Babe of the Week?

So I think in order for me to keep up with the site a bit more often than I already do, I'm implementing a Babe of the Week feature!!! She may or may not be prudent to modern events, but hey this is my blog and only 3 people read it so i'll do what I want.

This weeks honors go to the stunning:

Megan Fox


Megan was born May 16th 1986. Yes kids she's only 23! Now I wasn't the biggest Megan Fox fan when she hit the screen. Exotic? yes! Sexy? yes! But I just didn't see the hype that was swelling. Then again her ego swelled double the size of the attraction. But I did catch Transformers this week and there is just something about well design slow-motion chase scenes that make a man change his mind. So that being said, Fox has entered my top 10. But that's just me. FHM and Maxim rank her #2 of 100 in their latest poll for "Sexiest Woman in the World." This girl has worked her way up the movie ladder.

Filmography:

Bad Boys II - Uncredited Extra

1 Episode of Two and a Half Men

Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen

Regular on Hope & Faith <--- did anyone watch this?

Then the most famous- Mikalea in Transformers

I like her dedication and the fact that she knows how hot she is and she's going to run with it as long as she can. Fame can vanish in a blink and I think she's well aware of it. So here are some more smoking pics. Enjoy!











*** Fox has also openly stated that she supports the legalization of marijuana, saying "I don't even think of it as a drug -- it should be legalized," and continuing with "When they do, I'll be the first person in line to buy my pack of joints," and "I can't tell you how much bullshit I've been through because I will openly say that I smoke weed. People look at it like it's this crazy, hippy, fucked-up thing to do. And it's not. I hope they legalize it."

Witness!

What have we learned about the great Lebron James after WITNESSing his demise in the NBA conference finals this past weekend? In order to understand the magnitude of of the defeat we must first analyse it construction.


Who is Lebron James? He's known as the King. And not of burgers. 24 years old, Lebron entered the 2008-09 season as a 6th year Cleveland Cavalier. This kid stands a staggering 6'8" and carries an impressive 250 lbs of what appears to be solid steel muscle! The guy is simply a BEAST! He's the 2004 NBA Rookie of the Year, 5xAll-Star, and the 2009 MVP. He is the youngest player to be named: MVP, All-Star MVP and Rookie of the Year. Youngest player to: score 50 points in a game, score 2,000 points in a season, reach 1,000 2,000 3,000 4,000 5,000 6,000 7,000 8,000 9,000 10,000 11,000 and 12,000 career points. Compared to the Great Michael Jordan, in their first 6yrs, Jordan scored 14,016 points while King James has put up 12,993. Neither won a Championship going into their 7th year.

Coming out of college, Lebron signed a very lucrative endorsement deal with Nike and since then has marketed himself to the fullest extent. He as added endorsements deals with sprite, bubblicious and upper deck to his resume throughout the years and in 2007 was ranked #1 by Forbes as top earner under 25 w/ $27 Million per year. Lebron is like a big kid (not just cause he's gigantic) but when it comes to the two things he's most passionate about, money and basketball, he's all business! Financially, Lebron has ambitions of being a Global commodity and wishes to become the first Billionaire Athlete (despite the fact that Tiger Woods is a breath away from that same feet).

Entering the playoffs this year, Cleveland had 66 wins (leading all of NBA teams) and Lebron was averaging 28.4 ppg, 7.2 apg and 7.6 rpg and did I mention he won MVP honors this year? Lebron's Cavaliers faced off against the Pistons of Detroit. The Cavs kept their motor on full speed ahead coming out of the regular season to beat the Pistons in 4 games. James averaged 32 points per game in that series. After a few days off, King James took that same team against a tough Atlanta Hawk team. But the mighty Hawks were no match for the King and his court. Atlanta fell in another 4 game series. James averaged 34 in that series not to mention he dropped 47 in game 3. With Lebron standing tall and with a Kobe vs Lebron NBA finals lingering in media heaven, only one man stood in the way. And the biggest man of all men to boot.


