“Lost” is my next choice of TV show for Netflix…

So I decided to watch the first two episodes of “Lost” tonight, and so far, the show is very good. I’m a huge fan of JJ Abrams work, and I never got to see “Lost” on TV. There’s so many TV shows I wanted to see in the past but never got around to seeing them. Oh man, thank god for Netflix. I also want to catch up with “Heroes” and “24”. Netflix also has all 7 seasons of “Macgyver” on there too. I’ve seen a lot of “Macgyver”. Damn, so many great stuff on Netflix that it’s going to be a long while for me to catch up with everything that I have never got a chance to see. Netflix is going to be very addicting to me for sure!

I only watch TV and movies at night. It’s not healthy to do that stuff during the day, in my opinion. During the day, you must do active things and be out of the house more. I watch TV at night ’cause it helps make me sleepy easier.

Report: Jeff Bridges set to release debut solo album with producer T-Bone Burnett…

There have been a lot of actors turned musicians over the years. They all start off with their careers in their movies, but their success in the movies have helped them get record deals. There are plenty of “actors turned musicians” such as Billy Bob Thornton, Steven Seagal, Kevin Costner, Bruce Willis, Kevin Bacon, Dan Aykroyd, Jack Black, Jared Leto, Will Smith, Jamie Foxx, Steve Martin, Russell Crowe, etc. Jeff Bridges will join that bandwagon.

Actress Gwyneth Paltrow recently just turned into a singer for her film, “Country Strong”, but will she release a solo album too after all the recognition she’s getting for her music? Wouldn’t surprise me if she has an album coming too.

Jeff will release several of his own original songs he wrote himself and he will sing some cover songs on his album.

The Hollywood Reporter, reports.

How much do you want to bet that Jeff is going to land a bunch of Grammy awards for this album since T-Bone is producing. Wouldn’t surprise me either.

Report: Marion Cotillard and Joseph Gordon-Levitt signed to “Dark Knight: Rises”, also their roles revealed…

“Inception” stars, Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Marion Cotillard have been officially signed to the “Dark Knight: Rises” by Christopher Nolan and Warner Bros. Cotillard will be playing Miranda Tate is who is a Wayne Enterprises board member and Gordon-Levitt plays a cop who is under the command of Commisioner Gordon.

Deadline, reports.

So this is why there is no new “Superman” news this week, because Warner Bros. and Chris Nolan were busy casting these two for the next Batman flick.

These two could possibly be playing good characters, not villain. Still though, Miranda Tate could possibly be a villain. She could actually be Talia Al Ghul, the daughter of Ra Al Ghul (who Batman killed in “Batman: Begins”). Talia back to kill Batman for the revenge of her father. I bet Talia hires Bane (Tom Hardy) to do the job. While Anne Hathaway is confirmed to be Catwoman, I don’t think Catwoman will be a villain in this one. It’s possible Catwoman could help Batman out.

The plot for the “Dark Knight: Rises” haven’t been revealed yet, but what I explained above is just my guess. We’ll see how this plot plays out.

Homemade protein drinks are a must if you want to avoid the supplemental products…

Since I gave up “Whey Protein” powder, there is still a way to drink protein drinks in a much healthier way. People think “Whey Protein” drinks are healthy because that’s what the advertisements want people to believe. “Whey Protein” in my opinion, are not healthy. Because there are so much chemicals put in them, you don’t even know what they can do to your body. Plus, “Whey Protein” can make you fat because some of them can be very high in calories and very fatty. Like I always say, “Whey Protein” is too expensive to buy every couple of months when you run out, it’s ridiculous.

A better substitute for “Whey Protein” would be home made protein drinks. Just buy a carton of egg whites at the grocery store, any kind of fruit and add some milk. There’s your homemade protein shake. The reason the egg white cartons at the store are better is because there aren’t many chemicals in them. Plus lower in calories and no sugar.

This morning, I just made a homemade “Banana Cinnamon” protein drink, and it actually tasted so amazing. All you need is a half cup of egg whites, 1 cup of milk, cut up some banana, and put some cinnamon, all in a blender, and that’s it.

