Ocean's 13: No More, Please!

If you liked Ocean's Eleven and Twelve, you are either a dork without a social life or just a plain moron. Are you out of your mind? They're fooling you! If you just like plain star power with actors such as George Clooney, Matt Damon and Brad Pitt then watch this. But if you're after a movie with a solid plot, then please spare yourself the suffering and watch another. These movies suck. Now they have the third installment. The producers are demented!
Ok, if you really like this movie, I challenge you to defend it. What's so good about it? Send me your comments. And if you're able to convince me, then you'll have my condolences. My god. If you like this sucky movie, then you suck, too.
The third movie promises to be a gem! Yeah, right!

Dark Knight Movie in the Works!

Yes, this will be the sequel to the smash movie Batman Begins. Christian Bale returns as the Batman. But wait! Who's the villain. Oh, it's Heath Ledger, star of Brokeback Mountain. And no, he won't be playing a homo cowboy again. This time he becomes the Joker! Get a laugh!

Heath Ledger as the villain Joker will be awesome. He's a capable actor, even academy-nominated! So if you think Bale can act, then watch out for Heath! He rocks! As in the movie, A Knight's Tale!

No pun intended!

Villain in Spider-Man 3 is Venom!

Oh right. You've seen the trailer and you think it's Sandman or the new Goblin that's the lead villain. You're dead wrong. It's Venom!
If you don't know Venom, you're in for a deep shock. Venom is an alien symbiote that first bonded to Peter Parker, granting him the black costume with additional powers. You'll see this in the movie. The question is if they'll use the same story with the movie. All we know is that Topher Grace will be playing Eddie Brock, who ultimately gets bonded with the black costume, turning him into Venom.
Excited? Well, then get ready. It's only a few weeks away...

Ultimate Iron Man Figure Sold Out!

Hasbro, the new makers of the Marvel Legends action figures, have just released Emma Frost, Planet Hulk, X3 Beast, Hercules, Banshee, and Ultimate Iron Man. Everyone predicted that the most in demand figure would have been Hercules, for he played a big part in Civil War. But lo and behold, Ultimate Iron Man figures are sold out.
Each figure fetches a solid $20 easy. But don't be pressured. If you buy the complete set of 6 , you'll still get your fair share. So buy now. Happy hunting.

Justice League with Brad Meltzer

Yes. The Justice League of America has just been relaunched and writer extra-ordinaire Brad is at the helm. Don't know who he is? He's the fantastic writer of the Tenth Justice and Dead Even. He writes law thrillers. And him handling the Justice League is gonna be fun.

The story starts as Red Tornado is raised from the dead. But he was resurrected in a clone human body. What? But he's a robot. How could that be? Well, someone steals his android body and clones it as well. Enter Batman, Superman, and Wonder Woman. Now that Red Tornado's human, he can be hurt and even be killed. Permanently. And that's just for starters.
You'll love this story arc.

Remembering Robert Altman

You don't know him? Well, he's the critically acclaimed director who died last year. His last movie was The Prairie Home Companion, starring the mean chick from Herbie movie. (You have to know her. She's hot!)
If you wanna know this director, watch my favorite of his movies, Gosford Park. This stars Ryan Philippe and a bunch of other heavy hitters. Allis well in this mansion full of guests and servants. And then suddenly the owner of the mansion dies! Is it the wife? Is it the son? Is it the butler? The valet? It's the best whodunnit movie in ages. And it's not a suspense thriller. It's a different drama. Just don't watch the ending before everything else. It's a twister!
To one of my most respected directors, you've given us joys and laughs, and everything in between.

The Mighty Avengers!

After the effects of Civil War. The Avengers are split in two!
There's the rebel group consisting of Wolverine, Iron Fist, Luke Cage, Spider-Man, Spider-Woman, Dr. Strange and the new Ronin. Wondering where Captain Ameirca is? Read Civil War No. 7 to be shocked.
Don'tforget to get issues 27-30. It would feature the schism in the Avengers leading to the issue of Mighty Avengers No. 1! This team includes Wasp, Iron Man, Wonder Man, and others, to be led by Carol Danvers. Shock shock shock! Ouch!

Macau's Taipa Island

If you want a taste of Portugal or Europe in Asia, look no futher. Macau's Taipa Island is here!
All areas feature remnants of Portuguese influence: ruins galore! Not only that. Their old Taipa village is still existing. You can walk around feeling you're being transported in the past.
Also, try the local cuisine. Even the beer. Everything has a tinge of Europe. Even their architecture. Don't forget to pass by the little temples and museums. Lots of museums!
Although you might have a little difficulty. Most people there don't speak English. So remember to bring a guidebook. But this island is quiet. It's a haven for city dwellers.
