2012 + The end of the world = Good movie?





I just watched the new trailer for end-of-the-world movie called 2012. I had posted the teaser trailer several months back in this blog. The teaser trailer made me screaming for more but this new trailer just shut me up. Why? Coz it's freaking me out! I always feel out of hope everytime I watch movie like this. I remembered feeling down and lost all my hope for a brighter future when I watched Knowing, so I'm not so sure anymore if I want to catch 2012 when it come out. I know that dreaded feelings will eventually go away, and usually after several minutes or even hours, but still...I don't know. I'll decide when the movie is out.

Click here (2012 official site) or here to watch the trailer. Emmm...enjoy?

The Final movie?


Mmm...I wonder why they dropped the number 4 in the title. I think it would be much better if they put back the number in the title or at least put in a sub-title like Final Destination: The xxx xxx. Besides, it's a 4th movie in the series and it would be confusing if they named it like they did.

What am I talking about? The 4th installment in the Final Destination movie series. They titled it The Final Destination. Are they saying that this would be the last movie in the franchise? I hope not!

Here's the trailer for The Final Destination courtesy of IGN. This movie is set for release in US in August 2009. Enjoy!

Drag Me to Hell ~ review


Two words to describe this movie: Classic horror.

Drag Me to Hell is the movie which marked the return of Sam Raimi to the horror genre. As you guys may have known, Sam Raimi directed The Evil Dead series before he directed the ever-so-popular Spiderman trilogy.

Drag Me to Hell tells a story of a loan officer, Christine Brown (Alison Lohman) who had been cursed by a gypsy woman, Sylvia Ganush (Lorna Raver) after she refused to extend her (the gypsy woman) mortgage. It may sound like a simple premise for a movie but trust me, it's not a smooth ride. A lot of chaos, loud sound-effects, jump-off-your-seat moments, and of course, funny moments too (if you watched the Evil Dead series, then you know what I mean).

Acting wise, I was most impressed with Lorna Raver performance in the movie, she made old woman looks very scary and life-threatening to others. This just proves that you don't mess with old women. Alison Lohman's acting was also good as the cursed loan officer. Well, she has to be good because she appears in almost all scenes in the movie. Her portrayal as a naive, struggling and frustrated career woman was almost perfect for me, the audience could even relate to her and her struggles. The other supporting casts such as Justin Long (as Christine's boyfriend, Clay Dalton) and Dileep Rao (as the fortune teller, Rham Jas) sums up a great group of casts. In fact, I love the final scene when Clay Dalton and Christine Brown were at the railway station to go for a holiday trip to Santa Barbara. I think Justin Long was perfect in that scene, love it!

Talking about scenes, I think the final scene was really superb! Although story wise it was quite predictable but the execution was really good. Other great scenes were the loud-and-scary opening scenes and the I'm-getting-my-revenge graveyard scenes. Both are really good and fun to watch, and also my personal favourite scenes from the movie (together with the final scenes at the railway station). But there are a few scenes that I feel were unnecessary but since this movie is from a guy who made Evil Dead, then I guess anything goes. Another thing that bothers me is that everything in this movie wanted to go into Christine's mouth, that include a hankerchief, a fly, and anything that came out from the gypsy woman mouth (eeu!). Weird.

One thing for sure, Drag Me to Hell is a fun horror movie. Very frightening, hilarious, and entertaining. If you like horror movie, then this is a must-see. It was already released in the US for quite some time but had just recently been released in certain Asian countries (11 June 2009 in Malaysia).

By the way, do you ever wonder why this movie was named Drag Me to Hell? It's not a metaphore. The cursed person will be dragged to hell... literally.

...

Scary.

Mike Tyson Marries Lakiha Spicer In Vegas Just Weeks After Daughter’s Death


Boxer Mike Tyson has married Lakiha Spicer in Las Vegas on Saturday. This makes the third marriage for Mike Tyson, who sadly lost his 4 year-old daughter in a tragic accident just two weeks ago. Read more on Tyson’s wedding below.

The owner of the La Bella Wedding Chapel at the Las Vegas Hilton hotel-casino told The Associated Press on Tuesday that the boxer and Lakiha Spicer were married Saturday in a private ceremony.

The Chapel owner, Shawn Absher, stated that the couple arrived around 10 p.m. in a limousine.

