500 Days of Summer - Official Full Length Trailer
I just saw this movie and I actually liked it. I love Zooey Deschancel and she was good in it and so was Joseph Gordon Levitt. Her character makes a lot of sense and I love the fact that it didn't end the way every romantic movie ends. I give it ****stars and I love the music in it so I am going to have to get the soundtrack too one of these days. If you haven't seen it you need to see it yes it is different and weird but I thought it was also cute.

AP – FILE - This undated publicity image originally provided by A&E
shows actor Corey Haim, who appeared in …
LOS ANGELES – Actor Corey Haim died from pneumonia complicated by an enlarged heart and narrowed blood vessels, while drugs found in his system played no role in his death, the Los Angeles County coroner said Tuesday.
Haim, 38, died of natural causes from "community-acquired pneumonia" that damaged his lungs, according to an autopsy report.
Low
levels of eight drugs, including both prescription and over-the-counter
medications, were found in his system along with marijuana, coroner's
spokesman Craig Harvey said.
"But nothing was at a level that would have contributed to his death," Harvey said.
They
included tranquilizers and some common cold and flu medications, such
as ibuprofen and a cough-suppressant, the report said.
Haim,
who had struggled with drug problems throughout his life, died March 10
after collapsing in his mother's apartment. Haim was ill with flulike
symptoms before his death, and police said he was taking
over-the-counter and prescription medications.
"The pneumonia is what killed him," Harvey said.
Mark Heaslip, the actor's agent, did not return a phone message seeking comment Tuesday.
California Attorney General Jerry Brown
said in April that Haim employed "doctor shopping" to obtain 553
prescription pills in the two months before his death. Brown called
Haim — the star of 1980s films such as "The Lost Boys" and "License to Drive" — a poster child for prescription drug abuse. He said Haim obtained powerful sedatives such as Valium and Xanax and painkillers such as Vicodin and Oxycontin.
However,
no Oxycontin was found in his body, Harvey said. He noted that Haim's
heart was abnormally large and factored in his death.
"His heart was 530 grams. The average normal heart weighs 300 grams," Harvey said.
Haim also had damaged lungs and arteriosclerosis of his coronary arteries, with some vessels 50-percent and even 75-percent blocked. Haim also had an enlarged liver.
Harvey
said it was unclear how long Haim had suffered from the medical
problems or the pneumonia or whether earlier treatment might have saved
him.
A message left with Brown's office was not immediately returned Tuesday.
The
report said that Haim had been feeling ill two days before his death
and had a fever and severe cough. The report said he stayed in bed all
day March 9 and his mother gave him tea, vegetable soup, Robituson,
Tylenol and Advil, and Zophren. He appeared disoriented and collapsed
to his knees at about 12:30 a.m. the next day.
"His
mother helped him back into bed. His body began to shake in all
directions and his eyes rolled back. His mother called 911," according
to the report's synopsis.
He stopped breathing
and his mother performed cardiopulmonary resuscitation until paramedics
arrived. Haim was pronounced dead in an emergency room at 2:15 a.m.
The report said that Haim had a history of drug abuse and had taken several prescription medications about five days before his death. He also had a history of heart murmur and possibly hypertension.
Drugs found in Haim's system included the cough-suppressant
dextromethorphan; the antihistamine diphenhydramine; carisoprodol, a
prescription muscle relaxant; the tranquilizers diazepam and
meprobamate, which are found in Valium and other medications; and the
antidepressants fluoxetine and olanzapine.
American Gothic
This show was one of the best shows that was on the air. Unfortunatley it didn't last very long but for those of us who love this show like I do I am proud to put a video up here. Who knows maybe one of these days I will even make a seperate blog about this show. For those of you who have never heard or seen it you have to see it. It stars Gary Cole one of my favorite actors, Paige Turco, Sara Paulson and countless others. It was created by Shaun Cassidy from the Hardy Boys and Sam Raimi. This series I believe could have gone on to be a fantastic show but CBS I think cut it short and then aired the episodes out of sequence. It takes place in Trinity South Carolina where Gary Cole plays Lucas Buck who is the sheriff of this town and maybe the devil himsefl. I give this series ****** Stars. And don't forget "someone's at the door"
Lucas
I just saw the movie Lucas today and it was pretty good. It starred the late Corey Haim, Charlie Sheen, Wynonia Ryder and Courtney-throne Smith. It is a good coming of age story with lots of dramatic and comedic moments. I have never seen this movie before so it was a treat for me to see it. Overall I give this movie **** Stars.

