Thought: Questions about the upcoming “24” movie…

Leave a comment

After the announcement of the “24” movie officially happening, there are some questions that needs answers for the upcoming film.

Here they are:

  • How is the film going to be shot in real time? – I don’t think this will be a 24 hour long movie. It’ll probably be about 2 or 3 hours. Will they split the movie in different sequels? It’s going to be interesting how they’re going to pull this off.
  • Will the original cast return? Will everyone from the TV show comeback, all the characters? Tony, Chloe, Bill, Edgar, Kim, etc. I’m sure we’re going to see some familiar faces. David Palmer and Michelle can’t comeback ’cause they were killed off in Season 5.
  • Will there be a lot of split screens? “24” is known for it’s split screens throughout the show, I’m sure the movie will do the same, but with this being Hollywood, I’m sure they will do the split screens much differently.
  • What is the plot? How will the action be? – The film needs to have a really good plot if they want people to care about “24”, again. The show is also known for being violent and having lots of action. I’m sure the movie will be the same. Again, with this being Hollywood, this is an opportunity for the film to be even more violent than the TV show. I’m hoping it won’t be PG-13 rated and it will get a hard R rating.
  • Will they pick a big name star or an unknown actor for the film’s leading villain? – Most of the 24 villains from the TV shows have been unknown actors, but I think they should go for a big name for this one.

That’s pretty much it. Once the film hires a director, they’ll get right to work on the casting next. It’s going to be interesting on how they’re going to pull the “24” movie off. I hope they do it right.

I started watching Season 5 last night. I had enough with WWE RAW, so I skipped it and watched “24” on Netflix instead.

Report: Madonna confirmed to perform during Superbowl halftime, she will perform with Cirque Du Soleil…

Leave a comment

NBC announced their performer for this year’s Halftime Superbowl gig. Last year it was the Black Eyed Peas, this year it’s going to be none other than Madonna, the Queen of Pop. This pop legend and Rock n’ roll Hall of Famer will be performing with the entertainment act, Cirque Du Soleil.

More on the story, here.

I don’t think Madonna has ever performed the Superbowl before, and I guess it’s her time. I’m not much of a Madonna fan, though, I only liked her stuff from the 80’s. This is better than the Black Eyed Peas, I can deal with Madonna than any other pop act. She would be enjoyable and entertaining. I’m sure she’s gonna do a medley mix of all her hits over the years.

Report: Jimmy Fallon set to release new comedy album…

Leave a comment

Jimmy Fallon, the former Saturday Night Live cast member and current host of NBC “Late Night”, is set to release a new comedy album through Warner Bros. records. The album will include original songs, parodies, and other things. This would make Jimmy’s second album since, “The Bathroom Wall”, released in 2002.

The Hollywood Reporter, reports.

So is the album going to be backed up the by, The Roots? Probably. If the album doesn’t have his song of the parody of, “Whip My Hair”, with Bruce Springsteen, I’m not buying it. I’m pretty sure that song will be on the album ’cause that performance on his show was a hit.

I admire Jimmy Fallon’s talent. He’s a very talented man and funny as hell. I try to watch him every night, but I fall asleep a lot. Not because I’m bored, but it’s because I get sleepy around that time. Jimmy is quite a guy and he does a good job hosting a late night show.

Cool Video: See how Sophia’s zombie makeup was done for the “Walking Dead” barn shootout…

Leave a comment

Here’s another great behind the scenes clip of Madison Lintz getting her zombie makeup done for her controversial scene for “Walking Dead”, season 2 mid-season finale. The zombie barn shoot out.

While it’s sad that Madison is all done with the “Walking Dead”, this will for sure open up more acting opportunities for her up ahead. She’s an unknown actress, and she just became a superstar because of that one scene. She’s got a big career ahead of her. I can see other horror films going to want her now, lol. Could she star in a zombie film down the road? I can definitely see it happening.

I give her a whole lot of respect. It must of been really hard for the film makers to get her parents approval to playing a zombie. I’m sure Madison’s mother was difficult about it at first, ha!

