Report: Lindsay Lohan to play Eve Teschmacher for Superman???

Reports going around the web today that Lindsay Lohan will soon audition for a part in Zack Snyder’s, “Superman”. An un-named actor is up for the role of Lex Luthor, and she is going to audition with him. Lindsay will be playing a villain, but nobody is saying who yet.

I’m thinking Lindsay is going to be playing Eve Teschmacher, Luthor’s partner or girlfriend. I can totally see Lindsay in that role. Don’t believe this news right away ’cause Zack Snyder or Warner Brothers, haven’t confirmed the Lindsay casting yet.

If Lindsay could keep herself out of trouble and out of jail, then maybe she would get this opportunity.

More on the story, here.

Wrestlemania 27 review ***SPOILERS***

I guess I’ll review “Wrestlemania 27”, right now, but I’ll put a spoiler warning on.

I thought this was a very good Wrestlemania, not the best ever, but I’ve seen better from the past. I thought WWE did a good job last night. I enjoyed everything about the PPV and wasn’t bored a bit. Below, I’ll explain everything that went on and what I liked about it. I’ll explain what I liked in detail. I’ll put a Spoiler warning on for those who haven’t saw last night’s WRESTLEMANIA.

Here we go on with the review…

———————————SPOILER WARNING—————————————–

————————–DO NOT SCROLL DOWN IF YOU DIDN’T SEE IT————-

First off, the Rock was the first one to come out to the ring. He delivered a great promo like he always did. He said really nothing special. All he said he promised this is going to be a very memorable Wrestlemania and he promised a surprise for John Cena at the end of the show.

After the Rock leaves, the first match that happens is the World Heavyweight Championship match between Edge vs. Alberto Del Rio….

In this match I said Alberto Del Rio was going to win, my prediction was wrong. Edge ended up getting the win, retaining his title. Christian came out to be in Edge’s corner in this match, everyone was expecting Alberto to win and Christian to turn heel, but neither of these things happened. I liked that little twist in this match because WWE is trying to keep things unpredictable. It was a fun match though and these two guys put on a great story. The match ended with Edge & Christian destroying Alberto’s car.

Next up, we get Cody Rhodes vs. Rey Mysterio. Both men are masked wrestlers. I love Cody Rhodes new gimmick, it’s so dark and creepy. I used to never like Cody Rhodes, but I like him a lot more now. The reason for Cody’s mask is so he can use it as a weapon, very creative, in my opinion. I thought this match was very entertaining. Cody is a pretty good heel and he ended up wining the match like I predicted in that video, so I got that one right.

Next up we get Kane, Big Show, Kofi Kingston, Santino Marella vs. The Corre. It was a very quick and short match. Kane & Big Show’s team ended up getting the win for that one. The reason this match was a quick one is ’cause of timing issues for other matches on the card, plus, the WWE wanted to give the good guys a chance to be heroes for Wrestlemania for the kids.

Next up: CM Punk vs. Randy Orton. As expected, Randy Orton got the win which I predicted. Of course, this was going to be a great match like Randy Orton matches are always great. This was one of the best matches of the night.

Next up is Michael Cole vs. Jerry Lawler. Everyone expected Jerry Lawler to get the win, but the WWE ended up letting Michael Cole win. This is one match that shocked me. Of course, everyone hated Lawler losing, people online are complaining, but I’m actually glad Michael Cole got the win. It gives him more heat as a heel. I can see why WWE gave Cole the win on Wrestlemania. Lawler is a Hall of Famer and legend. Michael Cole is a young talent. Lawler got the win at first, but the RAW anonymous GM disqualified him due to interference with Stone Cold Steve Austin. Many people hated the way this match turned out, but I thought it was perfect. It was shocking and unpredictable, the way story lines are supposed to be.

Triple H. vs. The Undertaker – No Holds Barred Match. Of course, the Undertaker won, 19-0. WWE did a great job getting everyone thinking that Undertaker was going to lose which he didn’t. As expected this was the best match of the night. Pretty emotional and powerful match too.

Lay-Cool & Dolph Ziggler vs. Trish Stratus, Snooki, and John Morrison. This match was very entertaining. Like I explained before, Snooki did that impressive pin wheel move, that acrobatic thing, whatever it is. Whether you like Snooki or not, you gotta give her respect just this one time for her impressive athleticism. No complaints for this match.