The time Traveler's wife
This movie was okay it wasn't the greatest but it wasn't the worst I've seen either. It had Eric Bana which I wouldn't have picked because his acting wasn't very good and Rachael Mcadams who was okay but they did lack chemistry. This movie was about a Time traveler who meets his future wife when she is ten and he's a lot older than her. It was hard to follow and I was expecting it to be better how I don't know but just better. This movie managed to only get ***stars out of me. I am glad that I didn't go to the moives and spend my money on it but at least I saw it thanks to Netflix and it didn't even skip like the other two movies I saw did. Overall if you like romantic and sentimental flicks then by all means and see it but for me I am glad that this was my once and only time seeing it.

Benny and Joon Review
Today I was finally able to watch Benny and Joon. I love this movie so much that I am thinking about buying it now from amazon since I saw it from netflix. I am on this Johnny Depp craze right now and this movie just proves my point that he is not only a good actor but he is hot as well. Everyone was good in it except Adien Quinn who played Benny. The story line is that Benny and Joon are brother and sister and Johnny Depp plays Sam who acts like he is Charlie Chaplin and when Sam and Joon start having a relationship Benny isn't very happy. Joon is a mentally ill but artistic girl. If you like romance movies and comedy then you will love this movie. You can also find more information about this movie at www.imnd.com and just type in Benny and Joon. You won't be disappointed, I promise. I give this movie ***** stars. It's wonderful.

Charlie Sheen says if TV show ends, "so be it"
Charlie Sheen says if TV show ends, "so be it"
Award-winning actor Charlie Sheen has broken his silence on contract renewal talks for his hit TV program, "Two and A Half Men," saying that if his role ends after the program's current season, "so be it."Sheen, who was nominated four times for an Emmy for his role as sex-crazed bachelor Charlie Harper on the CBS show, gave a statement to People magazine on Friday in which he slammed media reports that he was demanding a higher salary.
"All of the numbers reported in the press are false. Claims from 'inside sources' regarding offers from the studio as well as my salary, on their best day, are without merit," Sheen said in the statement.
For years, "Two and A Half Men" has been among the most-watched sitcoms on U.S. television, and losing the program would be a blow to CBS's advertising revenue.
One week ago reports surfaced that Sheen, who is currently facing domestic violence charges in Colorado, was seeking as much as $1 million per episode, a substantial raise from his current level of $825,000, to continue on an eighth season.
The 44-year-old star's current contract ends after season seven, and the final show is being taped on Friday.
"If tonight's show is the end for me as Charlie Harper, so be it. Another journey has begun. I take from the experience 161 shows filled with a kaleidoscope of amazing experiences, memories, friendships and gratitude," he said.
Last December, the actor was arrested in Aspen, Colorado and later charged with assaulting and threatening his wife, Brooke Mueller. He has pleaded not guilty, and both he and Mueller have entered rehabilitation programs.

