Movie Thursday

Slumdog Millionaire
Release Date: In theatres
Fan Buzz: Great
Critic Reviews: Outstanding

WKFTB Opinion: A movie about an Indian man one question away from winning his country’s version of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? Sweet. This was released forever ago, but it’s still doing strong at the box office, despite being shown in 2, 500 less sites than Paul Blart. Going toe-to-toe with Benjamin Button for Best Picture. And to be honest, with the buzz it has been generating lately, this might take it.



Taken
Release Date: Friday
Fan Buzz: Mixed
Critic Reviews: 50/50
WKFTB Opinion: We love Liam Neeson. And how couldn’t you? He’s pretty much the man. This movie looks pretty badass, but at the same time it definitely has potential to be unbelievable corny and predicable. The trailer is reminiscent of pseudo-thrillers like Cellular and The Interpreter, both of which saccccked. Proceed with caution.



Push
Release Date: Feb. 6
Fan Buzz: So-so

Critic Reviews: None yet
WKFTB Opinion: Dakota Fanning was on Leno last night. Looks nothing like I picture her. Can’t believe she’s been around forever and she’s only 15. Some of the previews on TV look just awful. But this short little one below makes it look dece. On the fence about this one. Probably would see it with movie cash or something.



X-Men Origins: Wolverine
Release Date: May 1
Fan Buzz: Pumped
Critic Reviews: Too early
WKFTB Opinion: Oh man, pumped for this one. X-Men movies always kick ass and especially blow the doors off on the big screen. Wolverine snared the first ‘Origins” because A) he’s obviously the illest character and B) the producers love Hugh Jackman in that role. He is Wolverine.



Pop Culture Tidbits:

-Remember Wolfie posting the video with Joaquin Phoenix rapping? Wow. I thought it was a joke. Nope – not one bit. Guy is dead real with it…well, we think. He claims he is going into rap and that Diddy is producing his album (although Diddy hasn’t confirmed) and some people are wondering if he’s just joking around or if the once-alcoholic has fallen off the wagon again. Casey Affleck is apparently filming everything Phoenix is doing for a possible documentary. I guess everyone at this Vegas show below had zero clue what he was saying/doing at this performance. Video below:



-50 Cent says that Nic Cage will start with him in the first movie 50 produces.

-George Clooney will make a secret appearance in one of the last ER episodes ever this spring. Clooney, of course, starred on the show in the early stages of its 15-year run on air.

-Jennifer Hudson’s singing of the National Anthem at the Super Bowl this Sunday will be her first performance since her mother, brother and nephew were unmercifully murdered in Chicago. I’m rooting for her.

Few Updates

-I decided that Urijah Faber is my fav mma fighter earlier today so I wanted to make sure I caught him against Pulver on Versus tonight. I did, and Faber dismantled him in the first round. Like I said in a previous post, Faber got caught when he fought Mike Brown and lost the WEC belt. In the rematch I think Faber tramples him and my wallet might think the same thing. Brown is getting all hyped but he doesn't impress me that much, just a heavy handed brawler and nothing special. Faber is fast, strong, explosive, a former wrestler, can stand with anyone, great submissions, sick tempo, and has maybe the best cardio in MMA. The only way you really beat him is to catch him with a lucky punch like Brown did when Faber went for a flying elbow. Interesting note is that Joe Lauzon and Hermes Franca who are matching up in a couple weekends, both hold submission wins over Mike Brown.

-Ovechkin and the breakaway challenge at the skills competition. Chara also hit 105 on the slapshot competition and set the all time record. Ovechkin really needs his own post though soon. Jesus he is a gap toothed creature.

-We are getting good feedback on the blog so far but we've got some work to do in terms of traffic. Nick checked our old wordpress blog and realized we still get over 500 hits a day and up to 1500 on some days. Thats more than we get here and we haven't updated the old blog in a year. What the? Wordpress tags get scooped by search engines much better than blogspot I guess. We'll figure it out soon enough. Keep spreading the word for us in the meantime.

-I got an Ipod touch yesterday and damn, that thing is extremely ill. If you have wireless in your home, it might be worth getting. Legit life changing possibilities. All the applications, the wifi, the music, google earth, youtube, safari, dvd's, games, shows, etc, are very awesome. Also I have Pandora for it and if you were late to the party on that thing then get on it asap. It just feeds you nonstop music over the internet and it learns what kind of music you like over time and gives you stuff you would like. I could do a whole post on Pandora alone but if you have an iphone or a touch you need this.

-Im copying this from the old blog but oh well. I know some people have already watched this one but I cant risk someone not seeing it. Mullet head got walloped and pwned. Sounded like a gunshot. Look at the look on the punchers face as shes winding up, then the double fast walk away. Check out the old lady at the beginning too. Love this clip so much. Rlol


-This next youtube is actually pretty recent. You know the quote that says trust the art and not the artist? Well that would probably apply to Joaquin Phoenix' decision to pursue music. Great actor, but are you toying with my life man? Get a grip bro. Seriously grab a mach 3 and come back to planet earth.