The Miz vs. John Cena – I thought this was a great match too. A lot of people online are being critical about it, but I thought it was fine. Everyone knew that the Rock was going to be involved which he did interfere of course, but he came out at the end of the match. The match was over when John Cena and the Miz were outside of the ring in the audience, laying on the ground, out cold from brutal beatings. It was a disqualification with a count out, so the Miz ended up winning. The Rock’s music hits and The Rock came out. The Rock takes the mic and orders the match to continue. Which the match did. When the Miz and Cena got back into the ring, the Rock was waiting for Cena to give him the Rock Bottom. After Cena was taken out by the Rock, the Miz pinned Cena the 1-2-3, the match ends right there. I can see why people complained how the match ended. The reason for the 10 count out disqualification is that the WWE wanted to trick people that the match was over, in order for it to make sense to bring the Rock out, since he is Wrestlemania host.

Over all I thought this was a great Wrestlemania. I was entertained all the way through. Surprising appearances by Snoop Dogg, Pee Wee Herman, Mean Gene Okerlund, Roddy Piper, and Mae Young were on the show. I’m disappointed that the Sheamus vs. Daniel Bryan match was taken off the ppv card and moved to the dark match before the ppv.

Not a bad Wreslemania at all, I liked it. Looking forward to seeing what’s going to happen tonight on RAW.

Score for “Wrestlemania 27” = *** (3 stars as in “excellent”)

Thought: Defending “Snooki’s” Wrestlemania appearance…

Snooki’s “Wrestlemania” appearance was well deserved, and it is what the WWE needed for “Wrestlemania”. You can all love her or hate her all you want. It’s a fact that she’s currently the biggest mainstream celebrity of them all. Sure, Kim Kardashian, Paris Hilton and Britney Spears maybe huge in the media, but they are not even in Snooki’s league.

The whole point of “Wrestlemania” is to celebrate pop culture in the media world. “Wrestlemania” is all about celebrities. It has been for over 20 years. Remember, Cyndi Lauper and Mr. T were the first two celebrities that made the first “Wrestlemania” huge. Without the celebrities, no one would care for “Wrestlemania”. Everytime a new Wrestlemania happens, when a celebrity is huge around that time, WWE would hire that celeb for the Wrestlemania appearance. For example when Donald Trump did his “hair vs. hair” match with Vince McMahon, that was when The Donald’s show, “Celebrity Apprentice” started getting huge. Kim Kardashian was already part of Wrestlemania for “WM-24”, she was the guest host that year, that was when Kim K. started to get known. Around the time, “The Wrestler” film came out, Mickey Rourke made his WM appearance for his match with Jericho. Floyd Mayweather Jr. made his WM appearance because he was just getting known as a popular fighter. You get the idea?

Celebrities are very important with “Wrestlemania” shows. The WWE doesn’t care if people hate that certain “celebrity”. As long as that celebrity is huge in pop culture, like ’em or hate ’em, the WWE will hire that celebrity for a “Wrestlemania” appearance. That’s how it goes. Why does the WWE hire a popular celeb in current pop culture? Because it helps people pull in buy rates for ppv’s and helps gives the WWE more publicity.

Snooki was actually pretty entertaining last night. As I expected, she did the most action. She did a few impressive moves, she did this pin wheel like finisher to give Lay-Cool the 1-2-3 and that was it. That’s how Snooki’s team won. After seeing all that, Snooki is pretty athletic. When Snooki appeared in the ring last night at Wrestlemania, she got  booed heavily, of course…but when she did that pin wheel thing last night, the audience actually cheered for her.

So would Snooki be a good full time WWE Diva when the time comes? Absolutely! She has the look to be a Diva, so why not?

Why do I talk positive toward Snooki so much? It’s because I have no problem with her. She’s not that bad as other celebrities in the media. Charlie Sheen, Chris Brown, and Paris Hilton are the worst trainwrecks. Snooki is pretty normal, in my opinion, she’s just a human being that enjoys entertaining people. That’s all she wants to do. She did a good job last night.

I’m sure there will be more Snooki WWE appearances up ahead. Maybe she’ll be on RAW tonight?

Cool Video: Vince McMahon shows respect to Shawn Michaels by giving him his Hall of Fame ring…

In this video you can see HBK Shawn Michaels nervously waiting backstage, dressed in a tuxedo. Out comes Vince McMahon giving Shawn his Hall of Fame ring. As you can see they have a pretty long emotional hug.

This is a pretty powerful moment. This video really shows that Vince McMahon really loves what he does in the wrestling business. It really shows Vince McMahon really cares for his superstars that he works with. Yes, Vince and Shawn Michaels may have been long time enemies on the TV screen, but that’s just an act and a storyline. In reality, Vince and Shawn treat each other with the utmost respect. They are like brothers, a family.

