Babe of the Week!

I know that the All-Star Babes was just a few days ago, but that's what procrastination gets you. But the blog must go on! So in honor of the release of the New Harry Potter flick: Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince I present to you:

Emma Watson

Emma Watson, well I'd say "most" known for but it's really, only known for her roll in the MEGA Franchise Harry Potter. She plays Hermione Granger, the smart ass, sweetly devoted side-kick to the oh so popular Harry Potter. I feel that watching these films, somewhat like a sitcom, we've watched Emma grow up and blossom from an adorable little kid to a sweet and sexy woman. Now 19 Watson has kept things pretty low key. No MAXIM covers or craziness off screen. But I kind of like that about her. She is still quite young and has a long way to go in her career. God only knows what rolls she'll have to take to completely break the "Harry Potter Girl" idea out of every one's mind. So I'll be looking forward to that Roller Coaster of a life! There is just something about these British women that call to me like a flame to a moth. I don't care if I get burned, it's all about how close you can get to the fire! Not to mention that in my own "I don't see it at all..." kind of way, she reminds me of my fiancee. So that's bonus points for her! Keep those spells coming Emma. I'm already in your trance!

Babe of the All-Star Week

In honor of the 2009 Baseball All-Star Game being held tonight. I've put together my own version of an All-Star Game. I've compiled my top 9 Female Villains and my top 9 Female Heroes. Villains making up the AL of course being that I'm an NL fan. (PHILLIES) So without further delay:

2009 AL All-Star Villans

In Right Field at the #9 position: Natasha Henstridge. To me she'll always be the extremely naked and sexy alien in the original Species. But Natasha has been playing the hardened female role in multiple thrillers. She was the lovable wife to allegedly dead Jimmy "The Tulip" in the whole 9 yards and some other stuff I never saw. But she is a sexy one!

In Center Field at the #8 position: Uma Thurman. We may love her for the kick ass role as "The Bride" in Tarantino's Kill Bill but Uma gets the nod on this All-Star Villains squad for her god awful role as Poison Ivy in Batman & Robin. I don't have too much to say about the movie for it was one of the worst things to get burned onto film. But Uma is Hot! And so she gets to be on my team. Hell she can be on anything of mine!

In Left Field at the # 7 position: Kristanna Loken. Now at first looking at the name you think. "Who?" But pictures are worth a 1,000 words. She's the T-X model Terminator in the more recent T:3 Rise of the Machines. Despite her liquid exterior with a heart powered by fuel cells, Kristanna is just too hot not to get voted onto this team. I don't think she was ever in another movie, but she's left her impression on all of us. Wait, apparently, according to IMDB, she appears in "The L Word." I have been meaning to check that show out per the suggestion of Mr. Skin.

At Short Stop in the #6 position: Kristen Bell. Well, what can I say about K-Bell? I wasn't a fan. Never seen an episode of Veronica Mars despite the rave reviews. (Then again it was cancelled faster than my dentist appointment) But Kristen found a place in my heart with her performance in the wildly funny Forgetting Sarah Marshall. But her cold hearted cheating slore of an ex-girlfriend role isn't what gets her on this team. No sir! It's her vindictively evil role as Elle on NBC's Heroes that puts her into the villain category. If anyone can hold down this Middle Infield it's Kristen. Lets see her turn those double plays. "Bull Shit, Bull Shit, Bull Shit!"

At Third Base in the #5 position: Rebecca Romijn. Rebecca can take many faces in her roles over the years. But no one character has more faces than Mystique in the X-Men Series. Her body paint alone drove me crazy! She has a smoking body and the fact that she slept with John Stamos makes her legendary. haha. She's now the wife of the Sliders star Jerry O'Connell and I think he's pretty cool too! Oh she was super sexy in Simone as well.

At Second Base in the #4 position: Lucy Liu. Best known for her role as one of three Angels in the remake series of Charlies Angels, she touched my heart with her role as O-Ren Ishii, the sexy American-Chinese uh... I mean sexy assassin in Kill Bill. (hope to keep my head) Lucy Liu has always been just absolutely adorable. And it was the famously funny episode of Futurama that sealed the deal for me!

At First Base in the #3 position: Famke Janssen. Like her X-3 counterpart Rebecca Romijn, Famke played the most powerful mutant of them all in Phoenix aka Dark Jean Grey. One of my top 5 Villans in all of comic land, strictly cause she's the most powerful, Famke found a way to stay ubber hot with a red vained face. Not sure how but I wasn't complaining. Famke has had some hot appearances in the TV series Nip/Tuck that will drive any man crazy. Hence earning her a core spot on this team.

In the Catcher spot at the #2 position: Scarlett Johansson. I mean where do I start with ScarJo? She's just stupid hot. Now I know when you hear ScarJo you don't think Villain. Do you? Well if you like to watch really bad movies like me then you will know that she played Silken Floss in the atrocious The Spirit. I mean so bad, that I only got through 15 minutes all 4 times I attempted to watch it. Yes, 4 attempts. This coming from the kid that owns Josie and the Pussycats, Rollerball and Failure to Launch. So YES IT'S THAT BAD! But man is ScarJo so so so so so hot. But don't fear yet kids. She'll steal the Villain role yet again in the upcoming film Iron Man 2 as the vixen Black Widow. I'll be looking forward to her hotness all over that giant screen. Hell she was the only thing that made minutes 10-15 enjoyable of The Spirit.

