BREAKING NEWS: Iron Man scores high in box office, “Son Of Rambow” did surprisingly well too!!!

Leave a comment

The film “Iron Man” scored a sky rocketing $100.7 million in the box office this weekend. That’s fuckin’ impressive!

Also, the movie the “Son of Rambow” a film about two kids making their own Rambo film scored pretty high even if the movie was shown in only 5 theaters in the U.S., “Son of Rambow” made $52,549. Not bad for a film that was only playing in selected theaters. It’s very rare that a small movie like that scores high in box office. But hey, keep in mind it’s a movie adapted from the real “Rambo”. And “Rambo” is always the king of box office so….

I’m happy for Robert Downey Jr. that he’s staying off the drugs and staying out of trouble, the guy is looking real good these days too. This is definitely his biggest film in his entire career ever.

I’ll see “Iron Man” soon myself, I’ll see it later in the week.

Report: *sings aloud* “Would you write me a James Bond song, I said, no… no… no…”….

Leave a comment

Pop star Amy Winehouse has pulled out of writing the theme song for the new James Bond movie “Quantum of Solace” for the opening title sequence. Her friend and companion who is also a musician, Mark Ronson said the pair started to work on the song for the film, but decided not to do it anymore because of her personal problems. She is still being addicted to drugs although visiting rehab in the past before, brushes with the law, and dealing with her husband in jail.

Ronson says that Winehouse is not ready to be recording any new music at this current time.

We’re never gonna get a new Amy Winhouse album if she doesn’t straighten her life out soon.

Amy may had her troubles but at least she is not as bad as Britney Spears. Don’t compare Britney to Amy ’cause both are totally different.

BREAKING NEWS: Ian McKellen will play Gandalf in “The Hobbit”…

Leave a comment

Actor Ian McKellen confirmed to the public he is reprising his legendary role as Gandalf in “The Hobbit”. McKellen is signed to play both “Hobbit” films with Guillermo del Toro being the director of the film. McKellen says this role is too hard to pass up because he loved playing the character in the “Lord of the Rings” trilogy. Sounds like he just can’t wait to get back to it.

You can see Ian McKellen in other films such as the “X-Men” trilogy, “The Da Vinci Code”, “Apt Pupil” and more to list.

More on it here:

Gandalf without Ian McKellen would be wrong so I’m glad he’s back!

This shall break box office records indeed. This is Mel’s first leading role in a film since “Signs” and that film was released in 2002.

Does this mean that Mel will be willing to revive “Mad Max 4” if there ever was one now that he’s back into acting? Lets hope so.

Look like Ron Howard is in a hurry to get the casting done and bet he can’t wait to start filming!!! I can’t blame him since his project was interupted by the WGA writers strike.

Finally! It’s great to finally see Christian Slater get a big role after years of doing small roles in films. It’s going to be interesting seeing Christian as a villain.