County marriage records in Las Vegas confirmed Mike Tyson, 42, and Spicer, 32, obtained a marriage license about 30 minutes before their ceremony.

It’s nice to see some happy times for Tyson after the tragic death of his 4 year-old daughter, Exodus, two weeks ago from a treadmill accident. The little girl was said to have suffocated after her head was caught in a loop of cord hanging under the treadmill in their Phoenix home.

Tyson’s agent, Harlan Werner, told the AP that Spicer is not Exodus’ mother.

Tyson and Spicer, a resident of suburban Henderson, asked for a simple ceremony with nothing special, Absher said.

“They just wanted to say the vows and be married,” he said. “It was very sincere.”

Tyson has been married two times already…to Robin Givens in 1988 and Monica Turner in 1997.

Tyson and Spicer seemed very in love, Absher said.

“They were very heartwarming, and I think they really do love each other. “He seemed happy — and his life’s been up and down.”

Congrats to Mike Tyson an Lakiha Spicer on their marriage!

Miley Cyrus & Justin Gaston Break Up!


Miley Cyrus and Justin Gaston have ended their relationship! Aww… but they were so cute together. Read more on the reason for Miley and Justin’s break-up below.

“Hannah Montana” actress, Miley Cyrus, and model Justin Gaston reportedly decided to part ways on Sunday.

“They have been having trouble for a while,” a source told US Magazine.. “It’s been hard for a long time since Miley has been working so much and traveling a lot.”

Some people have said Miley Cyrus’ ex Nick Jonas was the reason for the split, but supposedly the couple are working on projects together.

Added the source, “Miley and Nick are working on a couple different projects together. Justin has been a little jealous of that.”

Miley Cyrus, 16, is currently in Savannah, Georgia to shoot her latest movie “The Last Song”, without Gaston, 20.

“He’s got his own thing going on,” Cyrus told Us. “But I am just continuing to work hard and definitely have the whole tour going on and my clothing line and the movie.”

A rep for Cyrus had no comment on Miley and Justin’s relationship.

Did you guys like Justin and Miley as a couple

Michelle Obama Gives Carla Bruni Sarkozy The “Stink Eye”


Wow! If looks could kill! Media has reported that France’s first lady, Carla Bruni-Sarkozy, and the United States’ first lady, Michelle Obama, were getting along royally. But sometimes a picture is worth a thousand words. Read more below.

Although most sources report the first ladies were bonding like crazy, many details (as well as the photo above) seem to show they could have all been faked for the cameras. Supposedly the Obama’s and Sarkozy’s had such differences of opinion that the couples decided against going to dinner together while in Paris. Rude huh?

Sarkozy and Obama have many differences in opinion… one on whether Turkey should be admitted to the EU. According to the French president, Turkey should be offered a special status within the EU, but not a full membership. Turkey is a predominantly Muslim country and Germany and France consider it ‘non-European’.

But Barack Obama believes Turkey should be in the EU, as a member with full rights.

Carla Bruni Sarkozy is a former model as well as a singer with quite a few topless photos online. Could Michelle be jealous of the pretty French first lady?

Travis Barker Slams “Deadbeat Moms” On His Twitter Page


Travis Barker posted his thoughts on motherhood today on his Twitter page. It makes you wonder if Travis was referring to ex-wife Shanna Moakler. Also check out Travis Barker’s remix of Eminem’s 3 AM video below.

Travis Barker wrote on his Twitter page:

(“Kids are not to be used as weapons. Deadbeat moms that sleep all day,seeking money, attention like 2 do so. Just hurts the kids in the end. Giving birth 2 a child doesn’t make u a good mom. Taking care of them, loving them,waking up with them, spending time with them does.”)

Shanna’s rep responded with saying, “As I’ve said before Shanna is not going to play out her personal relationships in the media.”

Since when? Shanna seems to be a major drama queen. What do you bet that she will respond?

Check out the always awesome Travis Barker with his remix of Eminem’s 3 AM in video below:

Hayden Panettiere Flies Amidst Pregnancy Rumors


Returning from yet another trip, Hayden Panettiere was spotted waiting for her luggage at LAX International Airport yesterday (June 10).

The “Heroes” hottie showed off a heart-shaped necklace to a few pals at the baggage claim, while also checking her mobile phone quite frequently.




In related news, Miss Panettiere is the object of pregnancy rumors again, only a few months after she was said to have been knocked up back in February.