In the Ace spot as Starting Pitcher: Eva Mendes. Eva is my #1 Hollywood Hottie. Fell in Love with her originally in Exit Wounds. Then was just breathtaking as Denzels lady in Training Day. She showed up in 2 Fast 2 Furious making me hard, I mean IT hard for me not to love hot women and fast cars! Pulled a great roll in Once Upon A Time In Mexico. But she solidified my desire for her when she was just herself in the underrated Stuck on You. But sadly she gets put on the Villains list for a few rolls. 1 Roll= Very Good, 2 Rolls= Sad! Very Sad. She played a drug addicted, crime involved chick in We Own The Night= Good. But she's really on the team cause she A- Agreed to appear in the 2nd Worst Movie of All Time Ghost Rider and B- Agreed to appear in the 1st Worst Movie of All Time as an actual Villain Sand Saref in The Spirit. Yes again with this movie. After the 4th attempt I literally watched the film in Fast Forward so that I could just "see" the scenes starring Eva. I Do Enjoy a good Eva scene. Especially when there is some "Side Boobage" involved.

2009 NL All-Star Heroes

In Right Field at the #9 position: Michelle Ryan. Now unless you are a geek like myself, you will never know who this is. But I find myself to be a fan of good shows that go absolutely no where on TV. Michelle was the star of a very short run show named Bionic Woman. Decent writing, pretty girls, high tech robotic Michelle I couldn't go wrong. Show could have been much better but hey, I like bad things!

In Center Field at the #8 position: Hayden Panettiere. I won't say much about Hayden since my last week Babe was dedicated to her. But simply, she helps save the world every Monday on Heroes and shes damn cute.

In Left Field at the #7 position: Megan Fox. Again, I won't say much about Megan since she was my Babe two weeks ago. But without her, Optimus could never had saved the world from the Fallen in the newest Transformers!

At Short Stop in the # 6 position: Lena Headey. There is just something about this girl that drives me nuts. Could be that she plays the overly protective mother of the savior of free men John Connor. It could be that she was the strong willed Queen of Sparta in 300. Or it just could be that she's just hot! However it works out, she's playing SS, and I'm wondering if she'll get another prominent roll.

At Third Base in the #5 position: Halle Berry. Who doesn't love a good Halle. Swordfish anyone? She was Catwoman! It was bad but she was in the costume. That was a plus. She's one of the most attractive actresses of our time and she's actually a good actress. That's Rare! Like Mr. Clean with HAIR! She was Storm in X-Men and that white hair was working for her like no other! I'd take her home to mom.

At Second Base in the #4 position: Malin Akerman. I LOVED The Watchmen. Despite mixed reviews, and the minimal income generated at the Box Office Malin was just SMOKING. Sex Scene was hot. But of course not as hot as the scene in The Heartbreak Kid. "Fuck me like a Black Guy Eddie! Jackknife me!" WOW! She does have her moments when you look at a pic and say, she's not cute at all! But those are few and far between cause this girl is Cajun, no wait she's BLAZIN!

At First Base in the #3 position: Summer Glau. The cornerstone of the NL Heroes, Summer is actually an Anti-Hero. A reprogrammed T-800, so we think, once trying to destroy all humans, now protecting the one that will save us all. But Sarah Connor Chronicles was canceled before we can find out the true nature of the T-800's upgrades. She started as the answer to mans problems on Firefly and progressed onto the big screen in Serenity. But she will forever by my Terminatrix! I do have a feeling she'll be type casted into the female soldier roll but I see big things for her in the future. Be alert, "she'll be back" for us all!

In the Catcher spot and the #2 position: Angelina Jolie. The Stealth Assassin in Wanted could have earned her the 2 spot on this squad but it's just not the case. We must think back a bit to the two movie epic Tomb Raider. You know Gerard Butler was in one of those? Angy is hot, she's banging Brad Pitt and she's like ubber rich. She's on top of the world. She buys kids for gods sake. Did I mention she's HOT!?

The Ace of the NL presents: Jessica Alba. The Invisible Woman, Jessica takes her Hero stardom to the next level in the Fantastic Four series. She wasn't the hottest thing during the movies and at times even annoying. But off screen she's just too adorable to not have her here in the Starting Pitcher spot. She first appeared as a sexy savior in the TV series Dark Angel. She would ride around on her sleek black stealthy motorcycle and look all kinds of good. She was the best in Good Luck Chuck though. She remains atop the sexy poll of Hollywood and I can't see her coming down any time soon. She doesn't try to out act her ability and knows that shes working to the max the best of her abilities. You go Jessica!

Ladies and Gentlemen, Your 2009 All-Star Babes!

Babe of the Week!

Happy 4th of July to all! Another week. Another weekend gone by too fast. But there is always the newly issued Babe of the Week to look forward to. So this week's Babe comes along with a small movie plug.

Shannon brought it to my attention that this weeks Babe will be appearing NUDE in her next movie. This is something that I was not expecting for at least another 3-4yrs. Without further ado, this Week I present to you the HEROES star Hayden Panettiere.

Hayden Panettierre, Born August 21st 1989 first appeared on the screen as the adorable football fanatic daughter of the former TC Williams High School football coach Bill Yoast (Will Patton) in Disney's Remember the Titans. I always thought that she was damn adorable even in that movie. And now I get the pleasure of enduring her inability to act each week in NBC's HEROES. She's cute to look at but I can't stand how she doesn't move her lips to talk. haha. But anyway, she's appearing in a new movie called I Love You, Beth Cooper. I haven't read too much about it but I did catch a brief trailer the other day. It has a "Can't Hardly Wait" vibe being that the film is about a geek who confesses his love the the hottest girl in school, Hayden and in turn she takes him on a night he'll never forget. Well if it involves Hayden getting naked, then it'll be worth the wait of a DVD release. But in the meantime here are a few picks that I found worth the post.

*** I'm sure you can do the math, but the fact that she's only 19 just ROCKS!

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.

Julia Roberts
(smooch)

THE END

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.
