| Justin Bieber & Ozzy Osbourne’s Super Bowl Ad Posted: 28 Jan 2011 02:00 PM PST Just last month, Ozzy Osbourne had no idea who the eff Justin Bieber was. Apparently, he has found the answer to that riddle, because the two of them are starring in a Super Bowl commercial together. See also: Ozzy destroys fanbase.  Seriously, didn’t you like Ozzy better when he was mumbling about how he didn’t know who Justin was? I did, I know that for sure. The unlikely pair are doing Best Buy’s Super Bowl commercial, which promises to be quite interesting, I’m sure. On one hand, you’ve got the revered Prince Of Darkness and on the other, well — you’ve got some over-entitled twit with 800 billion girls chasing him. This is funny (NSFW language, because Ozzy is the epitome of awesome): Okay, I guess I really don’t have a point here. All I can say is that when you pair up someone like Justin with the awesomeness that is the Ozzman, it better be freakin’ funny. This even more funny (NSFW language): I’ll be watching the Super Bowl just for the commercials. Will YOU? |
| Rihanna Offends Fans By Tweeting C-Word Posted: 28 Jan 2011 11:55 AM PST If you’ve got kids, then you might want to shield them from following Rihanna on Twitter. Nah, not really, but she, like many other celebrities using the service, doesn’t censor her language. Recently, RiRi used the C-word, which got some parents’ panties in a bunch! Oh noes! Will they try to censor the accounts of celebrities now, claiming that they have a responsibility to children? Someone’s got to think of the kids!!!  Katt Williams sent her a message on Twitter claiming that Rihanna used Clifford The Big Red Dog for inspiration with her new hairstyle. Miffed, Rihanna tweeted, “LMAO, Katt u lil c**t.” Fans were royally ticked that Rihanna used such language, because Twitter isn’t a voluntary thing for people to VOLUNTARILY choose who they follow, right?  One whiney person said, “Rihanna is a role model to millions of young, impressionable kids. She shouldn’t be using that kind of language – especially when she knows how many people follow her.” What’s next, are they going to start rating Twitter accounts like they do movies? The National Twitter Association for Parents? Ugh, these people, I just can’t. |
| 50 Cent Rubs His Grandfather’s Feet – Photo Posted: 28 Jan 2011 10:01 AM PST Even though rapper 50 Cent may come off as an epic douche when he posts photos on his Twitter account of himself playing with a half million dollars, along with his son eating it — just know that he does have a softer side. It’s a side that he only reserves for people like his grandfather. Who knew that Fiddy had so many layers?  50 took to Twitter to talk about rubbing his grandpa’s feet. I gotta say, this makes me grow a big blubbery one for this pretentious douche….maybe a little… He tweeted, “This me doin my grandaddy feet. Lol”, along with the above photo. Then, he tweeted, “He doesn’t like no one else touchin his feet. So he makes me do them. Lol”. Like a true goodhearted person, 50 just wants to take care of the man who busted his butt for their family. He tweeted, “He worked till he hurt his back to take care of us, so now I gotta take care of him”. He added, “My grandfather said, these feet got a lot of miles on them. Lol” What a good guy! |
| Charlie Sheen Out Of The Hospital; Not Going To Rehab Posted: 28 Jan 2011 09:06 AM PST Yesterday, Charlie Sheen was hospitalized after a 36-hour party-thon with five porn stars and a briefcase full of cocaine. He was hospitalized with a hiatal hernia, of which one of his friends said laughing too hard was the culprit. That entire explanation is making us laugh too hard, too.  Today, Charlie has been turned loose from the hospital, but despite requests by the executives on his show, “Two And A Half Men”, he will not be going to rehab. If he goes to rehab, then he has to admit he has a problem, right? Even Charlie’s father, Martin Sheen, thinks he needs rehab, but what does he know? Has he partied with porn stars and mountains of coke? Probably not. Charlie knows what’s best for Charlie — and that’s partying for 36 hours straight, complete with mass quantities of alcoholic beverages and boatloads of drugs. [Enter sarcasm here] The porn star who was partying with Charlie said that he promised her a Bentley and then did oodles of cocaine in his screening room while they all watched and critiqued porn together. Charlie was even planning on renting a house so that he could have a storage area for all of his porn star girls. They’re like dolls and he’s collecting them, apparently. Still, Charlie doesn’t feel that this hospitalization is a wake up call to go to rehab. He plans on being on the set of “Two And A Half Men” on Tuesday…because he’s a professional! |
| 10 Movies You Haven’t Seen, But Should Posted: 28 Jan 2011 06:10 AM PST I think it goes without saying that I am a huge movie fan. I love everything from Golden Age Cinema, Silent Films, Modern Day Classics, Horror, Sci-fi… practically any genre. My only requirement is that the film is A) Good, B) Unique, & C) Unforgettable. Over my 35 years of life I've seen thousands upon thousands of films. I totally should be a movie critic like Roger Ebert and get paid the big bucks… I only wish! After seeing so many movies there are quite a few that stand out in my mind, and this is not a list of my favorites, although most of them do in fact fall into that category. This list is of films that many of this generation were too young to experience, or ones that just fell below the radar and are worth a look-see.