And of course, her rep is expected to make a statement later today denying the story that her client is carrying a child.

Kate Gosselin Gasses Up in Reading


Fresh from her vacation to Bald Head Island, North Carolina, Kate Gosselin was spotted refueling her car in Reading, Pennsylvania earlier today (June 10).

The “Jon and Kate Plus 8” mother looked a bit annoyed with the paparazzi as she pumped gas, sporting sunglasses along with a blue top and black trousers.




And it sounds like Kate & Co. are feeling the same real estate crunch as the rest of the nation- their 5-bedroom 2 ½ bath house is still on the market.

Neighbors are thankful, however, that the Gosselins relocated. Marilyn Soutner told press, “Fans were dangerous; fans were always coming right up to their house. I’d stand outside with my phone staring at the door like I was calling the police ... It was making it a very, very dangerous neighborhood. You don’t know who [was] in those cars.”

James Von Brunn Kills Security Guard Stephen Tyrone Johns at Holocaust Memorial Museum


James Von Brunn, 88, opened fire with a rifle in the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum on Wednesday, killing security guard, Stephen Tyrone Johns, before being shot by other officers. Read more on James on Brunn, who apparently has a long history of ties to white supremacist groups.


James Von Brunn, an 88 year-old Maryland man who has a website called the Holy Western Empire, and has ties to Neo-Nazi’s and white supremacist groups.

James von Brunn has served six years in prison for attempting to make what he called a “legal, non-violent citizens arrest” of Federal Reserve board members in 1981. Of course Brunn blamed his sentencing on “a Negro jury, Jew/Negro attorneys” and “a Jew judge.”

“He has an extremely long history with neo-Nazis and white supremacists. He’s written extremely incendiary publications raging about Jews, blacks and the like.”

Von Brunn is from St. Louis, Missouri, a 1943 graduate of Washington University. He served as a Navy Officer in World War II. By the late 70’s Brunn had become a “hardcore neo-Nazi” .

In December 1981, angry at the “treacherous and unconstitutional” acts of the Federal Reserve, Von Brunn entered the central bank’s Washington headquarters with a pistol, a shotgun, a knife, and a fake bomb. Von Brunn claimed to have planted a bomb, forcing the evacuation of the building.

Von Brunn was sentenced to six years in prison on attempted kidnapping, second-degree burglary, assault and weapons charges.

Von Brunn’s trial dealt extensively with his “attitudes about black and Jewish people,” which his lawyer said were irrelevant to the charges he was facing.

Documents were read at trial in which von Brunn wrote, “Goal: to deport all Jews and blacks from the white nations,” among other racist statements.

Von Brunn has posted many hate-filled postings on his website and others. Most recently the messages questioned the authenticity of President Obama’s birth certificate, the subject of numerous conspiracy theories. Advocates of those theories imply that Obama was born overseas and therefore would be constitutionally ineligible to hold office.

Von Brunn is in critical condition Wednesday afternoon after being shot by a security guard at the museum.

Washington police and the FBI said the shooting appeared to have been the work of a single gunman.

Jon and Kate Gosselin: Doing Their Own Thing


It continues to look like the Gosselin family is on the decline as today (June 9) Jon and Kate were spotted spending the day apart.

The “Jon and Kate Plus 8” stars both looked downtrodden as they went about their separate agendas out and about in Reading Pennsylvania.


Kate took two of her brood on an errand-running marathon while Jon picked up a snack at a local gas station as the paparazzi fired away.

And on tonight’s episode of the hit reality show, Jon and Kate get to cook with celebrity chef Emeril Lagasse. Though they seem to get along most of the time, at one point Kate slaps Emeril on the hand with a spatula with a ‘Bam!’

Cristiano Ronaldo Enjoys Time Off in the States


Making the most of his time in the States, Cristiano Ronaldo was spotted grabbing some dinner at the swanky Madeo restaurant last night (June 8).

The international soccer stud looked handsome as he made his way inside the Beverly Hills eatery after having been escorted to the restaurant with his friends in a stretch Hummer limousine, later proceeding to Hyde Lounge to finish up the night on the town.




And it sounds like Mr. Ronaldo is back on the injured list after he complained of abdomen pain during and after Saturday’s World Cup qualifying victory over Albania.

