Tim Burton re-imagines "Alice in Wonderland"
Tim Burton and the strange that he carries with him is back, this time in Alice and Wonderland. USA Today released the first still from the film, along with the main cast. Johnny Depp plays the Mad Hatter, Burton’s wife Helena Bonham Carter plays the Red Queen, Anne Hathaway the White Queen, and the role of Alice will be acted out by 19-year-old Australian actress Mia Wasikowska. Other cast members include Michael Sheen as the White Rabbit, Matt Lucas as twins Tweedledee & Tweedledum, Christopher Lee as The Jabberwock, Crispin Glover as The Knave of Hearts, and Alan Rickman as The Caterpillar. The latest reports state this as the current synopsis of the film: “Alice, 17, attends a party at a Victorian estate only to find she is about to be proposed to in front of hundreds of snooty society types. Off she runs, following a white rabbit into a hole and ending up in Wonderland, a place she visited 10 years before yet doesn’t remember.” Just by looking at the inital stills, one can clearly see that this recreation will be very trippy, colorful, and weirdly unique, no surprise from visionary director Tim Burton. Click here for interactive images from the movie, including peeks at “the white rabbit,” “Alice,” and “The Tweedles.” Alice in Wonderland is set to be released in Disney Digital 3-D on March 3rd, 2010. Look after the break (click “more…”) for the released character images. Continue reading Tim Burton re-imagines "Alice in Wonderland"
Lost : The Final Season gains extra hours of life
Entertainment Weekly’s Michael Ausiello has reported via Twitter that “ABC confirms that Lost’s sixth and final season will total 18 hours, including two-hour premiere and two-hour finale.” Originally, the final season was supposed to have 16 hours. However, due to the writer’s strike shortening season four, two extra hours have been added to season 6. Everyone rejoice! Lost : The Final Season airs in January 2010.

Michael Jackson, King of Pop (1958-2009)
Michael Jackson is a true icon. He revolutionized music, dance, and soul. He questioned the status quo and forever changed the landscape of the music industry. His unique vocal style and choreography brought us great music, slick dance moves, and entertaining tours and music videos. “Jackson was an unstoppable juggernaut, possessed of all the tools to dominate the charts seemingly at will: an instantly identifiable voice, eye-popping dance moves, stunning musical versatility, and loads of sheer star power.” Thriller (1982) is the best selling album of all time, having sold between 100 and 109 million copies worldwide. Some of my favorite MJ songs are found on Thriller. They include Beat It, Billie Jean, and Thriller. Although it scared the heck out of me as a youngster, the epic music video for Thriller is one that is so influencial, and I will never forget it. I am a big fan of all genres of music, and we have MJ to thank for pushing the industry in the right direction. People can say what they will about MJ, but let it be known than I will always remember Michael as the young star of the Jackson Five singing his ABCs, moonwalking his way to fame.
RIP Michael Jackson, King of Pop.

Transformers: Rise of the Fallen
…or Megan Fox is Smoking Hot. Michael Bay’s Transformers 2 is a fun movie. Fun = tons of explosions, transformers metal-on-metal action, Shia Lebeof running, lots of comedic scenes, and, of course, watching Megan Fox do her thing (look mighty fine). The story itself is a continuation from the first Transformers film, obviously, and it involves the war between the Autobots and the Decepticons. With humans stuck in the middle of it all, Sam Witwicky and his pal Optimus Prime are their only hope for survival. If you go into the movie looking forward to great dialogue and Oscar-worthiness, you will be disappointed. The trick to really enjoying this movie is twofold: go into it looking forward to having a good time andanticipating the hotness that is Ms. Fox. If you follow this advice, you will highly enjoy Transformers 2. Guaranteed. Oh, and the CGI is stunning.
Seeing it in IMAX at the midnight showing also helped. People (mostly comprised of Transformers fans) were hootin’ and hollerin’ the whole time, clapping, and whistling when you-know-who enters the scene. Two memorable quotes from the showing: (1) “Yeah, Optimus Prime roooocks!!” (2) [Megan Fox enters first scene] “This is the only reason why I’m here!”
EPIC FAIL – I'm On a Boat, A Cappella
Funny? yes. Fail? even more yes.

Eminem goes to rehab, brings us Relapse
Slim Shady is back. It has been four years since Eminem’s last studio album, Encore. Where has he been, you ask? Back in the summer of 2005, Eminem was forced to cancel the European part of his “Anger Management Tour” due to an addiction to sleeping pills. Later, he re-married and then re-divorced his ex-wife Kimberly Scott andhe lost one of his close friends and fellow rapper DeShawn Holton (who was shot). Due to all of this pain in his life, he “relapsed” and became addicted to many kinds of prescription drugs. This was a very dark period in his life. In 2007, he was hospitalized due to an overdose. After taking a 12-step program to rid his addictions, it has been reported that he has been sober since April 2008. And this is where the history lesson ends. Look after the break (click “more…”) for the full review. Continue reading Eminem goes to rehab, brings us Relapse
J.J. Abrams, my hero
J.J. Abrams is a true genius. He is a film and television producer, screenwriter, director, actor, composer, and founder of Bad Robot Productions. He is a visionary who relies on mystery and suspense to tell gripping tales of characters people can truly invest in. He is the creative mind behind TV shows Felicity, Alias, Lost, Fringe, and soon-to-be-aired Anatomy of Hope. He is also behind the incredible films Mission: Impossible III, Cloverfield, and Star Trek. According to the latest rumors, he plans to bring sequels to M: I, Star Trek, and Cloverfield in the near future. He will also be directing a novel-to-film adaptation of Stephen King’s “The Dark Tower” with Lost pals Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse. The past, present, and future of Abrams’ career is always bright. His work is often filled with buzz-worthy news and tons of fan-fare. He is a unique figure in the entertainment business. He really understands the intricacies of mystery and how to perfectly manipulate the audience member so that he is brought to the edge of his seat, jaw-dropped, during the climax and then wholly satisfied at the conclusion. I am overly excited about what the future holds with J.J. Abrams at the top of his game. With Lost coming to an end after Season 6 and Fringe on its way to Season 2, I am positive he is well underway creating new mysteries to be witnessed and new characters to be introduced to. While I am enjoying the films and TV series that are currently released and on-air, respectively, I wait with open arms and an open mind to see what Abrams has up his sleeve next.