23yr old Dwight Howard of the Orlando Magic. 1st overall draft pick of the following James draft year, Dwight stands 6'11" 265 with shoulders that appear wider than my wingspan. Dubbed with the nickname "Superman" Howard could play chicken with a freight train and I think the train would fall on the loosing side. The series ended in an exasperating Cleveland loss in game 6. The Kings court was a no show when time to prove to the world that they were the answer to Cleveland's woes. James dropped 49, 35, 41, 44, 37 and 25 (231) while the rest of the Cavaliers had only 376. That's right people, Lebron was accountable for 76% of the scoring throughout the series. That is an insane amount of responsibility. When the final horn sounded to conclude the series in Orlando with the scoreboard showing a 13 point defeat to the King, Lebron simply walked off the court and into the locker room without any acknowledgement to his opponents for a job well done.

I found it to be extremely disappointing that he conducted himself with such poor manor and distastefulness in an arena where sportsmanship outweighs emotion. Lebron has been catching some heat for his actions and has defended it with the simple comment of "I am a competitor, I'm a winner. I don't think its right to congratulate someone who just beat you up." No coming from me, the kid who has played in over 4 organized sports (baseball, basketball, soccer and softball) it is customary and one of the first fundamentals of athletics that you congratulate your opponent despite the outcome of the match. Even if you hate their faces and wish death upon their families, you bite your tongue and you line up on the field of battle and you, at least say "good game."

Lebron is a winner. That idea is understandable. But he's also a sore loser. He's gotten to the point that he's too good for loosing. It may have to do with his age, maybe with the pressure put on him by a City drenched in defeat or even the teammates and coaches around him who are all looking up at him like he's the saviour of their people. But any of the reasons that can be stated, the conclusion is the same, his actions were classless. I fell that Lebron James, King James, will go down in sports history as the GREATEST NBA PLAYER to ever play. He has the skill and talent within him to lift any team to great heights. He has a long and prosperous career ahead of him that can be filled with gold rings, gold basketballs and MVP trophies that can fill a house. But non will mean anything if he isn't humble. Humble for the gift and talent that lies within him. For the opportunity to go out and do great things. And for the growth, knowledge and honor that comes with defeat.

Summer Blockbuster Update!

So as we head into Memorial Day weekend, I'll take this oportunity to rate already released films.

Against my own recommendation, I saw Wolverine in its opening weekend. I'll start by saying this, can I have my money back please? I don't have too much to write about since the movie was so forgetable I can't actually remember anything worth writing about. I know there was Wolverine, and he cried a lot. And Sabertooth kept killing everyone. And then Ryan Reynolds showed up for about a minute but answered a cell phone call from FOX telling him that he had to hurry over to Studio 6 to start filming the Deadpool spinoff so that FOX can rake in another $100 Million on a bad creation of a beautiful franchise. Then after he left Wolverine got really angry for a minute but then realized that he's really Hue Jackman and he should be on broadway not playing the most dangerous mutant hero ever to grace the pages of a comic book. Then the rolled credits and everyone sat there wondering if the last 2hrs of their life just happened. 4/10

I also caught Star Trek this past weekend and let me start off by saying this, WOW! I was not dissapointed in any aspect of the film. Acting was A+, Character praise for original show was Spot-on, CGI was beautiful and perfectly used to display a fluid and realistic feel. Eric Bana, who plays Nero the villian, really stepped up to the plate and cracked one over the right field wall. In the 4 minutes that JJ used to explain why Nero was so devoted to anhilation over all planets, he really gave me the full understanding and emotion behind the character. I'm not sure who wrote this thing cause I really don't feel like opening up a new window and heading over to IMDB to find out, but it was witty, genuin, casual and interesting. Throw that in with JJ's use of beautiful visuals and amazing character interactions and you have yourself an truely good film. My 1, and only 1 flaw, and this in no ones falt but my own, is that every time I saw Zach Quinto (Spock) all I can see is Sylar from Heroes and I even at one point turned to Shannon and said, why doesn't he just use his powers to stop time and kill everyone... haha. But again that's no fault but mine for being such a big geek and falling in love with HEROES. Oh and this was written by Roberto Orci and Ale Kurtzman (Eagle Eye, Fringe, Alias) <--I had to look up Spocks actor's name on IMDB so I checked the writters too. 9/10