Vince McMahon is a wrestling fan himself and he is a fan of all these superstars that he pays them for, he’s a fan just like all of us. While WWE is not for everyone, you still should treat Vince McMahon with respect, because this man works extremely hard to bring the WWE to where it is today.

Dexter DVD sets…

I’ve been looking at “Dexter” DVD sets to see how much they are, they are between $30 – $40 dollars a set. I’ll start collecting them on DVD soon, right away. Season 5 is not on DVD/Blu Ray yet, but I hear it’s coming soon this year.

I don’t buy TV shows on DVD that much. Only shows I have on DVD so far are “Seinfeld” Season 1 & 2, The Sopranos – Season 1, The Walking Dead – Season 1, and the Family Guy – Season 6. I’ll collect the rest of “Seinfeld” and “Sopranos” soon whenever I can afford it. Yes, I’ve always been a huge “Seinfeld” fan, used to watch the show all the time when it was on TV. “Seinfeld’ is one of the best sitcoms out there, in my opinion.Probably because, the show is actually funny as hell. Most sitcoms suck but “Seinfeld” is a great one.

Wrestlemania tonight…

Well tonight is the big night for wrestling fans all over the world. It really does feel like the Superbowl and the Oscars for the wrestling industry. While the card to this year’s Wrestlemania isn’t all that great, I wish it could have been better. It still feels like a regular RAW show, there are only two matches that feels like “Wrestlemania” – “Triple H vs. Undertaker” and “Jerry Lawler vs. Michael Cole”.

What am I going to be eating for a snack tonight? It’s not going to be healthy snacks tonight, I can tell you that right now. I’m going to be eating “Ben & Jerry’s – Mint Chocolate Chip” ice cream. I’ve been eating healthy for a full week straight, it don’t hurt to have fun once in a while.

For those who didn’t catch my predictions for Wrestlemania tonight, they are here in this video. I hope Wrestlemania don’t suck tonight. Cena better not be Champion again, although he probably will be, *sigh*.

Report: Snooki gets paid more for her “Wrestlemania” appearance than wrestlers?

Not only that people are upset with Snooki’s payday by Rutgers students, there are other people who are upset with Snooki’s payday for “Wrestlemania”. Was Snooki paid by WWE more than wrestlers and other celebrities? Seems that even wrestlers are upset with Snooki with being part of “Wrestlemania” tomorrow.

Read this interesting article, here.

I can’t blame WWE for paying her that much to get her on though. They did whatever it took to get her on, they wanted her on badly.

Report: Charlie Sheen booed off the stage at first show of his tour in Detroit, no surprise there!

This is no surprise to me, as I had a feeling Charlie’s show wasn’t going to turn out that good. All those people bought those fucking tickets and they all thought he was going to put on an entertaining show? Of course, Charlie is going to act like an ass. He’s always going to be an ass, because that’s what he is, an asshole. Charlie doesn’t care about his fans. All he cares about is the money and this is the proof.

TMZ, reports.

I’m sure Charlie getting booed at this show will start hitting youtube anytime tonight, so I’ll be on the lookout for videos tomorrow.

You fans need to stop supporting this guy.

Netflix Pick: Dolph Lundgren’s “The Killing Machine” brutal and graphic action flick…

So the first movie I watched on Netflix tonight was Dolph Lundgren’s newest directed film, “The Killing Machine”. It’s a straight to DVD movie, but I actually liked the film.

The film tells a story about a man named, Edward Genn (Dolph), who is a loving husband and he’s a father. He is being hunted down by Russian hitmen. His family doesn’t know about his dark past. He used to work for the Russian mob, he was a killer. Not anymore, he left the Russian mob to raise a family, only to put his family in danger. The whole movie is pretty much about this guy trying to save his family and seek revenge against this Russian mob boss who’s trying to kill him.

This film is just another example of why I think Dolph would make a perfect director for, “The Expendables” sequel. “The Killing Machine” is very low budget, but still a fun action movie. It was a very violent action movie. More violent, than “Command Performance”. There are plenty of gun shooting, fighting and blood in this movie.

The movie’s a short 90 minute flick, but it was still a blast to watch. Dolph is a good action movie director, probably better than Sly. If you have Netflix, I’d suggest you check this one out. I’ll be reviewing Netflix movies on here more often so I’ll name these topics, “Netflix Pick” for all you Netflix subscribers out there, I’ll recommend you stuff to watch if you can’t think of anything.