Madison did a great job and I hope she wins some kind of award for that scene.

See the clip, here.

Cool Video: Arya shows off her new look for “Game of Thrones” Season 2 in this behind the scenes clip…

Leave a comment

Maisie Williams, the actress who plays Arya Stark, in HBO’s “Game Of Thrones” shows off her new look for Season 2. She looks more like a boy now ’cause that’s how she was in the books. I love the new look and can’t wait for “Season 2”, to come back. Other than “Walking Dead” and “Dexter”, “Game of Thrones” is another favorite show of mine.

Check out the video, here.

Report: Bryan Singer confirmed to direct & produce, “The Munsters” re-boot for NBC, another bomb coming???

Leave a comment

NBC have been getting a lot of bombs with their TV shows lately like, “The Playboy Club”, “Wonder Woman”, etc. The list can go on. Could “The Munsters”, reboot be next?

Deadline, reports.

There’s no fuckin’ way they’re gonna find actors that will be able to top Fred Gwynne and Al Lewis. I loved, “The Munsters”. It’s one of my favorite TV shows  of all time. I used to watch it as a young kid. I was pretty obsessed with the show. This re-boot is going to suck and I feel that another flop is coming for NBC. Leave the Munsters alone.

Thought: Who does the best acting in the “Walking Dead” cast???

Leave a comment

So we’ve all been watching, “The Walking Dead” for a long while now, and here’s an interesting question. Who does the best acting? Which of the cast do you think is award worthy?

Well, I think Michael Rooker who plays Merle, obviously does the best acting. If we’re all looking forward to seeing him on screen again, that means he’s grabbing our attention with his talented acting.

Another cast member who does the best acting is Norman Reedus who plays Daryl. Both of the Dixon brothers are great actors.

I also think Jon Bernthal who plays Shane, is really incredible. Laurie Holden who plays Andrea was good in the first season, but her acting went downhill in Season 2. I don’t know what happened there. I thought Lennie James who played Morgan from Season 1 was a really good actor.

As far as the rest of the cast goes, they need acting lessons. I don’t think Andrew Lincoln is a good choice to be playing Rick, and I think the woman who plays Lori is a terrible actress.

If there was an actress on the show who I thought did the best acting, I would say the girl who played Sophia on that one, Madison Lintz. Especially what happened with  Sophia in Season 2, I think she’s going to get some award for that scene.

While the writing of the Walking Dead can get really good, I wish the casting would get improved though. It is my favorite show on TV right now and with the ratings really high lately, I think the show is going to be on TV for a pretty long time. I hope the show will last for several more seasons after Season 2. I never read the comics, but I think I’m going to start soon.

Cool Video: First trailer for Kiefer Sutherland’s new show called, “Touch” is now online…

Leave a comment

Kiefer Sutherland maybe all done with 24, but he has a new drama show coming out called, “Touch”. It looks like it’s aiming more toward the science fiction genre. After seeing the trailer, it definitely seems like Kiefer is tired of the action hero thing. He wants to do a more serious and softer role, this time around. This is not Jack Bauer in the trailer, so you won’t see him kicking the badguys asses in this one.

“Touch”, looks kind of interesting. I might check out the first episode just to see how the show is. I like Kiefer, good actor.

I hope Kiefer is not done with 24 for good. We hope to make that “24” movie for the big screen to happen still.

Thought: Is Merle Dixon alive or dead? ***possible spoilers***

Leave a comment

Merle Dixon (played by the great, Michael Rooker, pictured above) is an original character exclusively for the TV show, “The Walking Dead”. Merle was never a character from the comic books at all. That is why nobody knows anything about Merle and why they are keeping this character mysterious. Merle returned for one episode this season but Daryl was just having a hallucination, it wasn’t really him.

Michael Rooker is a great actor. I’ve remembered him in other movies. His most recognizable movie role would have to be in Stallone’s movie, “Cliffhanger”, back in 1993. It’s nice to see him finally get recognized for his talent in, “The Walking Dead”.