Now last night I got the oportunity to view Terminator Salvation. My second/first, depending on what day you ask me, favorite altra-universe. And I really "Enjoyed" this film. Now from a die hard Terminator fan perspective, the film left me with no new knowledge of the universe. No development in the storyline. No plot depth that allowed me to care about ANY of the characters that the previous 3 films had. But, from a movie lovers perspective, this movie is bonified bad ass. CGI was spectacular, the T-800 was absolutely amazing, the sets were well developed, the scenes were full of action and the movie was pumping from start to finish. So in my opinion, if you give me a fully loaded, action packed explosive film and throw in any type of Terminator then you got a solid B movie in my book. I'm very much looking forward to the release onto DVD with an "R" rating and an additional 45 minutes of footage. 7/10

That is all for now.

Are they not made to ENTERTAIN?

With this summer blockbusters closely approaching I wanted to take a minute to break down what to keep and eye out for and when to save your money!



The first Major Blockbuster to hit the big screen will be X-Men Origins: Wolverine releasing May 1st. But before diving head first into the hype of the new superhero flick, remember that this film is still property of FOX and not MARVEL STUDIOS! This being said, I have seen way to many marketing ploys associated to this film for me to believe it can stand on its own. From the MILK ad with Jackman as Wolverine being gay as hell to the newly aired Schick Quattro Titanium razor commercial where a kid has a full beard and with the help of this razor shaves his face into the likes of Wolverine. It was just sad to see. All this in addition to Mr Chris Price (a true comic junky) telling me how bad the leaked version of the film was and that no special effects can save it, lead me to believe that this film should be avoided until DVD release. Instead, I suggest venturing out this weekend and truly enjoying The Soloist. I mean RDJ (Robert Downey Jr) and Jamie Foxx, you can't go wrong. Plus it's based on a true story that is both moving and sincere. It has Oscar nom written all over it!



Once the Wolverine dust settles movie goers are in for some truly entertaining films this summer. Most of them have high budgets and plenty of action. May 8th brings us J.J. Abrams version of the Star Trek (Prequel). The mans resume speaks for itself (Armageddon, M.I. III, Lost, Alias and Cloverfield) J.J. has the most amazing vision and for me, who may have seen about 2.5 episodes of Trek and never really got it, will be one of the first to see this film. That and my soon to be father in law is a Trekie. The trailer alone makes my face smile so hard I can taste my ears. <-- yes that's possible. This film will be a must see in theaters due to the immense amount of visual effects.



Between Star Trek and the next major motion picture Terminator Salvation premiering May 22nd is the Ron Henry follow-up of the thriller The Davinci Code titled Angels & Demons releasing May 15th. I suggest save your money this weekend and wait for the DVD or read up on some reviews of Wolverine and possibly check it out without the crowds. With the release of Terminator Salvation (the 4th installment in the franchise) marks the first film in the new trilogy. Starring Christian Bale, Terminator is jam packed with enough action and classic Terminator mythology to keep the fanboys at ease. (myself included) Terminator is probably my all time favorite Sci-Fi film reality. And that is saying a lot considering my love for Matrix. But I am a big believer in the idea that machine dependency will lead to our ultimate demise.


For the horror fans out there, Sam Raimi is releasing Drag Me To Hell on May 29th and that is the same weekend that UP is released for all those pixar freaks in America. Drag me to Hell looks really really creepy and is catching some great early reviews. It has already scored an 8/10 on IMDB. Justin Long stars along side Alison Lohman (who you wont recognize from anything) and she's so darn cute. Sam's been working on this one since he finished up 30 Days of Night in 2007 and it appears to have been well worth the wait.



