Cougar Town Season 5, Episode 2 “Like a Diamond”
Written by Melody Durloshon
Directed by Brian Van Holt
Airs Tuesday nights at 10pm on TBS
Like last week’s season premiere, “Like a Diamond” takes a common idea – here, it’s ‘truth’ – and embeds it in each plot of the episode in some way. However, unlike last week, “Like a Diamond” is never funny or interesting enough to give weight to any of its events, a victim to stunt casting and some of the more uncomfortable Unlikable Jules material we’ve seen since Cougar Town‘s moved to TBS. As with previous efforts to bring the Friends cast to Cougar Town, Matthew Perry’s short visit to Florida is nothing more than empty comedy, often at the expense of its main character.
Perry guest stars as Sam Johnston, a rich, lonely venture capitalist who Jules drives into looking for her wedding ring...

Travel company Inspiring Journeys has launched a series of webisodes off the back of its ‘Kakadu Cab’ campaign.
The experiential campaign, which launched in August, gave unwitting taxi passengers 15 seconds to decide whether to go on to their intended destination – or be taken to Kakadu to experience one of Inspiring Journeys’ holiday packages.
Four couples took up the offer, and their experiences documented in four short films.
The intro video:
Ivy’s journey
Christine’s journey
Genson’s Journey
Geoff’s journey
The Kakadu Cab campaign is being soft launched this week, with a bigger PR and social media push scheduled for early next year, timed with the launch of Inspiring Journeys’ 2013 brochure.
“The Kakadu Cab webisodes do a fantastic job of highlighting the beauty of Kakadu as well as showcasing Inspiring Journeys’ experiential tours. Best of all, they immediately trigger your desire to visit Kakadu and remind you of...

Chicago – Following our low-grade review of the new Jesse Eisenberg and Aziz Ansari comedy “30 Minutes or less,” what we find most interesting is why these talented stars think it’s much funnier than it actually is.
HollywoodChicago.com recently discussed the keep-it-real film with “The Social Network” Oscar nominee Jesse Eisenberg and “Parks and Recreation” star Aziz Ansari. But overall, they struggled to sell a middle-of-the-road gag reel as the top-notch comedy they’d like it to be.

HollywoodChicago.com: The humor in “30 Minutes or Less” comes from keeping it real and being clueless. Like when Jesse Eisenberg’s character has a bomb strapped to his chest and he has no idea what to do. So, of course, he turns to Wikipedia.
Aziz Ansari: Yes, we had the same thought when we shot the film.

Chicago – The new half-unfunny comedy “30 Minutes or Less” stands as a destructive come down for newly minted star Jesse Eisenberg following his high-profile role as Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg in David Fincher’s “The Social Network”.
Rating: 2.0/5.0
That 2010 film only won three Oscars and racked up another 88 award wins and 79 nominations. Plus “The Social Network” grossed $224 million at the global box office on a production budget of $40 million. And yes, there’s a reason I’m discussing this past Eisenberg film more prominently so far in this review than his current film.
The disparity between those past award wins and that box-office success as compared to Eisenberg’s current film (he voiced the animated film “Rio” between the two) will be light years apart. No Oscar nominations will be earned for this new comedy from first-time writer Michael Diliberti, basically first-time scribe Matthew Sullivan and, most disappointingly, the director of...