The story of school teacher Bert Cates who is put on trial for teaching Darwin’s theories on the evolution of man from primates. The film is based on the play of the same name and is a parable of the 1925 Scopes Monkey Trial. The film takes place in small town America, where “Creationism” is the believed origin of mankind. Cates’ reluctance to teach this way of thinking to his highschool students is what causes all the trouble, and a court trial which pits science versus religion is the end result. Needless to say, the religious right come off looking foolish. If you like courtroom dramas, especially ones that are funny as hell… then you’ll love this movie.
The film spans three years and follows young Scout and her brother Jem in 1930′s rural Alabama. As the children grow, they learn a lot of harsh lessons about the world around them including the rampant racism in their small town. Their father, Atticus Finch is a notable lawyer who defends a black man against an undeserved rape charge. Atticus, and his children must then live a life being persecuted by the town for their belief in the accused’s innocence. To Kill a Mockingbird was up for an Oscar for Best Motion Picture that year and lost out to Lawrence of Arabia (which was garbage!). This film always breaks my heart every time I watch it. Racism is a horrible evil and this film shows it in a realistic way which makes you really think. The book that it’s based on was the subject of banning and book burnings for it’s controversial outlook.
A silent film production company struggles to make the transition to sound with a lot of difficulty. Their first foray into sound is to try to produce a musical, but their leading lady, Lina Lamont has the voice of a crow. Since Lina is under contract to the studio, she must appear. So they decide upon a voice over done by unknown actress/singer Kathy Selden. The film The Dancing Cavalier is a huge success, and when Lina is asked to sing live at the premier, they put Kathy behind the curtain with a mic which Lina lipsyncs out front. Her co-star Don Lockwood, then gets the idea to pull open the curtain to reveal the charade to the audience and get Kathy the recognition she deserves. If you love musicals like Burlesque or Moulin Rouge, then you’ll love this one. Check it out!
Jim Stark moves to a new town and struggles to fit in. The film opens with him detained at the police station for being drunk in public. The cops call his dad, who comes down to the station, and this is where we get our first glimpse at the dynamic between father and son. Being the new kid is hard, and fitting in is even harder. He gets his tires slashed by the cool kids, he gets into a knife fight, and when the leader of the cool kids challenges Jim to a drag race, he gets blamed for the kid’s death. This is the original rebel movie, disturbed teens, parental problems and all the other horrible stuff you go through as a teenager is depicted. And in case you’re wondering where Robert Pattinson got the inspiration for that Edward Cullen hairdo of his… it was from James Dean folks!
Back before director Sam Raimi was hitting up the big screen with hits like his Spider-Man trilogy, he was a little known writer/director that would get together with his brothers and his best buds and make classic B-style films. This is one of my absolute favorite films of ALL TIME. It’s funny as hell, and it’s goofy. It is not meant to be taken seriously in the slightest. It was always listed as a horror film, but really, by today’s standards it doesn’t even come close to horror. Let’s call it ‘Horror/Comedy’. Campbell plays Ash who takes his girlfriend Linda up to this empty cabin in the woods for a romantic weekend. HA! I know, NEVER a good idea! While there, he stumbles on a journal written by the owner of the cabin and begins to read it… ALOUD! The journal contains spells and incantations taken from ‘Necronomicon’, so of course his recitation opens a portal which releases demons and the like who kill Linda, and try to take Ash out as well. This is where the film shoots a hole in your gut, or at least it feels that way from all the laughter you’re sure to endure. I won’t give away anymore, you’ll just have to go out and watch it! iTunes, netflicks, the old fashioned video store… take your pick!
