Anyone Missing us

There's been no posts lately now are people missing us?

Let's see if you leave a comment before I start leaving posts and no one reads it.

Geeks Rejoice

Geeks around the world will definitely be going to Comic-Con this year in San Diego next week to see the most beautiful woman in the world. That's right Angelina Jolie will be paying a visit to the 'Dork Fest'. I am sure some people will get mad that she is there saying she doesn;t have the comic cred but that is not true at all. Ms. Jolie was Lara Croft in the two Lara Croft: Tomb Raider movies, she also starred in Wanted, and if you count Mr. and Mrs. Smith with was action packed, is that Comic-Con cool, I have no idea.

The reason why she is going this year though is to promote her new film that comes out next week; Salt which has potential to become a franchise all in itself.

Is Angelina Jolie just good at picking out what action films will hit a chord will fans or does she make the films worth watching?

Oprah Winfrey Show, No One is Watching?

If that didn't grab your attention then I don't know what will but it is true, the Oprah Winfrey Show has hit an all time low for the show's history. Under 3 million people tuned in to see the show. Now all of her shows are in repeats so what's the big deal? Probably nothing but in the past her shows have always done well even in repeats. Maybe it is time for the Big O to retire... or at least go to cable.

Also an Oprah Winfrey spokeswoman would also like to point out that the show has been number 1 for 24 years, ohh yeah I guess she still is the Queen of Daytime.

More New Movies at the B.O.

This weekend like every weekend there are new movies vying for the top spot at the box office and from the looks of it the clear winner is going to be Inception. You know the movie staring Leonardo DiCaprio and sadly for Nicholas Cage his latest film the Sorcerer's Apprentice looks DOA, shall we have a look at my guess for top 5?

1. Inception - 68 Million - It's tracking amazing well and it is Chris Nolan's first film since releasing Dark Knight so even though my guess is high, I am sticking by it. With the action men will want to see it and also Leo is in it for the women... and Ellen Page for the "let's be friends"

2. Despicable Me - 30 Million - Chalk another hit up for Steve Carrell, this is no means a Toy Story hit but really what is.

3. Sorcerer's Apprentice - 20 Million - I think I may being too kind to this film, and would not be surprised it the weekend gross was lower. The reviews actually haven't been bad but really there is no buzz about it and no one really cares to see this I feel. This may be another summer blockbuster dud.

4. Twilight: Eclipse - 15 Million - Still staying strong and it will be the highest grossing of the Twilight films but it's been out for a while now so the buzz is fading.

5. Toy Story 3 - 13 Million - This movie is going to pass Finding Nemo has the highest grossing Disney Pixar film and if a movie had to do it I am glad it was this one, it's a great film. Will this be the highest grossing film of 2010 in the end, we'll have to wait and see.

Are the Hills Still Alive?

The MTV show the Hills has finally ended after 6 long seasons of blank stares and staged fights and I apparently thought no one was watching anymore but I was wrong. For the series finale the show drew 3 million viewers which also helped the City get it's best numbers with 2.3 million viewers. I don't know to me if it is a reality show it should be on Bravo, that's what Kevin thinks.

New Girl in the 'House'

This season on House, which I do not watch and really never wanted to but they are adding a new actress to the mix and I am happy that she is getting work. That actress is Amber Tamblyn who was previously on Joan of Arcadia (loved it) and the Unusuals (worked on it and liked it). She has been nominated for an Emmy for her role in Arcadia has the heroine, Joan. For House she been on for a few episodes, I am not sure how many but she'll be playing a brilliant med student.

Summer Reading - I Am On Fire...

The reason I am on fire? It's because I just finished the book, The Girl Who Played with Fire by Stieg Larsson and it was a quick ready even when it was over 600 pages, and why? Because the book has everything in it that you don't want to put it down. Many of the same characters are in from the original so you now get a sense that you know these people. I kind of now know why everyone loved reading the Harry Potter books andafter the third in this series I am not sure what I am going to do with myself, maybe see the movies!

Okay so now my new book I am starting should be of no surprise, it is The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest. Here is what the book is about but it could be a SPOILER ALERT if you haven't yet read the others.

Lisbeth Salander-the heart of Larsson’s two previous novels-lies in critical condition, a bullet wound to her head, in the intensive care unit of a Swedish city hospital. She’s fighting for her life in more ways than one: if and when she recovers, she’ll be taken back to Stockholm to stand trial for three murders. With the help of her friend, journalist Mikael Blomkvist, she will not only have to prove her innocence, but also identify and denounce those in authority who have allowed the vulnerable, like herself, to suffer abuse and violence. And, on her own, she will plot revenge-against the man who tried to kill her, and the corrupt government institutions that very nearly destroyed her life.
