A Watchmen Sequel?

February 7, 2010 - 1:10 am No Comments

People loved the comics Watchmen, made by Alan Moore. Even then producers also made it grow to life by creating a movie. But will people be enticed to watch the sequel?

Before that happens, here’s a small summary of the movie Watchmen.

Watchmen take place on an alternate history Earth where superheroes emerged in the 1940s and 1960s, helping the United States to win the Vietnam War. The country is edging closer to a nuclear war with the Soviet Union, freelance costumed vigilantes have been outlawed and most costumed superheroes are in retirement or working for the government. The story focuses on the personal development and struggles of the protagonists as an investigation into the murder of a government sponsored superhero pulls them out of retirement.

Despite DC’s very public falling out with the irascible Moore, Dc is still thinking the unthinkable. They have been brainstorming on creating a franchise of Alan Moore’s comics, which has been disregarded for the last twenty years. A lot of arguments have been made, and head of DC seems immovable that Watchmen, at least in print form, was not to be messed with. But According to DC’s senior vice president Dan Didio, sequels, comic prequels and spin off are his visions.

Even Dave Gibbons, original Watchmen artist, who was very willing with the movie was still cynic. So with all the rumors and speculations on hand today, will there ever be a Watchmen sequel.

Brittany Murphy’s Death Ruled Accidental

February 5, 2010 - 7:57 am No Comments

Screen shot 2010-02-05 at 9.58.02 AMWeeks after her untimely death, coroners have now concluded that Brittany Murphy died of pneumonia. Multiple drug use, however, was a very potent contributing factor as the actress was reportedly “intoxicated” from it. This was according to the Los Angeles County coroner’s office who did the autopsy on Murphy, who was found lying in her bathroom last December 30th.

The coroner declared this as accidental.

The specifics of what type of drug it was were not known, although the actress’ husband, Simon Monjack and her mother, Sharon Murphy, have indeed confirmed to the investigators that days before she died, the actress was actually sick with flu.

Mojack also admitted his wife was taking anti-siezure medication and over the counter medicines for this sickness. But denies she had been abusing this.

Oscar Nominees React

February 4, 2010 - 9:03 am No Comments

Screen shot 2010-02-04 at 8.11.35 PMI was expecting many of the stars and movies when the Oscar nominees were announced earlier. There were really no real surprises but I’m still very curious to know the reactions from the stars themselves. Here’s is what some of them said or did when they heard their names announced. This has been culled from several videos online and on television:

Gabourey Sidibe, Best Actress Nominee (Precious) — “As soon as I heard I jumped up and down and for some reason I kept screaming, ‘I’m going to get a car! I’m going to get a car!’ I don’t know why, but I did.”

Carey Mulligan, Best Actress Nominee (An Education) — This is beyond anything I’ve ever dreamed of. I’ve definitely never felt such excitement and nausea this early in the morning!

Sandra Bullock, Best Actress Nominee (The Blind Side) — “I’d always assumed that the road to Oscar was planned. I thought people chose projects that were considered ‘Oscar-worthy.’ No one wanted to make this film. I didn’t want to make this film for the better part of the year. Everyone is as blindsided — can I say that? — as I am”

Jeremy Renner, Best Actor Nominee (The Hurt Locker) — “This is more exhilarating than I could have ever imagined. What a tremendous honour from the academy – a blazing stamp in the passport of an artist that can never be taken away and will always be cherished.”

Katheryn Bigelow, Best Director Nominee (The Hurt Locker) — “If one can give the impression that the impossible is possible, then I am perhaps overwhelmed with joy. But I do hope some day we can lose the modifier and that it becomes a moot point whether the person is male or female and they’re just film-makers making statements that they believe in.”

The beautiful starlet from the Harry Potter franchise keeps getting prettier and smarter every time an article features her. Recently she opt for an Hybrid Car to reduce carbon and save Mother Earth. Today she is now Studing College in America for a brighter future. Surely this has to be Hermione. Nah, its Emma Watson who played Hermione Granger in the Harry Potter franchise.