Cristiano is expected to fly to Miami, Florida next week to undergo surgery so as to begin the healing process as quickly as possible. He’s due back in Manchester July 6th for practice.

Katy Perry: Twitter Addict


Never one to turn down party invites, Katy Perry was spotted out at the Lulu Guinness 20th Anniversary soiree at the Victoria & Albert Museum on Monday (June 8).

The “Waking Up In Vegas” singer offered up a “peace” sign to photogs covering the event, then making her way inside to mingle with fellow guests including Sophie Ellis Bextor, Jo Wood and the guest of honor, Lulu Guiness.




Meanwhile, Miss Perry recently confessed that she’s addicted to Twittering - leading to pretty much everyone knowing where she is at all times.

“The other night I was in a great Mexican restaurant and so I Twittered — not that I was in this particular restaurant; I was a bit cryptic about which city it was — but there were people outside a minute after I put that out there. I forgot I was broadcasting live. I am addicted to it,” Perry tells.

Lindsay Lohan Pays Sam Ronson a Visit


Continuing to fuel rumors of a reunion, Lindsay Lohan was spotted visiting Samantha Ronson at home yesterday (June 7) in Los Angeles.

The “Mean Girls” actress has been teasing the public with hints that the two are engaged by sporting a diamond ring on her left-hand ring finger as of late.



Earlier this week she wrote on her Twitter page, “Leaving London but with my favorite favorite!!!” adding, “Great news to share!! Maybe…”

Corroborating the reports that LiLo and SamRo are back together, a close friend told press, “They haven’t started fighting yet, but they are back together as far as Lindsay is concerned. Lindsay has been doing so much better and has been giving Sam her space. She is really dedicated to making it work.”

Stewart and Fanning both looked a bit tuckered out after a long rehearsal session for their upcoming biopic “The Runaways.”

Sandra Bullock in The Proposal


I miss seeing Sandra Bullock on silver screen. She's one of my fave actress. I think the last time I saw her movie in cinema was Miss Congeniality 2: Armed & Fabulous. Yeah, I know, long long time ago. This June she will star in The Proposal alongside Ryan Reynolds. I hope I have time to watch this!

The Proposal is a story about Andrew Paxton (Ryan Reynolds) who was forced to marry his boss, Margaret Tate (Sandra Bullock) in order for her to avoid being transferred to Canada. They spent the weekend with Andrew's family and eventually started to fall in love. I know this kind of movie is quite predictable but since Sandra Bullock is in it, I don't really mind.

Here's the trailer for The Proposal courtesy of IGN. Enjoy!

Jon Gosselin Denies Dog Abuse


As his wife Kate kept busy running errands around town, Jon Gosselin was spotted chatting away on the phone while sitting on his ATV in Reading, Pennsylvania on Monday (June 5).

The “Jon and Kate Plus 8” star has found himself back in the headlines today, as he denied claims of animal abuse that have stacked up against him.


Talking about the family pooches, Jon previously told press of his brood: “Those kids beat them up, climb on them, pull their tails, bite at them, drag them around and everything you can imagine not to do to an animal, they’ve done.”

After the local Humane Society received numerous complaints, Mr Gosselin tried to clear the air, releasing a statement reading: “I’d like to set the record straight. We understand the responsibilities of being good dog owners. Whenever my kids are with Shoka and Nala, everyone is carefully supervised to ensure that no one – dog or child – is injured. Shoka and Nala are loyal companions who we consider members of our family. We would never do anything to hurt them, and treat them with the respect and love that they deserve.”

Gwen Stefani Talks No Doubt


She and her band are going strong on tour these days, but Gwen Stefani admits that there were times of tension for No Doubt.

In an interview with Elle magazine, the “Hollaback Girl” songstress opens up and says, “Everybody’s making it like there’s all this tension, you know, like I stepped away from the band and now they’re jealous of me, and look, maybe there is a little bit of that.”



Stefani, 39, adds that the band attempted to make a new record before going on tour, but was unable to come up with new material.

“I think it was a little about the song, and a little about our coming back together. There was this little air bubble that needed to pop, you know?” Gwen tells.

Things seem to be all good now - as “No Doubt” continues on with their tour up and down the east coast this week.

I'm back!

I'm back!!! I was so busy last month and finally it was all over. Although there might be another project coming soon but for now, I'm back to blogging.

Did anyone miss me? Guess not. ;-P
