Just got the “Superman” Blu Ray set today!!! WOOT!!!

I am now the proud owner of the “Superman Motion Picture Anthology” Blu Ray set! I’m so psyched to have this! You betcha, I’m going to start watching this later today, probably this evening. I’ll start with “Superman: The Movie” tonight.

This will keep me busy for a long while because there are tons of extra footage on the Blu Rays other than the movies. These discs are loaded with extras. I’m pretty sure I’m going to love this set and pretty sure it’s worth the money.

So this is my first Blu Ray set. I also have plans in buying the Star Wars movies on Blu Ray and the Lord of the Rings Extended Editions. Yes, I am slowly starting a Blu Ray collection as you can see. I don’t get that much Blu Rays ’cause they are obviously overpriced. I’m only going to buy Blu Rays of my favorite movies, so I can make the money’s worth.

I’m such a big Superman fan. Love the character and the stories.

Report: Even if “Friday Night Lights” maybe ending for good tonight, Peter Berg is trying to bring it to the big screen!!!

While the series “Friday Night Lights” is coming to a close tonight. Yes, tonight is the final and last episode of FNL sadly. The good news is, that Peter Berg is trying to bring the series to the big screen. Yes, there is already a Friday Night Lights movie that starred Billy Bob Thornton, but there could be another movie with the current cast of the TV show.

Read more on the story here, at Deadline.

Man, this would be awesome if this could happen. Peter Berg knows this show is very popular and he wants to keep it going to keep the fans happy. Much respect for him on this. NBC may no longer want the show, but there’s always another try for the big screen. I’m sure the big screen version would happen. Thanks Peter!

I’ll review “Friday Night Lights – Season 5” after I watch it tonight.

Haven’t posted most of the day…

Haven’t really posted most of the day, because entertainment news was slow, so I decided to spend the day doing better things. I did my cardio workout, jogging for 30 minutes outside. Then I played a little bit of Duke Nukem, watched a few episodes of “Lost – Season 6” and catch up with some reading on “Storm of Swords”. Of course, I played a little bit of guitar as well.

These are the kinds of things I do. I like to entertain myself and be inspired with different forms of entertainment.

This is another reason I got into fitness & bodybuilding is just so I can prove that I’m not a lazy person and can be active. I wanted to find something new I can  do that is more important than music, movies, video games & TV. A lot of people are into playing sports, fishing, hunting and other outdoor activities. I’m not really into that stuff and found that fitness was meant for me to do.

I never cared to get a career in bodybuilding, I wanted to get in shape for myself. My passion for fitness has never stopped and this is my third year I think? People don’t have to like my physique, and if all kinds of women, don’t come after me, that’s fine with me. I just want to feel good, be happy and enjoy fitness for myself. Fitness is my passion and I will never give it up no matter what happens.

Back to the topic of movies, I ordered, “The Superman Motion Picture Anthology” Blu Ray set through amazon this week and it should be delivered at my house this weekend. If not this weekend, then sometime next week. Can’t wait to get “The Superman” Blu Ray set, I’m excited for it..

I’ll try to catch up with the blog tonight.

Jimmy Page is back!!!

Today is a huge day in the world of music, because guitar legend and one of my biggest idols, Jimmy Page is back! Jimmy Page finally launched his official website today.

Check it out, here.

Keep in mind that the website will be very slow loading because of heavy traffic, plus you need to register to see the full site which I did register this morning. I’m still taking time to look through the whole site and there are a lot of broken links on there, but I understand. It’s brand new. Jimmy Page and his webmasters are new to this official website thing. Jimmy never had an official website before. Robert Plant and John Paul Jones had their own official sites for years, never Jimmy. It’s just that Jimmy was never into the internet until now.

So far, I’m loving the site. It shows everything about Jimmy’s career from the past until now. No news on an new album, but I’m sure he’ll announce a new musical project.

Seriously, guys, I love Jimmy Page so much as a guitarist and a musician. He’s pretty much the reason I got into music. I wanted to play guitar like him. I’m always looking deep into his guitar style to figure how he does things. Most of my own guitar playing is Jimmy Page inspired

In other Jimmy Page news, Jimmy reunited with the Black Crowes in London last night. Check out the cool video below. Glad the man is back, finally!!!

Thought: After thinking about a while, I don’t think raising the price of Netflix is that big of a deal, chill out people, I think it’s fair!!!

So Netflix announced the controversial price raise to 60%, and of course, they got a backlash for it. I was kind of pissed a little bit at first, but after thinking about it a while, I began to understood why they did this. I’m keeping my Netflix and not canceling.

You know how when you go rent a movie from your local video store in town, well isn’t the cost pretty much the same thing as you watch stuff on Netflix? The same with going to the movies at the theater. It’s no different than watching movies on PPV or the internet either. Do the math and figure it out.

I still support Netflix. I like the company. It’s a lazy way of watching movies & TV shows without having to go to the store to buy or rent the DVD, you can do all that stuff right at home. I also think people are overreacting over the price a little bit. The price raise is an opportunity to help get better stuff to stream on Netflix like newer TV shows and movies like they already have been doing. So I can’t blame them for doing what they are doing.

