Leave a comment

Iconic actress Nicole Kidman gave birth to a baby girl today. This is Nicole’s first born child ever. She has two other kids with ex-husband Tom Cruise but they were adopted children. She once tried to get a baby out of her before, but she had a miscarriage. In an earlier interview with Marie Claire magazine, she admitted to having an ectopic pregnancy.

Nicole is currently married to country music star Keith Urban, the couple named their new child, Sunday Rose Kidman Urban. Wow, what a long name!

Nicole’s filmography includes films such as: “Days of Thunder”, “Eyes Wide Shut”, “Far and Away”, “Moulin Rouge”, “The Others”, “Cold Mountain”, “The Hours”, “The Human Stain”, “Bewitched”, “The Golden Compass” and more. She first got her recognition and fame as an actress in a thriller titled “Dead Calm” which she played the character Rae Ingram.

Report: The Osbournes new TV show? Family to host new variety show on FOX…

Leave a comment

The Osbourne family’s reality TV show “The Osbourne’s” only lasted for two seasons, but yep, they get another new TV show on the way. The Osbournes: Ozzy, Sharon, Jack and Kelly has just signed a deal with FOX to host a new variety show for 6 episodes, each episode will be an hour long. This show got the idea from other classic variety shows such as “The Sonny and Cher Comedy Hour” and “The Donny and Marie Osmond” show.

The plan to mix musical performances by the Osbournes, doing gameshows, audience participation and out of studio elements. The show will be shot in Los Angeles. Sharon Osbourne is still currently the judge on the hit TV show “America’s Got Talent”.

The Osbournes TV show failed, this one will probably fail too. The family can’t get enough of their fame. It must be awesome to have Ozzy as a dad.

I think this is a test to see if people cares for the Osbournes if they want to bring on Season 3 for “The Osbournes” TV show.

Report: Robert Deniro wants “The Good Sheperd” to be a trilogy…

Leave a comment

While Robert Deniro is weighing in on the SAG strike, he confirmed the news that he wants to do two more sequels from “The Good Sheperd” film making it a trilogy. “The Good Shepherd” is a CIA Cold War film that starred Matt Damon, Angelina Jolie, and Alec Baldwin. It looks as though Deniro wants to continue the Edward Wilson story and wants Matt Damon to play the character still. So expect this to be Matt Damon’s “third” trilogy series with “The Jason Bourne” trilogy and the “Oceans” trilogy being the others.

Quote from article:

Turning to more professional issues, De Niro said he would like to make two sequels to CIA Cold War drama “The Good Shepherd” — one bringing the action forward from 1961 to 1989, the other following its hero, Edward Wilson (Matt Damon), up to the present day.

Although he is not working on research for the concluding parts of the hoped-for trilogy, De Niro said being in central Europe offered a good opportunity to begin thinking about the material.

“I had not been planning to do research on that while here, but it is a good idea,” he said.

Glad he wants to make it into a trilogy ’cause the ending to “The Good Shepherd” did seem to leave open for more movies. I enjoyed “The Good Shepherd” ’cause I’ve seen it in theater when it first came out.

Report: Sigourney Weaver is game for another “Alien”…

Leave a comment

Several months back “Alien” and “Ghostbusters” star Sigourney Weaver denied reports of her wanting to do an “Alien 5” because of the new “Alien vs. Predator” franchise. After thinking about it, she says she wants to do one last “Alien” movie reprising the role of Ripley. What made her change her mind? Simply because of the successful returns of Rocky, Rambo, and Indiana Jones that just made comebacks to the big screen. She said that Sylvester Stallone and Harrison Ford inspired her to do another “Alien”.

She’ll agree to do an “Alien 5” if Ridley Scott can direct it or find a director similar to Ridley Scott and if the story is right.

More on it here:

I’ve said it once and will say it again, they should really have Sigourney as Ripley in “Alien vs. Predator 3”, think about it.

Report: Never before seen footage discovered for “Metropolis”…

Leave a comment

Missing footage from the 1927 silent film “Metropolis” that was directed by Fritz Lang and written by Thea Von Harbou has been found at a museum in Buenos Aires, Argentia. The musuem privately showed the lost “Metropolis” version to journalists last Thursday. The museum director says that is the only copy of the completed version of “Metropolis”. The musuem officials say that this is Fritz Lang original version that he intended to release before but it was too long, so Fritz released the shorter version to the public. “Metropolis” is a futuristic science ficiton film that has been very popular for years. Read this interesting story below on how they found the missing film.

The Associated Press reports:

I doubt they will release this version to DVD/BluRay, in my opinion, they shouldn’t. They should respect the film’s history and only show it to people in that musuem.

