Who won in that other award show?

So I'm sure you already heard the news about who won at The Academy Awards, so I won't go into that. However, the night before Hollywood's biggest party, The Razzie's announced their winners.

Most notably, The Last Airbender won 5 awards including worst director, picture, and screenplay. pretty hard hit for the film. I didn't watch it but I've never felt to proud to say I saved my 10 bucks and skipped this one.

Other interesting category's was worst Prequel, Remake, Rip-off, or Sequel, which went to Sex and the City 2. Again, no argument here, those hum....ladies, are getting too old for comfort. They had a good thing going with the first movie, but they just had to kill it. Some people just don't know when to quit. Hopefully they won't aim for a comeback.

To check out a list of all the winners check out this article.

Let me know what you think, do you think they left out any horrible movies?

Remake alert!

Hollywood is looking for someone to fill Whitney Houston's shoes for the remake the 1992 movie The Bodyguard.

For those of you who never heard of it before, here is the official description of the old film:
A well-known entertainer, stalked by an obsessive fan, hires an ex-Secret Service agent to protect her and the two fall in love.

I'm assuming they will put some modern twist in it and include some cyber stalking. Regardless I'm hesitant of the idea of remaking this movie. I have seen it and to be honest, it's not that memorable. I don't see the appeal of watching a new version of something that wasn't that good to begin with.

I am curious to see the new cast. What if it was Beyonce? Would you go watch that? Or Lady Gaga? That would be...interesting.

What do you think about the remake? Is it worth it? Who should star?

Where would you put your Oscar?

So I stumbled on this article on Yahoo! about where the stars put their niffty Oscar awards. I reccomend you check it out and ask your self, what would you do with the prized award.

What about a bullet-prof case in Sue Sulvester style? A cheerleading national championchip may not be as public as the Oscar, so the actor should take special care to protect thier prize from an attempted assacination.

I don't really see the appeal of placing your Oscar in the bathroom, no matter how much it matches your facet... I think actors just like to be weird. Saying that your Oscar is in your office, isn't as cool or 'hip' as saying you want to melt it down to make a doornob.

Let me know what you think, where would you like your Oscar?

Yay! More super hero trailers



No sarcasm here, I'm genuinely excited about super hero movies. Since the teaser trailer of X-Men First Class, I've been looking forward to the first official trailer.
Looks promising to me especially because of the Cuban Missile Crisis reference. Alternate realities are always fun for someone like me who loves history... or at least the History Channel.
I can't really say I know the comics but I remember watching the original cartoon, which I loved. From what I compared in the other movies, they don't follow the comics that much but I don't mind. A good story is always going to be good regardless of what the comics say. To all you comic lovers, please don't stone me for saying that!

Bieber, you just can't miss him


So, he's in the Super Bowl commercials, he's constantly on the radio, he has made lots of late night apperances (most notalbly on The Daily Show)and in case you missed the memo, he's now in 3D.


Justin Beiber opened the box office at number 2 this weekend, being beat out for the top spot by Just Go with It. I honestly thought Beiber fever would win out and dominate the weekend. I'm not a fan at all, but with all hype going on with this kid, it seemed eniveitable.


So why didn't Beiber open number one? Sandelers movie didn't look like much of threat and Beiber was pulling out all the stops in terms of publicity. I couldn't watch tv with out seeing him in a commercial, apperance or movie trailer. Did he burn people out?


Why didn't Beiber's 3D debut make the cut?

Queen gives "The King's Speech" her o.k.


With the Oscars approaching, the nominees could use any 'bump' from any celebrity or others in the public eye. ideally, if you made a movie about a legendary British monarch, who would be the best possible person to get an endorsement from? What about the monarchs daughter how is now Queen?

Queen Elizabeth II had a private screening of "The King's Speech" and "was moved" by the film.

The news comes at a time when all the contenders for the Oscars are pulling out all the stops to wow the judges. In an official statement the production company said "we are deeply honored and humbled by Her Majesty's appreciation of the film. It was a labor of love for all of us, and this is high praise."

The movie about King George VI and his rise to the thrown has earned 12 Oscar nominations. This is great PR for the film in general and perfect timing in terms of publicity for the Oscars.

However, how much will this influence the movies chances on award night.