Peter Graves Death

LOS ANGELES – Peter Graves, the tall, stalwart actor likely best known for his portrayal of Jim Phelps, leader of a gang of special agents who battled evil conspirators in the long-running television series "Mission: Impossible," died Sunday.
Graves
died of an apparent heart attack outside his Los Angeles home,
publicist Sandy Brokaw said. He would have been 84 this week.
Graves had just returned from brunch with his wife and kids and collapsed before he made it into the house, Brokaw
said. One of his daughters administered CPR but was unable to revive
him. Graves' family doctor visited the house and believed he had a
heart attack, Brokaw said.
Although Graves never achieved the stardom his older brother, James Arness, enjoyed as Marshal Matt Dillon on TV's "Gunsmoke," he had a number of memorable roles in both films and television.
Normally cast as a hero, he turned in an unforgettable performance early in his career as the treacherous Nazi spy in Billy Wilder's 1953 prisoner-of-war drama "Stalag 17."
He also masterfully lampooned his straight-arrow image when he portrayed bumbling airline pilot Clarence Oveur in the 1980 disaster movie spoof "Airplane!"
Graves appeared in dozens of films and a handful of television shows in a career of nearly 60 years.
The
authority and trust he projected made him a favorite for commercials
late in his life, and he was often encouraged to go into politics.
"He
had this statesmanlike quality," Brokaw said. "People were always
encouraging him to run for office. But he said, 'I like acting. I like
being around actors.'"
Graves' career began with cheaply made exploitation films like "It Conquered the World," in which he battled a carrot-shaped monster from Venus, and "Beginning of the World," in which he fought a giant grasshopper.
He later took on equally formidable human villains each week on "Mission: Impossible."
Every
show began with Graves, as agent Phelps, listening to a tape of
instructions outlining his team's latest mission and explaining that if
he or any of his agents were killed or captured "the secretary will
disavow any knowledge of your actions."
The tape always self-destructed within seconds of being played.
The
show ran on CBS from 1967 to 1973 and was revived on ABC from 1988 to
1990 with Graves back as the only original cast member.
The actor credited clever writing for the show's success.
"It
made you think a little bit and kept you on the edge of your seat
because you never knew what was going to happen next," he once said.
He also played roles in such films as John Ford's "The Long Gray Line" and Charles Laughton's "The Night of the Hunter," as well as "The Court-Martial of Billy Mitchell," "Texas Across the River" and "The Ballad of Josie."
Graves' first television series was a children's Saturday morning show, "Fury," about an orphan and his untamed black stallion. Filmed in Australia, it lasted six years on NBC.
A western, "Whiplash," also shot in Australia, played for a year in
syndication, and the British-made "Court-Martial" appeared on ABC for
one season. In his later years, Graves brought his white-haired
eminence to PBS as host of "Discover: The World of Science" and
A&E's "Biography" series.
He noted during an interview in 2000 that he made his foray into comedy somewhat reluctantly.
Filmmakers Jim Abrahams and David and Jerry Zucker had written a satire on the airplane-in-trouble movies, and they wanted Graves and fellow handsome actors Lloyd Bridges, Leslie Nielsen and Robert Stack to spoof their serious images.
All agreed, but Graves admitted to nervousness. On the one hand,
he said, he considered the role a challenge, "but it also scared me."
"I thought I could lose a whole long acting career," he recalled.
"Airplane!" became a box-office smash, and Graves returned for "Airplane II, The Sequel."
Born Peter Aurness in Minneapolis, Graves adopted his
grandfather's last name to avoid confusion with his older brother,
James, who had dropped the "U" from the family name.
He was a champion hurdler in high school, as well as a clarinet player in dance bands and a radio announcer.
After two years in the Air Force, he enrolled at the University of Minnesota as a drama major and worked in summer stock before following his brother west to Hollywood.
He found enough success there to send for his college
sweetheart, Joan Endress. They were married in 1950 and had three
daughters — Kelly Jean, Claudia King and Amanda Lee — and six
grandchildren.
Graves credited the couple's Midwest upbringing for a marriage
that lasted more than 50 years in a town not known for long unions.
"Hollywood or New York ... can be very flighty and dangerous
places to live, but the good grounding we had in the Midwest ethic I
think helped us all our lives," he said.