Heading into June the main stream movies die down a bit but that doesn't mean there isn't anything good being released. Getting wedged between the blockbusters like the Fluff in my PBF sandwich are two anticipated comedies. Both Land of the Lost and Year One are being released June 5th and June 19th respectively. LOTL is going to be a much more family geared comedy but it stars Will Ferrell and co-stars Danny McBride so it'll make me pee my pants regardless. And Year One stars both Jack Black and the always amusing Michael Cera in a prehistoric kind of History of the World esq style film. Both can easily fill a Saturday night with tons of laughs.



After the enjoyment of these comedies, the onslaught of blockbusters hit the hardest. Starting with the highly anticipated release of Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen on June 26th. Michael Bay pulls no punches with confirmation of over 20 transformers for the second installment. And yes, Megatron is returning and Megan Fox is still barely clothed. (Thank GOD) July 1st brings us the third film in the Ice Age trilogy Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs and also the star studded Crime Drama taking place in 1930's Public Enemies starring the beloved Johnny Depp and co-starring Christian Bale, Channing Tatum (for the tweens), Billy Crudup and Giovanni Ribisi. This is sure to be a must see.



July 10th brings us Bruno the new and widely criticised Sacha Baron Cohen film about a flamboyant Austrian fashionista. And, well..... you get an idea.


Just as you catch your breath, you'll be kicked in the teeth by Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince opening July 15th. 5th Film replicating the 5th book of the acclaimed series. It's darker, longer and sure to be the best yet.



Judd Apatow hits us with another masterpiece titled Funny People on July 31st, bringing aboard Mr. Comedy himself to starr, Adam Sandler. As always, Apatow brings along his dynamic duo in both Seth Rogen and Jonah Hill. I haven't heard much about this film just yet but I mean Sandler, Rogen, Hill and Apatow at the helm... Comedy of the Year anyone? I'll be quoting this so hard it'll be like when I was 12 and learned who Jenna Jameson was!


G.I. Joe: Rise of Cobra brings to life that wonderful 80's cartoon to the silver screen on August 7th. But not the way you may think. this movie is going to basically be an Army recruitment advertisement ON STEROIDS! Really, it'll be the most action filled movie you have ever witnessed due to the fact that it'll suck so hard they will try everything to distract you!



Capping off the summer will be my most anticipated film in Inglourious Basterds. On August 21st Quentin Tarantino will take us into Nazi occupied Germany and show us how a team of war driven maniacs, lead by none other than Brad Pitt himself, can cause as much death and destruction that 2hrs of film can capture. For me, it'll be Inglourious - Vacation - Back to Reality.







So for me, it'll be a lot of weekend nights spent in front of a theater screen.



Hope you all enjoy the summer!

Movie in a Minute

Joblo.com reported on a pretty interesting site yesterday. http://www.rinkworks.com/movieaminute/
The site takes a movie and summarizes it in just a couple of lines. It's definitely fun to click around and read what they say. There are some really bad ones on there. But a few do a good job at recapping the films. I already have a few favorites of my own:

A Clockwork Orange...
Malcolm McDowell
I was having a right horrorshow time of it, O my brothers, crasting and drasting with my droogies all the nochy, viddying the vino flow. Then, those glooby bratchny millicents loveted me and hurled me in the plenny like a common prestoopnik. That vonny plenny wasn't for me, so I let some doctor vecks filly with my mozg to fix me up right skorry. Then I ittied on home like a good malckickiwick, but I couldn't slooshy my lovely Ludwig anymore without getting bolnoy. It was oozhassny, so I jumped out the okno. I've had rather a change of heart, and thinking of getting a zheena like a proper chelloveck, and all that cal.
Audience
Eh?

THE END
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
The Blair Witch Project...
Actors
A twig! I'm scared!

Audience
Get me some dramamine.

Actors
Thump.

