At least one of the original characters is back, so the show maybe worth watching.

I was a fan of Beverly Hills 90210. Good show.

Report: The Hef to Miley Cyrus, “Come pose naked for me on your 18th birthday, baby”…

Leave a comment

The controversy of sexual revealing photos of 15 year old Miley Cyrus leaking online for the world to see is already grabbing the attention of Hugh Hefner. Hugh Hefner defended the photos saying there is nothing wrong with them and calling Americans a bunch of schizophrenics about sexuality in the media. The Hef welcomes and invites Miley Cyrus to bare it all in Playboy whenever she’s barely legal.

NY Daily News reports:

Will Achy Breaky Billy Ray approve of this? Will Billy Ray be suspicious of an 82 year old man fantasizing of a 15 year old?

No, he’ll probably let her do it.

Film Review: Iron Man

Leave a comment

Starring: Robert Donwey Jr., Gwyneth Paltrow, and Jeff Bridges

Directed by: Jon Favreau

 
Last night, I went to see the new “Iron Man” at a late showing. It really wasn’t one of my most anticipated films of the year, I saw it because it got good reviews and broke world records in box office. It actually took me a while to get interested in Iron Man because to be honest, I wasn’t interested in it at first. So I decided to check it out.

Robert Downey Jr. plays a business man and rich guy named Tony Stark. He goes on a trip with the Army in the Middle East, and then he suddenly suffered some life threatening danger there. Tony owns a weapons business where he makes a living off of and his goal to help saves lives in the world. Tony and the Army are being attacked in the Middle East by terrorist, Tony Stark decides to go on revenge by building an armor full of robotic weapons and flying equipment known as Iron Man.

As far as my thoughts on the movie goes, I thought it was pretty good and entertaining. Nothing amazing or great, but exceptionally good. I give credit for Marvel movies improving though. The fight scenes were entertaining but could be a little longer. Iron Man could have had a few more weapons. Jeff Bridges played a pretty good bad guy in the film. I also give credit to Robert Downey Jr’s good acting in the film.

While I thought “Iron Man” was pretty good, I’m sure there are even better movies coming out this year like “Indy 4”, “Prince Caspian”, “The Dark Knight”, “Wanted”, etc. I’m glad I went and saw “Iron Man” ’cause I came pretty close in waiting for DVD release.

“Iron Man” film score: *** (3 stars as in good)

Report: Radiohead continues to slam former label EMI about Greatest Hits album…

Leave a comment

Radiohead’s Thom Yorke does not like the idea of EMI releasing a Greatest Hits album for Radiohead. It wasn’t the band’s decision to release the Greatest Hits record, the label did it on their own decision. Thom complains that all those songs on their new Greatest Hits record aren’t “hits”. He never considered any of Radiohead’s songs “hits” or “singles”. Yorke admits there is nothing the band can do to stop the label from releasing it since Radiohead’s music is “public property”.

More on it here:

Yep, just the label’s way of making more money off a Radiohead so called “Greatest Hits” album. That’s the only reason for it.

Nu Image/Millenium’s company owner Avi Lerner won the rights from the suriving family members who run the Dille Trust company. Frank Dille was the creator of the Buck Rogers series. Disney used to own the rights to the Buck Rogers character but the Dille family won the rights from Disney.

I have always been a huge fan of the Buck Rogers series. I’d say bring the film on!

I hope they don’t mess this one up and hope they choose a good actor to play Buck.

Report: “Donnie Darko” sequel is in the works…

Leave a comment

A sequel to the 2001 movie “Donnie Darko” starring Jake Gyllenhaal is being made. The sequel will be titled “S. Darko”. Fox studios has already won the North American rights for this film. Daviegh Chase reprises her role as Donnie’s younger sister. The film will be directed by Chris Fisher and will be about a $10 million budget film.

The film picks up from where it left off in the first one where Donnie’s sister is now a full grown adult, and she goes on a road trip with her best friend where they are trapped in bizzare visions similar to the first one.

Donnie Darko is not in the new film but there will be rabbits. Jake Gyllenhaal will not reprise his role for obvious reasons but it would be nice to see flashbacks of Gylenhaal’s character.

Filming is scheduled to begin May 18th…

Well, the first “Donnie Darko” did kind of leave open a sequel, there were plenty of unanswered questions that needs some explaining for the ending of the first one.

I’d say bring on the sequel! I’m interested in seeing how they will continue this creative story. I loved the first one.
