For all my "FAME" fans!!

A reinvention of the Oscar-winning hit film, Fame follows a group of actors, singers, dancers and artists over four years at the New York City High School of Performing Arts, a diverse, creative powerhouse where students from all walks of life are given a chance to live out their dreams and achieve real and lasting fame...the kind that only from talent, dedication and hard work.

"In an incredibly competitive atmosphere, plagued by self-doubt, each student's passion will be put to the test. In addition to their artistic goals, they have to deal with everything that goes along with high school, a tumultuous time full of schoolwork, deep friendships, budding romance and self-discovery.

"As each student strives for his or her moment in the spotlight, they'll discover who among them has the innate talent and necessary discipline to succeed. With the love and support of their friends and fellow artists, they'll find out who amongst them will achieve fame."




It will be interesting to see how they will revamp this classic! I look forward to checking it out!

Set to hit theaters September 25th, 2009.

Surprise Flick for 2010!!

Let me just say this if you went to see Transformer 2 (which you should if you haven't) then you saw this amazing trailer for this upcoming film, M. Night Shyamalan The Last Airbender. All I can say is that this is going to blow your mind!! And the trailer speaks for itself!! Check it out!



In a world where the four elements can be controlled by people known as "Benders", the Fire Nation is waging a ruthless, oppressive war to control the other great nations. The only hope for stopping the brutal war led by the Firebenders rests on the shoulders of a reluctant young boy named Aang (Noah Ringer). The last known survivor of the peaceful Air Nomads, also known as Airbenders, Aang is also the world's "Avatar". The "Avatar" is the physical re-incarnation of the world itself, with the power to manipulate all four elements. Aided by a protective teenage Waterbender named Katara (Nicola Peltz) and her bull-headed brother Sokka (Jackson Rathbone), Aang begins a perilous journey to restore balance to their war-torn world. Standing in their way are Fire Nation Admiral Zhao (Aasif Mandvi) and Prince Zuko (Dev Patel), the banished prince of the Fire Nation who seeks to capture the young Avatar to regain his honor.

To think I grew up with his music, its as though a part of my childhood and life has died within in me. But even though this is sad news, it makes me want to embrace life even more and definitely continue to live life to the fullest!! So just a little something that I can do to show my love and appreciation for this great legend, is to showcase the numerous talents and accolades of "The King of Pop".

"Transformer's Sequel Becomes a Top 25 PRE-SELLER!!

Despite what any critic will or ha said the Transformers sequel has become a surefire success at the box office a day before the film was released -- it's already among the top 25 pre-sellers of all time.

Top movie-theater booking site "MovieTickets.com" reports that more than 600 performances of Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen have already sold out, including 274 midnight showings!!

The film has alreadyknocked out the original 2007 Transformers from the top 25 list. According to "MovieTickets.com" executive vice president Joel Cohen tells WENN, "So much for being robots in disguise; Transformers 2 is sure to be one of our highest-grossing and most visible openers in 2009."

Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire and Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King top the list of pre-sellers, ahead of The Dark Knight, Twilight and Hannah Montana and Miley Cyrus: Best of Both Worlds Concert. All the Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings films make the top 25 on the list, as do the two Pirates of the Caribbean sequels, Spider-Man 3 and High School Musical 3: Senior Year.

And seeing the above list all of these were successes if not BLOCKBUSTERS!!

BIGGER and BETTER!! WOW!!

OMG!! To all those haters and critics I see what Michael Bay was talking about. This movie was pure off the chain entertainment!! I was not disappointed at all with the new Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, matter fact I am still on a cloud "20" from all the action and excitement!! (just imagine chill bumps slowly forming) Bay most definitely is truly showcasing his skills as a director, regardless to what all those haters have to say! They can kick rocks...lol!!

First let me start out by saying that I like how the beginning starts it gives a nice little background prelude to get the ball rolling. It depicts primitive human beings in the year 17,000 BC hunting a tiger, only to be interrupted by the appearance of "the Fallen" which begins to attack them. And if you peep close enough you will see more Transformers constructing a gigantic device before the scene fades to black. There is a constant flow of events with this movie and the fact that the characters are consistent from the previous one just makes it all the better (with a few new additions)!! All of those characteristics help for the viewer to also have a better understanding of the Transformers.

