Report: Aronofsky to screen “The Wrestler” for Vince McMahon…

Leave a comment

While many real life wrestlers came out to “The Wrestler” premiere in Los Angeles and most wrestlers in America enjoyed “The Wrestler”, directed by Darren Aronofsky and starring Mickey Rourke, it makes you wonder if Vince McMahon, chairman/owner of the WWE came out to see the movie?

Well, the truth is, Vince didn’t see the movie yet. Darren Aronofsky wanted Vince McMahon to see it. So Aronofsky, went to McMahon’s home in Connecticut and showed a private screening of “The Wrestler” for McMahon alone.

Vinnie Mac, has not yet gave out a public review of his thoughts of the film but hopefully he will soon. I’m sure the wrestling community is dying to know his thoughts. Will Vince McMahon even invite Mickey Rourke to the WWE to perform a storyline and have a ppv match? Would it be freakin’ cool if it would be Vince McMahon vs. Mickey Rourke at Wrestlemania 25? Hell yeah!!!

“Dead Space” thoughts…

Leave a comment

So I’ve been playing the video game “Dead Space” for the last couple of days, been playing many hours of it. The game is addicting.

The plot/synopsis for “Dead Space” tells a story about a man named Isaac Clarke, he’s an engineer of a spaceship that he must repair to get it back to working order again. The only problem is, the spaceship has evil alien beings all over the place that Isaac must destroy in order to survive. The aliens are actually human people infected with virus like alien DNA.

My thougths on the game so far, is that I think this one might be my choice for “Game of the Year 2008”, don’t know yet.

The graphics are beautiful and amazing. It makes you feel like you’re in an actual spaceship. The sound of the game just sends chills down your spine. The game is actually kind of scary as hell and very creepy to play. It’s very dark. Probably one of the darkest games I’ve ever played. The game has a lot of blood and gore that is actually disgusting, so if you have a weak stomach, do NOT play this. This game is deifnitely something that your kids can’t be seeing.

The game is challenging, difficult and frustrating but I’m hanging in there and getting kind of far into the game already. This game is highly reccomended. I probably going to be playing this game most of the day today. It’s better playing this game alone with all the lights off, and I’m sure it would be even better playing the game on a flat screen plasma TV with a 5.1. surround sound system.

This game is fucking amazing!!! If you own a Ps3 or Xbox360, do yourself a favor and get it. It would make a great holiday gift too, if you plan on doing last minute Christmas shopping today.

BREAKING NEWS: Disney NOT making third Narnia film “The Voyage of Dawn Treader”!!!

4 Comments

Walt Disney has announced they will not make the third Chronicles of Narnia film “The Voyage of Dawn Treader”. Disney would not get into details as to why they aren’t filming the next film, but they briefly said it had something to do with budgeting and logistical reasons. They were going to start filming in the Spring and hopefully get a May 2010 release but those plans have been cancelled.

Disney made the first two Narnia films “The Lion, the Witch and The Wardrobe” and “Prince Caspian”. Walden Media, who owns the rights to the Narnia series, hope to find a new film company to make the films with. It is most likely Twentieth Century Fox will take over.

The Hollywood Reporter reports:

Kind of shame Disney is parting ways. I loved “The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe” and “Prince Caspian” very much both are amazing movies.

It is still kind of exciting that Disney is no longer making the movies though, think about it. That means more violence, and more blood, they can make the next Narnia movie more adult oriented, than family friendly. Kind of like a Lord of the Rings thing.

If another film company picks up the series to take over, hopefully they stay true to the first two films by having the same cast and same style of filming.

Report: Stallone to reunite with Sandra Bullock for “The Expendables”???

Leave a comment

Oh my!!! Sly is not only reuniting with Dolph Lundgren, Sly may also be reuniting with Sandra Bullock for “The Expendables” also!!! As you know, Sly and Sandra Bullock starred alongside each other in the sci-fi action adventure “Demolition Man”. Sly is now after Sandra to play one of the female leads for “Expendables”.

So far Sly has Dolph Lundgren, Jason Statham, Jet Li, Randy Couture, Forrest Whitaker and Juliana Paes. There is still more characters for Sly’s mercernaries group in the film, so Sly is still not done signing big names yet.

See this article here on Expendables Characters:

If Sly can actually sign Arnold Schwarzenegger to the film, lets hope our dream of Sly and Arny teaming up would come true. It’s possible Sly is after Arny for the movie, because those two guys have been spending a lot of time together lately, so that’s pretty questionable. Crosses fingers that Arny will be “Expendable” too!!!

Report: Juliana Paes, a brazilian actress lands the female lead in Stallone’s “The Expendables”…

6 Comments

Look like Sylvester Stallone just found his female lead for his upcoming new action flick “The Expendables”. Stallone signed brazilian actress, Juliana Paes, as his female sidekick. She’s been in many soap operas in Brazil and she’s very famous there, Sly has always been known to give unknown actors/actresses a shot.

This news was exclusively reported at “The Stallone Zone”, a fan site message board, so it could be just a rumour, as there is no real official source. Maybe Sly himself will speak out on this soon to tell us if it’s true, that Juliana has been signed as the female lead. I hope it is true because she is pretty smoking.

Report: Springsteen’s “Working on a Dream” is NOT Wal-Mart exclusive, just the Greatest Hits album!

Leave a comment

Now, before saying that Springsteen’s new album “Working On a Dream” is going to be Wal-Mart exclusive, read the articles carefully like I did. Springsteen’s new album is still being released everywhere in stores on Jan. 27th.

Springsteen’s new Greatest Hits album is “Wal Mart” exclusive, not the new album. The F.Y.E. deal is just Springsteen giving away free cards and posters to people who pre-order the new album “Working on a Dream”.

“Working on a Dream” the new album is still being released everywhere in stores Jan. 27th. Springsteen will never release his original studio albums through Wal-Mart exclusive, he ain’t that dumb.

Report: Well that was fast!!! Jacko says he’s fine!!!

Leave a comment

As expected, it didn’t take long for Jacko to respond to his biographer’s claims. It was just a publicity stunt to promote his stupid book. Jacko’s reps responded to Ian Halperin’s claims about Jacko needing a lung transplant. Jacko says he is fine and well, he also says this story is full of crap.