A divorcee moves herself and her two teen-aged sons to Santa Carla California from Arizona so they can save money after the divorce. Shortly after arriving the boys notice that a lot of people go missing in Santa Carla and that it’s been dubbed ‘The Murder Capital of the World’. Her oldest son Michael, meets a pretty girl at the beach and tries to hook up with her only to be denied by her ‘boys’ who won’t let Michael near her till he undergoes a few trials. As it turns out, the gang is a group of teen-aged vampires, and no, not the Edward/Bella/Sparkly kind. We’re talking murdering, blood, guts, and gore. You know, the way vampires are SUPPOSED to be. The film has an awesome soundtrack, although you do need to realize the film is from 1987 so you’re not likely to catch Lady Gaga or Britney on the soundtrack. Another of my all time faves. But whatever you do… don’t watch the sequels, THEY SUCK – HARD!
Shadow is a fictionalized account of the making of real life classic horror film Nosferatu from 1922. This film tells of how the director, F.W. Murnau would go to any lengths to complete his masterpiece, even hiring method actor/vampire Max Schreck. Murnau explains to his cast and crew that Schreck is a ‘very serious method actor’ and that he will only appear in character as Count Orlok. The crew are fightened of Schreck and soon start suspecting him of sinister doings when some of the crew find themselves dead or missing. The sequences that are shot in black in white are to indicate portions of the film Nosferatu, with the colored parts signifying the making of… This film is one of the most visually stunning films ever committed to celluloid, and Dafoe’s portrayal of Schreck/Orlok is beyond amusing. If ever there was a role taylor made for this creepy dude, it was this one. And as always John Malkovich is absolutely brilliant, sadistic, slightly insane, and funny as hell. If you’re a fan of GOOD movies, very few top this one. Horror or not.
If your heart was broken by the person you thought was ‘the one’, how far would you go to get over it? Well this film tells the story of Joel Barish, who is heartbroken that his girlfriend Clementine underwent a procedure to erase him from her memory, so he decides to do the same. However, as he watches his memories of her fade away, he realizes that he still loves her, and may be too late to correct his mistake. This movie will confuse you, but in a really good way. It’s beautifully touching, and if you love films like The Notebook or other films of that nature, then you need to check out Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. It’s definitely a movie you won’t soon forget.
Based of the classic novel by Oscar Wilde it tells the story of Dorian Gray, an orphaned young man of privilege who goes from being uber naive and innocent to a corrupt and cold blooded killer. Dorian falls under the influence of Lord Henry, played by Colin Firth, who teaches him that the only good life is one of hedonism. While at first Dorian fights this, it doesn’t take long for him to fall under Lord Henry’s influence. Lord Kelso, an aspiring artist paints a portrait of Dorian to try and capture his astounding beauty, but as Dorian’s soul gets darker and darker, the painting starts to show his true nature. Not sold yet? Ok, then picture super hot Ben Barnes nakkid! Yeah, I figured that would get ya…
I do not like movies with subtitles. Ok, I need to revise that statement… I like ONE movie with subtitles. THIS ONE. Sure, I hated reading my way through the film, but believe me it was totally worth it on this one. The film centers around two boys growing up in a violent neighborhood of Rio de Janeiro and who take different paths in life. One becomes a photographer, the other a drug dealer. It spans from the late 1960′s to the early 1980′s and how two boys who had the same start in life could turn out so completely different from one another. Such a beautifully shot movie, and what a great story. It’s semi-biographical, so it’s a almost true story of Paulo Lins and his life in the slums near Rio De Janiero. Trust me, it’s well worth reading the subs in this movie. Everyone who I know that has seen this film LOVES it. |