THE END
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Pretty Woman...
Julia Roberts
I'm a hooker, but I don't kiss on the lips.

Richard Gere
I have a lot of money.

Trilogy Anyone?

Stole this from my favorite movie gossip site Joblo.com.

Found it to be fairly accurate. Enjoy!



With the exceptions of Batman and The Matrix I think this is a pretty cool Trilogy Chart. Batman 2 was really really good, maybe even better than 1. And the entire Matrix trilogy was a bit better than stated. Yes, 1 was about 80x better than 2/3 but 2/3 were still worth half a bar! I feel that Lord of the Rings and Star Wars are the best depicted trilogies in this chart as well.

Devastator


Hasbro has released exclusive photos of it's new toy line for the upcoming film Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. The trailer recently released previewed an obviously large transformer riding on one wheel and completely demolishing anything in its path. It has been revealed that this Decepticon is in fact one of six that will form the ungodly Constructicon named Devastator. Devastator will consist of six separate transformers who all take forms of different construction site vehicles. It's rumored that Devastator will be at least twice the size of a typical transformer. Hasbro has released numerous pictures of these figures that I have posted here. The Decepticons that make up Devastator are as follows: Long Haul is a green Caterpillar 773B dump truck that will form the right leg. Rampage is a Caterpillar D9 bulldozer who will form the left leg. Scrapper is a Caterpillar 992G scoop ladder who forms the right arm. Hightower is a yellow Obelco CK2500 truss crane and forms the left arm. Scavenger is the Terex O&K RH 400 hydraulic mining excavator as seen in the trailer that will form Devastator's torso. And finally Mixmaster is a black and silver Mack concrete mixer that is the head of this monstrosity. Each will come together and manifest the most redic looking transformer and probably the most insane enemy movies have ever encountered.


2009 All-Star Celebration




Saturday and Sunday in Phoenix Arizona the NBA celebrated it's 58th All Star Weekend featuring numerous events. None more spectacular than the Slam Dunk Competition and of course the East vs West All-Star Game. As big of an NBA fan as I am, I unfortunately did not watch more than a minute of the events. But I will however recap the weekend for the rest of you who also missed out.

Friday started out with an NBA Cares event. Basically it was a bunch of old NBA heads giving a Q&A to the people of Phoenix with such riveting slogans as "Help slam dunk hunger in Phoenix!" A wonderful charitable event I'm sure but nothing I will dwell on. Friday then continued on with McDonalds All Star Celebrity Game. Coaching this group of elites were two of the most celebrated NBA players of our time, Magic Johnson and Julius Erving. Now when i read Celebrities I think back to the good old 90's when MTV had a Rock-N-Jock NBA game with the likes of Jenny McCarthy, Bill Belamy and Christian Slater. So I was excited to see who was in attendance of this event only to have my hopes and dreams shot down. To the NBA, a celebrity is really just an obscure athlete. Participants in this years event included 10 Basketball players (consisting of NBA Legends, WNBA stars and Harlem Globetrotters) 5 Actors and 1 Terrell Owens. T.O. with his stealthy 17 points and 1 assist took the MVP award marking his second appearance in the Celebrity event. In yet another even Friday evening T-Mobile presented the Rookie challenge. What might their challenge be you ask? It is the Sophomore Class of the NBA. Who dominated the fresh group of youngsters. Led by the MVP performance of Sophomore Kevin Durant's 46 points (33 points over the second highest scorer on the team and Philadelphia's own Thaddeus Young), the Sophomores beat the Rookies 122-116. Friday's bill of events was topped of by the NBA D-League All-Star competitions. This event included a game of H-O-R-S-E, a Three-Point Shoot-Out and a Slam Dunk Competition. Who participated? I don't know they are a bunch of D-League guys that nobody cares about. Lets just say some guy named James White of some team called the Anaheim Arsenal won something. So moving on!



