Report: Jean Claude Van Damme in for “Universal Soldier 3” but is Dolph Lundgren in?

Leave a comment

Jean Claude Van Damme agreed to return to “Universal Soldier 3” which he starred the leading role in the first one but it looks like Dolph Lundgren is not coming back. Jean Claude wants Dolph back but the film makers didn’t cast Dolph’s character into the script.

Will it be a direct to DVD release or a theaterical nationwide release? Jean Claude said he is not sure yet.

The MTV Movies Blog said there is no hopes for a Jean Claude and Dolph reunion but never say never. Jean Claude says he really wants Dolph back, so maybe Jean Claude will talk the writers into writing Dolph’s character into the script. If Dolph does get in the film, then this is worth for a big screen release.

I really liked the first “Universal Soldier” film, it’s a great sci fi action adventure film.

Report: Springsteen set to release new album in January…

Leave a comment

Bruce Springsteen will release his new album sometime in January of 2009, just around the time when the newly elected president Barack Obama gets inaugurated into the White House. The new album will be a follow up to 2007’s “Magic”. The title for the new album hasn’t been revealed yet. I’ll imagine this new album will not have the E Street Band members, it will be another acoustic folk kind of record like “Devils & Dust” was.

I’ve always liked Springsteen’s acoustic work way more than his E Street Band stuff, I’ll be looking forward to hearing this.

Blake will wind himself back in sooner or later. I’m positive him being behind bars didn’t teach him anything.

Famous author and writer Michael Crichton has passed away in Los Angeles, he was 66. He has been battling cancer privately for quite some time now. He is the author of best selling novels such as “Jurassic Park”, “Timeline” and “The Andromeda Strain”.

Many of his novels were made into major movies which Steven Spielberg directed the first two Jurassic Park movies, they became the biggest movies of all time. Crichton’s novel “Congo” was also made into a film. Crichton’s work became a huge influence to many readers out there especially high school students. While Crichton’s books were mostly fiction, he still had a lot of reality and education in his storytelling.

I officially want to buy a Playstation 2!!!

12 Comments

Yep, I now really want to buy a Playstation 2 sometime down the road. I’m still saving up for my 32 ” Flat screen plasma TV with HD, but after I buy a new TV then I will buy a PS2.

The only reason I am soon to be buying an old Playstation 2 system is so that I can play the earlier Metal Gear Solid games, the earlier Devil May Cry games (before I buy the 4th one), the earlier God Of War series, the earlier Tomb Raider games and the earlier Grand Theft Auto series.

Last Monday, when I was at the mall, I was browsing the Playstaion 2 games at Babbages in the Wilton Mall,  and they have all those games I listed above for the PS2.

A PS2 system is very cheap these days. I can easily get a used PS2 system for about $80.00 at Babbages also. After I buy a new TV, then I will definitely buy a PS2 system.

The reason I’m doing this is because I have a 40 GB PS3 system and that thing don’t allow you to play PS2 games but it allows you to play PS1 games. I want to play the earlier games of those series I listed above so I can keep up with the storylines of those games to see what I missed. Now that you think about it. I think this is why game companies release the latest sequels for the Ps3 only so people can buy a Ps2 for the earlier games, it’s just their way of getting more money from their gamers.

Longtime bassist for the metal band Deftones is in a coma after a brutal car wreck Monday in Santa Clara, Calif. Singer Chino confirmed the news but declined to go into details.

Billboard reports:

This sucks. I’m praying for Chi and hope he survives this, my heart go out to his family, friends and of course the rest of the guys in the Deftones band.

The Deftones are a fantastic band, I am a fan myself. Although I don’t like a lot of new metal music, the Deftones are one of the best new metal bands around. They make good music. I like ’em.
