shift at his dad’s restaurant and sends Ethan on a Party Bus.
While on the Party Bus, he meets Ray (Colin Woodell) and Shannie (Hayley Kiyoko). They have been going out forever, but now she is moving away and this is their last festival together. They have yet to have the talk about where their relationship is going to go. Something they won’t be able to avoid when their ride breaks down.
Neil (Chris D’Elia) is the captain of the bus and he is also the owner of a failing record store. He is anti-everything about XOXO, but he is still going to go. Although, things just got harder for him to get there now that his bus broke down in the middle of the desert and everyone wants to kill him.
Ray and Shannie hitch a ride in a van and they ask Ethan to join them. When they finally get to the Box Office, Ethan finds out he doesn’t have a ticket. He tries reaching Tariq to no avail. Ray gives him his ticket and in he goes. Leaving Ray without a ticket and long line for Shannie and him to wait on to get one.
Inside XOXO is Krystal (Sarah Hyland). She went there with her friends, but she is also there to meet the man she has been only online dating for a month. Their song is Shaw’s tune and they agree to finally meet during his set.
Meanwhile things get worse for Ethan, when he can’t get backstage to set up because his name isn’t on the list. He meets Krystal for a second, but they go on their different ways.
When XOXO is at capacity Ray and Shannie can’t get in, and they have to find another way to get inside. Where Neil is trying to avoid anyone and everyone. Then there is Tariq who finally makes it there and someone accidentally slips him something that puts him on a trip of no return.
Everything seems to be going wrong for all of them, but then something magical happens and they all have the time of their lives because after all this XOXO.
XOXO perfectly intertwines these stories of six people, some who knew each other before the Festival and others who will meet when they are there. It flows like the perfect song and the groovy soundtrack matches it.
You never get bored because it plays out like DJ’s turnstile. Songs that shouldn’t go to together do and create one masterpiece you can’t get out of your head. A masterpiece that leaves you feeling happy because the perfect song can do that someone. That is XOXO.
It is a six stories one on turnstile that creates the perfect movie. It leaves you with a huge smile on your face. Actually, it leaves you jumping for joy because the last song makes you get up and dance along with them.
Back in 1988, we got to know Mayim Bialik and Marcie Leeds in a little movie called Beaches where they played the little version of leads. Now 18 years later, they are recreating the roles that made them stars in honor of the late Garry Marshall, the Director who took a chance on them.
It is almost like they are still the 11 year old versions CC Bloom and Hillary Whitney. So much so, that I don’t know why Lifetime didn’t cast them to play the leads in their remake. How brilliant would that have been?
Dance Moms is back next month on Lifetime, and it looks things are going to catty this season. At least in this purrfect promo that is.
What is really scary is even with all of these meowvelous kitties acting out the parts, Abby Lee Miller comes off even meaner when she has a hissy fit. Which is every scene she is in on the show, as we know. Meow!
The claws come out again on September 6th.
Earlier this week, there was a story about Barbra Streisand calling Tim Cook to tell him about how Siri mispronounces her last name and she confirmed it on The Tonight Show yesterday. She told Jimmy Fallon that you would think after 50 years people would know how to properly pronounce her name, but they don’t.
She says it is Streye-sand not Streye-zand. I don’t know about you, but I always thought it was the latter.
Maybe she needs to do a song like Liza with Z did because we all know Liza Minnelli’s first name is “Liza with Z not Lisa with an S,” and her last one is, “M I double N then E double L I.”
Not only is Babs last name hard to say, but she doesn’t spell her first one the common way. That is two strikes in my book and needs a song that will get stuck in out Memory.