Saturday started off with Haier Shooting Stars Competition. Now for those who don't know this competition is simple. Three player teams (1 old school, 1 new school and one WNBA) shoot from different points of the court. Each spot worth x points and most points win. That said, Team Detroit won consisting of Arron Affalo, Bill Laimbeer and Katie Smith. Another event that just fills time and space in All-Star Weekend. Following was the Playstation Skills Challenge were Derrick Rose, rookie for the Chicago Bulls, was crowned champ. The most important stat in this event was that 76er Moe Williams is nearly a quarter of a minute faster than Tony "French Stewart" Parker. Second to last event Saturday night was of course the Foot Locker 3-Point Shoot-Out. In an OT Shootout between Daequan Cook and Rashard Lewis Cook took the trophy and threw the X down on Jason Kapono's chance at a Threepeat. Saturday was topped off with
the Sprite (and if you are keeping count this is the 6th sponsored event in two days) Slam Dunk contest. In a David vs Goliath showdown it came down to fan favorites Dwight Howard aka Super Man and Nate Robinson aka Krpitonate in the final round, it was all hanging on fan vote to choose a winner. While Howard ran into his phone booth to change into his superman cape, he had a 12 foot basket brought out. Throwing the ball down like the net was eye level gained a boisterous crowd roar. Only to then be used as a prop in his own downfall. As the 5-9 Robinson
changed into his all green uniform (shoes, arm bands and ball included) and leapt over 6-11 Howard to slam down with authority (on a regulation 10 foot net of course) gaining 52% of the fan vote and claiming his rank among the elite dunkers in the NBA.

Sunday was all about anticipation for the 58th All-Star Game. Typical East vs West. With starters like Lebron James and Allen Iverson in the east taking on Kobe Bryant and Chris Paul of the west, it was really the reunion of Kobe and Shaq. (first time as a team since 2004's LA L
aker
championship) Fittingly, the two were crowned Co-MVP's based on Kobe's 27 points and Shaq's 17 in 11 minutes. The West finished the game in a 146-119 spanking. And thus concluding the festivities.

Happy Hallmark Day


Last night I saw a film, if I recall it was a horror film. Got a chance to catch the new Friday the 13th last night. And let me say that I found it to be surprisingly good. It did not fail to deliver all the necessary aspects of a true slasher film. Abundance of gorish kills - check. Sneaky ninja killer - check. Many camera pop-up jumpy scenes - check. An unnecessary (in a great way) amount of nudity - check.

* * *Spoiler Alert * * *


The film starts off with a scene flashing medley of the 1980 original chase between the original camp counselors and Mrs. Vorhees that ends in decapitation. The movie proceeds to a group of campers searching for a little piece of heaven* that opens up to moments of sex (involving a character that looks almost exactly like my best friend Joey), cheese comedy and a plethora of slashing realistic kills. After disposing of the campers in an adrenaline raged no shortcut massacre we get the sense of what the rest of the movie has in store as the giant red title "FRIDAY the 13th" smacks the screen.

The rest of the movie is well worth the view. Kills are still original and by no means cheap knock offs of any previous Jason flick. The character development is small but gets you close enough to have some type of connection to each victim. The new spin on Jason has a fresh feel and gives you more of a feeling of this is kind of how it would have went down instead of the previous films where you just sit there and go... "come on, really?" I definitely feel that if you are a fan of the slasher genre that this will fit your bill. Overall I'll give it 7/10

* - Camp Crystal Lake happens to have a massive Pot Garden. Making us all understand why Jason is so territorial.

God Of War III

Fear Nothing...



This is the first full trailer for the highly anticipated God of War III exclusively on the PS3. This, my friends, will be the straw that breaks the camel's back and forces me to buy a PS3. Or just hope my brother in law get it and I play it there all the time. For those of you who haven't played either GOW I or II, I say to you, get a life and play some video games! But for real, this series is by far the best video games has to offer. And no GTA IV is not included in that statement cause that thing is beyond a video game! Also can see here in full HD http://www.gametrailers.com/player/45513.html

Fox Friday Heats Up

Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles (my favorite TV show right above Heroes) has been moved to Friday nights and it's mid-season premier is tonight. I am as big of a fan of the Terminator mytho as anyone else I know. The ideology of Terminator may actually extend beyond that of The Matrix (my all time favorite science-fiction media ever). And I contribute that strictly to time travel. But if in the future, the Wachowski Bros. tell me that Neo masters Time Travel then, phssshh, it's right back on top of my list! But I highly recommend this series, if not to sit and watch on a Friday night but it defiantly deserves a DVR time slot.