“The 19-year-old actress and face of Burberry! served as a creative advisor for People Tree and put together a collection of knitwear with cotton shirts, jersey dresses and shorts.

“I wanted to help People Tree produce a younger range because I was excited by the idea of using fashion as a tool to help alleviate poverty,” Emma said . “I think young people like me are becoming increasingly aware of the humanitarian and environmental issues surrounding fast fashion.”

The line will benefit the People Tree Foundation, supporting fair-trade farmers in developing countries, and will ship to the US starting this week!”

It’s amazing how being a celebrity made her do this things and not torture he future. Some of the teenagers today at Hollywood are doing booze, and other crazy tactics that will ruin their image. I’m very happy to hear that more people are cooperating with the environment.

Sandra Bullock Top Money-Making Star of 2009

January 1, 2010 - 3:42 pm No Comments

Sandra Bullock has been voted the Top Money-Making Star of 2009 in Quigley Publishing Company’s 78th Annual Poll of Exhibitors and is the first female to win since Julia Roberts in 1999. Bullock is the eighth woman chosen #1 in the Poll’s 78 year history. She appeared in three films in 2009, “The Blind Side,” “The Proposal” and “All About Steve.”

The Quigley Poll, conducted each year since 1932, is an annual survey of motion picture theatre owners and film buyers, which asks them to vote for the ten stars that they believe generated the most box-office revenue for their theatres during the year. It has been long regarded as one of the most reliable indicators of a Star’s real box-office draw because the selections are done by people whose livelihood depends on choosing the films that will bring audiences to their theatres.

Fergie gained 20 pounds!

December 27, 2009 - 2:15 pm No Comments

Fergie, Nine

Oh my have you seen Fergie lately? I thought she was pregnant because she gained a lot of weight but I was wrong, she needed to gain 20 pounds to play a 1920’s italian whore in a musical movie. She and Penelope Cruz went to restaurants and ate all the fried and salty foods until they can’t breathe. The musical movie “Nine” is out on Christmas day and it’s about  a guy experiencing his midlife crisis and met a whore (Fergie).

Fergie admitted that in real life she considers herself a half whore. She explained that in italy, catholic boys are raised to believe that there are two kinds of woman, The Madonna and a whore, Fergie said that she was both. Honestly even if Fergie gained a lot of weight, I still consider her as one of the hottest woman in the music industry.

Fergie is from the famous band, Black Eyed Peas and they have been touring around the world to promote their album. I got a feeling and boom boom pow stayed on top of the music charts for quite sometime. Fergie  tried to go solo and people supported her but unfortunatelysome people thinks that she’s better when she sings with the group. Fergie is thankful for her hot husband for supporting her all the way. She said that Josh Duhamel (her husband) didn’t criticize her when she started gaining weight. Even though there are rumors that Josh is been having an affair, Fergie strongly believes that it isn’t true and that Josh is a faithful husband.

Russel Crowe as Robin Hood

December 27, 2009 - 1:29 pm 1 Comment

Who doesn’t know the famous prince of thieves Robin Hood? if you don’t know him, well your missing half of your life. Since I was young I became a major fan of Robin Hood because of his generosity. (but of course I don’t like the stealing part). Robin was a hero in english folklore.  He’s a highly skilled archer, marksman, swordsman and outlaw. He’s known for stealing things and giving it to the poor and he’s assisted by a group called “merrymen”.

So why am I telling you this? because the award winning actor Russel Crowe will star as the legendary figure known by generations as Robin Hood. I’m really excited to see this movie  because Russel is the perfect guy to portray this character. He’ll be acting with  the beauty Cate Blanchett (also an Oscar winner) In the movie, Russel as Robin Hood will do a lot of actions and adventures with his Merrymen. They will fight against those people who’s trying to destroy their country. Robin Hood’s goal is to show the poor people that there is hope inspite of the harsh treatment of rich men.

