The other day, a once beloved pop star, Michael Jackson, died. This sudden yet unexpected death occured when he went through cardiac arrest in his home and was rushed to the hospital, and nearly 2 hours later, pronounced dead. He was a very accomplished star. He had a great hit song in his younger years “Thriller” which was the best selling album in history. The music video was the first of its kind, revolving around a boyfriend and his girlfriend going to a scary movie. Michael Jackson had fantastic choreography and had suberb acting. Also, in his hit song “Beat it”, yet he made America, again fall in love with him.

I was listening to the radio on my way home in my car when I heard the announcer say this. I said, “How can he possibly be dead?” He was a legend, a LIVING legend until that sad day.

Also, this article shwed up on the aol news website, with the headline

Jackson/Rowe Not the Biological Parents

And I started to laugh. I mean, what idiots just figured that out? I don’t know about you but I thought America knew about that for a long time. “She was merely the surrogate, and paid well for her services in the births of Michael Jr. and Paris.”    Well, duh.

America will deeply miss you Michael, and I am sure the whole world will too, but one last question.

Why do mysteries like this pop up AFTER he’s dead?

Camp Rock or Camp Suck?

Miley Cyrus was embarassed to tell that she once had a crush on Jessie Mac, and said she made one of her songs after him. Read this article from our friends www.teenscoops.wordpress.com.

Miley Ray Embarrassed By Jesse Mac Crush

     Trust me, if you knew my dad, you would never want to see this movie ever! He has to always make one stupid crack about how suckish the movie will be. Me, I can’t wait to see it. Check out these early reviews from these different places.

Stars of the hit movies appeared at a specially held press conference on Friday to mark the beginning of filming High School Musical 3: Senior Year. Despite being grilled by the international media, the cast were adamant not to reveal any secrets. According to rumours the plot centres on the senior prom and whether Troy and Gabriella are to remain sweethearts or go their separate ways after they graduate.

Asked whether there was any pressure for HSM3 to top the previous two movies Zac Efron who plays basketball hot shot Troy Bolton said “I kind of think of it as the third act. This is the third movie. We’re not looking to top anything, just to do it justice.”

On the first day’s shoot on Saturday Ashley Tisdale was given a police escort. The officer was only seen to leave her side when she was actually involved in shooting a scene.  Tisdale was seen looking unsociable and down at the mouth, reportedly not speaking to other cast members except Vanessa Hudgens who wasn’t working but had turned up to hang out with her co-stars.

The movie will hit the silver screen on October 24th!

Missing Vanessa?

Vanessa Hudgens Rejected From High School Musical 3

Disney dont want her because of the nude scandal…

 Would High School Musical Be The Same Without Vanessa? Yes – She’s nothing special

No – She’s integral to everything

Erm… Vanessa who?

Wall-e looks like the cutest movie to ever hit the Disney screen. (Right next to Toy Story of course) It looks original, unique, and even more, ahdorable! This movies is going to be a hit, and everyone knows it.

It is about as far from the “same-old” as you can get. I got to see it last night and it is nothing less than astonishing. A love story with robots that is so emotional and touching. Robots who teach humans how to be human again. And it is the best looking film so far this year of any released or on the horizon. The animation is virtually ALL pantomime-and is so entertaining. I can’t wait to see it again! What an amazing risk Pixar took-and it really pays off in spades.”

-Early Buzz

I waited a bit to do this review, mainly because I’d heard it through the grapevine that we were all supposed to keep our keyboards closed after the screening I attended.

The Alamo Drafthouse South Lamar here in Austin played host to the first public screening of Disney/Pixar’s WALL-E, with a big thanks to Harry Knowles for continuing to bring us fantastic opportunities like this.

But, enough time has passed, and I’ve just gotta’ say it: Wall-E is magnificent.

Everything you could imagine wanting from this film, you’re going to get, and so much more that you probably never saw coming.

I’m going to talk a little about the plot. Not a ton, mind you, I’m not out to spoil the movie for anyone, but it’s tough to talk about what is so great in the film (and what doesn’t necessarily work) without talking about the film itself. I want you to be as fresh as I was going into the film, so don’t worry!

The Set-Up

Our culture is such a consumer society that Earth is covered with trash. A Wal-Mart style corporation, named BnL, has been Earth’s primary source for…well, everything! Food, gas, goods, vehicles, robots – you name it, BnL provides it.

We come into the story where everyone’s already abandoned the planet. A group of robots has been left to clean everything up, the WALL-E units, and when these little guys are finished, human’s will supposedly come back. How the robots clean this isn’t necessarily clear, as all that seems to happen is they compact trash into cubes, then build structures out of them. Big, huge, massive pyramidical towers of garbage.

All the WALL-E units are inexplicably broken down. Save one – a Johnny-Five reminiscent cute little creature whose AI has apparently become sentient. He’s enamored with the mundane things of our lives, the stuff we’ve thrown away and don’t care about anymore, and collects certain items – zippos, boxes, toys, etc.

Oh, and he loves the classic musical Hello Dolly!, dancing and emulating whenever he gets the chance.

The only other being on the planet is a cockroach, who is never given a name. He scurries around, and honestly, is the thing that helps us realize how personified WALL-E is.

