Silver Linings Playbook” – Bradley Cooper plays Pat, a severely bipolar ex-teacher who has been released from a mental health facility which he was in for assaulting his wife’s lover. He goes home to live with his soft-hearted mother (Jacki Weaver) and his beleaguered bookie dad (Robert De Niro), and he immediately begins to make their lives miserable. Obsessed with reconnecting with his ex, he alienates everyone around him until he meets Tiffany (Jennifer Lawrence) who is just as damaged and overbearing as he is. The two form an unlikely friendship as Tiffany ropes him into a dance competition which becomes a form of therapy for them both.

This film has some of the best performances of 2012 and it is no surprise it has been nominated for multiple Oscars and has won many awards already. Both Cooper and Lawrence are fantastic and have some of the best chemistry I’ve seen in an onscreen couple in years. The supporting A-list cast gives it all they’ve got. Jacki Weaver is sweet and naïve like Edith Bunker and De Niro looks like he’s not phoning it in for the first time since “Ronin” back in 1998.

Romantic comedies are usually my least favorite genre because of their insufferable predictability but “Silver Linings Playbook” improves upon the formula. I think it’s the best romantic comedy to release since “When Harry Met Sally” and “Forget Paris.” This one is a must-see. Projected rental release date: February or March of 2013.

    Hello Web Admin, I noticed that your On-Page SEO is is missing a few factors, for one you do not use all three H tags in your post, also I notice that you are not using bold or italics properly in your SEO optimization. On-Page SEO means more now than ever since the new Google update: Panda. No longer are backlinks and simply pinging or sending out a RSS feed the key to getting Google PageRank or Alexa Rankings, You now NEED On-Page SEO. So what is good On-Page SEO?First your keyword must appear in the title.Then it must appear in the URL.You have to optimize your keyword and make sure that it has a nice keyword density of 3-5% in your article with relevant LSI (Latent Semantic Indexing). Then you should spread all H1,H2,H3 tags in your article.Your Keyword should appear in your first paragraph and in the last sentence of the page. You should have relevant usage of Bold and italics of your keyword.There should be one internal link to a page on your blog and you should have one image with an alt tag that has your keyword….wait there’s even more Now what if i told you there was a simple Wordpress plugin that does all the On-Page SEO, and automatically for you? That’s right AUTOMATICALLY, just watch this 4minute video for more information at. Seo Plugin

Morgan Freeman asks Coop a question at THE BEST DAY premiere! Video below…


My short film THE BEST DAY premiered in October 2011 at the Delta Cinema in Clarksdale, Mississippi.

Little did I know I had a special guest in the audience who was about to ask me a question during the Q&A. Yep, I got a little flustered when I saw who it was.