Just make up your own protein drink recipe, use different fruits or even vegetables, whatever you want. I think I’ll make homemade protein drinks from this point on. Using egg whites, not the protein powders.

Report: Sarah Lane vs. “Black Swan” film makers feud isn’t over…

Just a while back Darren Aronofsky responded to Sarah Lane’s slanderous comments that she claims Natalie Portman did less dances than her, for the movie, “Black Swan”. He said he went through the editor to count every dance move with both women. Turns out Natalie had the most.

Sarah Lane herself, appears on “20/20” for an interview to talk about this controversy, and Sarah claims the film makers of “Black Swan” are lying.

Read more on the story, here.

If Sarah can somehow prove that she did the most dance moves, then maybe I’ll be on her side. At this time, I’m still siding with Natalie and the rest of the film makers. Sarah needs to prove that they are lying.

On a side note, looking at Sarah in this article, man, she looks almost exactly like Natalie Portman. Are they twin sisters? No wonder she was hired. Darren could be counting the wrong woman during the counts of the edit scenes because they both look exactly the same. Never know.

Report: Nick Cassavette’s pulls out of “Gotti: Three Generations”…

Pictured above: Travolta, Gotti Junior, and Lindsay Lohan.

Director, Nick Cassavettes pulled out of directing “Gotti: Three Generations”, the John Gotti “Dapper Don” biopic film, due to scheduling conflicts. Cassavettes committed himself to do a different independent film titled, “Yellow”. The producers of the Gotti film are looking for a replacement director.

More on it, here.

Looking at the pic above, it seems that Travolta gets along with Lindsay quite well. If she can keep herself out of jail, then maybe she’ll actually be in this movie.

Report: Matt Reeves will direct, “The Passage”, based on the vampire novel…

Sick of the new vampire trend in Hollywood films? Well, you’re going to be pulling your hair out in frustration some more because vampires in the movies isn’t going away anytime soon. Matt Reeves, “The Cloverfield”, and “Let Me In” director have been hired to direct “The Passage” which will be adapted by the book by Justin Cronin. It’s a vampire apocalypse story about a science experiment that goes wrong and vampires take over the world.

Deadline, reports.

I don’t think this one is aimed toward the young adult audience this time. Sounds like an adult movie. The plot sounds good. I might have to give this book a read sometime too.

Report: “Pride and Prejudice and Zombies” finally gets a director…

Lionsgate has finally found a director for the horror film, “Pride and Prejudice and Zombies”, which will be adapted by the book, written by Seth Grahame-Smith. The story has been mixed with Jane Austen’s 1813 novel, “Pride & Prejudice”. Seth Grahame-Smith re-wrote her book into his version mixing zombies into the story. Craig Gillespie is the director of films such as “Mr. Woodcock” starring Billy Bob Thornton and “Lars and the Real Girl” starring Ryan Gosling.

Hopefully Gillespie will stay committed to this movie and not back out like the last two directors did. I still haven’t read, “Pride and Prejudice and Zombies”, yet, but I plan to pick it up soon.

Deadline, reports.

BREAKING NEWS: Stallone confirms he won’t be directing “The Expendables” sequel!!!

There were a lot of rumors and speculation that Sly Stallone will go back to directing “The Expendables” sequel. Well the man himself, confirms he won’t be helming the flick. However, he will still reprise his leading role as Barney Ross for the sequel.

The plan for the next film is that they want Bruce Willis and Arnold Schwarzenegger to play leading roles for the next one.

It is not known whether or not some of the other cast members will return, but Dolph Lundgren and Jason Statham still want to return to the film. Plus, I’m sure the next movie, will add a bunch more action movie stars.

Deadline, reports.

I still say that Sly’s director replacement should be Dolph Lundgren. I still stand by it.

Cool Video: “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows – part 2” trailer is finally here…

The next Harry Potter movie, “The Deathly Hollows – part 2” will possibly be a shorter movie then the others. Possibly, an hour and thirty minute film, not sure, ’cause the rest of the book is short. The next film looks very impressive and can’t wait to see it.

Take a look at the trailer, here.