They are a business. They need money to stay alive. Netflix rocks, they still get my support.

Report: Another gruesome child murder, but this one is in NYC…

Soon after Casey Anthony walked out with a not guilty verdict, another brutal child murder just happened in NYC. 8 year old, Leiby Kletzky was walking home from camp last Monday afternoon and suddenly disappeared. Some of his body was found in a trash bin in a Brooklyn neighborhood while the rest of it was inside a refrigerator in the apartment of Levi Aron who police arrested.

Read the full story, here.

Disgusting. I don’t understand why people kill children. If Levi Aron walks out of trial for this murder a free man, then our judicial system is definitely messed up.

Report: Update on new “Evil Dead” film, Diablo Cody wrote script but Sam Raimi, Rob Tapert and Bruce Campbell will still be a part of it…

Ghost House Pictures gave us new details on the new “Evil Dead” movie that was leaked to the web the other day. Diablo Cody, who won an Oscar for her script, “Juno” and she wrote the horror film, “Jennifer’s Body”, have written the script for the new “Evil Dead” remake. Yes, Ghost House Pictures which is a film company owned by Sam Raimi confirmed this will be a remake of the first “Evil Dead” film.

Sam Raimi won’t be directing this one, they are tapping Fede Alvarez, to write and direct the remake, but Diablo Cody is helping out re-writing the drafts. Sam Raimi, Rob Tapert, and Bruce Campbell will be producing the film.

No castings for the “Evil Dead” remake have been announced yet, they still didn’t even say if Bruce Campbell is going to reprise his role as Ash. I hope Bruce will return to the leading role ’cause it’s not an Evil Dead movie without him, in my opinion. They probably are going to get someone else to play Ash.

I don’t know what to say about this now. I’m kind of excited and disappointed at the same time. I’m excited that Sam, Rob, and Bruce will be a part of it but disappointed that it’s a remake. I was hoping they would continue the story after, “Army of Darkness”. At the end of “Army Of Darkness”, it seems they left open a 4th movie, ending the movie with Bruce fighting this demon at the S-mart store.

I’m a huge Evil Dead and Bruce Campbell fan. I hope they don’t screw this film up.

Deadline, reports.

BREAKING NEWS: “Evil Dead 4” is it really happening? Seems that production has already started!!

Huge movie news has been announced today! Dread Central horror film website, was the first to announce that longtime editor for director Sam Raimi, Bob Murawski headed out to Detroit to begin work on the 4th Evil Dead film. Look like Sam Raimi gave him the “go”.Bob says the 4th movie will be much like the first two. Indie and low budget.

Bruce Campbell himself was quick to respond to it on his twitter page. He said he’ll believe it when he sees it. Plus, he pointed out that it could be a remake of the first one, not the 4th one of the trilogy.

Dread Central, reports.

I hope it isn’t a remake. I hope it’s the 4th one of the trilogy. I’m sure the 4th movie won’t be a high budgeted special effects movie ’cause that would ruin the Evil Dead series. It needs to be low budget with hand held cameras like the first two.

That would be badass if Bruce returns as Ash. I hope Sam and Bruce will re-team for Evil Dead 4, I’ll be keeping an eye on this news.

WWE to bring their classic Ice Cream Bars back???

Last night on RAW, CM Punk delivered another classic promo in the ring once again. CM Punk is on fire the last couple of weeks. His performing in the ring is getting so good. While the current direction of the PG rating sucks, CM Punk is the best thing going right now.

Last night’s RAW, there was a first ever contract negotiation between him and Mr. McMahon in the ring last night. Story wise, McMahon wanted to bring back CM Punk full time so in order to bring back CM Punk (he was going to leave WWE with the WWE Championship belt), Punk added some extra provisions to his contract. Punk mentioned the provisions that he wanted to be in the main event at Wrestlemania, star in the movie, “The Chaperone 2” and he wanted his own merchandise. Best of all, he mentioned to McMahon that he wanted to bring back the classic WWE Ice Cream Bars.

Punk said from last night:

“(Provision) Number two, I want my face to be on everything,” Punk said to McMahon. “I want my face on the Titantron. I want my face on these turnbuckles. I want cups, posters, spoons, knives, forks, shoes, socks, I want everything with my face on it. Number one thing being I want you to bring back the WWE Ice Cream Bars.”

All this come in a rage with CM Punk because he hated seeing John Cena on everything in WWE.When CM Punk mentioned “WWE Ice Cream Bars”, the WWE crowd went wild and they gave CM Punk a standing ovation for that even though he is meant to be a heel.

So is this a hint that WWE could be bringing back the classic Ice Cream bars they use to sell at WWE live events and grocery stores? I think the Ice Cream Bars deserve to come back because with the PG rating and WWE is now popular with children, it’s a big chance that Ice Cream Bars could sell really good. Plus, they deserve to comeback so they can have the current Superstars on the ice cream bars.

While I don’t like John Cena like most people, I am liking this feud with CM Punk vs. Cena. Finally a good feud for Cena that is not boring. I’ll look for the video in youtube from last night’s segment.