Russel Crowe has been very blessed because his movies made it to the top. He deserves to get a lot of awards because his acting is really superb. I’m sure Robin Hood the movie will also be a hit in the movie charts. Vanessa Redgrave, Eileen Atkins, Danny Huston, Oscar Isaac, Mark Addy, Mark Strong and William Hurt will also be in the movie.

The official release date of this movie is on MAY 2010.

Brittany’s private funeral

December 27, 2009 - 12:24 pm No Comments

The star Brittany Murphy who died less than a week ago was finally buried during the Christmas Eve. The family of Murphy decided that they wanted it to be a private funeral. Only the family members and some close friends of Brittany were invited to be part of the funeral. They gathered at the church of Hills at L.A.’s Forest Lawn Memorial Park.

Simon Monjack,( the husband of Brittany) said during the funeral that she was his soulmate and that he would never forget her. He also said that the mystery of love is that you’ll never know when it will be taken away from you, so cherish it while it’s still there. Monjack said that the death of his wife made him miserable and devastated. He said that his wife was sick earlier this year and that he never expected that this would end the life of Brittany.

Ashton Kutcher said on his twitter that because of Brittany’s death, the movie industry lost a little piece of sunshine. Brittany has left a legacy in the industry and a lot of fans will surely miss her. During the private funeral, “Amazing Grace” was sung at graveside and her favorite book “Little Prince” was read to conclude the funeral. Angelo Bertolotti (dad of Brittany) didn’t attend the funeral because he wanted to remember the happy moments with his daughter. He didn’t want to see her that way and for him Brittany is still alive, off doing some movies. It was reported that there’ll be a larger memorial service  next year.

Vanessa Hudgen sued moejackson.com

December 25, 2009 - 12:18 pm 2 Comments

I can’t believe Vanessa Hudgens would actually sue the owner of the site moejackson.com because they posted her nude pictures. Oh come on Vanessa! In the first place you shouldn’t have taken your pictures with no clothes at all. It’s such a shame that your fans (mostly kids) adores you so much and this is what they get from you. I know this has been on the news for quite sometime, but I wish you’d just accept that fact that people has seen your nude pic and it’s all around the internet not just in moejackson.com. I bet if you googled it you’ll see all the sites who posted it.

News:

Vanessa went to the Federal Court in Los Angeles to ask the judge to make an order so that the site would remove her nude pictures. She also had her pictures registered with the U.S. Copyright Office. This is really insane, I know Vanessa didn’t want this to happen but this is her consequence for doing such things. I heard that the reason for taking her nude pictures is because she wanted it to be a gift for her boyfriend (Zac Efron),and obviously  that was a wrong move.

I hope we all learn from this one. Be conscious of what you’re doing. Don’t blame others if you think that it was your fault in the first place. Especially if your an actress, an actor, a leader etc.you should learn to set an example to our younger generation.

Brittany Murphy Dead at 32

December 20, 2009 - 10:28 pm 1 Comment

Screen shot 2009-12-21 at 5.39.16 AM

Hollywood has once again been shaken by the news of the death of one young actress, who at 32 years old, should have so much going for her.

Brittany Murphy was found by her mother lying unconsciously in the bathroom, according to reports. She could not be revived. Her death has been ruled out as Cardiac Arrest.

Most familiar for her roles in the movies, Clueless and 8 Mile, Brittany Murphy was once a pudgy little actress who transformed herself into a vampy, seductive Hollywood persona. News of her addiction to drugs as well as plastic surgery surfaced later, after her amazing transformation.

Brittany Murphy was married for two years before her untimely death.

The actress also used to be with Ashton Kutcher, who upon learning of the tragedy, twittered: 2day the world lost a little piece of sunshine. My deepest condolences go out 2 Brittany’s family, her husband, & her amazing mother Sharon. see you on the other side kid.
