HBO's decision to release Entourage's third season in two parts makes watching the already brief season on DVD feel even more abrupt; compared to part one's 12 episodes, part two is just eight--and just as the plot feels like it's finally moving, it's over. Also over, at least as part two opens, is the working relationship between movie star Vincent Chase (Adrian Grenier) and agent Ari Gold (Jeremy Piven). Playing much like a real breakup, the two circle each other in various spots in Hollywood--avoiding, making small talk, attempting the just-friends hangout. But deep down, the two know they're meant for each other, and when Ari dangles the rights to Vincent's dream project--the Pablo Escobar biopic Medellín--Vincent is only too happy to meet, against the wishes of his new agent (Carla Gugino). The pursuit of the Medellín project is the focus of part two, from trying to close the deal on Yom Kippur (not the easiest when the studio execs are observing the holy day), to mulling an indecent proposal from a prince and his wife in exchange for financing the flick. Meanwhile, Johnny Drama (Kevin Dillon, who finally scored an Emmy nomination for this season) enjoys success on an Edward Burns-produced network drama called Five Towns. Turtle and Eric don't get as much storyline in this installment, and while there's plenty of Piven scenery to chew there's not enough of his scene-stealing assistant, Lloyd (Rex Lee). Bonus features remain minimal: commentary, a behind-the-scenes featurette. Perhaps that's the running theme of part two: There's just not enough. --Ellen A. Kim

 Great episodes of great show - but "The Suits" jerk us around September 24, 2009
Mark J. Fowler (Okinawa, Japan)

Interesting for a show that follows the entourage of a Hollywood actor, and makes much of the dichotomy between "the artists" (who lean towards prestige projects with actual acting, writing, etc.) and "the suits" (who ALWAYS have an eye on the money-making potential of a project) that HBO decided to break this admittedly SLIGHTLY longer season into two pieces - and charge the same for this 8 episode set as for the other 12 episode sets. The show that glorifies the artist and derides the suits is presented here in a COMPLETELY "suit" decision. Sad.
Do you feel a little jerked around? I do.
This is not at all an indictment on these 8 delicious episodes. Vinny has a professional breakup with Ari, but Ari still hovers just over Vince's horizon, trying to woo him back. Johnny Drama's show "Five Towns" debuts and the wonderful insecure bravado almost melts down when the reviews start. In one wonderful episode Drama is the targeted for a "Punk'd" type show hosted by Pauly Shore. After stealing a parking spot from UFC Champion Chuck Liddell Johnny is convinced that the professional brawler will be coming for revenge. They go home and tee up UFC footage - showing Liddell pounding another professional into smithereens. It is really a tribute to Kevin Dillon's acting ability that I simultaneously felt sympathy for Drama and was laughing my head off as he whimpered to his buds "sweet, merciful Jesus", imagining Liddell doing some similar damage to his insecure face.
Vince has a new agent, played by Carla Gugino, after firing Ari, and the tension between the three of them is palpable. There are several excellent Ari moments - such as Ari's sudden acquisition of a little humanity making him unable to fire an agent who is losing money. Ari's shrink tries telling him that his new compassion is a GOOD thing, but he is desperate to get his "edge" back. Another brilliant episode has Ari and another of his Jewish clients (Nick Rubenstein, played in matching apoplectic fashion by Adam Goldberg) trying to close a deal on Yom Kippor - while surrounded by their families and other worshipers who think that doing business, using any transportation other than foot, even using a phone, is a sin against God. Ari has never been more torn.
Turtle gets a hot romantic interest - the daughter of the custom car shop where he has Drama's cruiser fixed up. Eric is mainly a sidekick to Vince, although in one humorous episode he is hoping for a weekend retreat to Napa with girlfriend Sloan. He gets his wish, but as the saying goes - be careful what you wish for...
So - 8 excellent episodes of a superb series - with you the viewer jerked around by exactly the kind of people the creative artists of this series despise. Ironic, huh?
Continues the Amusement September 14, 2009
J. Heivilin (Columbia, MO USA)
A friend recommended the series and I put the first season on netflix. It only took 3 episodes before I returned it to netflix and bought the first two seasons. It's been loads of fun watching their antics and this season continues the fun.
Still Hilarious & Knowing...but one false scene September 13, 2009
The JuRK (Our Vast, Cultural Desert)
I've been eating up the ENTOURAGE shows and have watched the entire first five seasons in about two weeks.
But I think I hit my first moment in the series where I didn't believe it in a second.
When Vince meets with the Saudi prince for financing for his dream project, MEDELLIN, he's expected to have sex with the prince's wife. For the wife, it's a given. For the husband, he demands it to keep her happy. And Vince bails. Why did this ring false to me? Because Vince has had sex with EVERYONE in Hollywood, from his co-stars to the girls hanging out in Starbucks to a cashier in a Barnes & Noble to his new agent. Plus, he even tells Eric that he has a "thing" for Eastern European women--which the Saudi prince's wife is the stereotype.
The Pablo Escobar project means everything to Vince. He's willing to sacrifice his career, his finances, even Ari to get his hands on it. And he can't "act" like he's enjoying the hot Eastern European wife of a nut who's offering more than double the budget for the movie?
Maybe I'm reading too far into the show...but my point is that it's a great enough show to pay this kind of attention to.
The scenes of Ari and Lloyd are worth it alone. I can't tell you how many times I've watched the highlights online.
Great show July 30, 2009

I love the show but, I wish there was more content on the dvds . . .
 great show July 25, 2009
Nick Chavis (Raeford, NC)
I stopped buying these part versions and started paying for a internet download site to download the whole version when it is released, its legit and I pay for it but not nearly as much as i pay for all these "parts" that add up.