Report: “Rambo” wins award for “Most Original Poster” from the Golden Trailer Awards…

Leave a comment

The new “Rambo” film just won an award for “Most Original Poster” awards from the 9th Annual Golden Trailer Awards. An awards show that give out awards for movie trailers and movie posters. Not the movie itself.

“Rambo” won the poster for it’s creative stencil art.

See the awards winners here:

The new “Rambo” poster is one of the most creative movie posters I’ve ever seen. Seriously. It’s just a simple drawing not some high tech photoshop work like most movie posters are these days.

BREAKING NEWS: Rick Moranis and Sigourney Weaver refuses to voice for “Ghostbusters” video game….

4 Comments

While there is a “Ghostbusters” video game in the works right now, the original cast is coming back except for two important ones. Rick Moranis refuses to reprise his role as Louis Tully for the voice overs of the video game and Sigourney Weaver refuses to come back as Dana Barrett. Why is Rick Moranis refusing? Simply because he retired from the film industry and entertainment business. Rick felt that he made too much money from the “Honey I Shrunk the Kids” sequels that he no longer needs to work.

Sigourney Weaver herself hasn’t yet spoken out on why she isn’t doing the highly anticipated video game. “Ghostbusters: The Video Game” will be released for all game systems: Xbox 360, Playstation 3 and the Nintendo Wii.

More on it here:

http://kotaku.com/5018686/why-rick-moranis-wont-be-in-the-ghostbusters-game

This really blows that Rick and Sigourney won’t be in it. Shame on them since Louis and Dana were the most important part of the films. Sounds like Louis and Dana will be voiced by different actors now ’cause the game still must go on. At least Bill, Dan, Harold and Ernie are still doing it though.

I definitely will buy the video game when it comes out. It’s one of the main reasons I bought a PS3 for is for this game here. I have a feeling that “Ghostbusters: The Video Game” will take over the spotlight on “Grand Theft Auto IV”.

Report: Somebody killed Adolf Hitler at a Berlin wax musuem…

4 Comments

The Maddam Tussauds musuem in Berlin, Germany just had it’s grand opening Saturday July 5th. In the museum had a figure as Adolf Hitler. In Germany it is illegal in that country to glorify and support the Nazi dictator and leader. A man who is unidentified came in the musuem and just tore the head off of a waxed made Adolf Hitler. Adolf was a man who started the Nazi’s to help him murder all the Jews in Europe during World War II.

More on it here:

http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20080705/od_nm/hitler_head_dc

The musuem should have realized that anybody in Germany could have came in and destroyed it. Not just that one man. If they rebuilt the Hitler waxed figure, I’m sure someone else would come in and destroy it again.

Speaking of Adolf Hitler, there are hundreds of war movies that was taking place during WWII fighting against the Nazis. But hardily any of them had  an actor playing Adolf Hitler, except for “Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade” which Hitler appeared in a cameo when Indy Jones ran into him by accident.

I really think hollywood should do a biopic film about “Adolf Hitler”. I’m not saying this ’cause I’m supporting Hitler, no way. I think a major “Hitler” movie should be made so people can learn his history. If a “Hitler” biopic gets made, I think it would be a controversial film and would be a success. A “Hitler” biopic would take a lot of heat in the movie industry just like Mel Gibson’s “The Passion of the Christ” did. A “Hitler” biopic could be a powerful film and dramatic if done right and if picked by the right actor to play “Hitler” himself. Hollywood should go for it and the media would eat it up.

Thought: “Viking: The Battle For Asgard” WOW!!! What an amazing game!

Leave a comment

I’ve started playing this a couple of days ago. And I’ve became immediately hooked that I thought I give my thoughts on the game right now. This game “Viking: The Battle For Asgard” is absolutely amazing. I’m a huge fan of fantasy and adventure games like this. Ones with a lot of sword fighting and use of magic. In this game you play a character of Skarin who is a viking warrior. You have to rescue captured men who were kidnapped by demons and all these creatures you have to fight so you can build your own army, ’cause when you get to the main bosses they are protected by their own evil army. One man can’t fight them off alone so you must build an army to fight against them.

I am getting pretty far in this game already and already to the second half of it. The graphics are beautiful on it and the action is so much fun. This game is out for box Xbox 360 and PS3, so if you have one of those two systems, I would strongly reccomend this. This game kicks ass. I think it’s much better than “God of War: Chains of Olympus”. Don’t even rent it before you buy it ’cause this game will not dissapoint you.

I’m about to get off the computer and play some more of it tonight right now.
