Heroes Season 3: Villains | Promo Stills

So when we last saw our heroes...
Peter finds out that Adam actually wants to unleash the virus and stops him from doing so. Hiro buries Adam alive. Monica is kidnapped by a street gang and Niki saves her, but gets trapped in a burning, exploding building. Elle saves Suresh, Maya and Molly from Sylar's clutches. Sylar regains his powers using Claire's blood. Nathan has a press conference to go public with his power, but is shot before telling about his powers.

Who dies? Who lives? Based on the pic above, looks like our heroes have survived to fight another day. The new season of Heroes, called "Villains" premieres Monday night-September 22nd.

For only $4.99 a minute, Claire-Bear will talk as nasty as you want!

Horror Movie Review | Lost Boys: The Tribe (2008)

Synopsis:
Risking everything in search of the ultimate rush is fun when you know you can't die. Angus Sutherland taking up where brother Kiefer left off in the original cult favorite is the lead vampire in this modern reimagining of The Lost Boys. The seaside village of Luna Bay is rife with outcasts and plagued by an outbreak of missing persons. As the sun sets the Tribe rises: a group of adrenalin-fueled thrill-crazed vampires tears up the surf and the streets with nonstop action. But when a champion surfer (Tad Hilgenbrinck) and his sister (Autumn Reeser) move in dark secrets erupt into hot-blooded passion and full-blooded fear. Helping fight the forces of hell: Corey Feldman in his signature role of vampire hunter Edgar Frog. Once you join the Tribe there's no turning back.
My Review:
Simply put Lost Boys: The Tribe isn't as good as the original, which I think most people would assume going into the movie, but with that said Lost Boys 2 is actually a surprisingly fun and wicked ride. I didn't really expect much, but hoped for at least a fairly decent horror flick, but it actually turned out a lot better than I thought it would. Much like the 1987 original, Lost Boys: The Tribe is campy and a bit silly, but it does step up on the gore and nudity. I thought it presented well-done gore and closely mimicked atmospherics of the original (one does have to take into account that this is a direct-to-DVD movie, but with that said the production values were much better than most movies released in theaters-anyone remember I Am Legend?)


What I didn't like was Corey Feldman, who I think is an incredibly bad actor. I just kept finding myself wincing every time he was on screen delivering cheesy line after cheesy line. Gee-I wonder why this guy does not work more. I imagine the only reason he was in the movie is to tie it more to the original (and hence sell more units). Also the music was OK, nothing like the soundtrack to the first, but again you really can't compare the two movies!


What I really dug about the movie, was the last scene during the credits, where we have Corey Feldman hunting his best friend Cory Haim (also from the original) who has apparently now become a vampire. Great setup for a third possible movie, which I would rent (even if Corey Feldman is in it). Overall, Lost Boys: The Tribe is not the "Suck-Fest" most people have been shouting out, but a fun entertaining flick... a great summer B-Flick.
Movie Rating: 3.5/5

Quote Of The Week | Hush (1998)

Hush is the tale of a young heroine made miserable by a lover's eccentric relations. Gwyneth Paltrow plays Helen, a New Yorker who marries a handsome boyfriend (Jonathon Schaech) and--following a confidence-shattering encounter with Manhattan crime--moves to his family's thoroughbred ranch. There, the young man's dominating mother, Martha (Jessica Lange) ,goes to war with new bride's claim on mama's Oedipal turf. A stock thriller ensues, and while one has a sense of dj vu about the whole thing, the film is fun for its audacity, its underpinnings of dime-store psychology, and some gothic stereotypes.
There are actually a few great quotes from the movie, so here they are:
Quotes:
1.)
Martha Baring: "Get up! You think you're an alley cat, dropping its litter by the side of the road"?
2.)
Martha Baring: "I want this lying bitch out of my house".
Helen: "There's only room for one of those".
3.)
Alice Baring: "There's something I've always wanted to tell you. You smell like horseshit".
My Review: So I finally got around to watching this movie, some 10 years later, and although not a great movie it was not that bad. I thought Jessica Lange played Martha perfectly, allowing her psychotic side to simmer just below the surface. Campy and entertaining, my only two problems with the movie is first, the ending (nobody dies a tragic gruesome death-WTF? Jessica Lange's character does not die, Gwyneth's character does not die, not even the fucking baby dies. I'm sorry but you really need some type of death at the end of these movies) and secondly, throughout the movie there would be scenes where Gwyneth was obviously wearing some cheap-ass wig. One scene, she has beautiful and natural hair, the next some ratty wig. I'm thinking she had to go back and do re-shoots but must have already cut her hair short or something. Did the director really think that the audience was not going to notice? Well worth the watch, maybe I will catch it in another 10 years or possibly next Mother's Day. NO ONE LEAVES MARTHA!

Madonna | New York Magazine Cover Girl (August 11th 2008)

If only she looked this good....all the pics I see of Madonna, she has no makeup on, hair is stringy and nasty and her clothes are a mess. I would advise her to get a new stylist, but it's well-known how cheap she is, so she probably does not even have one. Despite these few flaws, we still love Madge (just stop looking like SHIT all the time)!

Not one of my favorite tracks from Hard Candy, she should have released "Devil Wouldn't Recognize You".

John Meyer | Looking Good Post-Work Out

I've never really paid much attention to John Meyer (don't care for his music and I don't care for Jessica Simpson either-glad that's over!), but these shots of John leaving a workout last week in Los Angeles got me thinking-damn the boy cleans up nice!
