My Sexiest Year is a film starring Frankie Muniz and has been long awaited. It recently premièred and here is the first review.
A ’70s-set flashback to a teen’s sexual initiation by a beautiful, compassionate older woman, “My Sexiest Year” smacks of the 70s (”Summer of ‘42,” anyone?), before such delicate vignettes were torpedoed in the ’80s by “Fast Times at Ridgemont High” and even the raucous, ostensibly ’50s-set “Porky’s.” Uneasily combining Neil Simon-esque childhood memoir with contempo puberty comedy, helmer-scribe Howard Himelstein’s nostalgic wallow is rescued by the considerable talents of its colorful cast. Still, the flaccid ThinkFilm pickup may flounder with the under-60 set.

Seventeen-year-old budding writer Jake (Frankie Muniz, in a sweeter, less ironically dysfunctional variation on his titular “Malcolm in the Middle” persona) is sent to Miami by his secretly ill mother (Frances Fisher, evoking an entire loving Brooklyn childhood in a few short scenes) to stay with his estranged dad Zowie (Harvey Keitel), a feckless racetrack handicapper.
En route south, Jake is befriended by a perpetually high rich kid (Ryan Cabrera), who introduces Jake to the affluent “in” crowd at school as the son of a famous racehorse owner. Unable to come clean, the modest Brooklyn boy is soon respected by all, though he neither smokes, drinks nor drawls.
Meanwhile, on the beach, a group of international models have set up a shoot, including blonde beauty Marina (a luminous Amber Valletta), whose drop-dead good looks are matched only by her melancholy kindness. Responding to Jake’s innate chivalry, Marina soon takes him under her wing and into her bed, fulfilling his every fantasy, particularly when she shows up at school the next day for a farewell kiss.
Pic is an odd mishmash of motley ingredients from disparate genres and different eras. Zowie, sinking under a streak of bad luck, struts his dignity in Damon Runyon-esque run-ins with an old loan-shark pal and his disrespectful minions. Keitel’s slow conversion — from fear that his kid may be “light in the loafers” to admiration for his talent — profits greatly from the actor’s obvious enjoyment of his character’s comically swaggering obtuseness.
Marina and her fellow models conjure softcore sexploitation flicks, while the high school kids rep an idle rich defined solely by clothes, cars and drugs. And Jake’s sensitive writer could have sprung from any decade.
When pic stays securely locked inside its flashback, its male-fantasy anomalies remain fairly innocuous. The same can’t be said of its framing present-tense story, in which Jake is now a bestselling author.
Tech credits suffer slightly from pic’s uncertain period reconstruction.

…we hear from an inside source at the show that the Frankie Muniz ep is super: “The episode focuses on a graphic novelist, and visually, it will be like no other Criminal Minds you have ever seen. The script is freakin’ amazing.”

Frankie was at the Hands on the Wheel safe driving campaign in Las Vegas at the end of last month. Frankie said:
If we just get the word out there and people try to tell their friends, don’t text while you are driving, it will help bring accidents down and make driving a lot safer.

Here at the VC we dislike Perez Hilton, however if he reports on the Malcolm cast we will comment. He has added his usual sleazy graffti to the above image and says:
Showing some skin! Frankie Muniz is ready to play with some balls!
The Malcom in the Middle alum, wearing an LA Clippers jersey, had lunch with a friend at West Hollywood cafe La Conversation on Saturday. Muniz has recently given up acting in the hopes of being an amateur race car driver.
He’s kinda hot - if you like guys that look like they do lots of meth and should be on an episode of Cops! Frankie and Aaron Carter should be BFFs!
Perez comments again:
What star was able to score this fine ass pussy??? Aren’t these ladies keepers????
It’s Malcolm in the Middle alum Frankie Muniz, leaving Hyde [West Hollywood Club] with some hos on Monday night. Who would have guess?

Frankie on September 16 raced in the Mazda MX-5 Cup which took place at Miller Motorsports Park in Tooele, Utah. During practice, Frankie finished in 8th place out of 28 drivers. A good results considering this was Frankie’s first time racing in a proper sedan race car.
Following Friday’s qualifying session, Frankie started Saturday’s main race in 6th place. During lap 10 of the race, Frankie and Matt Cross were battling for 2nd place, but contact was made on turn 1 causing them both to slid of course. Frankie finished in 25th place.
He was on ABC4 News, see the videos below.

As with these things nothing is 100% reliable, but we report it and you can make up your own mind.
USMagazine is reporting that, Lindsay Lohan has been in rehab for more than two months but Frankie had this to say at Us’s Hot Hollywood party on September 26:
“[Lohan] is going to come back an even bigger celebrity than she ever was — and that sucks!” ….“Her last four movies have failed miserably, but she’s still going to have a $10 million paycheck.”….Frankie puts the blame on the very Hollywood machine that made him and Lohan child stars. “As a young actor, you have to mature very fast in an adult business…and there aren’t enough people who say ‘no,’ ” he says, adding, “When Lindsay was pulled over for the second time for a DUI, nobody said, ‘I’ll never work with her again.’ It’s ridiculous to me.”
This does support Frankie’s repeated expression of dislike for Hollywood the people in the business.
