What do The Dark Knight, "Cloverfield" and Beowulf have in common?

They're all movies that I HAVE to see. HAVE to. MUST! These movies are going to seriously kick some ass, and no one in their right mind should miss them. Because I said so.

First, the long (well maybe not too long, but it seemed long) awaited sequel to Batman Begins, The Dark Knight. Although this film doesn't come out until July 08, it's already begun to haunt my dreams. The teaser that was released shows NO footage of the film, but just some dialogue and (if you pause it at the right time) a picture of the joker. I AM looking forward to seeing Heath Ledger playing the joker, while many people i know just can't look at him the same since Brokeback. Also, there are several other actors in the film that i'm really looking forward to seeing. Aaron Eckhart of Thank You For Smoking will be playing Harvey Dent. Supposedly Two Face will NOT make an appearance in this film, but i'm still looking forward to Eckhart's performance. Secondly, Anthony Michael Hall, from the best film EVER The Breakfast Club, will be in the film. He'll probably be playing a villain, but as of now his role has not been released. Lastly, Nestor Carbonell, from the greatest TV show on Earth, LOST, will be playing The Mayor of Gotham. Cool.

On to my second movie on the dockett. Anyone who saw Transformers and saw the trailers before the movie is probably asking the same question that i am: WHAT THE HELL IS THIS MOVIE ABOUT??? I am of course talking about "Cloverfield", which is the code name for a monster movie coming out January 18, 2008. The movie is produced by J. J. Abrams, the GENIUS behind Lost, and although there isn't much known about the plot, we know that it takes place in New York City, and there's some kind of monster that is on the attack. There have been speculations that the monster in question could be many things, such as Voltron, Godzilla (highly unlikely), or a Cthulhu, a monster first created by H.P. Lovecraft. Whatever the outcome is, i'm sure the movie will kick ass.

Lastly, I just wanted to comment a bit on Beowulf, a fantasy film based on the epic poem of the same name, coming out November 16th. Now, in my english class right now we're studying old english and the poem Beowulf, so i'm really excited for the movie. Plus it helps that it has some big name stars, like Sir Anthony Hopkins, John Malkovich, Angelina Jolie, and one of my personal favorites, Crispin Glover. If you've ever heard of the poem or know what it's about, the movie follows the plot of the poem slightly, but deviates on some things. But still, it'll be awesome. Alright that's pretty much all. Peace out cub scout!

Spears and K-Fed Meeting/ V. Hudgens Update

Well, after the once singing sensation performed at the VMA's, everyone has just been talking...and talking...and talking! I just wanna say to all those haters, shut the fuck up already. Don't get me wrong, I am NOT a Britney Spears fan or anything, but it is just getting really annoying. Anyways, her and her ex-husband, Kevin Federline, have met to discuss custody issues. Who the hell should get the kids? That trailer park living dancer, or this crazed lunatic? Guys, I just don't know anymore.

You guys remember Vanessa Hudgens? Come on, who couldn't! Well, apparently, she pussied (excuse my language) out of appearing on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno. First off, if she seriously and I repeat, seriously wanted to address this "sexy scandal" with the nude pictures, why the hell did she say she was gonna go on Jay Leno's show? God, it just shows her stupidity even more. A rep. from the show said she canceled due to scheduling conflicts and will appear at a later date. Aw shucks, I wanted to see her start crying when they showed the picture censored on The Tonight Show. Oh well, we'll just have to wait for the vixen some other night

Movie Review: Rob Zombie's Halloween

Ok, i PROMISE that this will be my LAST post about Rob Zombie for at least a month, but i saw this movie on Saturday and just had to tell you about it.

First of all, I know many people were saying that this movie was a prequel to John Carpenter's original film of the same title, but that's wrong. This movie did show the origins of Michael Myers and it explained why he does what he does, but it was definately more of a retelling than a prequel.

The film's first half an hour or so portrays Michael as a child. He, of course, lives in a broken home. His dad is dead, and his mom, who is a stripper (i found that VERY amusing) has the typical dead-beat no good boyfriend, who also happens to be a cripple. Michael's sister is more or less a slut, and taunts her younger brother at any opportunity. The only family member that really understands Michael is his baby sister Laurie, whom he affectionately calls "Boo". What i mean by "understands" is that she's too young to talk and make fun of him. Long story short, little Michael likes to kill and crucify animals, and is ridiculed by his peers because of his mom's profession. This is where Dr. Sam Loomis, portrayed by Malcolm Mcdowell, comes in. He proposes that Michael receive psychiatric help. While Dr. Loomis is chatting away, Michael leaves school and commits an act that shows us the true beginning of the killer we have all come to love.