Also on Fox Friday Nights is the new series named Dollhouse.


Complements of IMDB, they state Dollhouse to be as so:


The show follows an organization that employs mind-wiped DNA-altered humans known as Dolls who are implanted with false memories and skills for various missions and tasks. When they are not 'at work' they are living in a real life Dollhouse which gives the show the name. One of those mind-wiped humans, a young woman named Echo, is slowly starting to become aware of herself and what's going on - all the while somebody on the outside is trying to bring the Dollhouse down while getting closer to Echo - possibly not aware that she is one of the Dolls he is after.


Sounds worth the DVR time slot but after three episodes I'm sure there will be talks of cancellation. But I'll give it a chance simply cause I do love me some Eliza Dushku.

Hall of Fame Noms



Count the rings Bitch... 1 2 3 4 5th and 6! Jordan leads the way for the 2009 HOF Noms that include the likes of David Robinson and John Stockton.



Let us reflect for a moment...

Jordan graduated North Carolina Class of 1984. Drafted by the Chicago Bulls 3rd overall.* Won 6 Championships (all with the bulls) in 91' 92' 93' 96' 97' 98'. Proud owner of five different jersey #'s that include 5, 9, 12, 45 and the infamous #23. He's a 5x MVP, 14x All-Star, 6x Finals MVP, Defensive player of the year 1988, 1985 Rookie of the Year, 3x All-Star MVP, 2x Slam Dunk Champ and of course played for the Original Olympic Dream Team. Did I mention that he scored over 32,000 points in his career as well? Let us not forget the 1994 stint in the Chicago White Sox minor league system that showed us just how much we missed him in a basketball jersey.

With numerous other memorable Michael Jordan moments (I always appreciate the one when my parents decided to name me after such a brilliant athlete) it should be an honor just to watch him be inaugurated into the HOF this year. So lets all give him a hand of applause. clap clap clap clap clap clap clap



* - 1. Hakeem Olajuwon to Rockets 2. Sam Bowie to Trailblazers - Combined Championships during Jordan's reign = 2

Inglorious Bastards


Q.T.'s (Quentin Tarantino) remake of the 1977 film Inglorious Bastards has caught some buzz over the movie wire for some time now. The first official full trailer is up on the web. Take a look over at yahoo movie trailers. http://movies.yahoo.com/movie/1808404206/trailer




This 2009 rendition is staring Brad Pitt and is featured in the trailer. A much different take on the 1977 version that was a truly good view. I recommend it to anyone who wants to appreciate why Hollywood gets forced to remake 1970's films. Americans killing Nazi's, now that's good ol' fashion film making.




New Wolverine Photo

Picture can speak for itself...



...Butt. New image complements of IGN.com of an obvious ridiculous battle scene between Wolverine (Jackman) and Sabertooth (Schreiber). X-Men Origins: Wolverine is set to release this May and is in my Top 3* must see movies this summer!



* - Watchmen, Terminator Salvation, X-Men Origins: Wolverine

Watchmen 80's Arcade


Came across Watchmen viral site.
Click on the arcade machine to play this 80's style game. It's your typical walk, punch and kick game. With simple goons and bad dialog. But it's still fun to play around with the original Silk Spectre. Enjoy.

Miss March Red Band


Miss March...




IGN.com has posted a new Red Band clip of the new comedy Miss March releasing March 13th. This film has the potential to be about as good as that 1999 comedy American Pie. I say check it out at the link below!