The question we’re all wondering, is Merle Dixon still alive or dead? Maybe he’s even a walker?

I would think Merle is still alive.

When Merle is found alive, another question we’re all wondering, will he get revenge at T-Dog for leaving him up on the roof of the Dept. store in Atlanta? I used to think Merle would come back to get revenge against Rick & his friends, but it’s not going to happen.

I would think Merle would side with Rick and the gang. It’s Daryl that Merle would be after. Remember that hallucination that Daryl had on Merle, it seemed that they don’t get along too well. Why would Merle want to side with Rick and them? Remember, when Merle was handcuffed and the walkers were trying to get out after him, Merle kept screaming, “I’ve been bad, I deserve it…” blah blah blah…. Merle would admit that he was wrong on how he treated them and Merle might help them a bit.

It’s possible that Merle will not be the villain of the show. Rick would want to team with Merle ’cause Merle is an expert gunman. There’s something about Daryl that he will turn into the villain instead of Merle.

I’m probably gonna be wrong on this prediction but it’s a guess. Daryl was never exactly friends with Rick and his gang anyway. The only reason Daryl sided with Rick, ’cause they would help him find Merle, ’cause they’re family.

Merle could end up being a badguy through out the rest of the show, but it wouldn’t make any sense if you think about it. After seeing that scene with Merle and Daryl together. It’s a possibility Merle could have a change of heart with Rick and the gang, and join them. Just my 2cents.

“The Walking Dead – Season 2” Mid-Season ends with a shocker… ****Major Spoilers****

1 Comment

So the 1st half of the “Walking Dead” is over and here is my review with some major spoilers. If you haven’t seen any of the episodes yet or tonight’s episode, then don’t read any further after you see the spoiler warning below.

*************************************************************************

*************************************************************************

*************************************************************************

************************SPOILER WARNING*****************************

**************************************************************************

**************************************************************************

In the beginning of Season 2, Carol’s little daughter, Sophia goes missing after the cast tries to protect themselves from walkers in the highway. The cast ends up staying at Hershel Greene’s farm home after Carl’s been shot and they continue to stay there for safety & hospitality.

Honestly, this season started off kind of boring. It was more like a soap opera than anything. There wasn’t too much zombies, blood & guts like the last season. I’ve been getting some predictions right and some of them wrong. I knew Lori was going to get pregnant this season, and I’m betting it’s going to be Shane’s baby.

I was kind of disappointed that Merle Dixon only appeared for one episode this Season, but I don’t think it was actually him and it was really Daryl just dreaming or something of that one episode where he went looking for Sophia by himself.

Hershel, the farmhouse owner, has a barn full of walkers because he has family in there. A wife and a step son. He refuses to kill the walkers because he thinks they’re still people and wanted to care for his wife & step son like any family would. Glenn found out about the walkers in the barn and in tonight’s episode, Glenn told the cast about that secret.

The cast wouldn’t leave Hersel’s home because they wouldn’t leave without the missing Sophia, who they were still on the look out for her. The cast thought she was still alive and out there somewhere.

I did too. I had a couple of guesses on what may have happened to Sopha, Carol’s daughter. I thought Merle Dixon kidnapped her as his way of getting payback for leaving him on the rooftop in Atlanta handcuffed, or Sophia could be living with a different family somewhere. Neither prediction was right.

Turns out that Sophia was a walker and she was in that barn after all this time. Now I can completely see why Hershel didn’t want Rick and his friends getting in the barn to kill the walkers, because he didn’t want them to see Sophia as one.

I know the pacing of the show was kind of slow at the start, but they ended this season very nicely. The ending tonight certainly shocked the hell out of me. My jaw fell open when Sophia as a walker, came walking out of the barn. I think the writers of the show made the beginning of it kind of boring on purpose so they can save the best for the last. Now I get why they did what they did.

The second half of the season which will air on AMC later this Spring, will get real interesting now. Hopefully, Merle Dixon will return second half, I’m sure he will.

They did a real good job ending the show this time around. Hope they keep up the good work for the second half.