Cut to Halloween night. Mrs. Myers, portrayed by the lovely Sherrie Moon Zombie, goes to work at the titty bar and leaves Michael to go trick or treating with his sister. The above-mentioned whore of a sister does not take her brother trick or treating, and instead proceeds to have sex with her boyfriend. Michael, finally at the cracking point, meticulously duct tapes his mother's passed out boyfriend to a chair and begins to dispose of his family and sister's boyfriend one by one. When he kills his sister's boyfriend, he takes a souvenir; the infamous William Shatner mask, that the boyfriend wore during intercourse. Michael is wearing the mask whilst he murders his sister. He then goes to his baby sister's room and carries her out onto the porch to wait for his mother.

Here's where we fast forward. Michael's mom comes home, the police come, Michael's committed and rots in an institution for 15 years. We then go to a scene in present day. Michael escapes and heads towards Haddonville, where he origingally lived, stopping only to kill a few innocents on the way. His main goal, as most of you already know, is to finish the job he started 15 years ago; he's come back for his baby sister. After making corpses of half of the town, Michael finally brings us to the climax (anybody who just giggled is a SINNER!!!). He has his baby sister within his grasp and he.... well you'll just have to find out.

I personally thought this film was a work of art. It wove the backstory and new plot elements into an already fanstastic tale, and presented it all without the high level of gore that is usually present in Rob Zombie flicks. The ending might disapoint the hardcore Carpenter fans ( i know i scratched my head a bit), but all in all, it's a job well done. I would give it 4 out of 5 stars, but it doesn't really matter. It was great, and i suggest that fans of the original series go check it out IMMEDIATELY! That's all for today, be sure to check back tommorow for MOVIE SPOILER TUESDAY!! Peace out cub scouts.

VMA Review Coming Soon!

Hey everybody!! Steve here, one of the new writers for this awesome blog. Now onto the good stuff. I'll be writing a review/recap of the 2007 MTV Video Music Awards. My opinion of the VMA's is, it SUCKED. I was expecting SO much more from everyone, including Britney Spears of all people!! I mean she could have at least sang ONE part of her song! Her hair looked so ratty and she looked dead the whole time. The most interesting (and disturbing) part(s) of her performance were when she grabbed a fellow male dancer's crotch, and (I think) the same guy licked her vagina. Very fun right! And the suites with the parties were kinda cool, but Fall Out Boy Ruined them. They suck and I hate them so effing much. Well I'll stop for now, and write the full review tomorrow! Make sure you check out MTV for anything you missed.

Sorry Zac, Not For You!

You know what readers, the fellow writers and I are thinking of changing the blog name to "The Secrets and Lies of Vanessa Hudgens" because we love to post about her. Well, I know I do. Maybe it's her body, because she is damn sexy. I don't know, but anyways, I got some more dirt on her little "PHOTO SCANDAL".

My sister was watching E! News (god, you gotta love Seacrest) and she read the little scrolling things at the bottom and it said (please do not quote me on this), "Vanessa sent the nude pictures not to Zac Efron, but to Nickelodean star Drake Bell". I know what you're thinking, "Drake Bell? WTF!" This story was confirmed by People also. These pictures are said to be a couple years old and before Vanessa was famous. Please, she is trying to pull a "Toasteee". I'm not sure I by this whole story especially when Drake Bell's representative has denied that he ever received such pictures.


Oh Vanessa, next she'll be trying to spill the whole story on me saying I was supposed to receive them. Now would I appreciate them, hell yes, but someone needs to stop bringing other people into the story. Drake Bell is too innocent, and plus he is a male, and according to the universe, males are ALWAYS innocent and can never be proven guilty. Or maybe it's just because we don't send nude photos to prurient lovers. Well, most don't.

2007 MTV Video Music Awards TONIGHT

Oh yay, another year of starting school means another year of the VMA's. But this year, we're not in LA, New York, or Miami, we're in the City of Sin! That's rights, MTV has chosen Las Vegas this year and the host is none other than sexy back's Justin Timberlake. Tonight is gonna be a crazy night, because I believe on crazy person will be there.

If you haven't already heard, the wig wearing, naughty momma Britney Spears is going to open for the extravagant show tonight. Now I know some of you, including Timabaland, don't want her there. But come on, she's performing her new song! So people, lets just enjoy the night. I can't wait for the Akon and Eminem performance of "Smack That". Boy oh boy, does that bring back memories of freshman year of what ;). Although I am upset that the vampire (you guess who that is) canceled her performance this year.

So make sure you tune in on MTV at 9 PM EST or whatever your timezone is. Glad I already caught Rock of Love this morning so I can skip it to watch this ISH. If you are a true fan of the VMA's, you will remember this little clip from 2003's show. Enjoy!