One day, WALL-E’s doing his job, compacting trash, and a big, huge, honkin’ space ship lands. Mechanical arms from the ship drop off an upside-down egg shaped probe (designed with some help from Apple’s Jonathan Ive) who we learn is named EVE. WALL-E is in love.

Eventually, circumstances cause WALL-E to hitch a ride into space where he encounters the long-gone human race, who have “evolved” due to their new lifestyle. His presence is an immediate influence on the ship, and the bulk of the movie follows his adventures.

WALL-E is a Romantic Comedy

Pixar’s movies work because they don’t typically pander to young kids (Bug’s Life and Cars being the exception to this rule). The directors and writers always find a way to infuse smart, adult-resonating material, which makes them timeless. You can watch them as a child, and then continue to enjoy them into your adulthood, gaining different pieces of the puzzle.

Just like Nemo was a story about loss and father/son relationships and The Incredibles was about learning that you can balance life and work and still be happy, WALL-E is very much a story about the sacrifices sometimes necessary to make love work.

WALL-E goes to every extreme imaginable because he’s in love. Nothing is more important to him than the relationship he is fostering with EVE, a career-minded “woman” who has her own lessons to learn about letting go of her duties and giving into what her heart desires.

If you’re saying to yourself, “Dude, this movie is about ROBOTS!” then you understand why WALL-E is so amazing.

Never once do you stop and think, “They can’t be in love! Oh, they would never do that! They’re robots!” Instead, you find yourself smiling, cheering, and identifying 100% with the characters onscreen. Because once again, Pixar’s team of amazing creators has found a way to make concepts and objects we normally don’t identify with every bit as real as any human. Hell, probably more-so, because that’s the magic of movies. A crowd full of 300+ people all saying, “Awwwwwww!!!” at the same time!

The Bad

I don’t know if you can even say it’s bad, but the most jarring thing in the film is the inclusion of human, live-action elements.

This happens pretty early on, so there’s nothing given away by revealing this. Yes, it makes sense, to a degree, why there is the goal to use real people versus CGI constructs, but the creatives would have done better to go with Ratatouille or Incredibles style humans for these scenes. Fred Willard makes numerous appearances, and while often funny, he never seems to fit in any situation you experience.

Yup, that’s all. That’s the only thing that makes me deduct 1/2 a point from this film, because while it’s doesn’t fit in 100%, it still works, and these portions of the movie are vital to the story. You get used to it, and ignore it, but it never quite sits right.

See it! Many times!

I can’t wait to see this movie again. And again. And watch it in BluRay on my big ol’ TV!

Can I say this is the best Pixar film to date? No, because I’m a comic nerd and I love The Incredibles so much. Brad Bird’s a genius (see The Iron Giant if you haven’t, you’ll thank me) and the balance of that film is so flawless, the voice acting so good, the plot points and characterization spot-on.

The same thing, though, can be said about WALL-E. Andrew Stanton immediately connects you to this character and makes you care about them. Even though no real dialogue appears until halfway through the film.

WALL-E is you. Me. Your neighbor. Your son. Your daughter. He’s searching and grasping for things that are bigger than he is, and you love him every minute along the way. Just like he’d love you.

Look For more on Wall-e coming soon!

    Ok, we love avril Lavigne! Once we went to one of her shows, we knew she was the one to watch 4! Check out this awesome review sent in by the Gwinnet Center in Georgia.

“Try and shut me up tour”
Featuring Avril Lavigne with Gob and Simple Plan
at Gwinnett Center in Duluth Ga.

When you have to drive 450 miles to cover a concert your expectations are high and when the artist is multiple Juno award winner Avril Lavigne your expectations increase ten fold. So you can imagine how nervous I was when credentials were not at will call. Minutes later a representative brought our credentials down and we were off to photograph the show. The pleasantness of the staff just added to the over all experience especially considering this was my first time covering a show at the Gwinnett Center in Duluth, Ga.

Gob opened the show and put on an excellent performance. This is a band your going to hear a lot about in the near Future. Simple Plan followed and to the surprise of the crowd bassist David Desrosiers had to be assisted onto the stage by Avril Lavigne after injuring his leg skateboarding earlier in the evening. When the crowd saw this happen they just went crazy. Injured and chairbound he was still able to crank on his bass. We’ve covered Simple Plan before and these Canadian rockers just keep getting better with every show. This is a band that is on the way to the top.

As good as the opening bands were the highlight of the show was Avril Lavigne who if you haven’t heard of her, is an 18 year old Grammy nominated singer from Ontario, Canada who sold several million copies of her debut CD LET’S GO. Performing in front of a sold out crowd of of all ages, Avril started the show off with an incredible rendition of sk8ter boi, 30 seconds into the song I realized that this is a person who was born to entertain. With her angelic voice when she sang, I’m with you, it made you feel like she was singing directly to you and not to an audience of over 11,000 screaming fans. In an era where so many artists go thru the motions of performing it was a breath of fresh air to see Avril Lavrigne making constant eye contact with the audience and having a blast with every song she sang. Highlights of the show included an unforgetable version of Knocking on Heaven’s Door and Avril’s first hit single Complicated. After listening to her CD and seeing her perform in concert I believe that she has the ability to become one of the greatest performers of the modern era of music. Would I drive 450 miles again to see Avril Lavigne in concert? Hell, I’d drive 900 miles to see her perform shes that good!

So, look for Avril Lavigne in magazines and concert times, and all that crud!