Keep in mind this is a continuation so it very important to pay close to small details throughout because you could very well miss something!! The connection between the Autobots and the humans is somewhat tested in this film to the point where Sam Witwicky (Shia LaBeouf)must become somewhat of an ambassador to maintain the alliance, even when he doesn't want to. But its even more interesting to see how they are able to tie in Sam going off to college shows his true fate of what he must do, in a sense its like a wake-up call....."What if we leave and you are wrong?" (Optimus Prime to the military) The humans plus the Autobots must set their priorities so that neither destroys the other. There is a sense of pride that is given off that must be kept to a minimum in order to save the lives of the world. And if they don't "the fallen" shall rise again (hence the title).

Man oh man...I still can't believe how AWESOME it was, and to think this might be Bay's last Transformer film. I'm not even going to spoil it for you, you just gotta go and see it!!

Now granted I know you think I will say that this film is perfect, but every movie has its flaws, however the positive did outweigh the negative. One slight problem that I had was that the Devastator/Constructicons really did not have an introduction, moreless they just kind of appeared. But this does not take away from the fact that you can kind of assume their role. The fight scenes in this are crazy ridiculous and brilliant all at the same time!! (At moments you try to figue out who is who, however... Much intensity is shown!!) With this film there is no doubt that it raises the bar yet again for CGI, for me it felt somewhat lifelike (especially if you go to see it in the IMAX). Another thing that I liked about TROTF, was that it was still able to retain the humor from the first one without it going overboard. With the addition of some funny autobots it just adds to the laughter. And lest I not forget the sound simply put, incredible. One might say its much better than the first film. Basically the movie will speak for itself!! And the writers (Orci, Kurtzman, and Kruger) definitely elevated the bar of what it takes to create a outstanding film.

After watching this film I realized you get exactly what you should expect. Bay gave it to me and some!!! With movies like this "they let you enter into a state of imagination where the impossible becomes possible and the stressful becomes enjoyable." It was more than just the action, this was a movie of epic proportions. This was definitely an upgrade, I mean there were so many stunts I was blown out of my seat. It almost seems that over time the Transformers got quicker, because the movements were so fluid....wow!!!

In the end with the proclamation from Optimus, the Transformers and humans really do share an untold history and will need to combine their differences for the greater good. Now the one question remains should locked in my mind should Megatron OR Optimus Prime have been resurrected....hmmmm you be the judge on that one.

Grade: A

Rewind Wednesday: Transformers Style!!

Well today's Rewind Wednesday is going to be a little different. Normally the films that we cover are 10 yrs or older, but in this case we're going to switch it up. Since today is the nationwide opening of Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, I'd figure I would give you a throwback review of the first Transformers. This will give you the opportunity to catch up and get pumped for the new one.

So here we go!!

Transformers: The Movie

What more can one say about the Fourth of July! As an avid movie-goer, I was excited about the holiday weekend and the movies that were in store! Probably the number one movie on my list and many others was that of Transformers.

Directed by Michael Bay, who has wowed us with several movies this year and in the past, one would not be disappointed after catching this flick! The first initial two minutes grabs your attention to the point to where you have no choice but to enjoy the rest of the movie!

As many know the film is based on the 1986 cartoon, in which two races of robotic aliens the Autobots and the Decepticons are in constant battle of the fate of the universe. There was a time when the battle was outside of the Earth's realms, but the battle has made its way to our planet. And now the humans are faced with trying to survive in the midst of a "tug of war" battle between the Autobots and the Decepticons.

Throughout the movie we are able to see various storylines that still bring us to one universal theme of being able to sacrifice to receive victory! There is even a lesson of sometimes those in significant power can stand to use a little assistance from those of little power. And one lesson that I cannot forget would be that of sometimes we don't choose our destiny, but our destiny is chosen for us; but it is up to the individual to master it.

I admired the fact that the movie was able to maintain its original form still adding that touch of modernism. The special effects had me sitting at the edge of my seat with my EYES WIDE OPEN and mouth in awe! Your heart will be racing and blood pumping in full effect. Just watching the actual transformation of the cars to robots makes me wonder, "could my car do that?"....lol! The personalities of the robots also gives an entertaining effect as well.

Let me not also forget the humans that took part in the movie as well...lol! With actors such as Shia Labeouf (Disturbia), Tyrese Gibson, Jon Voight, Anthony Anderson, Josh Duhamel, Meagan Fox, and John Turturro there plenty of room for a little piece of every piece of the theatrical pie. Each actor and actress played a role that provides the audience with a better grasp of the storyline.

I could describe this movie in two simple words, "Pure Action"! After leaving the movie, I realized that even the cartoons of the 80's can stand the test of time today in the new millenium! I can assure that not only did the cars transform but the dollars will be too! Cha-Ching!!
