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.

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.
